How about pawn can jump over any piece on its first move

If pawn can move two space on its first move

If there a piece in front of it

How about pawn can jump over any piece on its first move ??

Whynot

because it is not worth it. This would also remove a lot of the complexity of chess due to move orders in openings. This would pretty much make a bunch of stuff interchangeable, especially d4 positions.

That would bring more life to the game. Instead of piece being jammed in by pawns and pieces.

In 4 player it would add more life to the game

You have pawns moving in all direction why cant you do that??

because that's not how pawns move...? They're meant to be the weakest piece on the board, so giving them too many abilities would essentially make them too strong that they would alter the game completely

no this pawn should be called a hopper, I like the idea, but it should be a separate piece.

bro i just joined this club and I'm already getting completely bombarded by suggestions.

agree.

Hoppers, especially grasshoppers, are interesting and even elegant compositional pieces, but I am not convinced that they make the best game pieces. Their power decreases as the game progresses.

not if u r playing chaturanga (the afil are actually crap)

alfils aren't meant to be good lol

ik, I just sac them for pawns most of the time bc pawns are more valuable

that ain't true tho

alfil is better because there are less of them and they are more flexible, about the same

Me too.
