Pocket Mutation Chess. Take one of your pieces off the board, maybe change it, keep it in reserve, and drop it on the board later. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Promotion does dominate the endgame. When the board gets empty, the number of pieces is often more important than their strength--the player with more pieces can usually afford to trade a Queen for a Rook or sometimes a Bishop. King and anything vs. King is a win--the enemy King can't defend the whole eighth rank. So you just keep promoting or mutating until you have King and Rook vs. King or better.
