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 😅

[@ElektroMagnetizm]

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.

[@ItsSkyWasTaken]

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 (

[@ElektroMagnetizm]

That’s pretty cool, what did you use?

[@ItsSkyWasTaken]

​@@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!).

5:36 It's BnN which is Bishop + Mao (Lame Knight)

[@ItsSkyWasTaken]

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.

3:37 It is like a knight, but it cannot hop over other pieces.

[@jingjingzhang8179]

Actually it can, just that if there is a piece adjacent to it it can’t move in approximately that direction.

[@mikeshaver-miller745]

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?

I have a question, where can I find those? I wanna make puzzles for all of them

[@lethallohn]

The Dragon Knight Should have an additional Capture ability which follows a double L. Basically can capture as if the knight moved twice.

[@ElektroMagnetizm]

Sorry about the reply, I didn’t read the entire thing

[@ElektroMagnetizm]

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.

Yes

[@8-BallWithALaptop]

@@ElektroMagnetizm I gave chess pieces my own point values and why that is Pawns are normal Knights are normal Bishops are 5 so they aren’t the same value as the knights Rooks are 7 because 1. I want it different from the bishop and 2. I want to keep them odd numbers Queens are normal Chancellors are 9 because to checkmate alone the opponent needs pieces aligned perfectly Archbishops are 11 because it can checkmate with no help of any kind and it counters the bishops weakness And amazons are 13 because queens are 9 knights are 3 9+3=12 with more mobility in one piece +1 so 13

disagree with every one of ur choices any mix of pieces and pawns should be added from the piece and piece/pawn giraffe should be 7, ninja should be 10, ninja is too powerful for this 8x8 board, but gradually becomes lesser value when the board increases, stopping at 12x12 which is abt 7 points as well the pawn variants should be 1 point, the half puece variant should be 2 points double variant variants like toad hopper is basically 3 points, but the bigger the board the more powerful, stopping at 5 points. the mega pawn should be 2 points like the others, i mean the king is 3.5, so the math should add up

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
