What if it moveseems to the king square? Is it checkmate?

Insta-death.

Well that'd be interesting

I'm now trying to calculate the probability of a game ending due to the blind queen eating the king. Does it start on the board or does it only appear after whites first move?

 

It also means there's a 1 in 64 chance black wins after whites first move, black wins despite not doing anything wink.png

Yeah I get that. Which means that there's a 62 out of 64 chance of the game not ending. Which means it'll take only 22 moves before it becomes more than 50 percent likely the game ends. surprise.png

 

Assuming I've interpreted correctly.

Imagine a situation where you're losing badly, you only have a king and the enemy has two Queens and a king but then they lose to the blind queen

The shield

Must be captured 5 times before it is removed but can not move or capture.

 

The sniper

Can capture any piece in any direction like a queen, but not if the piece is obstructed by another. Cannot move and can be captured like a regular piece. May be bribed and used by the opposition.

 

The sexy pawn

Acts like a regular pawn, but is so good looking you get distracted by it and lose on time.

The Mangy Mare. Once out in the 'pasture,' (rows 4 or 5), must be led back to the barn (home square) by an enemy pawn in the next series of moves whereupon the King farmer shoots the pawn and it is removed from the board. The nearest enemy pawn must accompany the Mare by sharing the same square on the way back to the barn. Only one knight per side can be designated as the Mangy Mare.

The clock. If this runs to zero, you lose regardless of the position!

If you promote to a queen you lose all your pieces except the king and the queen(s)

I think this has all ready been invented and named. The worst and most useless one in chess is also the most annoying -- the Kibitzer.

What does it do?

Nilocra_the_White

The Kibitzer sits beside the chessboard and comments on the game -- this is called kibitzing.

Why all this forum hostility? Did I miss something?

The saboteur. Each side has two of them, replacing the a and h pawns. They can never move or capture, but they can be captured.
