Joker chess :)

New game!  The Smiley Joker can move like King to any direction but as long as it want to. Would be fun to play...? 

It seems interesting!

Isn't that just another queen then? Am I missing something?

You, right. I missed something :( ... I'm stupid. Maybe it can then move like Queen and Knight?

Thats better IDEA! 

Win by checkmating a piece that moves like a queen would be really really difficult, queens don't get trapped that often even without using your entire army to protect it. Although you can't use your queen to trap a normal queen or it's just a trade, so that would make a difference.

Yes, you right, but maybe this is not for experts. This kind of game could be for beginners and beginners like me can do terrible mistakes and lose  the Joker :(

Yeah, me too. 

Why are the smiley faces upside down?

Because they aren't smiley.

Maybe joker can then move like Knight and Queen? Is there idea? 

Because it is Joker! It can do almost what it wants. 

That would make the Joker super powerful, it could checkmate by itself. It might be fun to play some games with that.

The way you've placed the pieces is also interesting, because you replace pawns, but it's not symmetrical. White has a hole in the kingside, black in the kingside. Does that maybe somewhat negate white's first-move advantage?

You said it moves like King, so that's only 1 square at a time--not like Queen.

I didn't thought that. I just placed them to little right (from players view). I think it is mentally must funnier that an ordinary pawn can be joker, not an high officer.

Yes. New rules: it moves like a Queen and! Knight at the same time. It Super Joker like in card games Joker can be anything.

Nice idea!

Interesting.thanks

Interesting.thanks

a piece that moves like a queen and a knight is called a superqueen or amazon isn't it? btw there is a chess variant where the queen is royal so is subject to check and checkmate as well, and you can win by mating either the king or queen: co regal chess :)
