Janus Chess is a chess variant played on a 10x8 board and introduces two new pieces called the Janus, as well as two extra pawns for each player. The Janus combines the movement of both the queen and the knight, meaning it can move like a queen, horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, and also like a knight, in an L-shape. This makes the Janus a powerful piece, offering more strategic possibilities. The goal of Janus Chess is the same as traditional chess: to checkmate the opponent’s king. The inclusion of the Janus pieces, the extra pawns, and the larger board size create new challenges, adding depth and complexity to the game.
