Introducing variants with only one Cannon.
Introducing 'en passant' for relocated pawns.
 
In Swedish Cannon Chess the rules are the same as in orthodox chess, except that two Swedish Cannons per player are placed in the reserve. After having jumped any piece, the Swedish cannon can slide and capture like a rook. However, if no jump move exists it's allowable to slide like a rook, but without capturing. The Swedish Cannon has about the same value as a bishop (preliminary estimate).

Players may either move a piece or pawn, or drop a Cannon from the reserve. Cannons may only be dropped on a friendly pawn on the second rank. The removed friendly pawn must immediately be relocated two squares ahead of the dropped piece. This position, and the position in between, must be empty. If not, the piece cannot be dropped on the friendly pawn. Should a player refrain from inserting his extra pieces at these occasions, then he has forfeited his chance of introducing them. Note that pieces and pawns are allowed to move before both Cannons have been dropped. Note also that you are allowed to make a pawn-relocation if in check, if the pawn-relocation covers the check.
