Meta for Ahab

Pick the Queen, and even if you are completely lost you can just run forever... the Queen is so slippery, its hard to come up with a strategy to force capture the queen

Ill play anybody in Ahab Chess with the Queen, and yes, you KNOW which piece I chose. I still believe its OK

thenomalnoob

Yes, queen isn't allowed

Cobra2721

Oh thats a new rule?

thenomalnoob

It's a part in both of 2 creators rules

then choose the rook

Requires 4 queens to capture

Correct, queen is not allowed.

But like @Arjun1516 pointed out, rook is very possibly a meta as well, and we're going to be looking into finding a way to address that.

@Arjun1516 in the middlegame it only requires 1 (or 2) bishops and perfect setup to capture the rook

Arjun1516

How are you supposed to know it's the rook that's the Ahab in the middlegame?

lutobida

idk but still lol

Arjun1516

Rook is just broken but people may sac a lot of pieces for it. That's why I use a random wheel picker for the ahab choices except the bad choices.
