Did you guys like these events? I think the directional knights event were very interesting.

Bad_Dobby_Fischer

i always love events that make the game more complicated, rather than more simple

Yeah, its fun when it gets complicated. Its hard to guess the value of the new knights here. One pessimistic way to think is that the knight can be 1/4 of a rook + 1/4 of a knight or 1/4 of a bishop and 1/4 of a knight. That would be 5/4 + 3/4 = 2 for the rook variant (facing straight), but obviously the flexibility of the knights make them worth more than that. How much more is hard to guess, but I would guess they are still worth about the same as the bishop.

 

Anyway, the rematch is here: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-variants/event-chess-game-bad-dobby-fischer-gyrados06-4
