NAMES AND PICTURES OF CHESS PIECES UPDATE

Jumping over other pieces for this 3-point piece is compulsory. It only moves one square diagonally - and why is it worth 1 point of exchange?! It means 'In the direction of the rook.' Another word for this is orthogonally. Range: 1-13 on rook uses, 2-1 on knight usesĬan jump over other pieces: Only on knight uses It is notated 'E' because its former name was 'Elephant'.ĭirection: N, S, E, W, NNE, ENE, ESE, SSE, SSW, WSW, WNW, NNW It moves rookways*, moves like a knight, and jumps on knight uses. If you still don't believe me, then D will be vacant. Well, at least I think D stands for DAME, so it does not get TOO confusing. If you do not believe me, then you'll see why I used a D. Note: Many people think that I am wrong with D as a 1-point-queen because it is actually represented by a Q.

Range: 3 squares forwards, one to the side (4 total)įact: These stay on the same square colour! 3 points of exchange.ĭirection: NNNE, NENE, SESE, SSSE, SSSW, SWSW, NWNW, NNNW, ENNE, EENE, EESE, ESSE, WSSW, WWSW, WWNW, WNNW It moves 3 squares forward and 1 to the side. The NORTH is at YELLOW's side, and SOUTH at RED's side. * Note: The compass points are used, to enhance what I am saying. Range: 1-13 for queen uses, 2-1 for knight usesĬan jump over other pieces: Only on Knight uses It looks like a knight in a queen's crown - and it has a whopping exchange of 12!ĭirection*: N, S, E, W, NE, SE, SW, NW, NNE, ENE, ESE, SSE, SSW, WSW, WNW, NNW It can zoom Up, Down, to the Sides and Diagonally! It can also make knight moves - L SHAPED movements (2 forward, 1 to the side), and when it is used as a knight, it jumps over other pieces! It can't if it is used as a queen, though. You may think the QUEEN is the most powerful, but guess what? The AMAZON is the most powerful in these fairy pieces. Note: this forum uses the NEO style pieces. (Note: The easier way is to SHIFT-CLICK on pieces, which will show how each piece moves) (This forum is recommended if you are not playing a game with these fairy pieces, but if you are playing a game, I recommend SHIFT-CLICKING on them.)įigure 1: Shift-clicking really shows how these pieces move. But I can only show you the existing pieces. Each will have their own explanation and stats. Then I am going to teach you about the pawns, I will be teaching about them in the Greek letter order. I am going to teach you about the large pieces first, in alphabetical order.

Shadowmoon_KE said that it was an update in 4PC, and I think he/she is right. I am going to be teaching you all about the fairy pieces. Note that Shift-clicking on pieces actually shows how they move!
