which means that anyone participating has a 25 % chance to be teleported back to the sixties. Paradoxical thinking processes: more dangerous than you'd assume.

Man I would love to go back to the sixties. It's one off the places I have never been.
o.k. I will participate then.
If its ok with the topicstarter I will rephrase the question to
"Which piece, do you think, causes the most unexpected upsets in chess?" I think this is what you are aiming for.
If this indeed is your question, then it must be the Knight. With its ever feared forks, and strange movepattern.
Personal I prefer the pawn, with its underpromotion.
I think underpromoting a pawn. I had one game where my friend was ready to take my pawn with a bishop as soon as I turned it to a queen, but I changed it to a knight instead and he ignored it. That knight then forked his king and his rook.

I'm not in the sixties yet. Pity.

Nice comment and intresting one at that,i am afraid the question is clear.howe ver i appreciate the your choice of words. in re phrasing the question.looks like the knight though, but we learn everyday someone may have a different opinion,thats why the question arose in the first place.but i dont think the pawn will be unexpectedly dangerous in that case,reason being that every one knows there will be a promotion on arival.but the knight can strike before you say Jack!cheers.

lol.
the statement below is true in saying that pawns are the most unexpectedly dangerous piece
the statement above is false saying that pawns are the most unexpectedly dangerous piece
thanks for the comment.
It depends on position of the pieces
which piece will you consider the UXPECTEDLY DANGEROUS.
