What if Chess had DLC? (Fairy Chess Pieces)

What if chess had DLC? These chess pieces are not what you're used to. The normal chess pieces like the queen and pawn are fine, but what if we add the knook, the duck, the amazon, the grasshopper, or even a missile? Find out now.

Honestly Archbishops are not as powerful as queens, I think it's worth around 7 points. But when used effectively, and if the opponent is not careful, they could cause more damage than what it's worth.

I remember that i invented many bizarre chess pieces as a kid. I remember one, i just stacked two rooks on top of each other and called it a tower. I decided that it would act like a normal rook but when it was captured, only the bottom rook would die and the top rook would fall down on the square the tower was "disassembled" on and it would capture the enemy piece on it and would continue as a normal rook. Good times...

Piececlopedia: Dragon Horse Historical notes In Shogi, the Japanese form of Chess, the Dragon Horse is the promoted form of the Bishop, moving like a Bishop or a Wazir. In Holywar, Fergus Duniho has called this piece a Lady, in reference to Joan of Arc, the Lady of Lorraine. In the context of this game, it was a weaker version of a Queen. Although it isn't normally a royal piece, Fergus Duniho has used a royal version of the Dragon Horse in Fusion Chess and several more games based on it, such as Bedlam and Thunder Chess. In these games, it is called a Pope, and it is one of four possible royal pieces, which a player can form by merging his King with a Bishop. Movement The Dragon Horse may slide any number of spaces diagonally, or it may step one space orthogonally. Diagonal movement follows along lines of spaces connected only at their corners. Spaces are orthogonally adjacent when they share a side in common.

Me and my friends play Anarchy Chess, you can add any or make any move as long as it isn’t gamebreaking. My favourite ones are Nuclear Submarine: if one player uses this, the other player will be asked if they also want to use it. If both players use it, it will result in a nuclear war and both players will lose. Advanced Mobility Tactics: Allows a chosen pawn to move in any direction. (Can be used more than once) Unholy Practices: Allows a chosen piece to capture a piece of it’s own color. Dizziness: by spinning your Rooks around really fast, you can make them dizzy and move like a bishop, and the vice versa for the bishops.

Back when I was in Scouts, we had a game called “scout chess.” You played like regular chess except you could fill your entire side of the board with any pieces you wanted in any positions. Oh yeah, there was also the “Pegasus move” which let a knight capture every single opponent piece simultaneously at any time (king included). Needless to say, white always won.

Can't move until at least one piece is captured, but has the potential to be even more powerful than the queen by the end of the game. Midwife: can hop over pieces, and if it takes them can resurrect a pawn in the location. Spymaster: can't move directly, but can swap places with any non-king piece at any time. Basically operates as a shifting teleport waypoint that needs to be accounted for.

I had a piece concept unique to chessplus (tldr you can combine any piece except the king to combine their movement) The Parasite jumps two spaces horizontal/vertical or one space diagonal. It cannot capture. It can instead combine into an opponent (normally illegal) one space horizontal/vertical. While combined, the piece is controlled by both parties and can capture any space it can move or jump to. Only the parasite halfs owner can seperate them, and it can capture + be captured while combined by either team. It is legal to combine with the parasite voulentarily, and it does not become neutral if you own both halves. A neutral combo may capture the current players pieces in a self sacrafice. If you're into that.

I thought of this piece called the poisoner that basically makes it that it can't attack a piece until it's targeted it and then the next turn it can be killed

[@_aWiseMan]

I think a good idea for a piece would be a protector, any friendly pieces next to it cant be taken until the protector dies. Kinda similar to how a king cant take pieces protected by another king. Its far more limited than say protecting your rook across the board with a queen tho. The protector essentially gives every other piece a king limitations. But its distance is short and its movement limited to 3 spaces at a time. Its slow but combos with other pieces for a very strong attack. It essentially acks like a second king in a late low pieces game. Keeping other peices safe while your king can still stay out of danger. The only downside is the protector cant capture other pieces, it cant protect the king or pawns either. If a piece can body gaurd your pawns and king at once early in the game you cant be checkmated at all. Tho using bishops rooks and knoghts you could possibly protect your king but at that point .....why you woudnt likwly be able to win either and the protector could be beaten by knights easily. It go over any defenses. Another interesting piece would be an archer. It captures from range and cant kill anything in a circle shaped space area around it. However it doesnt need to move to capture. It needs to stay away from danger but at range it has less space until very late to actually stay away. If it survives its a decent piece. But it is kinda like a weaker queen. It has clear limitations but can still be very useful as it doesn't need to put itself in danger to take a piece.

Rifle Chess At an evening in December 1996, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Bennekomse Schaak Vereniging (the chess club of Bennekom, a village in the Netherlands; I was a member of this chess club for many years), several chess variants were played. One of these variants (and one traditional chess players were bewildered of most) was Rifle Chess. Rifle Chess, also called Shoot chess, or Shooting chess, was, according to Pritchard's Encyclopedia of Chess Variants, invented in 1921 by W. B. Seabrook, who was inspired by modern warfare tactics, where, unless in ancient warfare, where a close combat was necessary to kill an enemy, now the striker can kill at a distance. The game has been played since then at many occasions. Rules The rules of orthodox chess are followed, with the following exceptions. Pieces no longer take by moving to the square that is occupied by the piece they want to take. Instead, when taking, the piece that takes does not change location. Effectively, this means that when one could take a piece under the traditional chess rules, one can remove the opponents piece but no of ones pieces is moved. One can always take at most one piece per turn. Pritchard states, that one often uses the rule that taking is obligatory, although when more choices are available for taking, one can choose which capture to make. Comments This simple rule change changes the game a lot. For instance, it is of no use to guard pieces. Written by: Hans Bodlaender.

Here's an Idea: The pyramid: this guy moves like a queen but if he captured a piece it can spawn another pyramid

[@djangel3108]

Gonna give my opinions on all the pieces covered. Amazon (1): Pretty OP against a normal king, it covers a 5X5 square radius or 3-tile diamond radius around it, athe queen also has to maneuver around other pieces and has to put some effort into checking the enamy king, and it xant do it alone since the king can just kill the queen without protection, but the amazon can just jump around and it's covering radius is enlargened enough by the knight movement to be ale to checkmate the enamy king at a distance he can't escape from. Knook and ArchBishop (2): both very solid, the Knight movement in the knook covers the rooks biggest weakness of its own camaraderie blocking its path and also makes it unable tk be forked by unprotected knights while the archbishop also removes the bishops biggest weakness if being unable to switch colour, both are very solid and more balanced than the amazon due to neither covering a 5X5 radius. KnightRider (3): Given I like the Knight for its jumpy L's, giving the simple ability to be able to keep jumping in the same direction allows it to just sneakily jump around to try and pull off a sneaky move, thoughnon very big boards it can straight up check the king out of nowhere with chain jumps so if playing on a bigger board I'd suggest for it to be so the rider can only capture on the 1st and 2nd jumps, possibly the 3rd but it depends on the board size. Ferz, Wazir, and Mann (5): To believe the Ferz was the old queen is gut wrenching, they can be ok pawn represent but are otherwise useless, if thy had unique conditional abilities to make up for their lack of movement it would be fine, thought he Mann can be somewhat decent for scaring away pieces on rare occasions. Short rook (5): idk what to say about this one, might make for an interesting setup on a longer board but it's just kinda meh,mif it could promote to a rook under certain conditions then that would be cool. Roship and Biok (6): these are pretty funny as hell and weird to calculate but also make cool use of the concept of pieces being able to move but not capture on some spaces, but capture though not move normally on other spaces that isn't explored in any other vanilla chess piece aside from the pawn. Individually the Roship would probably be a better sniper than bishops since it would just slide around like a bishop till it suddenly pulls out a holy rifle, and the Biok (which I believe is pronounced Bih-uk) just diagonally tap dances like a bishop till it Rook-Kart style runs over an enamy, both have the positioning advantage/disadvantage of one of their pieces making their attack easier/harder to utilize sk I honestly think these are some of the best Faerie pieces. Gryphon(7): its split rook movement is pretty neat, and it can just move 1 square diagonally which would make it a bit more aggressive than the rook since it requires less effort tk get out since you can just move 1 pawn then move the Gryphon once diagonally before suddenly covering 2 long V's. Gonna cover the rest in a other comment for the sake of not making this one too beefy

No The rose can be described as a circular nightrider. More specifically, the rose makes a series of continuous knight moves, except that unlike the nightrider, which continues in the same direction, the rose must make a 45 degree turn with each leap. Like the knight, it can jump over intervening pieces, and like the knightrider, each square it actually comes into contact with must be empty. If the path if unblocked, it is legal for a rose to travel in a complete circle and end its turn on the same square as it started from.

An En passant will allow it to move like a queen on your very next turn. You don't start with it, to get it, En passant must happen (anywhere), then a queen trade (anywhere) right after. And if you're playing duck chess too, the duck must then get in the way of a potential king capture (any side, anywhere) right after. Its spawns on the closest opponent pawn to your king, capturing it.

What chess app purchase website are you are you tell me

I know nothing about chess, decided to watch anyways and then when Moonsetter started playing i realized why KZbin recommended this to me

Since I’m still a Kid (15) I’d say the First is the Guard: Only Moves along the Borders of the Board, but can Move an Infinite Amount Meaning he can Snap from One Corner to the Next (Unless he encounters a Piece that would be Captured Instead) Update: Second would be a Play on what I Sometimes call the Horse/Knight (being *Frog*) It can Move to One of the 8 Squares Surrounding any Piece And that’s it, no other Method of Movement or Capturing

We need chess dlc, man. Also, it would be super interesting if everyone played with some sort of "personal army", meaning everyone plays their chess differently.

@@hy7864 that or Chess Evolved Online I'd still prefer CwDA though, as it still really feel like Chess

[@TheEpicHandle387]

imagine if someone just makes a piece that's literally just how you play checkers called "Wheel", "Cart", and "Train" Wheel is the normal checkers piece, Cart is the king piece, and Train is if you fused the king piece with a bishop
