Wait till you hear about 'unorthodox chess pieces' like the amazon (queen + knight), the reflecting bishop, the universal leaper (can move to any other square on the board) and the kraken, which can move to any square on the board, including the one it is currently on

I'm about to play it at Level 7. I have not beaten it once in 47 attempts, despite having beaten it on multiple occasions at Level 6.

We've been playing for 15 minutes. We both only have pawns left. It could go either way.

All because its king was one square closer to the front line pawns than mine was which meant I couldn't get to them in time.
