Piece Mutation
After your 6th completed player move, up to two eligible bishops or knights change type permanently.
After you complete your 6th move, the mutator chooses either bishops or knights on the chosen side and changes up to two of those pieces into the other type. The changed pieces keep their new type for the rest of the match and can move, capture, and be captured normally.
Strategy notes
Turn the constraint into a lever.
Plan around it
- Check every piece identity before you trust a line.
- Treat the board like a puzzle, not a script.
Keep in mind
- Do not auto-pilot your opening book.
- Watch for jump patterns that should not exist.
