Did you guys like these events? I think the directional knights event were very interesting.
it was
i always love events that make the game more complicated, rather than more simple
yes rematch
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
i think more than a bishop
I got really confused about the knights jumping around
Nxe5, change direction towards e6 bishop
