Starting position of tutti-frutti chess

Tutti-Frutti Chess is a variant that adds the three classic knight compound pieces to the 8x8 board.

Tutti-frutti chess was created by chess variants creators Ralph Betza and Philip Cohen in 1978. The variant has enjoyed some popularity in tournaments, especially those hosted by the Italian Association of Chess Variants (Associazione Italiana Scacchi Eterodossi).

Tutti-frutti chess is played mostly like the standard game, but with three new pieces added:

• The princess () moves like a combination of a bishop or a knight. It may slide diagonally like a bishop or jump like a knight, but not both in one move.
• The empress () moves like a combination of a rook or a knight. It may slide horizontally or vertically like a rook or jump like a knight, but not both in one move.
• The amazon () moves like a combination of a queen or a knight. It may slide in any direction like a queen or jump like a knight, but not both in one move.

In the starting position, the queen's rooks are replaced by empresses, the queens by amazons, the king's bishops by queens and the king's knight by princesses.

The king may castle with the empress as he may with the queen's rook in standard chess, provided all the castling conditions are met.

Pawns may promote to the three new pieces in addition to the standard options.

This chess variant does not have any notable sub-variants.
