Strategies

  • Knight-Rider can be used in quick attacks when your opponent is premoving (this is Capture the King), I mainly used the time control of ½|0 during testing, but ¾|0 might be used to encourage less premoving and more time to think.
  • Promoting to wildebeests is an easy way to take out your opponent's back rank pieces.
  • Just as a note, grasshoppers are pretty much useless unless one of your generals or queen got taken and you use it to capture back.
  • Remember that sergeants capture and move both diagonally and straight forward, which you can use to defend the promotion rank.

This is a 2PC game, so like I said, it can't be rated, however, I didn't find anything that would make one side have a noticeable advantage. So, this should be a listed casual position, or a WoF, depending on what the CGAs find during testing.

Thank you for posting a New Custom Position! While there is nothing wrong with your position, we already have enough listed 2-player positions with the similar ideas. Here are some of them: Secret WeaponRiders GameBehind the mirror IIThe X of Tricks. The last one, by the way, is the most interesting and well-made, and surpasses your position.

Since 2-player positions cannot be rated anyway, it isn't a big loss. We all still can play your game and you always can invite anyone to play it. But as I said, not to spam the public list with casual games with more or less similar ideas/concepts, we're forced to decline your position.

Keep up the good work, we are looking forward to see your new creations!
