Help me!

[Lupy]

I have to take a survey for a Geometry project that is due on Monday and I managed to leave it to the last minute, please help me!

What is your favorite Chess piece? [King, Queen, Bishop, Knight, Rook, Pawn]

Please put your answer in bold in your post.

Thank you so much guys!

[truemane]

KNIGHT

Seems odd material for a geomoetry project, but there you go all the same.

[Eldan]

Queen. Versatile, powerful and scary.

[wxdruid]

My favorite piece is the Knight. I like the way it moves...

[Innis Cabal]

Why? Perhaps they are looking for how we pick favorites by shape? Rook for me

[arguskos]

It's good the be the King!

[GrlumpTheElder]

Pawn


Because in Large enough numbers they mean trouble.

[Lupy]

We're finding the area of sectors, so I'll be graphing the results and then finding the areas of all the sectors.

My favorite is the Bishop, because, well, Lupy.

[EndlessWrath]

Bishop.

although I do like the knight a lot too :smallamused:

-Wrath

[Dallas-Dakota]

Knight

I'd say queen, but you always have to be oh so carefull with her...

[Crispy Dave]

Knight


Mostly because it has a unique movement pattern and it is easier to get people who don't notice it's placement.

[EmeraldPhoenix]

My favorite chess piece? That's easy.

The Board.:smallamused:

[Ichneumon]

Pawn, people always underestimate the piece that can basically just move in 2 directions.

[Kallisti]

Hmmm...Rook for me, because Rook is the coolest name of any chess piece, with Knight a (very) close second.

[MCerberus]

Knight


Although most people prefer the Bishop, the knight is a lot more mobile early in the game getting better position for the later game, when Bishops are important.

[thubby]

knight

unorthodox movement and isn't blocked by pawns. I'd use them for everything if they weren't so narrow.

[chiasaur11]

Rook.

Most of the kick of a queen, but less unique, and therefore less of a target.

[RS14]

Bug-Eyed Monster. But since I need to choose a conventional piece,

Knight

as it is so unlike the other pieces.

[xPANCAKEx]

ROOK

random text is random

[Jack Squat]

It's good the be the King!

Great movie, and I can't say I'm against Brooks' version of Chess either :smalltongue:

I think my favorite piece would be the Knight, as they're the most mobile early on.

[EmeraldPhoenix]

Pawn, people always underestimate the piece that can basically just move in 2 directions.

Plus, if you get it across the board, you can make it anything you want (except a king).:smallcool:

[Ichneumon]

Plus, if you get it across the board, you can make it anything you want (except a king).:smallcool:

Yeah that too, it's like the pawn is saying to the other pieces: "Ha, you think you are better than me, watch me run to the other side and become JUST LIKE YOU!"

[Etcetera]

Rook. They're blunt and to the point...

[Bunny of Faith]

The Rook.

Because the Queen cheats on the King with him, as the King is useless.

[EmeraldPhoenix]

Yeah that too, it's like the pawn is saying to the other pieces: "Ha, you think you are better than me, watch me run to the other side and become JUST LIKE YOU!"

Exactly! Pawns are awesome!

[llamamushroom]

Knight, so they're usually the first pieces to die. I like using them, but I'm not good at chess.

[Perenelle]

Queen

I had the lengthen this post somehow...

[Green Bean]

Pawn

I'll never forget the moment where I literally lost a chess tournament on behalf of the entire school because of one little pawn. And it wasn't even my opponent's pawn. :smallfrown:

[arguskos]

The King is lonely, all these Queens and Rooks and Knights, no one loves the poor King, leader of the army? :smallfrown::smalltongue:

[AshDesert]

My favorite is the Bishop. Late game it becomes one of your most useful pieces (Knight is a close second because of how useful it is to get yourself into a position to actually use your Bishops).

[bluewind95]

Pawns and bishops. Especially bishops. They move diagonally and are plain neat.

[Falgorn]

Hail to the King, baby!

[Seonor]

Rook, because he makes the endgame that much easier.

[Mauve Shirt]

Knightasdfghjkl;'

[ThePhantom]

Rook for me, as they can create a checkmate easier than other pieces.

[Yrcrazypa]

Plus, if you get it across the board, you can make it anything you want (except a king).:smallcool:

I lost once because someone got a pawn across and turned it into a Knight. I think I gave up shortly after that, since I was never good to begin with.

[Berserk Monk]

ROOK

It looks like a castle and can move infinite amount of spaces forward, back, or sideways.

[GoC]

I choose the PAWN.

[Nageto004]

ROOK its one of the three best pieces and my personal fav.

[Mordokai]

Rook for me. I like all the pieces, but rook sounds just badass.

[Blackmore]

I'm a Bishop man myself.

[Lupy]

Thanks a bunch guys, keep 'em coming! :smallsmile:

[Zephra]

ROOK definitely. way more honerable than using a queen on somebody.

[Bendigeidfran]

Knight Considering it's uses I have a feeling that it's just a very badly spelled Ninja :smallamused:

[jlvm4]

I have to take a survey for a Geometry project that is due on Monday and I managed to leave it to the last minute, please help me!

What is your favorite Chess piece? [King, Queen, Bishop, Knight, Rook, Pawn]

Please put your answer in bold in your post.

Thank you so much guys!

Got to go with the Knight. It's got everything, horses, cool movement.. you name it.

[CrimsonAngel]

Bishop. I'm usualy scared I might loose the queen, so she's more backup for me.

[Blaine.Bush]

God save the Queen.

Oh, how witty I am!

[Stormthorn]

The Rook will charge across the board and smack your pawn in the face with a folding chair the moment it starts to become a queen.

[Emperor Ing]

hmm, rooks shut down entire sections of the board, pawns are ridiculously nasty late game...

I'm gonna go with Rook, due to them being the gods of territorial control.

[madtinker]

My Dad says I use my pawns pretty devilishly.

[Rigel Cyrosea]

Bishop, by far. Angles are a good thing, and bishops are the best at them.

[SMEE]

ROOK is the best.

[Silverraptor]

Pawn

You can manipulate your opponent with ease with all of them combined.

[toasty]

rooks .

[Raewyn]

Bishop

It looks the coolest, IMO. *nod*

[Lupy]

Bishop

It looks the coolest, IMO. *nod*

You have learned much, my Apprentice. :smalltongue:

[Wizard of the Coat]

Pawn, because they represent evil minions of doom...(chess should always be played when dressed up as evil monocle wearing aristocratic overloards)

[Raz_Fox]

There is no piece that can compare with the deadly grace and fatal beauty of the Queen; admire her shapely design as she looms across the board, changing the very nature of the board by her mere presence.

[Silverraptor]

There is no piece that can compare with the deadly grace and fatal beauty of the Queen; admire her shapely design as she looms across the board, changing the very nature of the board by her mere presence.

I always beat people who favor their queen. It means I take all there other pieces while they try to protect it. In fact, I quite hate the queen. I get rid of mine practically as soon as I can. I make big risks to lure the opposing queen out so I can nab it.

[Nomrom]

Well, I'm not very good at chess so my favorite is the queen. It's a bishop and a rook all in one. Of course I always end up losing it, because everyone I play with is good, and I'm not. I always make dumb mistakes.

[Kallisto]

I'll cast my vote for the Rook.

For some reason, it makes me smile that in French, the Bishop's name is "The Jester". :smallamused:

[Winter_Wolf]

Rook for me.

Because if I lose both of my rooks I generally am guaranteed to lose. I could lose both knights, both bishops, and the queen, and still win with two rooks, but lose both rooks and I just don't make a comeback. :smallfrown: I suck at chess.

Oh, and I hate the bishop pieces, because apparently I can't do strategy with pieces that move diagonally (and they always get in the way of my pieces without actually doing anything useful).:smallannoyed: Again, I suck at chess.

[FirebirdFlying]

Pawns - All of you…mwahahahaha…

[Yarram]

Bishops are awesome. They come at you sideways.

[KilltheToy]

I'd have to say the rook. I like the nigh-infinate mobility.

[Mr. Mud]

Pawns. Why you ask? My shirt says it all. (http://images1.cafepress.com/product/87510011v6_480x480_Front_Color-Black.jpg)

[Inhuman Bot]

I like Bishops.

[Serpentine]

Queen, followed by Knight. I like surprising people by being careless with the former, and the latter is good for sneaking up.

[AstralFire]

Bishop.dfjdkgj

[Myshlaevsky]

Queen, followed by Knight. I like surprising people by being careless with the former, and the latter is good for sneaking up.

This goes for me as well.

[Teutonic Knight]

Bishop. Most people forget it can cross the entire battlefield and wipe out a lonely rook in the corner.

[Headless_Ninja]

Rook, I reckon.

[horngeek]

Knight, because it's so much harder to keep track of. :smalltongue:

[Silence]

Pawns

Chess would be chess without knights, or queens, or bishops, but without pawns, chess would be a totally different game.

[Gullara]

Hmm, I'd have to go with the Rook, its a moving castle:smallbiggrin:

[Castaras]

Pawn .

[Lupy]

I would like to give you all a slightly belated thank you very much!

I could never have gotten a passing grade without you! :smallsmile:
