Grasshopper Corps
Both rooks become grasshoppers that leap over a piece to land behind it.
A grasshopper travels along queen lines but must hop over exactly one piece and stop on the square right behind it. It cannot move to an empty line, so it is strongest on a crowded board and nearly useless on an empty one. Castling is off because the rooks are gone.
What changes
The board does not start the way standard chess does.
Standard chess: Classical chess. Checkmate the king.
