A camel piece I modeled in Tinkercad. Planning to 3D print it!

Today we'll look at 4 special pieces. Chess.com calls them "fairy pieces," but I like to call them Chess DLC pieces!

Camel

Let's start with my favorite, the camel. Both white and black pieces are shown here.

 

If a knight's pattern of movement can be described as 2-1, then the camel could be described as 3-1. Only white is shown here.

 That's about it for the camel. Checkmate!

 General

Next is the General. White and Black are shown.

 General is basically King + Knight.

 

Looks like a gear.

Wildebeest

Next: the Wildebeest.

 

Here's how it moves. It's a knight plus a camel.

(P.S. The musketeer chess "bonus pieces" call this a unicorn) 

 

I wonder what it would look like with a second move...

OH DEAR LAWD

 I probably missed a few...

Amazon

Finally is EVERY PIECE COMBINED INTO ONE, the Amazon. (Well actually Chess.com says it's Queen + Knight, but...)

     

Where can it move?

Oh, my...

 

Note the 5x5 square in the middle.

 

Well those were some weird and unique pieces. Idk what to say here. Ahjkadfhkajsfhakjdsfhajkdfhadsfadsfjaskdfhasjd I guess.
