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

Nobody knows how the horsey moves anyway so...

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As best piece, horsey attacks all squares it moves through, because it's a horse and it's charging.

Think, noobs.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 21 hours ago

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

I mean Tbf it is a checkmate in 4.chess be like

[–] odium@programming.dev 57 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The mythical move where you combine bishop and horsey into a queen?

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 23 points 1 day ago

Knishop, yeah I've heard of the move. I believe it's just a legend though

[–] Supervivens@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I thought it was a pawn :P

[–] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 day ago

This post is about gaslighting and I'm pretty sure, it always was a pawn. Always.

[–] Supervivens@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 16 hours ago

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.

[–] odium@programming.dev 6 points 1 day ago

Nah, white clearly has advantage here.

[–] CaptObvious 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It’s checkmate in one. I’d probably resign and move on to the next game.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Zoom in on the pieces. You're seeing them wrong.

[–] CaptObvious 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Oh my. You’re right. Sorry about that

At least I’m in good company :)

[–] odium@programming.dev 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

yes, it's mate in 1 if you perform knishop fusion and combine horsey and bishop into a Queen on the white square next to the white king.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just move King to the one open spot diagonal to Knight, and the move Queen to the spot King just left.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There is no queen in the picture

[–] thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz 7 points 1 day ago

omg I thought the black king was a queen, and it looks like everyone else did too!
