Even More New Chess Pieces!

Me normally when you play chess: "I have no idea what you're doing."
Me when you play variants: "you have no idea what you're doing."

Playing 1500-rated Blitz when you don't know how the pieces move is not the easiest thing ever.

"knights are terrible because the board is so open."
Well, only compared to sliders for that reason. They also need 4 developing moves to reach the opponent's half of the board, though, which IMO is a much bigger weakness. They are too slow to be useful offensively. That's why the camel, despite being colorbound, is arguably better than the knight at large board size even if it's decidedly worse on 8x8.

"bishops are way more valuable than knights."
Yes. If there are 36 pieces remaining on the board (basically assuming a few (20) captures have taken place), the average mobility of a bishop is 10.19 vs a knights' 6.37. On the standard board with a similar fraction of pieces captured, those numbers are 5.91 and 2.25.
The Amazon has an utterly bonkers 29.4 average mobility.

An Amazon for a rook and camel is definitely not a good trade lol.

"Oh no my pawn"
No. Oh no their Amazon. Your camel could've recaptured. That was a catastrophic blunder for them.

I kinda like making there be multiple royal pieces with weak powers of movement in variants. Like, howabout you get a royal Wazir and Ferz?

"oh no your queen"
That was an even trade. Their camel was defending it.

Someone should run a game analysis on this.
Obviously the analysis feature for variants like this should just have Baka Mitai playing in the background.

This is the largest chess battle field I've ever seen...

Confusing mode on

me personally I always like to start with Chancellor-l3, if they take a passive move instead of pushing their l pawn one square, you get the l pawn followed by the rook, people like to see pieces in this game as very expendable so they ignore the chancellor until it's pinning the general while the archbishop cuts off the escape route being on n6 as the amazon crashes down onto j13. classic checkmate.

btw the "Quite" is actually called The Amazon, but I like quite better lol

These new pieces are just the knight mixed with a random piece

It's a nice variant, but imho the main issue is that the bigger the board the emptier it gets in proportion. So it feels like a cool but exaggerated concept. I would be really curious to see what would happen "simply" on a 9x9 board, where maybe the "knight+queen" piece is balanced by the fact that it can't capture pawns (call it the hero or paladin idk, the idea is that the piece is too pure to kill civilians lol)

that's like more than five pieces

How to play those

Today so far in summary enjoy the rest of 16th of Ramadan

you missed the perfect opportunity to call it the night king (got)

That ending when he blunderd 3-4 pieces to one knite was so hard to watch…

Fun to see you blundering crazily while also being awesome at chess as usual

Oh no my Quight!

WTH

the bishop knight can be pegasus

Me watching him miss mate in one multiple times in a row

These new pieces have boring uninspired design.
There are too many animal shaped pieces.

Why didn't you castle camel side?

we can still have more pieces
Camel + knight = hippo
Camel + queen = zebra
Camel + bishop = panda
Camel + rook = dolphin
Camel + king = lieutenant
Camel + general(that’s the knight + king) = commander
Camel + archbishop(that’s the knight + bishop) = pope
Camel + chancellor(that’s the knight + rook)= wizard
Camel + amazon(that’s the knight + queen)= Valkyrie

The camel is a (1,3) leaper, which moves 1 square horizontally and 3 vertically or vice versa, not really powerful since it is color bounded

The knight with a king's crown is usually called knighted king or crowned knight, both represent a king + knight compound.

The knight with bishop feet is called a princess, cardinal, or archbishop and I believe they're more names for it, it moves like a bishop or a knight.

The knight with rook feet is called empress, chancellor, knook or a marshal, it moves like a knight or a rook.

The knight with queen's crown is usually called amazon, it moves like a queen or a knight, so it can mimic all moves except en passant and castling. An interesting fact is that it competed with queen for being on the standard chess set, but eventually lose since it's so powerful

Queen+Knight = Amazon

King vs king with bishop and camal !!!

bro that is fairy tale chess and the stroges peis is the amozon.😍😍😍😍

I just played kight to H8

How do u make these custome pieces

Thats look like a modern version of Tamerlane chess. It also have camel and have same movements

Amazon (knight + queen) is the opest piece

knights......

First time I saw all the moves before an IM did :D

the "quite" is actually called the "amazon"
