Khan chess variants with the Khan element have two special pawns.

The Subedei pawns. (2 of 8 pawns)

The Subedei pawns: two pawns are given a distinguishing characteristic (using for example a rubber band or hair band in a nice color). These pieces can move and capture as the other pawns but can also capture backwards.

Bishops

Bishops can still only move diagonal. However, due to the free choice of placing your pieces anywhere on the board it is possible to have two white bishops. You can also choose to have two black bishops. One white and one black is also still allowed. It all depends on your strategy!

The King

The king now has the ability to get across and become Khan. By doing this you win the game. The king can’t stand in a check position when standing on the last line.

King's Landing

Just the placement of the King on your Chess Board. To read some more about King's Landing.
