On this board, the Rook can bring any 1 (one) other friendly piece along with it, but the player must balance the other piece atop the Rook and push the Rook along the board to its destination. The Rook may at no point leave the game board. If the carried piece falls off at any point, it is forfeit. The player must also imitate the noise of any internal combustion engine while moving the Rook.

Will I be disqualified if I make a steam train noise?

Any number of models that can fit or balance on the Battlewagon can be carried by it. Any models which fall off during play are judged to have actually fallen off and the normal rules apply.

I think the rooks should have to be pushed by a bunch of pawns

Assembling a surveying kit on my end of the board to prove a slight curvature and thereby spare myself a humiliating defeat.

Ah yes, Vladimir Putin's preferred chessboard.

Naw, I think his would have the pieces set up as standard, but with all the extra space behind his troop lines.

OR OR OR, seeing as there's plenty of room for everyone, there's no need for war?

I would love to see professional chess players give this a fair chance. The clock could stop when they declare their move verbally (ensuring that the game doesn't devolve into an endurance test) and start up again for the next player upon the move being completed.

Queens and rooks are gonna dominate the field, everything else being barely useful

I prefer the wide game just to see the King run a marathon to castle up.
