Yes, you can say that again :)
Why is horsy a horsy and not knight? Also it seems king can take
King canโt take because a bishop is looking in her direction from half a mile away.
The king could take the queen though, unless thereโs something else going on we canโt see.
Fun fact Chess was under constant revision for a long period after its creation. After though people started gate keeping it and preventing changes. So who knows, maybe a better storyline existed or should of existed?
There is Duke Chess
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/124123/dukes-chess
A chess variant that provides a larger board (8x9) and adds another piece to the standard chess set: The Duke.
The Duke can move 1, 2 or 3 spaces in any direction but is unable to capture in any adjacent space but can capture in the subsequent 2 or 3 spaces beyond that. The Duke may also jump over pieces to bypass them.
The Duke starts at the Kingโs side, opposite the Queen.
Is this โRa4โ everyone is talking about?
