Favorite Fairy Pieces
Copy of my response to this forum: https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/what-is-your-favorite-fairy-pieces-in-4pc-survey-and-dont-forget-its-about-how-they-move
Some people were talking about my pfp and such, so this post wasn't completely about just fairy pieces but other points.... like @Michael9213 once again not understanding how ideas work
1. I don't base my favorite piece purely off how it moves, but rather also the design and what variants it appears in.
- The Camel is seen in Collateral Worlds and Color Blinds, while the Camel-Rider appears in The 4 Horsemen
- The design is easy to remix and add things to, as you can see often with my profile picture changing based on the season, holiday, etc.
2. Here's my favorite piece based off only design, the dragon bishop, although it's only on chess.com/variants-test as of now:
- Look at those wings and claws on the bishop!
It's a hybrid piece (like many fairies) and can move like a bishop and a xiangqi knight (knight that can't jump over pieces, but still moves in the L-shape)
3. Here's my favorite piece based off movement, the general:
- (Additionally, it appears in Collateral Worlds and Surprise Attack, but that's not my main point)
- Moves like a king and a knight, the king is mostly weak, but the knight adds a lot more movement, which is the reason why I like knight fairies.
4. Michael, stop being a hypocrite. Please.
Here's a comment you posted in 4PC Custom Games:

Trying to take credit for finding a tactic in a WoF that I created, when I already found it during testing? lmao
Don't want to emphasize this too much since it's not healthy to accuse someone of something too much, but this was my PFP from legit September:
It's the generic Deadwall Camel from the current 4PC, no?
This was my pfp like literally 2 weeks ago, it's the Stonewall Camel from Variants-Test.
This was your comment:
That hardly makes any sense, considering I was the first to get the idea to use the camel-rider, while you swapped around pieces in your pfp, and I'm still using the camel, albeit from Variants-Test.
