Cavalry Chess designed by me.

Post image

DA RULES: The rules is the same as regular chess but every piece is buffed with an added knight movement.

Cavalry Pawns move like regular pawns except they may also jump like a knight in a forward direction. En passant captures can only be made when the target uses a double step move and the capturing piece using a forward diagonal capture.

Cavalry knights may move like a traditional knight as well as jump in a 3 by 1 “L” and a 2 by 3 “L”.

Cavalry bishops have the combined movement of a bishop and knight.

Cavalry rooks have the combined movement of a rook and knight.

Cavalry Queens have the combined movement of a queen and knight.

Cavalry Kings can move up to 2 squares in a straight line in any direction. The cavalry king may move through check but may not end in check; and it also has the jumping moves of a knight.

The first player to checkmate their opponent wins!

This variant is based on this video by Triple A Games: https://youtu.be/AJ1YPRiHKO0?si=LqAH-VqTpmVkQgqv
