what would you rather?

Sort:
timmaylivinalie

along with just a king, who would you take to battle:

-queen

-two rooks

-rook, knight/bishop, pawn

-two bishops, one knight or two knights, one bishop

-eight pawns and ur mom

-or really any other combination of pieces whose value adds to nine

now, besides the two rooks, what combo of value nine would you rather face wit ur army

yes i realize that starting with an equal worth of pieces is what the game starts at however in this imaginary endgame it's ur choice so don't gimme lip.

of note, ur moms worth one fyi.

i thought writing that in the post would avoid annoying responses, i was wrong.

I was referring to your list of what to take into battle, actually :P

how did i know you were gonna respond with that. oh, i know, i just thought of the most anal response possible and whata ya know.

so let me be *expletive* clear, apart from two rooks VALUE 10 choose ur army of value 9 to fight for and against you.

 

i also said in the post not to give me lip.

I'd prefer going into battle with 9 queens. That makes for some powerful coordinated attacks.

maybe they should make "conditional posts" for these sorts of situations. 

i think it would be fun to play 8 pawns and my mom vs. two bishops and three pawns.  probably a hard win, but it would be so unusual it would be fun.

Your mom is worth one point? Don't tell her that.

my mom would be the ringer.  i didn't give her just one point, i just found a loophole.  (think i am safe if she reads this?)
