Princess moves like a queen but only forward, like a pawn.

So..forward or diagonal but not sideways or backward? Interesting, does she take a crown at the end?

I think side ways is OK. No backwards.

Haven't thought it through too much, promotion would have to be play tested.

I like this idea, think if we can already have the king switch with the rook, maybe a similar mechanic with the princess sort of summoning the queen to blast everyone or vice versa
