Werewolf Chess. An nearly invincible, but bribable Werewolf replaces the Queen. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Fairy-Max cannot do a Werewolf because it does not support double capture. But I did manage to make a derivative that implements contageon. And I used it to play a contageous Queen against a non-contageous one. The contageous Queen clearly won this (58% with white in 100 games, 56% with black out of 80 games).

The most obvious advantage of the contageous Queen is that it cannot easily be chased away: when it is protected by a Pawn it has to be attacked twice before it has to worry.
