And then they sac their knight for the diplomat. Leaving your opponent with the only diplomat on the board, giving them the advantage. Because of the diplomat's ability, I would value it the same as the queen, despite the lack of movement capabilities, it is an excellent piece because it can give you a significant material advantage without removing any piece from the board, as such you should protect it at all costs against long range pieces.

Others can often be played with the same set though

I would argue whether the move on 1:01 makes the pawn closer to the starting point of the opposing king. It is true geometrically speaking (if you simply measure distance between cell centers with a ruler), but in the metric of the board itself the central field is closer for a pawn to its target than the one on the side: the pawn can reach the destination from the center in 3 moves, but it takes at least 4 moves (5 if you're not allowed to return to the center) from the black field on the side. So, I think it's worth mentioning in the rules that 'closer' should be understood in the purely geometrical sense here.

Wow, cool Wololo reference

Need more info about the center. How many pieces can be placed there at the same time? Can you capture a piece that stayed in the center?

Holy crap! A new DLC for chess just dropped

I'm not actually good at chess but have a lot of fun playing around. A far easier way to use the diplomat would be: Take regular chess. Replace the two pawns in the middle of each player with a diplomat. A diplomat moves one step diagonally or forward and captures like a pawn. However, a capture replaces the diplomat with the captured piece of the other color, e.g. if a black diplomat captures a white knight, after capture you take the diplomat off the board and put a black knight on its place. This diplomat of course can check the king and capture en passant or be captured en passant.

“The horse has the same movement as the knight” Yeah, they’re the same.

Because in chess cavalry don't exist, the horses just know how to kick the enemy where it hurts to kill them, "sigma horse grindset" is what any knight in chess would tell ya when you ask them how they attack without cavalry.

it reminds me of that scene from starwars a new hope where they play some sort of board game with a board like this one

After checking out your channel, and seeing this game, I'm surprised you don't have a video explaining Dejarik (also called "holochess", the holographic chess game played in Star Wars).

my favorite part was when the diplomat said "it's subornin' time" and suborned all over those guys. truly one of the chess variants of all time.

Now I just need a Wookie to play with ! I've heard they are great sports !

Does anyone know if it's possible to play this variant online?

Do you know where I might get pieces to play? The ones that flip to the opposite color.

I like this variant a lot more than Star Trek chess. I feel it trains better for orbital combat, especially with bishops and rook movement around the rings.

Why can the knight/horse move to the center when it is standing on the outer ring? Isn't that too far away? Or does the center count as an adjacent field, so the knight moves technically to its left/right?

@MrKillerMichael

2 жыл бұрын

It gets a little weird how it's worded, but the center "square" is considered diagonally, beside, and immediately forward of every adjacent square. So the knight would move 2 squares twards the center, and 1 square 'into' the center, into acting as if the knight changed directions.

Checkmate sounds so easy now. When its a King and Rook/Bishop vs Lone King, just put the Rook and he Bishop in the center and its a quick game over.

I was wondering why you called it a horse.

I think the last part of the rules is a bit wrong. I think he meant if the same move is repeated by the same player 3 times in a row as the only move that player can take, then the game is a draw.

Is there such a thing as Hexagonal Chess? Like normal chess except the board grid is made of Hexagons instead of squares? Cuz I feel like some cool things could be done with that.

The pawn capture rules are a bit unclear. Let's say you are on space A, and could move to space B, but neighboring space B is space C, with a piece you could capture. From A to B gets closer to the front, but from B to C is further away. Is capturing from A to C a legal move?

@09jjohns

Yes. If you look at the diagram drawn when explaining pawn captures, one of the lines does point back towards that player's own starting side. As long as the target piece is adjacent to both your pawn AND to a space that pawn could legally move, it can capture there.

Because it wasn't mentioned, I assume that the diplomat can be hit/taken the same way as any other piece (apart from the king) can. Also, does one win by turning the enemy king against his own people?

I heavilly doubt it would be broken, its movement being the same as the king would make it slow AF and just as easy (if not easier) to capture as the king, though if it did get into the range of an enamy piece it could give you an advantage by converting, you likely won't ever convert a rook or bishop to your side, maybe a knight if your lucky, and the dream of a suborned pawn promoting just makes the diplomat's mouth water at the thought although it would probably never happen.
