  • Sorry for the text, it is a bit fast. The designs for the fairy pieces are outdated and they redesigned it recently. I personally like the newer design more but it will take some time to get used to. If you have any video idea suggestions about chess or fairy chess and fairy pieces, feel free to reply to this comment.
    Websites/programs/apps used to make the video: chess.com and CapCut.

    The dragon knight can switch places with its own teammate's square space and when a piece eats the dragon knight the piece will be ignited by the dragon because obviously eating a dragon would literally mean ur eating a pebble of coal I cased within has a burning fire inside 😅

      Ironically, the ‘dragon knight’ is less powerful than a normal knight as it can be blocked. Btw, I just came up with these names and it’s called that because it had the dragon scales on the back. You can check out my other video where I explain the movement of this piece: ua-cam.com/video/FceEw01UUpk/v-deo.html

    Amazon (A) = WWFFN
    Queen + Knight, officially worth 11~12 points. This piece isn't commonly used due to its immense power; one variant it's seen in is Musketeer Chess.
    Chancellor (E), also known as Marshall or Empress = WWN
    Rook + Knight, officially worth about 8.75~9 points. This piece is seen in Almost Chess, Grand Chess, Chess on a Really Big Board, and others.
    Archbishop (H), also known as Cardinal or Princess = FFN
    Bishop + Knight, officially worth about 7~7.5 points. This piece is seen in Grand Chess, Chess on a Really Big Board, and others.
    General (M), also known as Centaur = WFN
    Mann (king but unrestricted by check) + Knight. This piece is seen in Renniassance Chess [sic].
    Camel (C) = C
    (1,3)-leaper, worth about 2.5 points because it's colourbound. This piece is seen in Wildebeest Chess and others.
    Wildebeest (V), also known as Gnu = NC
    Knight + Camel. This piece is seen in Wildebeest Chess.
    Grasshopper (G) = gQ
    Essentially a queen, but it needs a screen (a piece within its path) to be able to move, worth about 2 points as it is almost useless at the end of the game. This piece is seen in Grasshopper Chess.
    Ferz (F) = F
    A bishop limited to one square, worth about 1.5 points as this piece can be useful in the opening, but its value diminishes towards the endgame. This piece used to take the place of the queen if I'm not mistaken.
    Wazir (W) = W
    A rook limited to one square, worth about 1.25 points.
    Alfil (I) = A
    A bishop limited to exactly two squares of movement, jumping intervening pieces, worth about 0.75 points as it is triple-colourbound, only able to reach 1/8 of the board.
    Dababba (S) = D
    A rook limited to exactly two squares of movement, jumping intervening pieces, worth about 1 point as it's double-colourbound, only able to reach 1/4 of the board.
    Alibaba (Y) = DA
    Alfil + Dababba, worth about 1.5~2 points due to slightly increased mobility, though it's still double-colourbound.
    XiangQi Horse (U) = (mW-F)
    Identical to the Horse in XiangQi, this piece is similar to the knight, but it can be blocked; specifically, this piece moves one square orthogonally to a vacant square, followed by one square diagonally outwards, capturing any opponent piece on that square. This is worth about 2.5 points due to its ability to be blocked.
    Berolina (α) = mfFcefWimfnA
    Basically an inverted pawn, can move forwards diagonally and capture straight forwards. It can move two squares on its first move, and it can be captured _en passant_ by another pawn upon doing so. This piece is worth about 1.25 points, slightly more than a pawn due to its increased mobility. This piece is seen in Berolina Chess (where pawns are replaced with Berolinas).
    Soldier (β) = fWcefWimfnD
    Basically the Shogi pawn, moving and capturing straight forward. Unlike the Shogi pawn, it can move (but not capture) two steps forward on its first move, and it can be captured _en passant_ by another pawn upon doing so. Worth about 0.75 points.
    Nightrider (O) = NN
    Probably my favourite fairy piece besides maybe the Gryphon and the Rose (neither of which are seen in Chess.com), this is basically a knight that can go an infinite number of knight-moves in one direction, so long as its path isn't blocked (as seen in the video where d6 blocked the check on the king on e8 from the nightrider on c4). This piece is worth about 4.75~5 points, almost as powerful as the rook.
    Camel-rider (L) = CC
    Basically the nightrider but with camel-moves, this is worth about 3.5 points, less than the nightrider because it's colourbound, and its long range makes it less useful on an 8X8 board.
    Alfil-rider (J) = AA
    A bishop that is limited to moving an even number of squares, but can jump every other square, worth about 1~1.25 points.
    Dababba-rider (T) = DD
    A rook that is limited to moving an even number of squares, but can jump every other square, worth about 1.25 points.
    Alibaba-rider (Z) = DDAA
    A queen that is limited to moving an even number of squares, but can jump every other square, worth about 2.75~3 points.
    Dragon Bishop (Δ) = FF(mW-F)
    Bishop + XiangQi Horse, worth about 6.75 points, only slightly less than the archbishop due to its increased ability to be blocked.
    Stone General (γ) = fFcefFimfnA
    Basically the Stone General seen in Shogi, this is a pawn that moves and captures forwards diagonally. Unlike the Shogi Stone General, this stone general can move (but not capture) two steps on its first move, and it can be captured _en passant_ by another pawn after upon so. This is worth about the same as a pawn, maybe just slightly higher (1.1~1.25).
    Sergeant (δ) = fWcefWfFcefFimfnDimfnA
    Soldier + Stone General, initial double-step moving and _en passant_ also apply to this piece. This is worth about 1.5 points.

    Ok, so I left a comment here about 7 months ago that basically laid out each piece in a nutshell; however, I recently found a somewhat simple algorithm to calculate the values of different chess pieces (I used a spreadsheet for the calculations). This obviously isn't going to be 100% accurate for every piece, but I thought I'd put these down anyway.
    The values listed below are for an 8x8 board, where pawns start on the second rank and promote on the far rank. Values are rounded to 5 significant figures.
    For reference, here are the values of the orthodox chess pieces according to the algorithm:
    Pawn - 1.0000
    Knight - 3.0000
    Bishop - 3.3750
    Rook - 5.0000
    Queen - 8.3750
    Mann (non-royal king) - 3.7500
    And here are the fairy chess pieces:
    Amazon - 11.375
    Chancellor - 8.0000
    Archbishop - 6.3750
    General - 6.7500
    Camel - 2.5000
    Wildebeest - 5.5000
    Grasshopper - 1.5000 (

    • @ItsSkyWasTaken
      @ItsSkyWasTaken Рік тому +2

      ​@@ElektroMagnetizm These are basically mobility scores; the formula just looks at how many squares each piece can control from each square and compared the values to that of a pawn. Obviously, mobility isn't the only factor when determining piece value, so the formula definitely isn't 100% reliable (as seen by the value of the Alibaba compared to the Knight), but still thought it was cool enough to share.
      Real flaws include not taking colour-bound weaknesses into account and stating that hybrid pieces have a value equal to the sum of their base pieces (e.g. "Queen = Rook + Bishop", though we know the accepted value is 9 and not 8). Obviously, a Knight is generally going to be better than an Alibaba as the knight can reach all 64 squares given any starting position (in one or more moves); whereas, an Alibaba can only get to 16 from a given starting position (only 1/4 of the board!).

Like it is the 8 closest squares where a queen cannot reach that is made into squares a knight can reach...

      If you consider a 5x5 box with queen at the centre, there will only be 8 squares the queen cannot reach in the next move. That's exactly where the knight can reach.
      All I wanted to say is that the L shape movement is not as Random as it sounds. There is a really logical explanation as to why it is as it is.
