The recapturer.
Moves and captures like an Amazon (Queen - Knight component) however:
When the last move by the opponent was a capture, the recapturer can only capture.
When the last move by the opponent was a move without capture, the recapturer can only move without capture.
Cool piece, do you want to play a game with me.

Do you want to play with it
Cool piece, do you want to play a game with me.
With recapturer - yes now I could play and I do think it is interesting to try.
Movement: The Chameleon has very limited mobility. It can move one square in every direction, but not diagonally.
Capturing: It can capture and be captured normally.
In this position, white could play Cg4, but it is not check. The Chameleon can not move or threaten diagonally.
Black cannot play Kg4. It would be check. Black can play Kg5, and threaten the Chameleon.
Special Powers: The Chameleon has two unique powers. For the Chameleon, the board is cylindrical. That means it can move from the a file to the j-file. It can not move from the 1st rank to the 8th rank.
Legal range of motion.
Legal range of motion.
Second Power: The Chameleon has a special ability to become invisible. To become invisible, the Chameleon must not move OR be threatened for 10 moves. Waiting for the Chameleon to charge up does not cost a move. Simply leaving it alone and moving other pieces will charge it up. If it is not put in "chameleon check" and it does not move for 10 moves, it becomes invisible. If it makes it to 8 moves, but is then threatened, it resets back to zero. As long as it under attack, although you are not obligated to move it, it cannot count towards invisibility. Once invisible, it retains all previous rules.
There are a few ways for it to become un-invisible. Your opponent threatens it, your opponent captures it, or after you move it 6 times while invisible. If you move it 6 times, it returns visible.
You may ask, how can you move it without alerting the other player? If you wish to move the Chameleon, you must tell the moderator the move. You may move other pieces on the same turn as moving the Chameleon.
White has an invisible Chameleon on h8. He plays both Kh7 and tells the moderator in private to move the Chameleon to i8.
Black is in checkmate.
Potential Starting Positions:
I will judge every five pieces now.
KIA, would you play a game with me including two (or other number) of the pieces of the following,
the wall
the sacrificer
the dreamstealer
the bomber
Maybe a bomber and a sacrificer? That maybe the most exciting.
Ok, let's do it. I will create the game soon.
Do you want to play white or black?
the teleporter
a queen that can teleport anywhere and can generate more teleporters
The first five pieces are the recapturer, chameleon, bomber, and sacrificer. I will judge win the games reach an instresting point.
I decided to create a new piece challenge. Pieces will really be judged by me every 10 pieces. If you post a new piece on this forum, I will play a game against you with that piece.
