I've been playing this for some time, and it's seriously great. But to enhance it a little, I added 3 little custom rules in regard of the bear, and those are the following: 1. Bears can only take fish and fish queens. It's a bear, so it should be able to eat the fish, and the fish queens, they cannot take the other way around though, so they spend most of their time avoiding the bear. That makes for a scenario where both players want to progress with the players keeping the bear as far away as possible from their fish, thus making more use of the gained movement freedom the fish has. 2. A bear can only be taken by either an elephant or a queen. This one is just to make players try to redirect their elephants in a way they can get rid of the bear, again, making more space with the now meaningless pawn-walls, as for queens, they are powerful, but now a condition to lose, so one will protect them more, if you truly want to have freedom on the board, maybe a queen should step in. That will open a lot of new possibilities. 3. Each player takes a turn in moving the bear, with the black player starting. Since white starts moving, black gets the first bear move, to clarify, black will choose 1 of the center squares to lay the bear on, these being: d4, d5, e4 and e5, after choosing the bear's starting square, black will still be able to move a fish. From there on out, moving the bear will cost a turn though. Therefore from there on out players each will try to get the bear on each opposites throat, ruining their structures, open for weaknesses. Getting rid of him when he becomes a nuisance will become a major objective. I hope this will help to make a greater experience, if you try that is ^^.

[@UndrcoverCactus]

Okay so I tested this out with people and it was actually incredibly interesting. I think it has a lot of potential. Here’s my feedback. 1. The rook and monkey are awesome. They add a lot of interesting complexity and were very fun to play with. They are pretty much perfect as is. Kings and queens also function pretty well and don't really need any adjusting. 2. The elephant is extremely weak. They're worse than fish, but unlike fish can't even promote. Each elephant can literally only access 8 squares of the board, with most of those squares often getting blocked off anyways. So, I'd recommend doing something to improve their options. A suggestion I have is to allow them to move horizontally/vertically 1 space, on top of diagonally 2 spaces. It would greatly increase their options, and I think would overall improve the game. Of course, you could do something else too. I just think it needs to have more maneuverability in general. 3. It takes too long to develop the fish. Allow them to move 2 spaces in the beginning like pawns can in Chess 1. 4. Just like pawns in Chess 1, I think fish should be also able to promote into any piece, not just queens. Especially with how useful rooks and monkeys can be. 5. There's very rarely a reason to move the bear, so it mostly does nothing. And then if it does manage to get into play there's also the risk of a situation where both players are just moving the bear back and forth endlessly. I know loops like that aren't new to chess, but I still thought it was especially bad with the bear. The people I played with suggested some changes, such as maybe the bear moves 1 space the first time it's moved, 2 spaces the second time it's moved, 3 spaces the third time, etc. Or maybe allow it move anywhere like the rook does, but just not the same place multiple times. Overall, very solid game. I enjoyed it a lot, and with some tweaks it could be pretty darn awesome.

[@davidguthary8147]

nobody is talking about how OP the rook is in chess 2 (everyone is talking about monkey). Think about how chess is played. You place pieces to cover other pieces that are covering other peices that if moved will discover other pieces that can be taken out. The fact rook can only attack after a piece is taken means nothing, as you would use a piece that can just apear everywhere on the board defensively by nature anyway. Take this super simple example- the enemy moves to a spot that will take your monkey, you only have once turn to save it. Just take your rook from all the way on the other side of the board and fly it to defend that monkey. The rook ALWAYS guarantees a defense. Side note- rook goes from the best end game piece (as you can easily box the king for a safe checkmate) to the worst piece, as it literally can't attack with a solo king on the board. In the event the king does take a piece, it can ONLY do so in a place the rook can't kill it, as you can't place yourself in check.

Hey! I got an interesting rule: Imagine that the king gets jailed and the monkey rescue him. If the monkey with the banana dies, the king can recollect the banana and then the other monkey of his team can save him if he get captured, but if the other monkey dies and he get captured again, then he gets jailed forever.

[@FelipeLoureiroGoulart]

And another thing: Everywhere the bear moves for the first time he can get killed by the elephants. You should make it the same as boring and lame chess with the bishop thing

[@RealPersonGuyDude]

Idea for the elephant: if there's an enemy in between where it's going and where it is, it dashes through the enemy, taking the piece but it still goes all the way to 2 pieces.

There's a slight flaw in the bear, in which no matter where it's first move goes, it can be captured by an elephant. But I really like the idea of it. It should be uncapturable. And maybe add another. More dead square make the game interesting.

the monkey is kinda like a nerfed version of the chinese chess cannon, which is insanely OP. (minus the banana mechanic of course LMAO)

[@HatterTobias]

The cannon is actually a relatively shit piece, it's value is around 1/2 a Rook, the only reason the cannon looks powerful in Xiangqi is because the other pieces in Xiangqi (except Rook/Chariot) are far weaker than the cannon

[@FlameQwert]

​@@HatterTobias good point, I think my overvaluation is because the cannon also has some non-standard value as the ultimate noob trap in xiangqi

[@Fynmorphover]

In chess the cannon would be better i think. Xiangqi has elephants and the palace assistants to mitigate cannons which chess does not have (though the King in chess has better movement so maybe that balances it out). I dont think the monkey plays at all like the cannon lol, calculating all the places the monkey can attack seems like a nightmare.

[@bombintheseeinq]

it's also like chinese checkers pieces.

[@BucketOfJames]

That's the whole point

[@hannahgambino3884]

Some Suggestions for balancing the pieces after many hours playing this version of chess: -Buff the Elephant so it can see 2 squares in each direction. It's range is pitiful (currently it can see only eight squares on the entire chess board). -The Crow's purpose as a piece should be a planned revenge killer (but only if the crow is touching the piece that was taken). -Limit the monkey's range to 3 hops per move. There are 32 pieces and 64 squares on the board. That being said, if the monkey can continuously jump over every other square, the monkey has the most capabilities out of any chess piece I have ever seen. It desperately needs a nerf of some kind. - Fish should be able to take pieces that are in front of it. - Taking the Bear should also capture the piece taking it -- incentivizing making it an obstacle throughout the game that either player can move. One final suggestion, make a clause to insure once both the king and queen are captured, despite the monkey remaining on the board, the game ends in defeat.

The problem with making an chess 2 playing engine is the bird's movement. It has a huge branching factor, and that messes up traditional mini-max searching algorithms, they get overwhelmed. So you might have to use a more modern kind of AI. Maybe an Upper Confidence Bound algorithm, or better yet a learning AI that uses UCT (Upper Confidence bound applied to Tree search) base algorithm

[@pancakes2351]

[@andrewchen5345]

there should be a special move that's the equivalent of Castling in Chess 1.0

[@zorimanar2247]

I mean, rooks are still a thing, so theoretically you could still castle as normal, but it wouldn't make thematic sense anymore. Instead of the king hiding behind his castle walls, he is hiding behind... A bird?

[@GabrielAraujo-qm3hc]

It doesnt make so much sense here, bcz u one of the reasons to castle in chess 1.0 is to connect rooks to control the entire back roll, from there you can prepare the rooks to atack (if needed) Since chess 2 crows cant capture like rooks, castling wouldn't make them controll the back roll, only the spaces adjacent to them

[@GabrielAraujo-qm3hc]

Ps: You could only castle to make a shield on the king, so unlike chess 1.0 you could make a rule where you can castle even if the king is in check, or maybe you could castle with the Queen once she's captured, you could make the crow fly to the jail and break free the queen swaping their position. But ONLY of the crow selected hasnt moved yet
