Invent the new worst/most useless chess piece ever!
Sort:
The princess every time your opponent’s king is in check she makes another king for your opponent
The sailor, whenever your opponent moves he dunks the chessboard underwater
The Doppleganger, it imitates the move of a single piece for the rest of the game after the first 10 plies.

The empty square - it leaves the board when captured by any piece, and returns as soon as that piece leaves. Uhm didn't we already have this?
No. You can't take an empty square with a pawn at the moment and it might make castling difficult.
The RAR Knight, which jumps over all the pieces, including itself, making it the RAR master’s favorite piece.
A knight whose movement dimensions are 7x3
The fool. It is your piece that your opponent can move
The Westboro Baptist Church Member. It must stay at the opposite end of the board from the Queen at all times.

The only thing the FIDE laws say on the subject is:
Art. 1.1 The game of chess is played between two opponents who move their pieces on a square board called a ‘chessboard’.
Nowhere is it stated that each player may move only his own pieces. The online USCF rules http://www.uschess.org/content/view/7324/28/#section8 also fail to state that.
So apparently the fool is not new. All existing pieces are fools. It's just that not many people take full advantage of their capabilities.

I think the fact it says their pieces is kinda saying you can't move your opponents

In which case it's at least ambiguous. I take "their" as a plural possessive pronoun and (feminist lobby permitting) "his" as the singular. So "their pieces" in the article would mean only the pieces belonging to the players (plural).
Had FIDE intended to restrict each player's moves to his own pieces it would presumably have been worded, "The game of chess is played between two opponents each of whom moves his pieces on a square board called a ‘chessboard’.

Did you just assume the genders of the players?
Why all this forum hostility? Did I miss something?
THISISAWARRIOR attempted to lower my ego to raise his own by changing my name to “an idiot”, which is both pointless and possibly illegal.
I'm aware of this and I think I commented on it. I'm just unsure as to why he did it or why anyone has insulted anyone to be honest.
