Revisiting Maharajah and the sepoy: Imperator Chess

Sort:
musketeerchess2017

Maharajah and the Sepoy is a chess variant opposing a White Amazone (Queen + Knight) vs a classic black army.

This game is almost always winning for Black (with almost flawless play), draws are rare and white can win but only after many black blunders.

 

What if the Maharajah combines Queen + Knight + another leaper (for example Hawk).

This time the white side plays with classic pieces and the black side plays with this new customised Maharajah.

This new piece is very difficult to be captured making the game more strategic with white that should play more carefully. We also probably should replace the Classic Rook with a piece combining Rook + Hawk, and we should also replace the Queen with a Unicorn.

The game will be called Imperator chess (imperator = Royal Queen + Knight + Hawk).
