Metamorphin' Fusion Chess is a hybrid of Metamorph Chess and Fusion Chess. Simple pieces can promote to or combine into compound pieces, and compound pieces can split apart into or demote to simple pieces. The simple pieces include King, Rook, Bishop, and Knight, and the compound pieces include all two-piece combinations of these. But only non-royal pieces can promote. The King forms royal compound pieces only by combining with other pieces. The object is to checkmate your opponent's current royal piece. By combining the rules of Metamorph and Fusion Chess, this game gains the feature of letting players increase their total number of pieces. A player gains a new piece by promoting a simple piece (as in Metamorph Chess) and splitting it apart (as in Fusion Chess). This is balanced by the reverse process, which reduces your material when you combine two pieces together and make a capture with the compound piece. The board was made from computer generated textures. If you look at it closely, you will see that it combines parts of the boards for Metamorph Chess and Fusion Chess.
