Variant concept: Merge Chess

Sort:
HackerDragon9999

So basically, it's chess but you can merge your pieces.

Both players start with loads of pawns, but they won't stay pawns for long...

Capturing a friendly piece will merge those pieces. The merged piece will become a piece of that value, or, if no pieces of that value are used in the game, it will visually look like the pieces used to make it and act like its highest constituent.

Example of merges (The bishop has merged with the rook, and the pawn in red is about to merge with the pawn it's capturing.)
3-point (B/N) merges
5-point (R) merges
9-point (Q) merges
This is really dumb XD

where do you go to play?

HackerDragon9999

You can't play it, it's just a concept

can you show pictures of the merged pieces?

HackerDragon9999

it's just the regular pieces
For the intermediate merges, IDK, maybe just have a number on each piece showing how many points it is
(and when a piece gets to 3 pts the player chooses between bishop or knight)
This is such an old thread lol

so bishop and rook combined form a queen with the number 8 in the queen (cause 3 + 5 = 8)

like this

HackerDragon9999

no, a rook with the number 8, it doesnt turn into a queen until it gets to 9

DOTCOMNational

oh so when the 8-point rook captures a pawn it becomes a queen?

HackerDragon9999

yes
