Ah, if I may add another optional rule..

The Joker can indeed take out one opponent piece, but it's only the opponent's Joker.

But being that they're Jokers and not even Pawns, they're too stupid to fight, so it becomes a suicide move, eliminating both Jokers from the board at once..

What you think?

Coin flip: heads they both die, tails you flip a second coin and if heads, both go to the player who initiated the capture, tails they go to the other player.

Randomness is forbidden in Chess, it's all logical gameplay.

If anything, to address this issue, I'd assign the Joker piece right in front of the King for both sides.

just use this simple formula: {sin({cos(t)*295732})*50381} where t is the time passed since the start of the game in seconds

skilled players would just calculate this in their head and plan accordingly
