Trap chess (a variant I made) where captured pieces (except pawns) go to ‘jail’ and a player can choose to use a move to ‘hit the jail cell,’ where their move is wasted and if the cell is hit three times, the piece is freed and switches to its owner’s color. The player can place the piece it freed, at any time, on any available square. Watch out: your opponent can free your jail-cell piece and take it for their own! This variant is like crazyhouse.

'Super Queen' variant. The queen can also move like a knight. I've played a few games like this...It definitely adds a whole new dimension to the game. An interesting diversion. -:]

Think big: I would add a system for constructing new variants. There is surely some open-source engine dedicated to chess variants such that it could be implemented into Lichess. IMAGINE!!!!!!!!
