- Sorry for the text, it is a bit fast. The designs for the fairy pieces are outdated and they redesigned it recently. I personally like the newer design more but it will take some time to get used to. If you have any video idea suggestions about chess or fairy chess and fairy pieces, feel free to reply to this comment.

Please consider liking and subbing as there is no downside and it would help me a lot. However, it is 100% your choice.
Thanks for watching, stay safe, and have a great day!
And remember, name the fairy pieces correctly!!!
Your text goes away too fast so i had to make the speed 0.5 just to actually read it rather than replaying it
@@iexist8187 yeah Ik I changed it in later vids
There is more pieces but maybe later.
...
The dragon knight can switch places with its own teammate's square space and when a piece eats the dragon knight the piece will be ignited by the dragon because obviously eating a dragon would literally mean ur eating a pebble of coal I cased within has a burning fire inside 😅
Ironically, the ‘dragon knight’ is less powerful than a normal knight as it can be blocked. Btw, I just came up with these names and it’s called that because it had the dragon scales on the back. You can check out my other video where I explain the movement of this piece: ruclips.net/video/FceEw01UUpk/видео.html

The Chinese Knight (As you said the Dragon Knight) moves like a Knight but can't jump over a piece.
made in china indeed
It can't jump over a piece based on which L direction? If one of them is clear can it do the move?
It moves one square orthogonally, then one square diagonally outward.
Most these pieces work on bigger boards. Tamarlane chess is a good way to use them. It is also a chess variant where queens suck so other pieces are cooler.
the turtle is litterally a minecraft helmet
The text is too fast I need to pause everytime
Here are name & practical value of these pieces:
0:03 Amazon (QN)
Worth 'bout 13 pawn
0:21 Empress (RN)
Worth 'bout 850 centipawn
0:37 Princess (BN)
Worth 'bout 770 centipawn
0:52 Centaur (KN)
Worth 'bout 750 centipawn
1:19 Giraffe (C)
Worth 'bout 2 pawn
Worth less than a knight cuz it's colorbound & is awkward
1:34 Gnu (NC)
Worth 'bout 560 centipawn
1:48 Grasshopper (gQ)
Worth 'bout 185 centipawn
2:03 Ferz (F)
Worth 'bout 150 centipawn
2:20 Wazir (W)
Worth 'bout 1 pawn
The ferz, despite being colorbound, is more powerful than the wazir in the opening phase of the game due to its larger mobility forward
2:32 Alfil (A)
Not worth more than a pawn
It's colorbound & can only reach 1/8 of the board
2:54 Dabbaba (D)
Not worth more than a pawn
Also colorbound & can only reach 1/4 of 8x8 board
3:09 Alibaba (AD)
Worth less than a knight cuz can only see 1/4 of the board
3:27 Mao (nN)
It's a non-leaping Knight
Worth 'bout 150 centipawn
3:44
I think that's a Berolina Pawn that capture orthogonally forward
3:58 Soldier (fW)
Worth 'bout 40 centipawn if it can't promote
4:11 Nightrider (NN)
Worth 'bout a Rook
4:31 Camelrider (CC)

The Messenger (Berolina) can capture forwards but not diagonally, like a pawn but reverse.

That last piece is a menace ☠️☠️
"Giraffe" me: THATS A CAMEL
The ninja is dangerous
the most creative one is the grasshoper
The flower is called Ferz [ferz']
imagine the amazon with toad abilities, repeating moves, and giraffe movements.
Wait, so if the king gets stuck by a grasshopper, then would that mean that if you were to put that king into check where it needs to move, that would mean checkmate, right?
Make this happen, a mod for chess
This is a great video but why the non copyright music ahhhh
2:19 This is not a turtle, this is a Minecraft iron helmet.
The Dragon Knight move 1 square vertical then 1square diagonally it may not jump over pieces
Amazon (A) = WWFFN
Queen + Knight, officially worth 11~12 points. This piece isn't commonly used due to its immense power; one variant it's seen in is Musketeer Chess.
Chancellor (E), also known as Marshall or Empress = WWN
Rook + Knight, officially worth about 8.75~9 points. This piece is seen in Almost Chess, Grand Chess, Chess on a Really Big Board, and others.
Archbishop (H), also known as Cardinal or Princess = FFN
Bishop + Knight, officially worth about 7~7.5 points. This piece is seen in Grand Chess, Chess on a Really Big Board, and others.
General (M), also known as Centaur = WFN
Mann (king but unrestricted by check) + Knight. This piece is seen in Renniassance Chess [sic].
Camel (C) = C
(1,3)-leaper, worth about 2.5 points because it's colourbound. This piece is seen in Wildebeest Chess and others.
Wildebeest (V), also known as Gnu = NC
Knight + Camel. This piece is seen in Wildebeest Chess.
Grasshopper (G) = gQ
Essentially a queen, but it needs a screen (a piece within its path) to be able to move, worth about 2 points as it is almost useless at the end of the game. This piece is seen in Grasshopper Chess.
Ferz (F) = F
A bishop limited to one square, worth about 1.5 points as this piece can be useful in the opening, but its value diminishes towards the endgame. This piece used to take the place of the queen if I'm not mistaken.
Wazir (W) = W
A rook limited to one square, worth about 1.25 points.
Alfil (I) = A
A bishop limited to exactly two squares of movement, jumping intervening pieces, worth about 0.75 points as it is triple-colourbound, only able to reach 1/8 of the board.
Dababba (S) = D
A rook limited to exactly two squares of movement, jumping intervening pieces, worth about 1 point as it's double-colourbound, only able to reach 1/4 of the board.
Alibaba (Y) = DA
Alfil + Dababba, worth about 1.5~2 points due to slightly increased mobility, though it's still double-colourbound.
XiangQi Horse (U) = (mW-F)
Identical to the Horse in XiangQi, this piece is similar to the knight, but it can be blocked; specifically, this piece moves one square orthogonally to a vacant square, followed by one square diagonally outwards, capturing any opponent piece on that square. This is worth about 2.5 points due to its ability to be blocked.
Berolina (α) = mfFcefWimfnA
Basically an inverted pawn, can move forwards diagonally and capture straight forwards. It can move two squares on its first move, and it can be captured _en passant_ by another pawn upon doing so. This piece is worth about 1.25 points, slightly more than a pawn due to its increased mobility. This piece is seen in Berolina Chess (where pawns are replaced with Berolinas).
Soldier (β) = fWcefWimfnD
Basically the Shogi pawn, moving and capturing straight forward. Unlike the Shogi pawn, it can move (but not capture) two steps forward on its first move, and it can be captured _en passant_ by another pawn upon doing so. Worth about 0.75 points.
Nightrider (O) = NN
Probably my favourite fairy piece besides maybe the Gryphon and the Rose (neither of which are seen in Chess.com), this is basically a knight that can go an infinite number of knight-moves in one direction, so long as its path isn't blocked (as seen in the video where d6 blocked the check on the king on e8 from the nightrider on c4). This piece is worth about 4.75~5 points, almost as powerful as the rook.
Camel-rider (L) = CC
Basically the nightrider but with camel-moves, this is worth about 3.5 points, less than the nightrider because it's colourbound, and its long range makes it less useful on an 8X8 board.
Alfil-rider (J) = AA
A bishop that is limited to moving an even number of squares, but can jump every other square, worth about 1~1.25 points.
Dababba-rider (T) = DD
A rook that is limited to moving an even number of squares, but can jump every other square, worth about 1.25 points.
Alibaba-rider (Z) = DDAA
A queen that is limited to moving an even number of squares, but can jump every other square, worth about 2.75~3 points.
Dragon Bishop (Δ) = FF(mW-F)
Bishop + XiangQi Horse, worth about 6.75 points, only slightly less than the archbishop due to its increased ability to be blocked.
Stone General (γ) = fFcefFimfnA
Basically the Stone General seen in Shogi, this is a pawn that moves and captures forwards diagonally. Unlike the Shogi Stone General, this stone general can move (but not capture) two steps on its first move, and it can be captured _en passant_ by another pawn after upon so. This is worth about the same as a pawn, maybe just slightly higher (1.1~1.25).
Sergeant (δ) = fWcefWfFcefFimfnDimfnA
Soldier + Stone General, initial double-step moving and _en passant_ also apply to this piece. This is worth about 1.5 points.
This comment mustve taken a lot of time. Thanks for the support! :]

@@hy7864 ye. 1 could also be L or i. Btw 0 is o
Btw Stone General doesn't appear in standard shogi but in shogi variants such as Kamakura dai shogi (鎌倉大将棋)
& if it can't promote it would worth less than Pawn
Ok, so I left a comment here about 7 months ago that basically laid out each piece in a nutshell; however, I recently found a somewhat simple algorithm to calculate the values of different chess pieces (I used a spreadsheet for the calculations). This obviously isn't going to be 100% accurate for every piece, but I thought I'd put these down anyway.
The values listed below are for an 8x8 board, where pawns start on the second rank and promote on the far rank. Values are rounded to 5 significant figures.
For reference, here are the values of the orthodox chess pieces according to the algorithm:
Pawn - 1.0000
Knight - 3.0000
Bishop - 3.3750
Rook - 5.0000
Queen - 8.3750
Mann (non-royal king) - 3.7500
And here are the fairy chess pieces:
Amazon - 11.375
Chancellor - 8.0000
Archbishop - 6.3750
General - 6.7500
Camel - 2.5000
Wildebeest - 5.5000
Grasshopper - 1.5000 (
That’s pretty cool, what did you use?
@@ElektroMagnetizm These are basically mobility scores; the formula just looks at how many squares each piece can control from each square and compared the values to that of a pawn. Obviously, mobility isn't the only factor when determining piece value, so the formula definitely isn't 100% reliable (as seen by the value of the Alibaba compared to the Knight), but still thought it was cool enough to share.
Real flaws include not taking colour-bound weaknesses into account and stating that hybrid pieces have a value equal to the sum of their base pieces (e.g. "Queen = Rook + Bishop", though we know the accepted value is 9 and not 8). Obviously, a Knight is generally going to be better than an Alibaba as the knight can reach all 64 squares given any starting position (in one or more moves); whereas, an Alibaba can only get to 16 from a given starting position (only 1/4 of the board!).
What if you bring “cannon” from Chinese chess to regular chess
Cannon:move straight like a rook,but jump over an other piece when capturing
True it’s that one piece that makes chinese chess so fun
If the camel replaced with a kangaroo it will make more since
Looks possible for a 10x10 board
what kind of typeface is that
5:36 It's BnN which is Bishop + Mao (Lame Knight)
Hoogle hoogle hoo
The girrafe is very good because you could capture the opponents queen and other pieces from a very long range with the ability to jump over pieces
Yes, but it’s sucks in small boards and is also colorbound
Can you try the rook+knight
what about a pawn that can teleport anywhere accept directly on a piece and can only teleport within the 3-6 lanes. hopefully that made sense
1:57 It is actually called the Grasshopper.
0:42 ❤
The alicorn is actually called a Amazon.
Dragon knight is same as the knight but cant hop over walls.
Him giraffe
Me camel
I love pawn ❤
Him:Pegasus
Me:WAIT WHAT☠️
Only brazilian/portuguese ppl will understand
Man I'll go for the piece Colonel as the queen piece
It’s based off the king and knight. Amazon 0:07 is based off the queen and knight.
Bruh the giraffe knight-
ninja + assasin when?
the dragon knight is actually called hianqi horse and is like a knight but cant jump over pices
the king knight is basically a mounted king

is there any software with fairy chess puzzles?
No puzzles, but in chess.com
dragon knight is a night but it can't into piece if it's diagonally like the dk in e4 and a bishop to f5 the dk can't go to f6 or g5
The first piece is called Amazon
But what if you had a piece with all these pieces combined like a zoo maybe
Giraffe has M1 when it comes to the position you had it in
assassin can do a mega fork whith just c2
I have a question, where can I find those? I wanna make puzzles for all of them
I show it in another video
The Dragon Knight Should have an additional Capture ability which follows a double L. Basically can capture as if the knight moved twice.
Sorry about the reply, I didn’t read the entire thing
That would be pretty overpowered, the dragon knight is actually an orthodox piece in xiangqi (Chinese chess), and so was completely based off the xiangqi knight (mao)
@@ElektroMagnetizm Ya, I made the comment before realizing it already had some differences from the normal knight.
@@lethallohn it called it dragon knight but ironically it’s weaker than a normal knight xd
second was chancellor
How do I get these pieces
Yeah, these are cool and all but I'm yet to see a variety that feels as natural as the 6 standard pieces.
When you realise how pawns are designed to capture diagonally so that they could support each other while being blockades and how Knight is designed so that it can attack queen without being attacked.... Like it is the 8 closest squares where a queen cannot reach that is made into squares a knight can reach...
There are some I think
If Knight designed to attack Queen
Then how did Knight exist b4 Queen
Chess used to have Ferz instead of Queen
@@hy7864 no no no... I'm not saying in an hystorical sense. My point is just about how knights movement kinda looks like it compliments Queen.
If you consider a 5x5 box with queen at the centre, there will only be 8 squares the queen cannot reach in the next move. That's exactly where the knight can reach.
All I wanted to say is that the L shape movement is not as Random as it sounds. There is a really logical explanation as to why it is as it is.
@@newbie4789 the knight’s movement existed back in the 8th century I’m pretty sure
Try Shatranj
The possible movements of the main shatranj pieces, excluding that of the king and pawn, are complementary to one another, and without any omission or redundancy occupy all available squares with respect to the central position of a 5x5 grid
3:37 It is like a knight, but it cannot hop over other pieces.
Actually it can, just that if there is a piece adjacent to it it can’t move in approximately that direction.

0:03 "This is easily strongest piece there is."
No. It is the strongest piece *in your showcase,* but I can easily come up with a stronger piece. My piece has the movement of a Queen, a Nightrider, and a Camelrider. Boom. Take that.
The dragonkight should have splash attakes
The frog and grasshopper can be more in my opinion as it can easily take out a queen or smother mate
Not that easily
Alfil is "thrice-colourbound", only being able to reach an eighth of the squares on the 8×8 chessboard.
In order for a Grasshopper to move or capture, it must jump over one other piece, and land on the square just after that piece.
It would have to be in a specific situation to pull off a smothered mate. It is quite weak in most situations
@@hy7864 it’s kinda like the Chinese chess cannon which is pretty op
@@JevonChen unlike grasshopper
Cannon isn't restricted to only land on the square behind that piece & also doesn't require other piece to move passively

what app/site are you using
Chess.com, I made another video about how to use the pieces go check it out lol
@@ElektroMagnetizm thanks
what do you think a price\princess piece would do?
Prince could be a piece that moves like a knight plus a wazir, princess would be a knight with a ferz
Problemists call Knight+Ferz "Prince" while Knight+Bishop "Princess" iirc
Just like how Knight+Wazir is Emperor & Knight+Rook is Empress
Maybe the flower is a xiangqi piece that is the guard also called the advisor or counselor or a kinged checker
While the carriage is a xiangqi piece that is called the Chinese king also called the general
The messenger and spear is identified as the checkers piece but it’s not part of xiangqi pieces
The pusher is a shogi piece that is called the Japanese pawn
The Knight combined with queen can be named either a Amazon etc.
Yes
There should be a jester piece where it can move if it is "attacked." This piece can block threats because of self-check. This piece is immobile when not attacked.
That would be pretty cool. It also reminds me of the among us jester mod.
It's already exist & it's named Orphan
The Orphan was invented by David L. Brown in the early 1970s.
Brown, who is a problemist, invented the Orphan for the purpose of using it in chess problems, for which it is very well suited. Brown's book, White and Black from Brown - A Selection of 168 Diagrams and Chess Related Fluff, contains many problems using the Orphan.

@@hy7864 that name tho…
@@hy7864 btw I just saw the article and it’s a pretty neat piece
@@ElektroMagnetizm too bad it's only used in Chess problem & hasn't been used in any Chess variant
Or maybe it has but it's an obscure chess variant

This is from memory
Good memory 👍🏻
@@ElektroMagnetizm thx
Pegasus and Alicorn can checkmate on their own
i love the names you gave them, way better than "archbishop" or "chancellor"
I feel like those names fit the more middle ages aesthetic of the naming and design of chess but you do you
Haha thx
Piece number 4 is it colonel or coldnel?
colonel
The giraffe one looks more like a camel
How do that chess? Plz i want knew:)
I have another video talking about it
Ratu kudaa❤
The Turtle!? I thought it was a Minecraft Helmet
Turtle shell 🐢
Giraffe knight ninja toad assassin queen…
How do you get those fairy pieces?
I made another video about it. You should be able to find it
1:29 its actually camel
What if there was a Queen or rook-type piece that could not move when it took? Like it could capture a piece at a distance but it would not move to that spot at that time?
Would be complicated but cool
There's chess variant called Rifle Chess
Those are apparently called "Saurons" They can attack without having to move to that spot
I don’t even play chess and this is actually quite entertaining/interesting :/

Imagine if these pieces existed in regular chess 😳
Lol that would be chaotic. Would like to try it tho sounds fun :/
They haven't update chess for years
@@hy7864 centuries, actually. They made some minor changes like pieces’ skins and names
@@ElektroMagnetizm skins & names changes aren't really update
@@hy7864 minor changes
2:20 - i honestly thought this piece was called "pallete". It doesn't have power to capture anything, moves like a rook, and you stand your own pieces on top of, so the piece can be trasported somehwre else it cannot originaly go with it's own movement
2:54 - again, by the name of it, the "spring" - i again thought it was some kind of a buff-piece that you have to stand your own pieces on top of to get launched over pieces or something
4:00 - this should've got the ability to not capture, but to push enemy pieces back a square when placed near them
