Bulldog Chess with Crippled Amazons and Jokers (Fly-Eagles-Fly vs HorribleTomato)

Sort:
Fly-Eagles-Fly

This is a game between @Fly-Eagles-Fly and @HorribleTomato with additional pieces.

Crippled Amazon:
Moves and captures like a Knight. When two Crippled Amazons of the same color are separated by a Knight's move, they can temporarily move, capture and give check like an Amazon (Q-N compound) until one of them moves out of such a position or is captured.

This means that if you lose one Crippled Amazon, the remaining one is reduced to a Knight. I suspect this to be a substantial loss!

Joker:
Moves and captures like the last piece with which the opponent has moved. But does not inherit any special functions. A Joker who is imitating a Crippled Amazon, can move like a Queen, if he is a Knight's move away from another friendly Crippled Amazon. That other Crippled Amazon does not get the Queen's move from the presence of the Joker, and a Joker cannot move like Crippled Amazon if he is a knight's move away only from another Joker, not a Crippled Amazon.

A Joker who imitates a pawn can move 2 squares if he is on his 2nd rank.

I think the kings and queens are switched from regular bulldog chess, so watch out for that. I'll do board updates every 2 or 3 moves, if that's okay.

Just to be clear, when someone moves a joker the other person can move their joker as the same thing their opponent did, right? Like if I move a bishop and you move a joker I can move my joker as a bishop, correct? Just want to make sure.

I think that one plan can be:

- Put CA knight's move away from each other - to give them their extra potential

- Keep them where they are and very passive

- Build your army around that extra potential

- Only when it is almost end-game they can start doing things
