I think it's supposed to be cannon, it has the merida cannon sprite from shogun chess. It moves like a chancellor (rook+knight) in shogun variant. It has the symbol 'M' because the symbol 'C' is reserved for the archbishop (bishop+knight) piece.
The game was draw by Threefold Repetition.....if a situation is repeated thrice, it's a draw....no matter how many moves you play in between....if each and every piece is at the same position thrice, it's a draw, and you basically got checked on that g6 square by the piece on d5 three times so that's a draw.

Chinese chess is a simpler game than Indian chess, but it is still very much a game enjoyed around the far East. Sorry to ruin your (@dsshy8792) over generalisation.
I believe this piece is called Munchkin. It moves everywhere causing havoc and takes everything it wants and is really hard to take (often requiring multiple people, warriors for preference). And it is notated with the latter 'M' as you can clearly see from the move history.
I see a lot of people suggesting Mortar. However there already seems to be a piece by this name it is signified by an upside down knight. The Mortar moves like a knight, but cannot capture this way. In order to capture it makes an orthogonal cannon capture-jump. It jumps over any piece and lands, like a cannonball, on the enemy piece farther back, provided that any intermediate squares are empty. The Mortar's value is 3, that is, the same as a bishop
An Amazon that is riding a Camel, very OP piece. Extremely difficult to take her down, takes the entire Kingdom! A few names I came up with: Amazonian Queen, Dragon Amazon, Wonder Woman, Terminator.
This brings to mind an idea for a chess variant I have: one player controls both black and white, while the other controls a single red pawn. The catch is that this single red pawn is allowed to do basically anything it wants (which is why I'll call it the "deity" from here on out). The deity is a solo piece, independent from both black and white, and can be captured by either one. Black pieces are also allowed to capture white pieces, and vice versa, despite being controlled by the same player, however a piece cannot capture a piece of its own colour. The aim of the game for black/white is to capture the deity piece, while the aim for the deity piece is to avoid being captured long enough to force a draw or resignation, or to capture all of the black and white pieces, in which case the deity wins.
A piece that can move anywhere on the board on its turn seems pretty unbeatable, it just gobbles up the the the rooks and then knights if possible, im assuming the red pawn can't check the king and just has the ability to move to any square and capture an peice that isnt the king. Als othe turn order is white/black/red/white/black/red?
@@dirtymen1415 no chat gpt can move diagonally over other pieces, and also it basically can teleport something out of nowhere, and it has the power of reversing the colour of a piece.
I think we should call it the Schwerer Gustav 4.8t 800cal. Artillery Weapon. It it the strongest piece on the board, but some well placed pieces, and a strong piece of your own (Give your queen some thermite just to be sure), and you can take it down easily
I think the strategy in this variant is just leave a protected pawn on e6 to prevent all Camel-mates and then push the pawns and pieces on the Queen side to promote and get more queens. Seems easy once you protect d5 and f5 correctly
here's a very stupid idea: new piece (maybe called the joker) can go to ANY square on the board except the one with the king. as such it can never check or mate the king. white is provided with a joker and one pawn it must use to checkmate, black has a normal assortment of pieces.
@TheDoubleAgent the pawn mate thing doesn't work because the joker isn't threatening anything. if the king moves the square it is now on is unreachable by the joker so there's no threat.
It's honestly completely insane how effective that piece is. I thought it'd be an easy win. I wonder what the stockfish evaluation would be at the start of the game?
Stockfish would probably say that black is completely winning but for the humans its obviously tricky to win against such a powerful piece which is evaluated even as approximately 16 points, that’s 7 points more than the Queen
Could call it the "Mansa" (ruler of the Mali Empire) in reference to Mansa Musa, who on Hajj to Mecca was so generous to the people he passed that he accidentally wrecked their economies. (The piece is a Maharajah+Camel, so I thought of him. Also, "Mansa" starts with M :P )
I note the rook on a8 is undefended and can be won by force; for example 1. Zd3 (I'll use the letter Z for the new piece) e6 (Forced, else 2. Zd5# or 2. Zf5#) 2. Zb5 and the rook is trapped. Interestingly, however, Black has 2...Nc6! and if 3. Zxa8 a6! wins immediately, as the piece is trapped. If the piece is forced to move, it will be trapped next move regardless of which move it makes. If the piece is allowed to pass, i.e. not make a move, Black can walk his knight from g8 to b6 to trap it. Or can White claim this is a stalemate?? So if there are no Black pieces that can be captured, it should be possible to slowly take over the entire board until every square is covered. This should be easy by pushing the h-pawn and promoting it. If pawn promotions aren't allowed, just focus on taking over one square at a time and making sure no pieces are hanging.
Chinese chess(xiangqi) has a canon, it does something completely different though. It moves like a rook but can only capture by jumping over a piece anywhere in the line of attack, they can even capture right at the start of the game. That could be a really fun piece to try in chess.
Friendly reminder that this thing is the Chess equivalent of going to war, seeing the opposing army is literally just one dude, and still only being able to win by using an A.I that is literally the perfect strategist
Reminds me of the flying knight. Black has a full set of pieces and pawns, and White just has a knight on g1, but White gets two moves every turn. White is winning, but if the knight is on b1, White has mate on the first move.
This is actually fairly simple to beat as a human but your opening sequence needs to be specific you need to respond with e6 no matter what as the first move and it usually goes for b5 to capture your rook respond with c6 (If the rook gets capture you can trap the piece) and finally you do d6 (almsotn o matter what). Then your objective is to get your rooks and queen infront of your pawns (without dropping any material) then you just slowly but surely push your pawns while attempting to defend every single one and squish the piece into a corner.
After a lot of thinking I once thought of a new piece I call the bureaucrat. It can only move one square at a time in any direction, it can't capture anything and it can't be captured, all it does is get in the way of everything.
There is a piece in chinese chess called the cannon that moves like a rook and attacks like a rook exept there has to be a piece inbetween the cannon and the attack reciever
Fun Fact : for fun i did some counting on how many squares it could see if it was in the middle of the board. it was 44 out of 64 squares, 43 if you don't count where the piece is standing and by doing some quick maths it sees at least 68% of the board if its in the middle.
Can you win against 2 of these with double the pieces and 2 kings. If one king dies you don't loose. You could make it harder ba making it so that your turn ratio decreases with less kings.

I thought you just had to play e6, make sure everything is defended, and then you promote your pawns to queens and simply trap the "cannon" like that.
But one thing I noticed is that there was no promotion in fairy stockfish game. Is promotion not allowed?
I note the rook on a8 is undefended and can be won by force; for example 1. Zd3 (I'll use the letter Z for the new piece) e6 (Forced, else 2. Zd5# or 2. Zf5#) 2. Zb5 and the rook is trapped. Interestingly, however, Black has 2...Nc6! and if 3. Zxa8 a6! wins immediately, as the piece is trapped. If the piece is forced to move, it will be trapped next move regardless of which move it makes. If the piece is allowed to pass, i.e. not make a move, Black can walk his knight from g8 to b6 to trap it. Or can White claim this is a stalemate??
So if there are no Black pieces that can be captured, it should be possible to slowly take over the entire board until every square is covered. This should be easy by pushing the h-pawn and promoting it. If pawn promotions aren't allowed, just focus on taking over one square at a time and making sure no pieces are hanging.
