btw Anonymous M is now a yellow slime
also underhalls is such a cool name for the because the amount of bricks on the board increases and it gets more cramped and stuffy, like the name suits it so much.

PART WHERE I STOP YAPPING
Thanks @VishTheFish771 for the name! You suggested it for another variant, but i think it suits this variant more. Thanks to @TimeVeteran, @OMISGOAT, @CzarnyResorak567 @VishTheFish771 @iamchesspro0930 for testing.
This chess game is made in honor of @Imchesspro0930. Dead pieces, number of spells, piece choice, promo (almost) - everything connects to the username of this nice person who is the reason I didn't quit making variants in the first place and kept going. Thanks!
The unique part about is that every square you move from turns into a brick, making it a fun tunnel to navigate and try to checkmate/give 2 checks to your opponents king. Spells are here to increase the mobility of queens, knight-riders, camel-riders.
- Can't your opponent just hill rush?
- No, look - https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/89877933/25/1
- What if I just build a wall around my king?
- This is not viable strategy since 1. you will lose a lot of tempos, and 2. queens and pawns promoted to queens can jump through 2 thick walls, so even if the riders won't be able to get your king, queens will do that. Example: https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/89897000/83/3
- This looks extremely drawish!
- Nope, draws are impossible here. If the game won't end in checkmate/check/capturing the king, one of the players will eventually stalemate themselves.
- Why so little pieces?
- If I add more pieces, the board will get cramped on move 10, with pieces being stuck on each other, which is not enjoyable to play
- Will you ever stop making NCVs and make a new WoF?
- Probably not.
