Chess Alternatives


We have talked in class about chess as a metaphor for Feudalism in Medieval Europe. The history of the game is much older dating back to 7th century India. Over the years new pieces or 'alternatives' have been added to the board changing the game. Explain your new pieces here and how they changed the game. Was it harder or easier to win with your new piece? Which new piece was your favorite?
Comments:
My piece was the pope and moves the same as a bishop and a king fused.It was harder to win because we weren't used to there moves.the pony was our favorite piece because it looks cool.
