I guess you boys really dont play Chess..lol. But literally was invented to teach war strategy.
Board is the battlefield:
Pawns = infantry (solo no match but positioned correctly can be powerful)
Knights - basically spec ops or Officers in CoN (surprise /power attacks; only piece that can jump over lines)
Bishops - Heavy Calvary (todays armor)
Rooks - Mainly Backline defense
Queen - Element of unknown / powerful attack. Only role she cant play is knight.
King - Objective to Kill
Every piece has its strengths and vulnerabilities and needs complimentary peices to form proper attack/defense simultaneous.
To win Chess like Con you set the battlefield / board with your pieces in better places / combinations than opponents. Very hard to win if dont use aqll elements in their role in a unified simultaneous offense/defense strategy. Now at time war was just land based. So throw in air and naval dimensional and 3 dimensional chess.
4 x players play like checkers just want to move forward one dimensionally. Thus the common quote "This is Chess not Checkers".
