Swedish Chess - a drop-chess variant with regular pieces. Solves the problem of opening monotony in modern chess.

Are the drops independent for each player?. How is the dropping mechanics?.

The players take turns to drop pieces. Only when dropping on one's own
pawn, one must immediately relocate the pawn to an empty square. Then
it's the next player's turn.

I have updated Swedish Chess (zrf) so that it relocates the pawns to better positions. Swedish Chess should appeal to Fide-chess fanatics who have grown tired of studying openings, but who aren't particularly fond of the alternative FischeRandom.
