Chess Construction Kit


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. Which new piece was your favorite? Whose piece do you think would win: yours or your classmates?
Comments:
Anderson's suicide bomber would beet all of ours. because after 6 mover it blows up and takes every thing around it with in one square.

Next would be Hailey's mickey mouse. Because it can move horizontally and diagonally .
 
We think that the Dominating red hawk would win cause It can fly over any amount of spaces diagonally only on his color also when it lands it can act like a bomb and take out anybody who is at least one space around it. This powerful peace is worth 7 points. The others are the prince and also the holy grail. The prince can only move 2 spaces in any direction and the holy grail can only move sideways and up and down any amount of spaces.

[P.S use wisely cause you can only use the dominating red hawk once]
 
Jessica's piece is a Dungener and can never so in a straight line, has to land on a piece to capture and is limited to too spaces, worth 5 pts. Brandi's piece is the Explosive Bomb and it can leap 4 spaces, and can blow up 5 times. Alex's piece Anarchy sign and it can move any direction one space at a time. Ashton's piece leaps alot only moves 2 spaces on whatever color it is on, if it is next to a pawn or biship then automaticly takes it.Kalub's piece is a Car, it can move any direction, as mant times until the piece is blocked, it can capture and direction. I think that Kalub's piece would win because it has a lot of different moves.
 
Grumpy can move over one then diagonal, if he does not have a move, after going over one and back, he must surrinder. It would replace the Knight, it is from a cabin in greenland.Tony Hawk, He move over two and up two. He can be stuck with no moves. Tony can replace the Knight, because he is better then him, he came from Swiden. The archer can move diagnol , it replaces the bishop, the ida came from Lord of The Rings. Ou of these pieces, Grumpy would win.
 
Taylor's Psycho Path Monkey would beat ours because the Monkey can move left, right, forward and backward ones pace then one space diagonally.


David's Marshal would be the next best. It moves like a rook and a knight. It moves straight two spaces then has the option to go left or right one space.

They both are worth 3 points, and they can jump. Which makes both pieces have a great advantage being able to move more then one space at a time and being able to jump.

OBIWANS 3RD PERIOD
 
The snake would beat all the other pieces because it move in all directions quickly. This piece is worth 6 points.
 
Jeremy's piece the Toy Soldier can move 2 spaces in any direction. This means you can take out 2 pieces in one turn. One turn per game you can kill anyone in a 2 space radius. it replaces the rook, If taken by the opponent 5 points is awarded.
 
We think that Danny's piece would be the best because it can move in any direction but cant attack the king, queen, or bishop.
 
Our favorite piece in our group is Tiffany's Turtle.
It moves any direction and number of spaces
When it jumps,it has to equal 8.
But the disadvantage is that it can't jump.
It is worth 1 point.
It replaces the queen.
Chewbaccas Period 4.
 
Hanna's easter egg is the most powerful because it can move any were, it can only kill pieces 2 spots away, and can't jump.

elizabeth's sunny can move any direction up 2 seven spaces, can't kill the king, it can jump.

emily's trickster can move forward backward, sideways only once, only if they are killing some one, can't jump.
 
Jon's Piece, the Orc would beat all of our pieces, because it kills any Piece within a three square radius. It replaces the King and is worth the game. When you get the Orc the game is won.

The Smiley sun can only Move one space at time.
 
Miranda's lary the lama because it can spit across the bord and take out other pieces.


yours truly,
sky walkers!
 
My piece the Arnold Sworchinager is the best because it can attack from all directions.
 
The Golden Bomb
the golden bomb can move anywhere,anytime. if there is a free space on the oppoment's side you can go to the other side. but the chances are the golden bomb is gonna die.
