Asunto: about these newfangled pieces here...

The Archbishop is fairly formidable in knight/bishop situations. He's able to change color as a bishop with each knight move, and wherever he goes as a bishop, he threatens to move as a knight.

But as formidable as he is, the Chancellor is absolutely awesome. He is able to zip around like a rook, and land on sqares from which he immediately issues proclamations of "fork!" in 2,3,4,5 or even 6 locations, which a Queen can do as well, but not on the squares that the Chancellor does: his forks are like the knights and rooks combined. /Fx/
