- paulddraper 4y agoHa ha. On an only slightly more series note, "fairy chess" has a number of alternative chess pieces: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_chess https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_chess Amazon = queen + knight Chancellor = rook + knight Crowned Rook = rook + king Camel = knight that moves 1,3 Grasshopper = queen, but must jump over a piece and lands immediately past it Nightrider = knight, but moves unlimited in the same direction and many, many more
