Yeah these are just some bad pieces from musketeer chess but thare is a version of this game online with many more interesting pieces. Like thare is a musketeer called the magician that makes all pieces around it "intangible" meaning your pieces and enemy peices can choose to pass through theam with any piece. It's pretty cool
Some of the descriptions of those moves are of the"giraffe", a fairy piece used in some chess puzzles. I like Capablanca's Chess, a Chancellor and an Archbishop played on a 10x8 board or a 10x10 board.
I don't know if you know this, but there are official variants or rps with more objects, and it's still a fair game and follows the exact same nature of regular rps, only with less ties :D
Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock. Rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock, and as it always has, rock crushes scissors.
i prefer the variant with just the archbishop and chancellor. it is a lot more complicated, but that's what makes it fun, because it takes the players completely out of conventional theory. the archbishop in particular is really cool, because it can checkmate a king without any other supporting pieces.
Given they pretty much are just "the knight+" the whole imaginary line thing could just be scrapped and those 2 pieces could instead replace the knights
Lizard Piece: It has 2 movement options: 1. Slides three squares horizontally or vertically then one square to the left or right(basically knight but it slides) 2. Jumps up to 5 spaces diagonally (discount bishop that jumps)
@@arrowghost My version of the cannon moves by 1 like a rook and captures without moving up to 4 squares like a rook. Also, the pieces from both teams surrounding the captured piece are removed from the board, except for the kings.
The switching tops makes me have ideas about a chess game where you have little guys atop castles or something. Maybe having the big ones colourless and little guys can take control of them
Ironcopper piece: It may slide up to 7 squares and jump 4 or 6 squares to the left, or jump 1, 3, 5 or 6 squares up, or take two knight moves in a row, or jump any number of squares down unless the piece is on a4, c7 or d1 in which it can only jump 1, 2 or 6 squares and slide 3, 4 or 7 squares, or jump 2 or 3 squares to the right. It may only capture when moving up or to the right , or by moving like a knight or when sliding exactly 5 squares to the left.
Is there any point to inter change the tops of the foreseeable spider, or is it just a decorative thing? Also it's nice to see Staunton Style variants of custom chess pieces. Most of them (Diplomat, Archbishop, Chancellor, etc.) are just in Disc form to my knowledge.
Some sets do switch the top colors of some units, typically the king, in order to help make them clearer and stand out more. So flipping the fortress/spider could be seen as a way to prevent them getting confused with the rook. But again this is mostly for aesthetics and clarity for some people.
Wow, we all love the Dragon when it's a Queen on a Knight's horse. But as usual, Dragons, like the Queen, can also be the most harassed piece in the game.
3:50 ah, yes. the neutral party. it can capure any pieces other than the kings, and cannot be captured, since it plays for both teams. if you were to capture it, might as well allow pieces to capture pieces of their own team.
Ah, but that is the beauty if it. Neutral pieces are controlled by a player only when one of their pieces could capture it that turn. So, if your bishop could take a neutral Fortress, that Fortress is under your command. However, when you move it to capture the enemy bishop, it is now in line of attack from your opponent's knight, so they control can move it now.
leopard: arch bishop cannon: OP knight i guess unicorn: cannon(faerie chess) and knight combined dragon=amazon chancellor: knook archbishop(musketeer): the same thing elephant: basically queen but limited to 3 spaces and it jumps hawk: basically elephant but better fortress: confusing to learn its movement spider: basically archbishop but better
I believe the House of Staunton put this out. Looks like it is a spin on Seriwan Chess. I recalled discussing them and called the warping onto the board move "gating".
Any chance you can explain the rules to the Dark Souls board game in a way I can understand, cause I've read the instructions, but I still find it hard XD
I have an idea for this chess game once you replace the fortress pegs your fortress is controlled by the enemy opponent same with you and you may not replace a fortress peg if it gives checkmate or check
Yes, Knight+Queen is typically named the Amazon, but there are several variations that don't use that naming aesthetic, for whatever reason. "Dragon" is a common second name for it though, outside of Gygax's "Dragonchess" sets.
You do realize that because there is no way to buy a Musketeer Chess set which contains all the special pieces (they only sell 2 at a time), I'm just going to put stickers on checkers pieces, right?
Could you make a move that puts you in check, (moving a king-pinned piece,) if a musketeer takes the place of the piece prior so that you do not end your turn while in check? (Blocking the king's line of sight to a checking piece via a musketeer?)
whoever picks second has such a huge advantage over who picks first, I'm obviously just theorycrafting because i haven't played it but second gets to either say pick the piece i want or we play default
heres an interesting twist: if you choose the spider or fortress, if it is captured, it is turned, and it shows this by have the top your color, or no top at all (if no top, it is whatever the opposite color of what it is)
What? All the new pieces move basically the same, and even all have the capability to move like knights. Why add new pieces in the mix if they aren’t totally unique?
i have an idea for anonher chess variant. corpse chess. the rules are the same as normal chess, exept for these changes: pieces dont get captured, they die. if a piece dies, their corpse lays on the battlefield and that space cannot be occupied by other pieces. if a piece kills another piece, they will move to the space occupied by the corpse like normal, but cant go back after it leaves. this is the only exeption to the previous rule. whenever a piece kills another, they become invincible until they move, the only exeption being the king and the queen for obvious reasons. pieces also cant move through corpses, so walling off the king to a part of the board, just to capture him later is not possible. additional optional challenge: the corpspspspspsps could deteriorate over a certain number of turns, until they are just removed from the board.
@@evilduck5691 the murderer is invulnerable until it moves, the only exeption being the king for obvious reasons. but i guess seeing how many corpses you can fit into one square _could_ be an optional challenge.
@@augustomoreira7441 "murderer"? It's chess, my man, you don't murder pieces, you capture them. Don't tell me how to talk. Anyways, there's a huge issue with your variant: capturing pieces is always safe. In fact, there would almost certainly be forced mate in 3-5 moves for white, just bring out the queen and start capturing everything near the king
@@evilduck5691 first of all: it literally says on the rules "pieces dont get captured, they die" second: i dont understand your issue, could you please dumb it down a bit? edit: i read your comment and i think i got it. is the issue because the king and queen become safe for the rest of the game after killing once? because if it is, i can change the rules so that can't happen. imma do it rn.
Lets imagine a situation: a rook and a bishop are threatning to capture the queen that is defending the king. The queen has any musketeer behind her. Can the queen move (or capture) in that situation because there would instantly be a muskteer in her place?
@@lukatolstov5598 Fun fact: In CwDA; Forward FIDEs by FM Ralph Betza, Knishop is a name that already used for piece that moves forward as Knight, & moves backward as Bishop
I love how he's like "oh btw you can excange the tops" and doesn't give any reason or game play use, you just can
Thought the same thing lmao
Yeah I went back to see what I missed. I guess nothing then.
Maybe it was an option to upgrade rook to fortress but it ended with "ehh just add more knights"
Me: instinctly changes them to have white on black, black on white
$20 gacha skin
Everything moves like a knight, like whoever thought this up went "Yeah having two knight pieces is cool, but what if there were four knight pieces!?"
That also slide
Ordained knights, call it a crusade
I mean, they are Musketeers, and the Mousquetaires du Garde were light cavalry...

what does the interchangeable top add to the game?
Since you can mix the colors, it kinda makes me imagine some sort of co-owned piece that can be used by either player.
@@TheCheesyNachos *coolness*
@@TheCheesyNachos There are new piece with new rules that can be represented by the new piece

this feels like the kid who introduced more moves to "rock, paper, scissors"

Lizard Piece:
It has 2 movement options:
1. Slides three squares horizontally or vertically then one square to the left or right(basically knight but it slides)
2. Jumps up to 5 spaces diagonally (discount bishop that jumps)
I was thinking the Cannon is more like the Chinese Chess version, move like a rook, but jumps over to capture
Too powerful, even if you just implement the 2nd option, and for just 2 spaces (instead 5), the piece would end up similar in strength with the knight
@@arrowghost My version of the cannon moves by 1 like a rook and captures without moving up to 4 squares like a rook. Also, the pieces from both teams surrounding the captured piece are removed from the board, except for the kings.

It may only capture when moving up or to the right , or by moving like a knight or when sliding exactly 5 squares to the left.
This variant is crazy. It adds a dragon and a hawk, too.
Uh
at this point, every piece should move like a knight, cause there's no point if only a few cant while the rest can
This is actually a cool physical variant that makes use of fairy pieces
Now the regular Knight must be feeling really left out seeing it's comrade getting such OP moves.
Yeah, why even have regular knight and the temporary storage for the new pieces when they could just replace the knight with those pieces?
