The-youwontpass-piece this piece is really like a cancer for your pawns every 2 moves this piece pulls back your best placed pawns.

"The emotionally unstable Queen" - Can be used by both players. Changes sides after every move.

The piecemaker. It starts on e4, and can be moved by both players. It moves 1 square at a time, may not capture any piece but the king. You cannot put a piece on it. If it captures a king, the game will end in a draw. You can capture your own king.

The "01000100 01100001 01100101 01110100 01101000 ". It requires attention every turn, it will make the worst "opinings" ever

The anti-chess this piece puts your king in a random square of the board every 5 moves to make the game more exciting. Opponent is not an exception

The empty square - it leaves the board when captured by any piece, and returns as soon as that piece leaves. Uhm didn't we already have this?

The Droste pawn - when one Droste pawn 'captures' the other the result is determined by these pieces playing a separate game on a miniature board with miniature pieces including miniature Droste pawns - and so on.

The negotiator - whenever moved offering a draw is obligatory.

Empty square scares me... it will return in my nightmares

I feel followed by "the empty square"

The bureaucrat. It sits on h1 and a8 initially. It freezes the position for one minute, and then commits suicide and gets replaced by a rook. Then it's Black's turn. All his pieces are frozen for a minute, until his bureaucrat commits suicide and is also replaced by a rook. Then it's white's turn, and the game continues on move two.

I suppose this piece has the use of wasting two minutes of time, so perhaps a modification is in order, and it is on the board initially but must be swapped out immediately before making the first move. Still wastes a little time though, so not 100% useless.

Maybe it's not even allowed on the board at all and has no use whatsoever in the game, although I guess it could still be used as a weapon. Thus, it's probably best to say that there is no such piece at all, which makes it utterly useless, except that it just wasted a couple minutes of my life (and yours too).

The google...it looks and sees if any of its own pieces are under attack, and if they are, it eats them...

Poolala

The lunatic: This piece is completely insane, and will capture any pieces adjacent to it, white or black. It moves like a king.

VeganMeatball

The 3-D blob it is placed on g4 for white and b5 for black. it cannot be captured. It can only be moved up and placed back down. It gives your opponent the next move. If there are three consecutive blob moves in any game, either side can claim a draw.

The traffic light, long-distance pieces need to stop and when it turns green they MUST finish the intended move

The unmovable rook is on a3 for white and a6 for black. It moves up, down, or sideways exactly 8 squares.
