| The Constable moves like a nightrider, that is, can make continuous knight-moves in the same direction. But it cannot capture in this way. Instead it captures like a queen. Its value, it seems, corresponds to rook + knight. The other rules are the same as in standard chess, except for the possible promotion to Constable. The nightrider moves gives it an extreme mobility in congested middlegame positions. As it combines mobility with the power of the queen capture, it is ideal for king-attacks in the middlegame. You can often sacrifice a light piece, à la Michail Tal, if you can follow up the attack with a Constable. As it can only capture as a queen, and not as a knight, this piece is easier to control. |
