Drunken Knight

moves forwards as a Knight, sidewards as a Wazir, and backwards as a Ferz. It lacks the backwards Wazir move of the Charging Knight, taking away the can-mate property and toning down this piece.

History & Origins

The Drunken Night is a toned down version of the Charging Knight to restore the balance. The name Drunken Night is inspired by the Suizo (Drunk Elephant) of Chu shōgi who moves like a King without the backwards Wazir move.
