      But than I would take my own knight, this is unacceptable.

        The top right horsey moves to block the diagonal guy, while also setting up to ice the king.

    Because I already sunk your battleship, the game ended last turn.

    Also, you’re in a coma. You have to wake up. Please, wake up.

    You can’t take other pieces when moving from a green square. On this board only the black and yellow squares are live - the green squares are out of play. Useful to rest and feed the horses if you can get to them.

          Only once you convince it it’s actually a ghost and it can go wherever it wants but then you risk a haunting.

            Don’t be silly, basically you can get off the horsey and go around the obstacle, but the this doesn’t work for eg a pawn cause what are you going to do, split in two?

              While is this technically possible, it takes too much time (about 2-3 turns depending on the size and fitness of the horsey).

              That’s what they don’t tell you. “Horseys can jump, the Germans call them The Jumper.” Yes, but at what cost?

          Play on an offline physical chessboard and the game will let you do anything you want.

        Knight can. That’s his main thing.

          I don’t trust wikipedia. I think big-chess has infiltrated it to sell you more knight pieces!

            In the anonymity of the internet, I dare to say that I’m a former horsey piece seller who left because I couldn’t stand it anymore. You are right, no piece ever moved over another. It’s a myth perpetuated by the kind of person I was. But I can’t do it anymore. It a lie, it always was. Don’t believe anything of it.

            Also stop using the kn**** word. It’s offensive.
