      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.

          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

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

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

        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

          The point of it was that it became a much bigger pain in the ass to win than it initially seemed. Also, your 19 moves is if you don’t mess up at all. If it gets stretched to 50 moves, it’s a stalemate.

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