me and my mate, played a game of chess on sunday. . . .he isnt very good (bless his poor soul)

eventually i became bored of thrashing him, so i made up a new rule,
the queen can play a knights move, try it. Its quite fun, and the game seems to go quite quick!

Didn't somebody already do this? It's a "new" way to play chess, and the piece you are talking about already has a name.

I can't think of the name, right now. I want to say the "chancellor" or the "countess" but I don't think either one of those is correct.

Yeah. Read Alice Through the Looking Glass and play out the whole game as a war.

how about pitching 2 knights against 8 pawns? i used to play that when i was at school-could be rather tricky at times. then there's "suicide chess" - playing to loose...

Yes...the rook to also move like a bishop. Would really help in an end game.

loOl, it has happened to me before, i was playing against a friend, and he thought the queen could do everything! moves like a Knight!

He was getting his ass kicked, till now i have a feeling that he knows that queens cannot play knight moves, maybe just to give an excuse to his friends 😛
