Sheldon's Wizard Chess
Based on Sheldon's Wizard Chess idea from Young Sheldon, Season 2, Episode 2, “A Rival Prodigy and Sir Isaac Neutron.” The Wizard can switch places with another piece, which creates the loophole Paige points out with escaping checkmate.

Place:
Click squares to place pieces. Custom edited positions start with no castling or
en-passant rights because those cannot be inferred safely from a diagram.
Click your Wizard, then click an allowed occupied square to switch places.
The two pieces trade squares; the switch itself does not capture anything.
A legal move must leave your own King safe. Checkmate means the side to move is
in check and has no legal normal move and no legal Wizard switch.
Each Wizard starts on d3/d6, one square in front of its d-pawn.
