Wow, 2nd submission this week? Noice

———————————-

What the actual flibbering humdinger? Acception?

----------------------

IMPORTANT: READ THIS BEFORE TESTING- YOU'LL UNDERSTAND THE VARIANT BETTER

----------------------

Welcome to my secret project! You may remember seeing this on the position/ workshop thread a few weeks back, and now I have unleashed it. Welcome to the obsidian pinnacle, the final level in Minecraft Dungeons.

----------------------

Ok to start off this is cursed in multiple ways-

1. WHAT? A 1-CHECK ROYAL???

2.MY ROYAL IS WITH MY OPPONENT?!?!?!

3. HILL SQUARE IS JUST 1 SQUARE AWAY!?!??!

4. (It's also pocket chess... lol)

----------------------

So there are a variety of different ways to win this, and I'll name the 2 easiest ones-

1.There is a sergeant permanently guarding the hill. With the hyper time control , you may not notice the hill is open until too late! What you have to do is bring a pawn, take the sergeant, and jump onto the hill

2.You can also take a more aggressive approach and bring your wazir (The only non-colorblind piece!) to attack and check the ferz. because of 1-check, it will get decimated. However, make sure not to lose the wazir, other wise it's back to attacking the sergeant!

--------------------------

Some miscellaneous information

-Sideways is there so that the sergeant, if attacked, and shift one square to the side and protect itself. However, because only a pawn can attack it, it will promote on the next move (Probably to a king) and take the sergeant, opening the hill, which is why the stone general definitely comes in handy
