Janus Chess is played on a 10x8 board with additional pieces called "Janus" or knight-bishops. The Janus combines the moves of both the knight and the bishop, making it an extremely powerful piece. This chess variant introduces new layers of strategy due to the expanded board and new pieces, requiring a reevaluation of traditional chess principles.
