Invent the new worst/most useless chess piece ever!

Sort:

The chess player. It sits in front of the chessboard and moves other pieces so that they always end up in a worse position.

The booster - takes the position of the queen. Every move the booster moves one square left or right at random and kills all pieces except itself and the opponent's king on that file.

The drunk knight- just like a knight but it can't jump over pieces

Very nice. Chu Shogi actually has a piece officially called 'drunk elephant' because it can step all directions except for backwards. And the knight in Chinese chess actually cannot jump over pieces orthogonally adjacent.

Thank you :) but in Chinese chess...? My piece is already invented :'( sadness

The sloth- moves like the king but needs to recover 6 moves after it's move.

The French Knight: Looks a bit like a Rook (or a "castle") with the infamous French Knight standing on top of it. It is pictured here:

Neither side can move it and all it does is taunt you throughout the entire game. Every 3 moves it'll fling a cow at you. If you try to capture it it'll fling the piece/pawn you tried to take it with at you. If you dare to try to capture it again it'll launch containers of waste at you.

Basically it is possibly the most (humorously) annoying piece ever invented.

The Queen. Looks like a stylised female monarch, at least, what she would look like if she had infinite rotational symmetry for most of her height, and an octagonal head with a strange ball on top. It is restricted to moving along ranks, files and diagonals, and can be lost instantly through one mistake. It is also completely incapable of jumping over other pieces, and starts each game trapped between three pawns, a king and a bishop.

And it farts in the opponents general direction ...

Lol good one. It also can't move from it's seat, and doesn't work very well with other similar pieces.

The bird. Moves diagonaly over peices. Can't capture. Can't block checks. Dosen't take up a spot(it can be on the same square as another peice.). You get to throw this peice out the window if you lose. Essential to the game. you have 2 of them, they replace the king and queen pawns.

 

ps there a great peice if u know how to use them

The needless reminder piece.

It is just a blank rectangular block except for some text to serve as a memo to remind you about some errand you already completed in the past.

The clippy. As soon as you move your hand, It says, "It look's like you're trying to move a piece". By the time you get it to shut up, your flag has fallen.

the janitor, it moves in every direction,(including knight) and you can only use it if your opponent trash talks you. or plays dirty.

its use is this----it always faces your opponent, and its holding up its middle finger.

The chessboard.

The gambler, you have to pay 100,000 usd to move it. It can only move like a king and can't eat anything.

the monopolizer, it just takes things from other players. and doesnt give back.

The iron queen....  

This piece can capture all the pieces on its path but the problem is...  It weighs 2kg, made of red hot glowing iron and must lifted off the board for it to be played...  Talk about real sacrifice..

The KBishop. It can only troll using cuneiform in its oneliners and only a few scholars are able to unappreciate the humour.
