    If you're an experienced chess player who intends to teach a beginner, I think it's a great idea to play some of these "weird-pieces chess". It gives you an appreciation of just how much mental energy it takes for a beginner even just to register that a move is possible. Maybe it will help you pace your teaching better.
    As usual, Ben Finegold puts it best: (and I'm summarising here)
    > I'm not a fan of Dvoretsky per-se... The reason people aren't good are very simple reasons... I play there winning their Queen and they're like what? It's not because of what Dvoretsky says, "look at this 700-move combination where you're slightly better" that doesn't matter... They can't see one move ahead; they don't know when they're in check; they don't know whose move it is. That's the kind of chess book you should write, like "Whose turn is it?", "How many legal moves do you have?" That's how you get better at chess.
    Harsh but true.

    Capablanca invented a chess variant with the same special pieces, but they start on the board already which is expanded to 80 squares.
    In my opinion, the queen is still generally the best piece followed by the hawk and then the elephant. The hawk being able to mate a king in the corner with no assistance is actually crazy, but I think still not enough to make it better than a queen. Unless Yasser says differently.

    • @347Jimmy
      @347Jimmy Рік тому +1

      Idk what Yasser says about it, but hear me out here:
      Indeed, being able to mate unassisted is crazy, but the Hawk lacks the ability to force the King into a corner the way a Rook could
      So it's gonna be weaker in endgame for the same reason that mating with a Bishop and Knight is tricky
      I could be way off here, but that's my guess

    • @danielyuan9862
      @danielyuan9862 Рік тому

      Why is a hawk better than an elephant? If you remove the knight movements it's just a bishop vs a rook. I do understand that the bishop no longer has the single color weakness, but there's no way that would make it _that_ much more powerful.
      I'm sorry, but I find your opinion objectively wrong.

    Yasser has an in depth video (I believe on the chessbrah channel) explaining some of his schess theory. In it, he talks about the relative value of the hawk and elephant. If my memory is correct, I believe he argues the hawk is slightly weaker than the queen or worth roughly 7 pawns, whereas the elephant is just has strong, if not stronger, than the queen, roughly worth 9-10 pawns

    If queen is a bishop+rook, and it's cost is bishop's 3 + rook's 5 + fusion's 1 = 9,
    then elephant is prob the same but -1 as less manuverable (8),
    and hawk is horse's 3 + bishop's 3 + fusion's 1 = 7. What do you think about it?

    • @parzival2114

      In my experience Elephant ≈ 8.5 and Hawk ≈ 7.5.
      But on larger boards the Bishop is worth more than the horse (4pc) in my opinion Queen = 9.5 Chancellor ≈ 7.75-8 Archbishop 7.
      For example Rook on 8x8 board =5, General (King (3)+ Knight (3) ) worth 5.75-6.
      But in 4pc board or similar Rook (long range) Can move on 26 squares, General (short range) always 16 squares, in this situation Rook (5)> general (4.25)> Bishop (3.75-4)
      In endgames General better, is a defensive piece instead the Rook is better in Middle game and is a atack piece.

    @JKBrown-vv1yw Рік тому +1

    Hawk is a weak name to me. In a similar format I've heard it called the Archbishop. Seems on point!
    Also in my head:
    KnRook: 6 points
    KnBishop: 7 points
    The queen is still the best piece. The reason I rank it this way is because the KnRook doesn't have the combo potential to make it worth more. It's a rook that can show up on the 8th rank very unexpectedly and is good at fighting closed/early games, but is little more than a rook in the endgame.
    KnBishops however, are much more nasty. They naturally dominate the center of the board in a way the KnRook just can't handle. Plus, it's a bishop that functions strong in both closed AND open games, and it always has a battery option as long as a single pawn stands on the board. PLUS, as soon as the g pawn is pushed in a King-side castle, the KnBishop becomes pure death on the f3/f6 square.

    A simple question who is better Wildebeest (Camel + Knight) or Rook. I think that the Rook is better in large boards like XXL Chess (5.25) Wildebeest (4.5) But in 8x8 or 10x 8 board are ≈ equal. Rook (5) control 14 squares and Wildebeest (4.75) until 16 more frecuent 12 and on corner 4. Rook is more versatile and useful in endgames But in Middle game Wildebeest is more tricky But is vulnerable to diagonal and file atack and endgame is a bit dumb on stop a passed pawns.

      yea, a queen does still seem a little bit stronger than the others. Full board control + control of all 8 squares around her is extremely useful especially for checkmates.
      No idea how strong hte other pieces are though. Definitely more than 6 but less than 9 if I had to say. Hawk is probably stronger than 7 if I had to guess, maybe like a 7.5? idk, who knows.

    • @cmck362
      @cmck362 Рік тому +1

      @@eragon78 Maybe. I kept them at whole numbers because they look nicer. Definitely think it goes queen > elephant > hawk though. I judged them by how well they did against a king on the side of the board. A defended queen can mate all by herself. A defended elephant can stalemate the king. A hawk can't do either. Hawk seems to be a really good supporting piece, but not quite the heavy hitters that the rook and its combinations are.

    • @eragon78
      @eragon78 Рік тому +2

      @@cmck362 A hawk can mate a king all on its own actually I think. If a king is in a corner, say A1, and the hawk is on C3, thats checkmate assuming no other pieces are around. The hawk covers A1 and B2 by bishop moves, and B1 and A2 with Knight moves while also being out of the king's range.
      But yea, that said I do think the Hawk is still the worst one as its a little tricky to use. Its probably a little better than the Elephant in the mid-game, but I would imagine its worse in the endgame. Having a bishop's movement in the midgame is a lot better than a rook's, but once you remove a lot of the pawns and the board opens up more, rook moves are very strong and rooks cover better squares all at once as it can shut down entire files easily cutting the king off.
      But yea, its still a tricky thing to say. We probably wouldnt be able to figure it out unless someone actually ran it through a proper engine for a dedicated period of time and see what the engine thinks.
      Another thing to consider though is that while the hawk is a bishop, its also a bishop that can change what color squares its on. Even ignoring the other utility of the knight moves, that makes it stronger than a normal bishop being able to switch whether its on the light squares or dark squares.
