Made up a new variant of Chess - Fusion chess

[Dodo]

Play with me, The Rules are simple.

In the following,  the word "pieces" also includes pawns, for shorter writeout.

Fusion Chess Rules:

 

Fusion Basics:

 

Capturing your own pieces allows fusion, creating hybrids like KnightBishop or RookPawn.

Fusion Limits:

 

Each player can fuse no more than 3 pieces together.

Fusing kings with any other pieces is not allowed.

Unlimited Fusions:

 

Players have unlimited opportunities to fuse pieces throughout the game.

Piece Combinations:

 

Examples of legal fusions include BishopKnightPawn (moves like bishop, knight, and pawn) and RookPawn (moves like rook and captures like a pawn).

Strategic Limits:

 

Fusing more than three pieces onto the same square is not allowed.

Recognize that a RookBishop fusion is essentially a queen, so assign new strategic value to each fusion.

I already smell a strategy where you rush for fusing your bishop and rook or knight and rook, creating 2 more queen strength, but now you have less army, altho stronger. So there needs to be balance and sometimes fusion can backfire!

 

I started this game against myself. 

This is the current position, white to move. I have recorded each piece square on chatgpt so I can build that position from there.

White To move. CHOOSE black or white and make a move if you choose white, or say you choose white and wait for me to make the move. Anyone can make a move, play vs me or suggest moves for either side but not make them. 

This variant seems lots of fun to me .

I am not into chess. I rather play heroes of might and magic 5.5, pick necropolis, win everyone on impossible difficulty and the last opponent is a demon lord who gates his army and kills all my units with few losses.
