    I'm surprised that the King's kingdom didn't turn against on him despite knowing he had an affair with a rook, 8 pawns and 2 other queens.

      But Black would have a major advantage because the amount of pieces.
      Generally, 3 minor pieces overpowers one queen because of the amount of space three pieces can cover. Add the fact that knights can reinforce each other and the pawns and Black generally has the advantage when they play well.

      Engines cannot calculate that far. They give the evaluation based on material count. If you try to play a few moves you'll find that this setup is playable for both sides.

    When a pawn promotes "like normal", does that mean that it can become a rook or a bishop? 99% of the time you wouldn't care, but very rarely it's needed to avoid a stalemate.

      Black usually wins
      QueeNy (a derivative of the 2400 Elo engine Spartacus) uses piece values Q=9.5 and N=5, which is not optimal with fewer Knights (where de Q/N ratio quickly goes up), but good enough to avoid getting there. But even then, to effectively clobber Stockfish required removal of the normal King Safety evolution. It could even beat Stockfish and many other top engines of those days with 6N vs 3Q (which is theoretically lost). The top engines never took the opportunity for making a 1-for-2 trade, (the first step for whie towards the win) until it was too late, and they had to sac 1-for-1

  • @jk-2053
    @jk-2053 2 года назад +5

    So it may seem unbalanced at a glance cuz queens are worth more points in normal chess, but I actually find it hard to secure safe captures. It seems to me that as white, your pawns are what baits the opponents into trades and your queens are used to either force the issue and/or support the attack. On the flip side, it seems it's also hard for black's knights to captures queens due to the queen's versatile movement options. I don't know how balanced it is, but it certainly seems playable. In the end, it seems white wants to be on the offensive with queens threatening multiple pieces from a distance, and black wants to be defensive while looking for pins, forks, and other strategic attacks with knights and pawns defending each other from threats.
    Well, that's just my opinion, and I'm just a rusty intermediate chess player. I'd have to see a few games before I can say any of this rings true with certainty.

    tbh in this senerio the queen side might be good because it has more material advantage but I think that knight side would have the advantage because each knight is spendable because of it's low value while the queen must be protected so knight side would go very aggressive and queen side is forced to defend. giving a upperhand to knight side

      @MewtwoStruckBack 3 года назад

      Mill 3 pawns to add a queen to your back row. Roll 3 10-sided dice, where the 10 on each die has been replaced with a picture of a wolf. For each wolf rolled, you may choose to add any 1 piece of your color to the board in any position. (You may do this even if placing that piece causes checkmate.)
