How to play Plunder Chess

[@honeyjuice219]

I was actually surprised to see that you can only use a vest move once. usually in this types of chess mods they'll be no limits let alone drawbacks to the gimmick but seeing that vest's are a one time thing makes me think an actual professional made this mod.

Knight's vests are super useful. they can: -let bishops change the color they're on -let the queen checkmate without any support -get pieces over pawn chains -allow your king to trap an enemy king against a wall or corner in some endgames, without the help of other pieces (rooks can also trap kings in the corners with it)

Ok this ones really cool. It is very similar to the variants of chess that allow you to combined the moves of captured pieces, but making it a one use item that you actually have to think about taking or using is so unique. Also the vest are just aesthetically pleasing. Also also, this is literally a mechanic used in Shotgun King and I played that recently.

[@sammysammyson]

This is a chess variant that actually seems to add something meaningful. Other variants I've seen wind up being extremely convoluted in attempts to be unique, while this is a simple addition that adds another level of strategy. It uses the familiar shapes of chess unlike some other variants, so there is not any need to learn to recognize the potential moves of 4 new pieces. Not to mention it slightly discourages trading as the last piece to capture winds up with a vest, which alters chess strategy in a subtle but very real way.

It’s very cool to see all these commercial variants of chess instead I’d looking through a 900 page wiki on every varient and wondering if you could play them

[@marbleWRKS]

0:13 So, if you looked at the video carefully, you could see there are KING VESTS. You can play as the rules shown if this ever happens: For example, it wouldn’t be checkmate if a queen protected by a bishop’s attack on the king would be protected by a rook and queen. If it is the “prevented checkmate” or “protected checkmate,” winning person goes first, who must capture the king (illegal move if not), the queen or rook will capture the piece that captured king, bishop captures, rook captures, and rook will be given the king vest. Exceptions: Regardless of if a Vest Move happened, the piece with the king vest may NOT take it off. If that were to happen, it would be checkmate because there were no king. Like a pawn or queen vest, it can be awarded to any piece except for itself. A queen may still take the vest because like I said, it would be checkmate if not. Like the piece were to be a regular king, if any of its king moves (any of the adjacent squares other than the square of the piece), or any other move is an illegal move, the game is a stalemate. Therefore, it is a draw. In a vested piece to an opponent’s king endgame, the following rules must be followed: 1. If the vested piece is a queen or rook, it is an immediate win for the color of the vested queen or rook. 2.1. If the king-vested piece is a pawn, it can run to the other side until it is at the far rank. When the far rank is reached, a rook or queen vest is added to the king vest on top of it. This results in the same ending as the first scenario. 2.2. If the same scenario is present but the other king threatens all pawn moves and capturing spaces, it is a draw by stalemate. If the opponent king threatens one capturing space and the normal pawn movement, the vested king can perform an “illegitimate capture;” when the vested pawn moves to the capturing space that is NOT a threatened by the king. 3. If the king-vested piece is a knight or bishop, it is a draw based on insufficient materials to checkmate. 4. If both ending pieces are king-vested, this results in the same ending as the third scenario. 5. If this is the first (or second) scenario, the two players can offer a draw or one can offer a resignation.

[@사회학과]

I wonder a piece that captured opponent's rook on a square which is the original sqaure of its friendly rook can castle or not. For example, white bishop may capture black rook on a1 square and gain a vest move of the rook. Can that bishop castle?

[@oguzhanyigit1326]

I guess not, because normally both the king and the rook needed not to move for castling, but you need to move and capture a rook for that to happen.

[@사회학과]

@@oguzhanyigit1326 I would think in the same way, but one fact confuses me. Initial two step vest move of the pawn is respected when it is in the second row, even though it is not the actual initial move of the piece.

Yeah, I was wondering why castling wasn’t mentioned, then I realized that a piece with a vest can never have castling privileges anyway.

If a piece has the pawn vest, will every pawn move be able to check a king (e.g. double step move, one step forward) or only the move you use for capturing (diagonal move)?

[@doomse150]

Since it's copies the pawns move options 1:1 I'd guess only the capture move counts, since that's how it works for regular pawns

[@TroyVan6654]

Pawn can only capture diagonally; any piece in front of it blocks its forward movement. A pawn can't check a king right in front of it. Therefore the same applies to pieces wearing a pawn vest which cannot normally move forward.

[@danielyuan9862]

The definition of check is that there is a threat of capturing the king next turn. Nothing mentioned in the video contradicts that definition.

[@rubenlarochelle1881]

Little detail: I don't think he said you are allowed to change your mind and remove a vest you haven't used yet, and this could potentially be a problem in some extreme cases (like for example when, in regular chess, you promote a pawn to queen and instantly end in stalemate, while if you promoted to something else you could have won; with a similar reasoning, I think you might sometimes find it convenient to "lose some priviledges").

Queen + Knight = Amazon

If there's a vest move, are there also vorst moves?

[@clclapper6841]

I have a question So to wear a vest you must capture a piece right ? And to play a double step move with a pawn vest it must of been your first move . So how to play a double step move while you already moved to capture a piece ?

[@gulgaffel]

Condition for double pawn move is being on rank 2.

I love how for the vests to work, they had to make the knight look like a llama

1:01 is no one talking about how a PAWN captured a queen?

[@Bookworm12-j9t]

Guess so

[@gunjan5621]

I think it's the 3rd to 7th row

Just curious why can you with a vest slide through check but not castle with a vest through check?

[@erickpoorbaugh6728]

Presumably because castling is a special case. Regular chess lets you move out of check but not castle out of check. Sure, using a vest move lets you temporarily pass through a checked square, but you’re not ending your turn in check. Think of it this way: (1) You can never end your turn in check. (2) You can never castle “under pressure,” i.e., when any of the spaces involved for your king is under attack.

Why is there a King vest, though?
