New piece idea (probably bad)

What if there was a piece that could move like one piece but only attack like another. Like if there was a piece that moved like a queen, but could only attack like a bishop. I'm pretty sure this is a bad idea, but let me know what you think.

Idk names would be piece specific and this is more of a dynamic concept. Do you have any ideas?

but this is a great idea

New piece(s) idea: apparently good

Piece that moves like a pawn but attacks like a knight: plight

vice versa sounds cooler

move like a knight attack like a pawn

I think you're right that most pieces don't work together well, but I think moving like a queen or capturing like a pawn will work well in most scenarios.

why not

That... my friend is the jester

Good idea! Maybe let's call it the 'pony'!

bro wth-

"Pony" is very cringy, and it isn't a piece it is a concept that could potentially generate many pieces.

i agree

i searched up pony in the chess variant pages home and got uh 🤷

click me to go to the chessvariants (not secure tho so be careful)

this link has every and i mean EVERY record of chess variants including EVERY variant peices

Please don't make me do the variant pieces I'm not looking forward to that.

lancer is called shogi knight or pawn knight
