Chameleon (1). Take a piece in the way that piece is taking.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Is there a name for a piece that captures an enemy using the enemy's noncapturing move? Such a piece would avoid the Chameleon's 'How do they capture each other?' problem.

please refer to this page for more info on similar pieces. I have found it useful, you might too.

Unfortunately a mimic that captures as attacker's move is not there, so we need new terminology, we can call it a conter-reflecting mimic

There are many pieces, called 'chameleon', not only two...

If a Chameleon is adjacent to an Immobilizer, does it clone the Immobilizer's ability to self-destruct?

Any piece that is immobilzed can self-destruct, including the Immobilizer.
