Overview
Chess Special Pieces is classic chess with expanded tactics: every piece gains an additional ability that reshapes calculation and changes the tempo of the game.
Piece abilities:
Rook — slides and pushes your own pieces along the line
Pawn — swaps with a friendly piece and jumps 2 squares forward, destroying the target
Queen — sacrifices herself to destroy any enemy piece (except the queen and king)
King — can teleport onto a square occupied by a friendly piece
Knight — gets an extra move after a capture
Bishop — becomes invulnerable to capture for one move after moving
This is not a simplification — it's an expansion. Familiar openings break down, new forks and zugzwang positions emerge, games become denser. Experienced players will have to recalculate their usual lines.
Play against the bot at three difficulty levels. Compete on the leaderboards: fastest win, fewest moves, longest streak.
The goal is classic — strike down the king. Only the method changes.
