Create a new chess piece!
Already exists: it’s the queen
Here’s mine:
Name: Archer
Ability: Can move to any square that is two squares from its position. Can hop over pieces.
Appearance: An English Longbow (15th century)
Starting square: Where the kingside knight ( g1 white, g8 black) usually is.
Continued from last comment:
Can be captured, capture, check.
Notation: A
Pawns can promote to Archer
These values are completely messed up:
First of all the King should be worth Infinity, it can be put in check and checkmate and if the king gets checkmated then the game ends,
2: theres no way the Archer and the Tiger are worth 8 points, the Archer is just a bishop that is not colourbound and the Tiger is just a rook that can move 1 square diagonally, so:
Wazir = 1 point
Ferz = 1 point
Bishop = 3 points
Rook = 5 points
Tiger = Rook (5 points) + Ferz (1 point) = 6 points
Archer = Bishop (3 points) + Wazir (1 point) = 4 points
3: the Warrior (aka Amazon) should be worth 12 points:
Warrior = Queen (9 points) + Knight (3 points) = 12 points
4: The Archbishop and the Chancellor are most likely to be worth 7 points
5: theres no way the Centaur is worth 6 points, it has nothing special and it becomes kinda weak on big boards it is most likely to be worth 5 points and on endgames the Rook does much better than the Centaur
The King is worth 20 points because that's the score a player earns when they capture the opponent's King, like in FourPlayerChess. Although the King holds immense importance in the game, its valuation at 20 points reflects the value of its capture, not its power in the game.
And here is some updates for pieces.
1) Marshal (Rook + Knight)
2) Sentinel (Bishop + Knight)
3) Warlord (King + Rook)
4) Paladin (King + Bishop)
5) General (Rook + King + Knight)
6) Chancellor (Bishop + King + Knight)
7) Valkyrie/Amazon (Queen + Knight)
8) Champion (King + Knight)
It already exists it’s the Amazon, and it’s actually worth 12 points
The new piece can move round 🌀 in a particular coloured square. As bishop, it can't move to an another coloured square.
