Invent the PRESIDENT, can't get more useless than that.
Invent the new worst/most useless chess piece ever!
Sort:
No, wait! There's even worse! Get this-- the Berserker runs around the board wildly, eating any piece it comes into contact with.

The obnoxious spectator. White's obnoxious spectator resides on h3 and loudly insults and castigates the White player whenever he/she makes a move that is not recommended by Stockfish. It refuses to move, but can be captured. However, Black refrains from capturing this piece so that White continues to be discouraged.
The Sheldon! It spouts interesting trivia to the point when his friends want to ambush him with a crossbow!

That's like a clearance sacrifice made easy. Hey, that could be a commercial for the product!

The cook, he provides food to the other pieces. He is placed behind the e1 and e8 squares on a special e0 square only he can occupy. As long as the cook has not been hit by a "check" if you will, the king is allowed to move around on the board and as long as he gets back to e1 or e8 he can still castle.
The jester; he resides on i9 and entertains the other pieces until someone hits him with a frozen leg of lamb, probably the Cook mentioned my Rogue_King.
The wall: Sits in the middle of the board and stretches from the left edge to the right. Cannot be captured or moved. Eventually forces the 50-move rule after all the pawns are against the wall.
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
Reagan has won a game with white against the wall:
The smasher: it smashes one square and breaks any walls and cannot be captured by anything except a king. If bestsellers come into contact with it, it WIL stopp them and will have to crush it next move. The smasher no c ess s just like a rook, but captures like a queen.
The traitor. Any time you try to move it, your opponent gets to choose where it moves to (if at all). And it can only capture your own pieces. And only you have a traitor, not your opponent.

The Accountant.
The accountant resides somewhere under the chessboard, no one knows exactly where. At any time after the game has started the accountant can pop up in an unoccupied square next to the king and whisper in his ear. Once the accountant appears he must follow the king around like a puppy taking whatever square the king just left.
While on the board, the accountant has two abilities.
1. He can issue a report that the kingdom is over budget, and must suspend opperations, allowing the player to make no moves in a turn.
2. He may report that pawns are the kings most cost-effective peices, allowing the player to convert any of his rooks, bishops or knights into pawns. The queen, (high maintenance diva that she is) is of course immune to such cost restrictions.
Laughed hard, thankyou.
Can't think of name... but a piece that can't move and can only be stalemated. it will cause a game over timer to start once this happens. that's my idea
Joker-pawn
A joker pawn can be turned into any piece of the same color at any stage of the game and back to pawn of the same color also at any stage of the game ( reaching a promotion square is not required ). Joker pawns are legal on the first and eighth rank ( this is possible if they were turned into a piece earlier, this piece moved to the first or eighth rank and then was turned back into pawn ).
Joker pawns are not funny, but are useful as a theoretical tool to determine the number of possible chess positions. The number of positions with joker pawns is 6.35 * 10^49 (*). Joker pawns can simulate normal pawns, so they can generate all positions with normal pawns. This means that 6.35 * 10^49 (*) is an upper bound on the number of possible chess positions. Early estimates on the upper bound were in this ballpark, so they must have come from joker-pawn like positions. The current best upper bound is 10^46 ( this takes into account a more realistic setup ).
(*) Assuming that all 32 pieces are on board. With less pieces the number of positions decreases dramatically, so only the 32 piece case is interesting.
Whaaaaaa?
Whaaaaaa.
the troll. whenever someone has a winning position, it trolls you and gives the other player a mate in 1
m_p, lol.
