Just group by some random categories

P = basic = rine/ling/lot
N = ranged = goliath/hydra/goon
B = flying = wraith/muta/scout
R = big = tank/ultra/archon
Q = flying caster = vessel/queen/arb
K = ground caster = ghost/filer/ht

How does a tank/ultra/ling/lot kill a vessel/queen/arb/muta/wraith/scout?

...'cause last time I played chess pawns and rooks could kill bishops and queens. Did they change the rules since then?

yea, they changed it recently

Article 1: The nature and objectives of the game of chess

1.1 The game of chess is played between two opponents who move their pieces alternately on a square board called a `chessboard`. The player with the white pieces commences the game. A player is said to `have the move`, when his opponent`s move has been made.

1.2 The objective of each player is to place the opponent`s king `under attack` in such a way that the opponent has no legal move. The player who achieves this goal is said to have `checkmated` the opponent`s king and to have won the game. Leaving one`s own king under attack, exposing one`s own king to attack and also `capturing` the opponent`s king are not allowed. The opponent whose king has been checkmated has lost the game.

1.3 It is not allowed to capture the King

1.4 When starcraft units are used in place of chess pieces, the specific atributes of the units are lost.

The pawns should be drones/probes/scvs because of their weak attacking nature, short range, importance w/ respect to structure, promotional ability, underestimated value, etc.

Just the people who posted in this thread before you. I see since you've been beaten on intelligence, you have to resort to name-calling. How pathetic.

Samir Duran should be king of zerg probably, or the overmind eyeball.
Kerrigan, or queen for queen.

Protoss rashzagal for queen and tassadar or zeratul for king.

Raynor is the only true hero among the terran groups, so he would be king.

Queen would have to be uninfested kerrigan.

..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)
