Ultima. Game where each type of piece has a different capturing ability. Also called Baroque. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Roberto,

I'm not surprised that the FIDE Queen seems very powerful in Ultima -- all of the alternate forms of capture used in Ultima are weaker than replacement. Also, with a lack of other pieces capturing by replacement, guarding pieces isn't as easy as in FIDE Chess.

The Bird is almost certainly too powerful, but one of the pleasures of experimenting is to try such pieces and see what they tell you about the game and those forms of capture.
