A Freaky Friday piece that can swap with a non-king or pawn piece of the same color still on the board, as long as neither can be captured or can take another piece before or immediately following the swap. Moves and captures like a king.

Interesting... This would be a great way to train newbies to look for weak points.

Yeah, I also thinks it helps as a training piece because it forces players to think past the next move. There's virtually no move of opportunity that you can make with it. If you're going to use it all, you need to think a minimum of two moves ahead.
