Who'd like to try a chess variant? Now playing Xiang Qi, a.k.a. Chinese chess — Page 9

Can I just say that while the Nutty Knights are theoretically equal, I don't like their moves as much.  I like a lot of symmetry in chess (not necessarily in shogi), and these pieces seem far more arbitrary in their moves than the Colorbound Clobberrers.  I know Betza was trying to follow the theories of piece value he laid out in that link I gave you earlier, but the Knights are just really weird.

No, you can't say it. ;)

I'll say whatever I darn well please!

C-c4 if you moved the one on e3. If you moved the one on c1, then C-g6.

My apologies, I meant the one on c1.

I need to keep a better eye on those pawns.

Well, I obviously didn't plan that too well.

Not that obviously. It might have been better to move a different pawn, or move your fibnif first though.

Hope that's not a mistake, considering my charging rook's poor retreat abilities.

Sorry that I didn't catch it earlier, but you neglected to specify which pawn, and I moved the other one. I would have moved my bede to a6 if I had moved the right pawn....

Well, I'm glad you normally are good at catching my poorly specified moves, as I often neglect to mention which piece I intend to move.  So if I understand you correctly, you would move B-a6 after my Pa3xb4, correct?  If so, I would move CRxa5.

That is correct. B-c6
