  • The soldier is the weakest fairy piece as it can’t form chains and has only 1 directional movement, unlike the other pieces.

    When I was playing chess against myself in jail, before I knew anything about chess strategies, before I knew about any online chess community, before I knew about fairy pieces, when I was making my board and pieces out of soap, toothpaste, and cardboard, I came up with what you'd call a "fairy piece" and I called it the Serpent. Basically, you started with this piece in hand, not on the board, and when you moved a piece on the board you could put it on the board in the place where that piece had just moved from. It could attack like a knight or bishop (choose one at the beginning of the game) but it couldn't move otherwise without attacking. You could also use a turn to take it off the board if it wasn't under attack, and use it again in the future. Idk if anyone else has had the same idea. I never used the piece much, because figuring out normal chess was complicated enough without it.

      It depends on its starting position, but from the centre it can't go anywhere so 1/64 in that case. If it starts from a corner it should have access to 4 cells, which makes up a 16th of the board.

    The soldier can still be useful. You say that it can easily be stopped from promotion, but if there's a rook supporting it from behind it's actually really hard to stop. Because unlike normal pawns, soldiers control the squares they move to, so you can always push the soldier as long as it's not captured.

  • @petersmythe6462
    @petersmythe6462 Год назад +45

    I think we can come up with some custom pieces that are probably weaker than a pawn.
    1. The antlion: it can attack forwards but only move backwards. It can neither form useful pawn chains nor get anywhere in the endgame, forcing it to make 7 straight predictable captures to get anything done.
    2. The defender: it moves and captures as a Wazir, making it arguably stronger than a pawn in some ways. However, it cannot promote, and it cannot capture offensively. It can only capture if the opponent captured on that square the previous move. Notably, it cannot capture to get the king out of check.
    3. The Froze. It has the same mobility pattern as a Ferz. However, it cannot move if it is defended. It can make a two move advance like a pawn, but cannot promote.
    4. The drunken king: Has the moveset of a king, but every time it moves, it loses the ability to move that direction. It may idle for a turn in order to regain its move in any given direction. Yes, this means it has 256 possible movesets it can "promote" to each of different value. I'm honestly not sure the value of this piece, but I could see it not being worth a full pawn.

    The Soldier is definitely not the weakest piece. Far from it.
    The weakest piece is the Zero. The Zero is defined as a (0, 0)-leaper. It is not useless, as it allows you to effectively "skip a turn," but it is definitely the weakest piece, as it has no other utility whatsoever, and can be captured.
    Also, the anti-Soldier and anti-Berolina Pawn are both also weaker than the Soldier, since they can only move backward, theoretically.

      It's like a knight but it can move like as bishop from that place of knights movement
      Hard to explain so
      Pretend it's a math grid (piece is p)
      P,x=0,y=0 it can move x+1,y+2 and x+1,y+2
      Let's focus on that for demonstration
      So then from the points you can x+1,y+1 which is diagnal
      It's kinda op so I was thinking how to nerf it without making it bad
      I was thinking making it just once diagnal but it's up to you
      Then I was thinking it'll be cardinal cuz pope bishop and stuff

      Oh also only this
      It won't go every diagnal cuz that is WAYY too much just as described and turn it 90 degrees for other direction

      That's a very good question
      If soldier is unable to promote in the lasg rank than no impossible
