Archbishop does have that fearsome power factor IMO. It doesn't sound like it should be that strong, but it's nearly a queen strength piece. Probably the No. 1 most underestimated piece in all fairy chess.
Honestly Archbishops are not as powerful as queens, I think it's worth around 7 points. But when used effectively, and if the opponent is not careful, they could cause more damage than what it's worth.
@@isavenewspapers8890 Tho according to Dave McCooey's endgame statistics with fantasy pieces observations, the NB is closer in strength to the R than to the RN Since that's only in endgame so I guess u need to use BN early -I think it's 7,7-
I remember that i invented many bizarre chess pieces as a kid. I remember one, i just stacked two rooks on top of each other and called it a tower. I decided that it would act like a normal rook but when it was captured, only the bottom rook would die and the top rook would fall down on the square the tower was "disassembled" on and it would capture the enemy piece on it and would continue as a normal rook. Good times...
That's actually kind of an interesting idea for a fairy piece. I don't know any fairy chess sites or forums or groups or anything, but if you do, consider submitting it to them. I see some potential there.
The Ferz, Wazir, and Alfil are all historical anticedents to modern chess pieces. Actually Chinese chess has an alfil that can't go to the opponents' half of the board, and despite being hot garbage compared to a bishop it is sort of a useful piece.
I like how the rose moves, especially when it can move and end on the same square. Triple S Games usually says “You are not allowed to move a piece and end on the same square. It must stop on a different square.”.
The ferz was in old chess under the name of advisor. The Gryphon’s inverse is the manticore, moves 1 square orthogonally then moves like a bishop. The Knook has the name of the chancellor by Triple S Games on his chess videos.
I made some: Cardinal: Bishop, but it can move like a King as well, allowing for it to change the color square it can use. Rider: Pawn, but upon capture, it moves forward like a Knight. Bodysnatcher: Knight but instead of capture, it swaps with the target. This can also include an allied piece.
Piececlopedia: Dragon Horse Historical notes In Shogi, the Japanese form of Chess, the Dragon Horse is the promoted form of the Bishop, moving like a Bishop or a Wazir. In Holywar, Fergus Duniho has called this piece a Lady, in reference to Joan of Arc, the Lady of Lorraine. In the context of this game, it was a weaker version of a Queen. Although it isn't normally a royal piece, Fergus Duniho has used a royal version of the Dragon Horse in Fusion Chess and several more games based on it, such as Bedlam and Thunder Chess. In these games, it is called a Pope, and it is one of four possible royal pieces, which a player can form by merging his King with a Bishop. Movement The Dragon Horse may slide any number of spaces diagonally, or it may step one space orthogonally. Diagonal movement follows along lines of spaces connected only at their corners. Spaces are orthogonally adjacent when they share a side in common.
Plunder chess is basically the more tame version that includes the Amazon (you can capture a knight with a queen or vise-versa and plunder that ability and you can use it for one turn, allowing you to solo check the king)
Back when I was in Scouts, we had a game called “scout chess.” You played like regular chess except you could fill your entire side of the board with any pieces you wanted in any positions. Oh yeah, there was also the “Pegasus move” which let a knight capture every single opponent piece simultaneously at any time (king included). Needless to say, white always won.
I made a piece one time called the musketeer, it could move 1 space diagonally and could kill any piece horizontal or vertical of it without moving there, but after it kills it has to reload for 3 turns

Your description of the grasshopper is incorrect; that is a **locust**, not a grasshopper! A grasshopper moves by hopping over other pieces, landing on the square beyond, and it only captures pieces it lands on.
I had an idea just now for a chess piece that could move like a king but you can make it temporarily unexist for 3 turns then when it reappears any piece where it was gets took out
I had a piece concept unique to chessplus (tldr you can combine any piece except the king to combine their movement) The Parasite jumps two spaces horizontal/vertical or one space diagonal. It cannot capture. It can instead combine into an opponent (normally illegal) one space horizontal/vertical. While combined, the piece is controlled by both parties and can capture any space it can move or jump to. Only the parasite halfs owner can seperate them, and it can capture + be captured while combined by either team. It is legal to combine with the parasite voulentarily, and it does not become neutral if you own both halves. A neutral combo may capture the current players pieces in a self sacrafice. If you're into that.
Me and my friends play Anarchy Chess, you can add any or make any move as long as it isn’t gamebreaking. My favourite ones are Nuclear Submarine: if one player uses this, the other player will be asked if they also want to use it. If both players use it, it will result in a nuclear war and both players will lose. Advanced Mobility Tactics: Allows a chosen pawn to move in any direction. (Can be used more than once) Unholy Practices: Allows a chosen piece to capture a piece of it’s own color. Dizziness: by spinning your Rooks around really fast, you can make them dizzy and move like a bishop, and the vice versa for the bishops.
making new one up: Graveskeeper: can use the abilities of any piece of theirs that has been captured, as a comeback factor piece. Can't move until at least one piece is captured, but has the potential to be even more powerful than the queen by the end of the game. Midwife: can hop over pieces, and if it takes them can resurrect a pawn in the location. Spymaster: can't move directly, but can swap places with any non-king piece at any time. Basically operates as a shifting teleport waypoint that needs to be accounted for.

I think a good idea for a piece would be a protector, any friendly pieces next to it cant be taken until the protector dies. Kinda similar to how a king cant take pieces protected by another king. Its far more limited than say protecting your rook across the board with a queen tho. The protector essentially gives every other piece a king limitations. But its distance is short and its movement limited to 3 spaces at a time. Its slow but combos with other pieces for a very strong attack. It essentially acks like a second king in a late low pieces game. Keeping other peices safe while your king can still stay out of danger. The only downside is the protector cant capture other pieces, it cant protect the king or pawns either. If a piece can body gaurd your pawns and king at once early in the game you cant be checkmated at all. Tho using bishops rooks and knoghts you could possibly protect your king but at that point .....why you woudnt likwly be able to win either and the protector could be beaten by knights easily. It go over any defenses. Another interesting piece would be an archer. It captures from range and cant kill anything in a circle shaped space area around it. However it doesnt need to move to capture. It needs to stay away from danger but at range it has less space until very late to actually stay away. If it survives its a decent piece. But it is kinda like a weaker queen. It has clear limitations but can still be very useful as it doesn't need to put itself in danger to take a piece.
Since I’m still a Kid (15) I’d say the First is the Guard: Only Moves along the Borders of the Board, but can Move an Infinite Amount Meaning he can Snap from One Corner to the Next (Unless he encounters a Piece that would be Captured Instead) Update: Second would be a Play on what I Sometimes call the Horse/Knight (being *Frog*) It can Move to One of the 8 Squares Surrounding any Piece And that’s it, no other Method of Movement or Capturing
I remember when i was 7 i tried inventing chess pieces by drawing them and i think i remember an "Archer" which could move like a pawn and instead of eating pieces like normal, it could eat stuff without moving in the range of a bishop.
I thought of this piece called the poisoner that basically makes it that it can't attack a piece until it's targeted it and then the next turn it can be killed
Gonna give my opinions on all the pieces covered. Amazon (1): Pretty OP against a normal king, it covers a 5X5 square radius or 3-tile diamond radius around it, athe queen also has to maneuver around other pieces and has to put some effort into checking the enamy king, and it xant do it alone since the king can just kill the queen without protection, but the amazon can just jump around and it's covering radius is enlargened enough by the knight movement to be ale to checkmate the enamy king at a distance he can't escape from. Knook and ArchBishop (2): both very solid, the Knight movement in the knook covers the rooks biggest weakness of its own camaraderie blocking its path and also makes it unable tk be forked by unprotected knights while the archbishop also removes the bishops biggest weakness if being unable to switch colour, both are very solid and more balanced than the amazon due to neither covering a 5X5 radius. KnightRider (3): Given I like the Knight for its jumpy L's, giving the simple ability to be able to keep jumping in the same direction allows it to just sneakily jump around to try and pull off a sneaky move, thoughnon very big boards it can straight up check the king out of nowhere with chain jumps so if playing on a bigger board I'd suggest for it to be so the rider can only capture on the 1st and 2nd jumps, possibly the 3rd but it depends on the board size. Ferz, Wazir, and Mann (5): To believe the Ferz was the old queen is gut wrenching, they can be ok pawn represent but are otherwise useless, if thy had unique conditional abilities to make up for their lack of movement it would be fine, thought he Mann can be somewhat decent for scaring away pieces on rare occasions. Short rook (5): idk what to say about this one, might make for an interesting setup on a longer board but it's just kinda meh,mif it could promote to a rook under certain conditions then that would be cool. Roship and Biok (6): these are pretty funny as hell and weird to calculate but also make cool use of the concept of pieces being able to move but not capture on some spaces, but capture though not move normally on other spaces that isn't explored in any other vanilla chess piece aside from the pawn. Individually the Roship would probably be a better sniper than bishops since it would just slide around like a bishop till it suddenly pulls out a holy rifle, and the Biok (which I believe is pronounced Bih-uk) just diagonally tap dances like a bishop till it Rook-Kart style runs over an enamy, both have the positioning advantage/disadvantage of one of their pieces making their attack easier/harder to utilize sk I honestly think these are some of the best Faerie pieces. Gryphon(7): its split rook movement is pretty neat, and it can just move 1 square diagonally which would make it a bit more aggressive than the rook since it requires less effort tk get out since you can just move 1 pawn then move the Gryphon once diagonally before suddenly covering 2 long V's. Gonna cover the rest in a other comment for the sake of not making this one too beefy
Here’s an idea: The Trickster. It can move to any space on the board and take any piece on that space, even those of its own colour, except for the king or another trickster. However, once it has been moved, it switches to the opponents colour.
Anti-chess is a real thing (you can play it on Lichess). The rules are exactly like regular chess except: * Castling, check, and checkmate are eliminated. The King is "just" a regular piece that moves one square, and can be captured like any other. In other words, the King is a Man (2:00). * Capturing is mandatory when possible (you can choose which capture to play, if more than one capture is available). * You win when you don't have any pieces left. Hilariously, 1. e4 is a forced win for Black.
Holy hell! I love these pieces so much. The ICBM in particular is one I've been using myself since I was a kid, because I thought the bishops looked like missiles.
I would like to make a civ based chess with fairy pieces. For example, a civ that has only short rooks instead of rooks but all the pawns are that rook that can move only one straight slot at a time, etc.
I made one: The Clock The Clock can move to any _empty_ square of the same colour as it is already on (meaning no captures from across the board) BUT also can move/capture like a King would
Rifle Chess At an evening in December 1996, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Bennekomse Schaak Vereniging (the chess club of Bennekom, a village in the Netherlands; I was a member of this chess club for many years), several chess variants were played. One of these variants (and one traditional chess players were bewildered of most) was Rifle Chess. Rifle Chess, also called Shoot chess, or Shooting chess, was, according to Pritchard's Encyclopedia of Chess Variants, invented in 1921 by W. B. Seabrook, who was inspired by modern warfare tactics, where, unless in ancient warfare, where a close combat was necessary to kill an enemy, now the striker can kill at a distance. The game has been played since then at many occasions. Rules The rules of orthodox chess are followed, with the following exceptions. Pieces no longer take by moving to the square that is occupied by the piece they want to take. Instead, when taking, the piece that takes does not change location. Effectively, this means that when one could take a piece under the traditional chess rules, one can remove the opponents piece but no of ones pieces is moved. One can always take at most one piece per turn. Pritchard states, that one often uses the rule that taking is obligatory, although when more choices are available for taking, one can choose which capture to make. Comments This simple rule change changes the game a lot. For instance, it is of no use to guard pieces. Written by: Hans Bodlaender.
my minor chess piece idea: rifleman the rifleman is slow, but defensive and powerful. it can "capture" pieces like a queen, but you have to rotate the rifleman to shoot in the direction you want, and this does not move the rifleman. it also moves like a king. i dont know if i like it more if it should be able to shoot anywhere it can see/not blocked, or just shoot like a queen. and should the rifleman be able to shoot and rotate in the same turn, or allow rotating and shooting to be done in a turn where other chess pieces also move including itself, but rotating and shooting cant be done together.
Concept: Mercenary They are neutral and at the middle of the chees board, There are 4 mercenary pieces in total. You cannot attack the piece, and the only way to obtain it is by having 50% winrate or lower. It moves like a knight and pawn and if you lose 2 mercenary pieces, the last mercenary piece will join the enemy team and if you don't develop them. To not get spawncamped, the mercenary pieces when obtained, automatically teleports at 5c,5d,5e,5f.
I made one but it ain't got a name yet: It only move the direction it can attack, no pieces available to attack means no movement, it moves like a queen too, but it can only jump over pieces of yours when they are in danger. An En passant will allow it to move like a queen on your very next turn. You don't start with it, to get it, En passant must happen (anywhere), then a queen trade (anywhere) right after. And if you're playing duck chess too, the duck must then get in the way of a potential king capture (any side, anywhere) right after. Its spawns on the closest opponent pawn to your king, capturing it.
I remember inventing a gimmick in chess when i was a kid. So basically u can combine two pieces that are adjacent and that has the power of both pieces combined. But the drawback was that u cannot move that piece two times in a row and the fusion takes 1 turn. Good times...
I made some pieces Follower : moves like what opponent moved last En passanter : moves like a queen, captures by going one of the squares that the opponent moved through last move(so en passants everything but can only en passant) Unit : has the combined movements of the king and all (m, n) leapers when m and n are relatively prime
My idea: The Jester It can move in the way you want for any piece. Like: If you want it to move as a Rook, you can. If you want it to move as a Bishop, you can. Same with Knights, Kings and Queens. But. The twist is: It is removed from the board if there's a single enemy piece 1 space close to him. So basically. It's used as to sacrifice.
imagine if someone just makes a piece that's literally just how you play checkers called "Wheel", "Cart", and "Train" Wheel is the normal checkers piece, Cart is the king piece, and Train is if you fused the king piece with a bishop
Idea: the executor, they can withstand one hit and which piece lands on it besides of the king will be tooken away. Would be powerfull if it lasts to the end game.
Damn bro I can't believe Chess has DLCs now, next we are gonna have Chess microtransactions, can't wait for Chess to become a gacha game with wai- Wait that's just the Fire Emblem gacha game, lol.
No The rose can be described as a circular nightrider. More specifically, the rose makes a series of continuous knight moves, except that unlike the nightrider, which continues in the same direction, the rose must make a 45 degree turn with each leap. Like the knight, it can jump over intervening pieces, and like the knightrider, each square it actually comes into contact with must be empty. If the path if unblocked, it is legal for a rose to travel in a complete circle and end its turn on the same square as it started from.

Meaning he can Snap from One Corner to the Next (Unless he encounters a Piece that would be Captured Instead)
Update: Second would be a Play on what I Sometimes call the Horse/Knight (being *Frog*)
It can Move to One of the 8 Squares Surrounding any Piece
And that’s it, no other Method of Movement or Capturing
I remember when i was 7 i tried inventing chess pieces by drawing them and i think i remember an "Archer" which could move like a pawn and instead of eating pieces like normal, it could eat stuff without moving in the range of a bishop.
All i can think about is some fairies playing this together in wonderland and your just watching trying to figure wtf all the pieces do
I thought of this piece called the poisoner that basically makes it that it can't attack a piece until it's targeted it and then the next turn it can be killed
Great video. You need more subs.
i love duck lol 5:11
hello! tis always nice to find more people in this space
Gonna give my opinions on all the pieces covered.
Amazon (1): Pretty OP against a normal king, it covers a 5X5 square radius or 3-tile diamond radius around it, athe queen also has to maneuver around other pieces and has to put some effort into checking the enamy king, and it xant do it alone since the king can just kill the queen without protection, but the amazon can just jump around and it's covering radius is enlargened enough by the knight movement to be ale to checkmate the enamy king at a distance he can't escape from.
Knook and ArchBishop (2): both very solid, the Knight movement in the knook covers the rooks biggest weakness of its own camaraderie blocking its path and also makes it unable tk be forked by unprotected knights while the archbishop also removes the bishops biggest weakness if being unable to switch colour, both are very solid and more balanced than the amazon due to neither covering a 5X5 radius.
KnightRider (3): Given I like the Knight for its jumpy L's, giving the simple ability to be able to keep jumping in the same direction allows it to just sneakily jump around to try and pull off a sneaky move, thoughnon very big boards it can straight up check the king out of nowhere with chain jumps so if playing on a bigger board I'd suggest for it to be so the rider can only capture on the 1st and 2nd jumps, possibly the 3rd but it depends on the board size.
Ferz, Wazir, and Mann (5): To believe the Ferz was the old queen is gut wrenching, they can be ok pawn represent but are otherwise useless, if thy had unique conditional abilities to make up for their lack of movement it would be fine, thought he Mann can be somewhat decent for scaring away pieces on rare occasions.
Short rook (5): idk what to say about this one, might make for an interesting setup on a longer board but it's just kinda meh,mif it could promote to a rook under certain conditions then that would be cool.
Roship and Biok (6): these are pretty funny as hell and weird to calculate but also make cool use of the concept of pieces being able to move but not capture on some spaces, but capture though not move normally on other spaces that isn't explored in any other vanilla chess piece aside from the pawn. Individually the Roship would probably be a better sniper than bishops since it would just slide around like a bishop till it suddenly pulls out a holy rifle, and the Biok (which I believe is pronounced Bih-uk) just diagonally tap dances like a bishop till it Rook-Kart style runs over an enamy, both have the positioning advantage/disadvantage of one of their pieces making their attack easier/harder to utilize sk I honestly think these are some of the best Faerie pieces.
Gryphon(7): its split rook movement is pretty neat, and it can just move 1 square diagonally which would make it a bit more aggressive than the rook since it requires less effort tk get out since you can just move 1 pawn then move the Gryphon once diagonally before suddenly covering 2 long V's.
Gonna cover the rest in a other comment for the sake of not making this one too beefy
Roshop
6:31 Okay, the Capricorn should be renamed to ICBM, short for Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, a popular meme opening (fyi).
The first thing I would add to chess would be intercontinental ballistic missiles.
*Grasshopper* Moves queenwise over one piece to the first cell beyond, capturing any enemy piece on that cell. [Dutch sprinkhaan, French sauterelle, Spanish saltamonte] [T. R. Dawson Cheltenham Examiner 3 July 1913.] èT.R.Dawson pages, Grasshopper chess
*LOCUST* Any piece that captures by hopping over its victim. Draughtsmen and draughtskings are thus locusts. The original "locust" was a saurian grasshopper-locust, i.e. it had no travel move but moved only to capture by a grasshop over the victim.
4:31
Therefore that's neither Grasshopper or the original "Locust", but a
*Grasshopper-locust* Moves like a grasshopper but only to vacant cells, if its hurdle is an adverse man, the hurdle is captured.
Grasshopper-locust is mentioned in "A Guide to Variant Chess: All the King's Men
© George Jelliss 2002 (revised May 2002)."
"Redesigning Chess" is probably one of my favorite TH-cam video genres
0:21 I suppose that would be more accurately described as a yoink-I-took-your-cover-away mate.
I had a whole thing written for this comment but it gave off major 🤓 vibes so I decided against it
i thought the queen could move like a knight until i looked it up
funnt video, and also a like for casual Moonsetter
Idea: unicorn
Moves exactly like a Knight, but captures anything it jumps over.
Here’s an idea:
The Trickster. It can move to any space on the board and take any piece on that space, even those of its own colour, except for the king or another trickster. However, once it has been moved, it switches to the opponents colour.
The anti-chess, the piece that moves like in checkers.
That would be amazing.
Anti-chess is a real thing (you can play it on Lichess). The rules are exactly like regular chess except:
* Castling, check, and checkmate are eliminated. The King is "just" a regular piece that moves one square, and can be captured like any other. In other words, the King is a Man (2:00).
* Capturing is mandatory when possible (you can choose which capture to play, if more than one capture is available).
* You win when you don't have any pieces left.
Hilariously, 1. e4 is a forced win for Black.
Holy hell! I love these pieces so much. The ICBM in particular is one I've been using myself since I was a kid, because I thought the bishops looked like missiles.
I would like to make a civ based chess with fairy pieces. For example, a civ that has only short rooks instead of rooks but all the pawns are that rook that can move only one straight slot at a time, etc.
I made one: The Clock
The Clock can move to any _empty_ square of the same colour as it is already on (meaning no captures from across the board) BUT also can move/capture like a King would
i came up with the pawngun. literally it moves like a pawn, but can capture anything nearby it without moving to it, like its shooting a bullet at it
Rifle Chess
At an evening in December 1996, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Bennekomse Schaak Vereniging (the chess club of Bennekom, a village in the Netherlands; I was a member of this chess club for many years), several chess variants were played. One of these variants (and one traditional chess players were bewildered of most) was Rifle Chess.
Rifle Chess, also called Shoot chess, or Shooting chess, was, according to Pritchard's Encyclopedia of Chess Variants, invented in 1921 by W. B. Seabrook, who was inspired by modern warfare tactics, where, unless in ancient warfare, where a close combat was necessary to kill an enemy, now the striker can kill at a distance. The game has been played since then at many occasions.
Rules
The rules of orthodox chess are followed, with the following exceptions.
Pieces no longer take by moving to the square that is occupied by the piece they want to take. Instead, when taking, the piece that takes does not change location. Effectively, this means that when one could take a piece under the traditional chess rules, one can remove the opponents piece but no of ones pieces is moved. One can always take at most one piece per turn.
Pritchard states, that one often uses the rule that taking is obligatory, although when more choices are available for taking, one can choose which capture to make.
Comments
This simple rule change changes the game a lot. For instance, it is of no use to guard pieces.
Written by: Hans Bodlaender.
I made one:
Archer: Moves only in its own collumn any squares it likes, also jumps over pieces, so you can literally just take first turn
Checkmate in zero
0:40 I've never been flashbanged by a memory before
now we can actually do the tennison gambit icbm gambit
the homestuck music hit me like a bullet
Damn, you too?
oats jenkins pieces
my minor chess piece idea: rifleman
the rifleman is slow, but defensive and powerful. it can "capture" pieces like a queen, but you have to rotate the rifleman to shoot in the direction you want, and this does not move the rifleman. it also moves like a king.
i dont know if i like it more if it should be able to shoot anywhere it can see/not blocked, or just shoot like a queen. and should the rifleman be able to shoot and rotate in the same turn, or allow rotating and shooting to be done in a turn where other chess pieces also move including itself, but rotating and shooting cant be done together.
Concept: Mercenary
They are neutral and at the middle of the chees board, There are 4 mercenary pieces in total. You cannot attack the piece, and the only way to obtain it is by having 50% winrate or lower. It moves like a knight and pawn and if you lose 2 mercenary pieces, the last mercenary piece will join the enemy team and if you don't develop them. To not get spawncamped, the mercenary pieces when obtained, automatically teleports at 5c,5d,5e,5f.
trojan horse: a knight that when captured spawns 2 pawns that are positioned in a way to take the piece that just took the trojan
Imagine Magnus playing with this mode online, and the moment he captures Trojan an actual Trojan virus stops the game.
I made one but it ain't got a name yet:
It only move the direction it can attack, no pieces available to attack means no movement, it moves like a queen too, but it can only jump over pieces of yours when they are in danger.
An En passant will allow it to move like a queen on your very next turn.
You don't start with it, to get it, En passant must happen (anywhere), then a queen trade (anywhere) right after. And if you're playing duck chess too, the duck must then get in the way of a potential king capture (any side, anywhere) right after. Its spawns on the closest opponent pawn to your king, capturing it.
bro just roasted every checkers piece💀
Here's an Idea:
The pyramid: this guy moves like a queen but if he captured a piece it can spawn another pyramid
I remember inventing a gimmick in chess when i was a kid. So basically u can combine two pieces that are adjacent and that has the power of both pieces combined. But the drawback was that u cannot move that piece two times in a row and the fusion takes 1 turn. Good times...
Almost Chess Evolved Online, good vid
I've seen this cool one that moves like a queen and captures like a knight
Making a new piece:
The archer
The archer can move diagonally and forward and back for 4 pieces, and it can jump over pieces.
1:17 the "nook" is also called a chancellor
I made some pieces
Follower : moves like what opponent moved last
En passanter : moves like a queen, captures by going one of the squares that the opponent moved through last move(so en passants everything but can only en passant)
Unit : has the combined movements of the king and all (m, n) leapers when m and n are relatively prime
I invented a chess piece once, is called the Breadbug (like the Pikmin creature) it can drag pieces back, like a Breadbug
My idea:
The Jester
It can move in the way you want for any piece.
Like: If you want it to move as a Rook, you can. If you want it to move as a Bishop, you can. Same with Knights, Kings and Queens.
But. The twist is:
It is removed from the board if there's a single enemy piece 1 space close to him.
So basically. It's used as to sacrifice.
2:52 wait but that's me
My idea: add a gun
Like the canon from chinese chess
Just a rook but it needs a piece in front of it to capture
"Oh a Chess puzzle. Easy en- wait what are these pieces."
-Random guy brought here by TH-cam's crappy recommendations.
Imagine chess with fairy pieces with berolina pawns infront and the board sized accordingly.
We don't need dlc, we want chess 2
wdym we already have chess 3
Dude you qre such a G for using the zombies "end of round" sound ❤
imagine if someone just makes a piece that's literally just how you play checkers called "Wheel", "Cart", and "Train"
Wheel is the normal checkers piece, Cart is the king piece, and Train is if you fused the king piece with a bishop
the knight derived from the elephant
Idea: the executor, they can withstand one hit and which piece lands on it besides of the king will be tooken away. Would be powerfull if it lasts to the end game.
Look up Golem Chess by Peter Aronson and Ben Good
the firs is just the advisor in chinese chess tbh
How do you have so few subs your videos are amazing
I know nothing about chess, decided to watch anyways and then when Moonsetter started playing i realized why TH-cam recommended this to me
The exicutoinor is two rooks slapped together but dies after 7 turns
2:33 why isnt it called the bishook or something?, it sounds way nicer than biok
Fairy Pieces
Where Chess meets Team Building
Damn bro I can't believe Chess has DLCs now, next we are gonna have Chess microtransactions, can't wait for Chess to become a gacha game with wai- Wait that's just the Fire Emblem gacha game, lol.
were gonna have armor for the knight
Wait until chess is pay to win
the homestuck music sent me for a loop i can’t escape
Isn't the rose just a knightrider? You said the rider goes like a knight but can continue further on
No
The rose can be described as a circular nightrider. More specifically, the rose makes a series of continuous knight moves, except that unlike the nightrider, which continues in the same direction, the rose must make a 45 degree turn with each leap. Like the knight, it can jump over intervening pieces, and like the knightrider, each square it actually comes into contact with must be empty.
If the path if unblocked, it is legal for a rose to travel in a complete circle and end its turn on the same square as it started from.
Rose moves in a circular manner, Nightrider moves in a straight line
I created this piece called the Troubadour, which can move twice in any directions
1:55 im offended. Furs is nott pronounced "foo-rz" its "fors"
