What is your favourite chess piece?
Mine's rook.
In national chess, "rook"(castle) is Straight forward, but not as risky to attack as Queen. And in Chinese chess, "rook"(車) is the most destructive piece. ------------------------------------------------------ Hey..I clicked "disable smilies" for my poll! =.= Anyway... pawn=卒 King=將 Queen= Rook=車 Knight=馬 Bishop=象 Cannon=砲 Guard=士 PS: Have I left out a piece from any of the chess? |
Why, the King of course! Although, I haven't played chess in a while.
|
A cannon and a guard? In a chess game I havent heard of. Queen rules! Kings are hilarious. Me and my friends just muck around and make the peices do stupid stuff.
|
The horse one! YAY horses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
I love to play chess! I think the Knight is the best!
|
The queen is useful, but the knight is cool. I like the way he jumps over pawns. I'm not experienced at chess, I think my greatest merit would be thrashing my brother on Chess (pay TV games), but I always get my knights out first.
He's great, he can always round corners. The queen may be versatile, but she often gets smashed up. DP |
I like the Knight best...always have, always will.
|
I think the Queen is the best because it can move almost on the board.
but if you lose it during a match your pretty much a goner |
I like the rook, you can use them to really mess up movements for an opponent's pieces. 2 Rooks paired with a queen and a Bishop, and I could get a Checkmate really easily. Allthough, I use Knights as no more than Shields, as I have never found much else use for them.
|
Knights definitely...they are my favorite piece because they are useful in disabling your opponent's queen...giving my own queen the opportunity to wreck havoc unopposed. Knights make greaat technicians at times too...
|
bishop i love diagonals and they r always my last piece *to protect the king*

PS: There are not any queens in Chinese Chess. |
National chess would be the knight, because it really helps out a lot and is more or less your power piece in most games. Chinese chess...the cannon, don't know why though,lol.
|
Rook, definately. My rook-knight combo is always a strong opener. Then, my rooks wreak havoc in the endgame.
That said, I'm not much good at chess. I'm far better at Go. |

Cannon's my father's favourite too! |
The Queen rocks! Always defending her fat lazy husband. The Simpsons Chess set displays this perfectly, with Homer being a fat King that can't move everywhere, and Marge being the Queen who can do anything and everything. The other members of the family take the other positions, but Marge is the best out of all of them. ^_^

anyways i tend to rely on the knight a lot more than the queen...besides knight can make an opening move XD |
Why hasnt anyone voted for a pawn yet? I shouldve before. They are really powerful, especially in transfer chess.

I love the Cannon, or "Pao". Really useful, I usually use it as part of my opening move. |
Me- Queen.
Very useful...and perfect for sacrifices and martyr. ^_^ I mean, I love using it part of my strategies...always involving the Queen taken by the opposing team. So useful! XP |
Hmm... Queen I guess. I always try to use Queen to kill the opponents' piece!
|
Queen, Knight, or Rook. I've been playing for a while ^^

No, that "象" does not stand for elephant. Although this character normally stands for elephant, in chess, it stands more like "臣"。 (if you don't know Chinese, that position is something like Bishop in the west, but unrelated to religions.) Just like "車". Normally it means "car". But in chess, its is the "Charriot" and functions similarly to "rook" in National Chess. |
My favorite chess piece is the knight. Why? It looks like a horse!!!! =D

I love horses too ^^
But I sometimes find tricky using knight in National Chess... |
