See https://www.pychess.org/variants/empire . The Empire against The Kingdom! Empire's pawns are replaced by Cannon Pawns. Soldiers do not promote. Cannon Pawns can promote to chess Queens only (as in Empire). Cannon Pawns move as a king OR they can hop over any adjacent piece to either land on a vacant square behind it (move) or if that landing square is occupied by an enemy piece, the cannon pawn will capture it by displacement. All else is as in Empire.

Khans MirrorX

khansmirrorx

see https://www.pychess.org/variants/khans . Khans MirrorX is between mirror two Khans armies. Gold being "black" goes second, Silver pieces move first. Unlike Khans, the Scouts can promote to more than just Khatun. Upon reaching the last rank scouts promote to: Lancer, Kheshig, Archer or Khatun. Just like Khans, you can win by checkmate or by campmate. Stalemate is a loss for the side that can't move.
