Teleport: pawns falling on rank 8?! + +Followking Rules +The whole army moves when the King does. +When the King makes a move, all pieces of the same color move one square in the same direction (parallel to the King's move.) +If by doing so, any piece moves onto an opposing piece's square, the opposing piece is captured. +If a piece moves off of the board, it is lost. +No castling. +Tip: Having your King next to an opposing piece is not considered check, even if your opponent could capture your King using a whole-army King move. It's up to you to prevent this. +Ed Pegg (1999) + +Werewolf Rules +Convert by capturing. +Werewolf moves up to 3 squares as a Queen. +Capturing a werewolf with any piece sacrifices that piece and changes the werewolf to your color, except... +When the capturer is a King, the werewolf is captured normally. +Pawn cannot promote to Werewolf. +H. G. Muller (2015) + +Pawnside Rules +Pawns can move sideways one square without capturing. +Pawns can execute the initial double-move as long as they are on their starting rank. +Checkmate to win. +As far as I know, the first appearance of this variant is in the recent paper due to Tomašev, Paquet, Hassabis, and Kramnik, "Assessing Game Balance with AlphaZero: Exploring Alternative Rule Sets in Chess."
