Dragonfly (chess variant)

Dragonfly (also known as Shuttle Chess or Bird Chess) is a chess variant invented by Christian Freeling in 1983. There are no queens, and a captured bishop, knight, or rook becomes the property of the capturer, who may play it as his own on a turn to any open square. The board is 7×7 squares, or alternatively a 61-cell hexagon with two additional pawns per side.
The game is an offshoot and simplification of a Freeling game named "Loonybird" (or "Dragon Chess"). Still, "Play is complex and interesting. Draws are rare too." 
Game rules.
The standard rules of chess apply, including winning by checkmate. But Dragonfly follows these special rules:
Dragonfly hex.
Dragonfly on the hex board is played the same as Dragonfly 7×7, except that pieces move and capture as in Gliński's hexagonal chess (with the exceptions that pawns have no initial double-step option, and castling is permitted).
