This would unironically be a fun variant

If we are modding chess.
Make board 10x10 add two pawns, and add a prince and princess.
Cross between king/knight/pawn and queen/pawn.
Prince moves like knight but only into an unoccupied square, takes like a king, but only moves forward like a pawn, can move back one square when taking.
Princess moves like a queen but only forward, like a pawn.
So..forward or diagonal but not sideways or backward? Interesting, does she take a crown at the end?
I think side ways is OK. No backwards.
Haven't thought it through too much, promotion would have to be play tested.
I like this idea, think if we can already have the king switch with the rook, maybe a similar mechanic with the princess sort of summoning the queen to blast everyone or vice versa
