Several weeks ago I saw a webpage with Sudoku variations, including one where chess pieces were put in some of the cells so that no piece attacked another. That gave me an idea for a Chess variant involving elements of Sudoku.

The board is 9x9, divided into 3x3 squares just like a Sudoku board. Each side has 9 pawns, 2 rooks, 4 bishops, 2 queens, and a king. (Yes, there are no knights) Pawns start in the player's second row, and the player's first row is RBBQKQBBR.

Pieces move as in FIDE, except each non-pawn has the ability to leap anywhere in its current 3x3 area (unless the destination is occupied by a friendly piece, of course).
