Nobody knows how the horsey moves anyway so...

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 25 points 5 months ago (1 children)

As best piece, horsey attacks all squares it moves through, because it's a horse and it's charging.

Think, noobs.

Is there a variation of the game like that? And that includes both sides' pieces, right? There is a case of making a piece too powerful for its own good.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

There is kind of the opposite in Chinese Chess. The field the horsey jumps over has to be empty. And I use the singular because it moves one orthogonal and one diagonal so it's only one field that has to be empty

I mean Tbf it is a checkmate in 4.chess be like

[–] odium@programming.dev 59 points 5 months ago (2 children)

The mythical move where you combine bishop and horsey into a queen?

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 23 points 5 months ago

Knishop, yeah I've heard of the move. I believe it's just a legend though

[–] Supervivens@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I thought it was a pawn :P

[–] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That's a bishop, not a pawn, but regardless, I don't imagine that white has much of a chance

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 5 months ago

This post is about gaslighting and I'm pretty sure, it always was a pawn. Always.

[–] Supervivens@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Ok when the bishop is actually a bishop it’s checkmate in 19 instead so I suppose white holds on for longer at least? chess 2.0

Just put it in lichess and see how hopeless it's for white.

[–] odium@programming.dev 7 points 5 months ago

Nah, white clearly has advantage here.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 10 points 5 months ago

What you fail to see is, that the white king owns those two horses.

[–] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It’s checkmate in one. I’d probably resign and move on to the next game.

[–] odium@programming.dev 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

yes, it's mate in 1 if you perform knishop fusion and combine horsey and bishop into a Queen on the white square next to the white king.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Just move King to the one open spot diagonal to Knight, and the move Queen to the spot King just left.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

There is no queen in the picture

[–] thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz 7 points 5 months ago

omg I thought the black king was a queen, and it looks like everyone else did too!
