Your Humble Blogger would have been much better at chess if there were berserkers in the sets.
OK, that’s not actually true. Unless the berserker did some sort of berserk board randomization thing that prevented people who were actually good at chess from implementing strategies. That was always my problem—opponents with strategies. Maybe berserkers would have helped with that. If they just moved on the columns and rows, though, not so much.

I love Knightmare Chess precisely because it removes the long-range strategizing, so the idea of an actual berserker piece is very appealing. Perhaps it could be a bodily possession piece, swapping in for another piece on the board for limited times.
