Be the logic of starcraft, all would have to be ground units with a non-suicide attack (so they have the ability to capture every other piece and remain alive.) For zerg I was thinking: Pawn: Zergling Queen: not sure King: Kerrigan(or queen if someone thought of a better king) Knight: lurker (different way of attacking than the other pieces.) Bishop: hydralisk Rook: ultralisk blahblah anyone care to share ideas and zerg/other races. this thread is dumb, but should be fun. | ||

A bishop isn't exactly a warrior compared the slightly less valuable knight. In making a starcraft set its the same way, although there would be some association between piece type's point value and its power in starcraft, they do not have to be directly proportional. | ||

Pawn: Zergling - expendable light infantry Queen: Kerrigan - all-powerful and female, although Queen unit may be better for consistency King: Overlord - slow and fat, not very useful, and commands army; or the obvious Cerebrate ;o Knight: Lurker - attack mechanism, as stated Bishop: Hydralisk - ranged fire Rook: Ultralisk - power ground | ||

http://www.sclegacy.com/strategy/analysis/daroth_chess.php http://www.starcraft.org/maps/scums/Singleplayer/Starcraft Chess- Version II as for parallel id choose: pawn->main core could be workers from each or zeal-marine-zerling rook-> siege unit so river- tank- lurker bishop-> range and mobility so goon-goli-hidra knight-> no parallel from all knight is the flanking/most mobility dont know really king/queen some heroes it would be fun to see a chess program with them maibe with animated battles like that old chess game battle-chess but then units should be in numbers to equiparate battles | ||

Did they change the rules since then? yea, they changed it recently http://www.fide.com/official/handbook.asp?level=EE101 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
