Knight's vests are super useful. they can: -let bishops change the color they're on -let the queen checkmate without any support -get pieces over pawn chains -allow your king to trap an enemy king against a wall or corner in some endgames, without the help of other pieces (rooks can also trap kings in the corners with it)

I like this better than Chess Plus as it doesn't centralize the gameplay around absorbing moves. It doesn't derail the game too much but its still on a different track.
This is a chess variant that actually seems to add something meaningful. Other variants I've seen wind up being extremely convoluted in attempts to be unique, while this is a simple addition that adds another level of strategy. It uses the familiar shapes of chess unlike some other variants, so there is not any need to learn to recognize the potential moves of 4 new pieces. Not to mention it slightly discourages trading as the last piece to capture winds up with a vest, which alters chess strategy in a subtle but very real way.

Y’all ever just brutally murder your opponent’s knight and rip his horse’s flesh off to use as a one-time ticket to move over one unnecessary pawn? Yeah, me neither.
2:38 "Promoted pieces may not gain a pawn vest upon promotion." Does this apply if a pawn had used a vest move to reach its own back line and was captured in the promoting move?
I wonder a piece that captured opponent's rook on a square which is the original sqaure of its friendly rook can castle or not. For example, white bishop may capture black rook on a1 square and gain a vest move of the rook. Can that bishop castle?
@@oguzhanyigit1326 I would think in the same way, but one fact confuses me. Initial two step vest move of the pawn is respected when it is in the second row, even though it is not the actual initial move of the piece.
Yeah, I was wondering why castling wasn’t mentioned, then I realized that a piece with a vest can never have castling privileges anyway. I do remember a puzzle where you could castle with a newly promoted pawn, which would create questions for this variant, but they ruled that that was illegal when it was discovered back in 1972.
This game makes it possible for the queen to become even more powerful then she is because she can get a knights vest. The only move set she does not have in a normal game.
If a piece has the pawn vest, will every pawn move be able to check a king (e.g. double step move, one step forward) or only the move you use for capturing (diagonal move)?
Pawn can only capture diagonally; any piece in front of it blocks its forward movement. A pawn can't check a king right in front of it. Therefore the same applies to pieces wearing a pawn vest which cannot normally move forward.
@@darknessdarkrai4549 No it doesn't The video specifies the 'regular' 2 row step applies every time a pawn is on its starting (second) row.

@@user-jn4sw3iw4h Good question. I also wonder if a pawn on the first row has an "assasinate king ability" which instantly wins the game. The video discusses what happens with checks and checkmates, but doesn't explicitly mention this case.

If I were playing, I'd have to assume that yes, it has this ability.
It’s very cool to see all these commercial variants of chess instead I’d looking through a 900 page wiki on every varient and wondering if you could play them
Little detail: I don't think he said you are allowed to change your mind and remove a vest you haven't used yet, and this could potentially be a problem in some extreme cases (like for example when, in regular chess, you promote a pawn to queen and instantly end in stalemate, while if you promoted to something else you could have won; with a similar reasoning, I think you might sometimes find it convenient to "lose some priviledges").
Well yeah because 1) your opponent could always just blunder a piece to the king 2) they might be forced to sac a piece in order to not lose material 3) its quite common in endgames for kings to capture lots of pieces, mainly pawns
At first I thought you mean the queen-vests, but then I saw it. I think these are there in case you want to play different rules like „you must capture every opponents pice“ or „you start with a vest on every pawn“ or so on
@@T101G But a king vest would be acquiredby capturing a king, not by the king capturing a piece. The kind of vest is determined by the captured piece, but capturing kings is not usually a part of the game.
0:13 So, if you looked at the video carefully, you could see there are KING VESTS. You can play as the rules shown if this ever happens: For example, it wouldn’t be checkmate if a queen protected by a bishop’s attack on the king would be protected by a rook and queen. If it is the “prevented checkmate” or “protected checkmate,” winning person goes first, who must capture the king (illegal move if not), the queen or rook will capture the piece that captured king, bishop captures, rook captures, and rook will be given the king vest. Exceptions: Regardless of if a Vest Move happened, the piece with the king vest may NOT take it off. If that were to happen, it would be checkmate because there were no king. Like a pawn or queen vest, it can be awarded to any piece except for itself. A queen may still take the vest because like I said, it would be checkmate if not. Like the piece were to be a regular king, if any of its king moves (any of the adjacent squares other than the square of the piece), or any other move is an illegal move, the game is a stalemate. Therefore, it is a draw. In a vested piece to an opponent’s king endgame, the following rules must be followed: 1. If the vested piece is a queen or rook, it is an immediate win for the color of the vested queen or rook. 2.1. If the king-vested piece is a pawn, it can run to the other side until it is at the far rank. When the far rank is reached, a rook or queen vest is added to the king vest on top of it. This results in the same ending as the first scenario. 2.2. If the same scenario is present but the other king threatens all pawn moves and capturing spaces, it is a draw by stalemate. If the opponent king threatens one capturing space and the normal pawn movement, the vested king can perform an “illegitimate capture;” when the vested pawn moves to the capturing space that is NOT a threatened by the king. 3. If the king-vested piece is a knight or bishop, it is a draw based on insufficient materials to checkmate. 4. If both ending pieces are king-vested, this results in the same ending as the third scenario. 5. If this is the first (or second) scenario, the two players can offer a draw or one can offer a resignation.
What if a pawn uses a vest move to capture an enemy piece on the back row, say, knight? Would it be pawn uses vest to capture knight, plunders knight, gets knight vest, promotes and the vest is transferred? Or do I have the order of operations wrong
A queen exchange often results in one of the queens being taken by the king. In particular, you have variants of e4 e5 d4 d5 dxe5 dxe4 Qxd8+ Kxd8, which are common enough (especially among beginners), but in this version are no longer advantageous for the side that begins the exchange (in this case, white).
@@mirciefova9927 then there is no way to get king vest, unless there are two+ kings as well as the rule is do not lose both kings (if one of them is alive then fine)
Idea: infinity chess. The goal of the game is to use your king to defeat all of the other pieces and gain their powers. The catch is once the king gets a vest, they can use it for the rest of the game. If the king is captured at any point the king loses but if the king gets all 5 vests, the king wins
Presumably because castling is a special case. Regular chess lets you move out of check but not castle out of check. Sure, using a vest move lets you temporarily pass through a checked square, but you’re not ending your turn in check. Think of it this way: (1) You can never end your turn in check. (2) You can never castle “under pressure,” i.e., when any of the spaces involved for your king is under attack.
I have a question So to wear a vest you must capture a piece right ? And to play a double step move with a pawn vest it must of been your first move . So how to play a double step move while you already moved to capture a piece ?

The knight vest lets her cover an entire 5x5 area, which can be incredibly powerful for checkmating.

If a piece has the pawn vest, will every pawn move be able to check a king (e.g. double step move, one step forward) or only the move you use for capturing (diagonal move)?

Pawn can only capture diagonally; any piece in front of it blocks its forward movement. A pawn can't check a king right in front of it. Therefore the same applies to pieces wearing a pawn vest which cannot normally move forward.
The definition of check is that there is a threat of capturing the king next turn. Nothing mentioned in the video contradicts that definition.

You can only jump in an L-shape
0:13 So, if you looked at the video carefully, you could see there are KING VESTS. You can play as the rules shown if this ever happens:
For example, it wouldn’t be checkmate if a queen protected by a bishop’s attack on the king would be protected by a rook and queen. If it is the “prevented checkmate” or “protected checkmate,” winning person goes first, who must capture the king (illegal move if not), the queen or rook will capture the piece that captured king, bishop captures, rook captures, and rook will be given the king vest.
Exceptions:
Regardless of if a Vest Move happened, the piece with the king vest may NOT take it off. If that were to happen, it would be checkmate because there were no king.
Like a pawn or queen vest, it can be awarded to any piece except for itself. A queen may still take the vest because like I said, it would be checkmate if not. Like the piece were to be a regular king, if any of its king moves (any of the adjacent squares other than the square of the piece), or any other move is an illegal move, the game is a stalemate. Therefore, it is a draw.
In a vested piece to an opponent’s king endgame, the following rules must be followed:
1. If the vested piece is a queen or rook, it is an immediate win for the color of the vested queen or rook.
2.1. If the king-vested piece is a pawn, it can run to the other side until it is at the far rank. When the far rank is reached, a rook or queen vest is added to the king vest on top of it. This results in the same ending as the first scenario.
2.2. If the same scenario is present but the other king threatens all pawn moves and capturing spaces, it is a draw by stalemate. If the opponent king threatens one capturing space and the normal pawn movement, the vested king can perform an “illegitimate capture;” when the vested pawn moves to the capturing space that is NOT a threatened by the king.
3. If the king-vested piece is a knight or bishop, it is a draw based on insufficient materials to checkmate.
4. If both ending pieces are king-vested, this results in the same ending as the third scenario.
5. If this is the first (or second) scenario, the two players can offer a draw or one can offer a resignation.

@@mirciefova9927 then there is no way to get king vest, unless there are two+ kings as well as the rule is do not lose both kings (if one of them is alive then fine)
serious: just check one
not-serious: capture a king
I like to call it "Chess, but you can steal SOULS!"
Wait, how does one acquire the King vest shown in 0:11?
for some alternate rule set where presumably the objective is not checkmate
At 0:12 you can see a king vest
how are you supposed to get that?
Swag
Idea: infinity chess. The goal of the game is to use your king to defeat all of the other pieces and gain their powers. The catch is once the king gets a vest, they can use it for the rest of the game. If the king is captured at any point the king loses but if the king gets all 5 vests, the king wins
0:21 Why is there a king vest💀
Swag 😎😎😎😎😎
3:27 I laughed so hard when he explained this!!! 🤣
Does the double-step move from the pawn vest apply from the second rank, or the piece's starting square?
A piece with a pawn vest may move two spaces forward at any time
Just curious why can you with a vest slide through check but not castle with a vest through check?
Presumably because castling is a special case. Regular chess lets you move out of check but not castle out of check. Sure, using a vest move lets you temporarily pass through a checked square, but you’re not ending your turn in check.
Think of it this way: (1) You can never end your turn in check. (2) You can never castle “under pressure,” i.e., when any of the spaces involved for your king is under attack.
why does the king vest exist?
For the corner king version
I have a question
So to wear a vest you must capture a piece right ? And to play a double step move with a pawn vest it must of been your first move . So how to play a double step move while you already moved to capture a piece ?
Condition for double pawn move is being on rank 2.
So um a wueen with a knight vest can checkamte as long as it is protected
it does not even need to be protected
and a bishop/knight combo can also mate by itself
Whats the point of king vest?
There's a two king variant where you can capture one and checkmate the other.
If there's a vest move, are there also vorst moves?
Queen with knight vest (or vice versa) be like : I’m the most powerful piece
Why there are king vests you cannot capture the king
There's a two king variant where you can capture the first king.
How would you get a king vest?
How do you get a king vest?

Please do the Gigamic Classics series, Games in the series => Modern Classics =
Quixo, Quoridor, Squadro, Pylos, Quantik, Quarto
Other games in the series = Gobblet, Gyges, Skybridge, Quads (made by Kris Burm, the inventor of GIPF series of games), Quits, Ballast, Bataclan, Quivive, Sahara, Sputnik (Reimplementation of Quivive), Zenix, Inside, Eclipse, Batik
The first 6 games are also part of the Modern Classics, and those 6 games are only ones in the Classics series still published by Gigamic (The Classics section in their website only mention those 6 games), so that's why I separated them from the other 14 (Classics series can be found in Board Game Geek)
What's with the king vest?
Is it okay if I change a few rules of the game like most videos that I watch if I have the game to be exact
What's that king plunder
1:26 okay but why is the knight so...
So you can put the vest on
How does one get a king vest?
Still trying to figure out what is the kings vest
00:10 why plunder chess made a king vest?
Why is there a king vest? (purple)
How do you get a king vest if you can’t capture the king
The queen with the knight vest or the knight with the queen vest is the amazon fairy piece
2:19 imagine a pawn with a rook plunder
THIS IS INSANE YOOOO
Vest moves are interesting in Plunder Chess.
2:43 No vest promotion, darn.
Wait... why are there king vests?
Ya because if you capture (checkmate) a king then it is gameover
So there is no point of it unless it can have an extra life
I only have 1 question left, if you are a rook and u have a pawn vest, if u just move one step forward would that count as a pawn move or a rook move?
both
The only move in that case that can use up the pawn vest is en passant
Ok so? What if you promote the piece with a vest move and captures a piece?
