Chess but you can only take pieces identical to yours. Ex. Bishops can take bishops, and pawns can take pawns. If you promote a pawn to a queen, the queen acts like a rook or a bishop. TWIN CHESS

[@justanoob3444]

nice idea

[@EpicCybop7777]

KING TAKES KING😂😂😂

[@CharlesStearman]

I thought of a variation which might be somewhat easier, in which pieces cannot take ones more powerful than themselves, so bishops and knights can't take queens or rooks, and rooks can't take queens. Pawns can only take other pawns, and kings can take anything. Another version that has occurred to me would be to allow pieces to capture more powerful ones provided they have 'support' from another piece that is attacking the same square.

[@Balou_560]

​@@CharlesStearman ah yes, so that the king can take the king to deliver checkmate

[@Penguin4096-si9fz]

when Martin fires a cannon at your king after checkmating your opponent...

[@Sivep1]

Play 2 games against Martin simultaneously. If Martin captures a piece in one game, the corresponding piece in the other game is frozen and cannot be moved for the rest of the game.

[@ladygray81]

He already did that lol

[@Alsadius]

​@Karolina Bender Nah, that one he needed to make identical moves in both games. And that one was virtually impossible, because as soon as Martin did anything differently between the two, it became almost unplayable.

[@gregordonaj]

Hypothetical situation: you move, then Martin moves, then Martins fires his canon, which destroys one of your pieces but this results in a discovered check for you. Acording to the states rules, you have the next move. What then? Is this instant win?

[@Balou_560]

Definitely, since you just take their king

[@mathematicsreadinggroup7288]

Your piece gains protection, as it is illegal for Martin to fire the cannon into check. (ha!)

Great editing on this one. Also, chess (against Nelson) but the king cannot afford this war and the longer it goes on, the further the kingdom will sink into economic ruin and despair. Revolution will begin on move 10 as your pawns will no longer move or capture unless one of your pieces is directly behind him forcing him to fight, but knights, bishops, and rooks will no longer fight valiantly and will only move or capture up to three squares away. Then, starting on move 20, knights, bishops, and rooks will no longer move at all unless the king or queen is directly behind him forcing him to fight. Then, starting on move 30, the entire army (or what's left of it, anyway) will refuse to move whatsoever as they have been starved out and defected to the other side, leaving you with only a king and queen. If the war doesn't end on or before move 40, your king and queen surrender and are exiled to the Egmont Islands.

[@TheSpider2674]

Move 20! Thats why tonsoon

[@Lani_337]

Chess but Martin backfires. Each time you take a piece, you have to erase pieces equal to the piece you captured. Rules are including pawns

[@Mindraker1]

Martin: Cannon shot to e8. Well, that ended that.

[@basteala525]

Variation of this idea: Nelson Bot has a cannon, but he fires twice so long as the queen is alive.

[@John73John]

Idea for chest against Martin: Your pieces have a conscience. After making a capture, the piece feels so bad about what it's done that it can't move for the rest of the game.

[@PaxtonGillette-ge7pk]

I love how Martin fired the cannon at his king not once, but twice

[@mythrilturtle]

This was great fun! I have a modified idea of the cannon vs. Stockfish idea: You, the legendary Bobby Fisherman, have brought 9 points worth of 'harpoons' to take down the mighty Stockfish that has been harassing your friends. At the end of your turn, you may remove a piece or pawn with value less than the number of 'harpoons' you have. However, if you have less than your starting number of points, you can have your first mate, Martin, take a turn to have up to two additional points available the following turn.

[@gabrielbarros493]

I think it isn't that hard to defeat stockfish being a queen up

[@_wetmath_]

this challenge was more interesting than i thought it would be. i thought most of the cannonballs would hit empty squares but it actually managed to take out a few pieces

[@ladygray81]

Same

[@sgtnubbings6501]

Martin couldn't help but try and blunderbuss his own king and pieces when given a weapon. (Alright, i'll confess, I'm smugly happy about that pun)

[@RemyWillard]

Martin's King sure does love using that "cannonball-proof armor". 😆

[@steinanderson9849]

that cannon is anxiety inducing

[@bobeyay]

a variation to the cannon vs Martin: any square under fire by the cannon will be unusable by Nelson for the remainder of the game because Martin has magical incendiary cannon balls. Of course Martin's pieces and pawns are immune

[@gabrielbarros493]

Give your editor a raise, he deserves it

[@Molten404]

5:12 Martin didnt want his pawn

[@WinterJester530]

Martin:G5 Nelson:That's a miss

[@scitails]

Keeps on trying to kill his own king. Very in-character.

[@MaxE69]

Chess but Martin changed his weapon - it's a taser now. Like the cannon when he ends his turn 3 (or more if it's too easy) random squares get electrified, meaning your pieces can't go to that square and if your piece is on the chosen square it can't move.

[@reubenmanzo2054]

I would like to modify this challenge slightly. Instead of exploding gunpowder, Martin's cannonballs are filled with a gaseous psychedelic drug that converts any pieces it hits to Martin's side. The king will be immune. Are you strong enough to handle defectors?

[@ivanbaucic6201]

You made the wheel, now consider the wormhole challenge again 😊

[@Dustyplastic73]

Martin: eliminates a piece with the cannon, giving himself a 10 point swing. Stickfish: brilliant!!

[@ladygray81]

Makes sense

[@tianlecheng2656]

Stickfish lol

[@Kaewle]

Chess, but when a peice (maybe also pawn) is taken, you can't move there again. I have no idea what to call it.

[@eliteteamkiller319]

Plot twist: we're Stockfish to Martin, and he's just a guy trying to beat the ultimate AI.

[@UnknownRager96]

Chess vs Martin, but your army is tied together. Pieces/pawns must be connected to all of the others only through horizontally vertically, or diagonally adjacent squares. There can no isolated groups.

[@kogmawmain8872]

What happens if Martin shoots a piece that was blocking a check? Let's imagine the black king is on a3, a white rook is on a1 and a white pawn on a2 and the pawn gets shot? Now black is in check but it's white's turn.

[@emilie4058]

There's a 1 in 64 chance of the cannon taking out your king, and a 50% chance of losing this way in a game lasting 44 moves.

Minesweeping Chess Chess, but Martin leaves landmines on the square he moves a piece from. Your pieces explode upon touching it, but since Martin's pieces have a flag kimono on, they are immune to mines.

[@doomjunyu_]

You should do this again, but instead of the specific tiles, you have the spinner to fire the cannon from a row, taking out the topmost piece from that row

[@kennyfa2874]

Yes please, play stockfish with the cannonball

[@shreyjain3197]

i thought you meant the fairy chess cannon (it can move like a queen, knight and camel) it would be interesting to see what you would do against that i think playing against stockfish with a cannon would be quite interesting you can modify it so that u dont lose immediately by giving urself extra pawns or smthg

[@BorisGamingChannel]

Idea inspired by this video Chess, but Martin is a crazy scientist. Everytime he captures one of your pieces, all your pieces in a 3x3 area can't move (The center of the area is the piece Martin captured with). You can change it to a 5x5 if it's too easy.

[@franklinturtle9849]

Upgrade his cannon so that if he targets an empty square he gets a pawn on that square. No pawn granted if 1st or 8th rank.

[@Skenificator]

Challenge: Chess but the king is Canadian You have to play against martin, but your king is very polite. You cannot capture any of martin's "innocent" pieces. Martin's king, however, is always non-innocent, as it thinks maple syrup doesn't taste nice. An innocent piece is a piece that has not captured any of your pieces, and has not entered your territory. Your territory includes any squares on the 3rd, 2nd, or 1st rank. You also cannot sacrifice any of your pieces, or put any of your pieces on squares where they are under attack. You cannot block checks. If your only legal moves include breaking the rules, you loose. Pawns do not count in this challenge. If you find it too easy, you can choose to include pawns.

[@flamelyfire3571]

Paired chess: if Martin takes a piece their twin or the other rook,bishop or knight gets captured to, of course pawns are not affected by this rule

Martin is a Scandinavian player

[@cheeseboiboi1767]

nelson bot but his queen has a laser that shoots at any piece in its line of sight (cant shoot through pieces)

[@HenrySchach]

Chess, but his pieces are getting upgraded: Every third or second move, one of his pieces is getting upgraded in the following way: Pawn to knight or bishop, a knight or bishop gets replaced by a rook. Finally, the rook's upgrade is a queen. If nothing is possible, a pawn will be added anywhere

[@sgtnubbings6501]

My spin on this would be to something like each move when it's Nelson's turn to play spin a wheel containing all of Martin's pieces (a-h Pawns, b/w Bishops, c/f Knights, a/h Rooks, Queen, King), whichever piece is landed on upgrades a tier. A Pawn's first tier can be chosen by Nelson as Bishop or Knight, a Knight/Bishop and any pawn that upgraded to one landed on again will upgrade to Rook, Rooks to Queens. Landing on the Queen will spawn a new Queen on the board (spawns closest possible adjacent square(s) to Martin's King). Landing King is perhaps Nelson's saving grace, hit that and a Queen/piece of Nelson's choosing can be removed from the board completely (except King of course). Main problems with my proposal are probably trying to remember which specific piece is which after a number of moves and upgrades, and it just might become super hard (basically impossible, even against Martin) super fast with Black Queens all over depending on the spins.

2:14 NO!!!!! Qg4 with a good chance of mate on c8 in the next move. (In this game, you have a better chance of mating early on.) 2:58 Nelson: castles. Martin: cannon ball lands on g1. 4:23 Bc7!!! (threatening mate in one at d8) 5:55 Rd1 is better; if Martin plays ... f6 or ... f5, Nelson can still snatch up the rook. 6:46 What are the rules if the cannonball had landed on g1?

Martin, but if he moves a piece, the first piece in that direction dies. Eg. If you were black, e4 would destroy the e2 pawn.
