ok this variant sounds insane but it is a lot more tactical and brain-breaking than what it seems.
Everything is normal chess, BUT if you place one of your pieces next to your opponent's piece it starts "infecting it" to your side. If they both stay one full turn next to each other then the opponent's piece defects to your side. That's it!!
if that newly acquired piece is next to another opponent's piece will also start infecting it, and so on... one infection could cascade to infecting half their army if they're not careful.
But even then one time i was up by SO much material, opponent was left with only his king and, because i wasn't careful, he started a huge infection and infected more than half my army, eventually winning!
It's a capture the king variant, a bit messy to calculate on a normal board, but i made a demo for it. If you google chess-laboratory it's one of the most popular variants on the main page
Should be called Coronavirus Chess
If you make a tournament with it, you can give this trophy to the winner

amazing
i searched chess laboratory but i didn't find any variant called 'Plague Chess'. So wth do you mean??
Don't both sides have this infection ability? If your piece is next to my piece, they're both infecting each other and both pieces change sides?
