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]

A particular mutation that is often worth doing early is to pocket a Rook and mutate to Nightrider. This has technical merit and is also an excellent bit of psychological warfare--your opponent can't help but wonder 'What is he going to do to me with that Nightrider?'
