(I kept it under a half an hour!!!)
Making the case for some ideas I'd like to implement in an upcoming revision of Veney. Here's the the short version:
CHESS IS MADE UP. Rules are made up. You can do whatever you want.
Ahem; It's a bit strange, I think, that there seems to be no commonly accepted fairy chess piece like the Ruin insofar as it combines its two main qualities of movement and capture. I don't think I'm a genius for coming up with it. I'm sure I'm not even the first to do it, it just hasn't stuck.
The Ruin moves to any open square, and cannot capture or be captured. That's it. In veney, there is more to be said about it, but that's because veney is overcomplicated. In a game of chess, those are the only qualities of the piece.
