Ork nob vs any of these guys:

Have the pawns all advance across the board together as a grot screen, while the rest plow forward and set fire to both the enemy castles

*hat-tip to Pratchett*

None of those listed would win, since they are all fictitious characters.

Tzeentch beats them all at the same time including occasionally making them play each other without their knowledge.

I don't know anything about newcron fluff, so i'll skip this one.

Asdrubael Vect-----VS------Marneus Calgar

Vect. I'm just sure he could make the sacrifices better, and find the more cunning options.

Draigo--------VS-------Ahriman

Ahriman would win, because Dragio would be far too busy trying to figure out how to carve something on the enemy king with his sword without cutting the damn thing in half

Ork Nob-------VS------Hormagaunt <---lol?

Nobz have fingers, and would thus ba able to throw the peices at the hormagaunt faster.

And that's how it would go.

Imotekh

Vect

Ahriman

Nob (unless the hormagaunt can find a way to accurately move the pieces and there is no timer)

In the case of the nob vs hormagaunt I think it's more a case of who's left alive to claim victory.

Tzeench would use nothing but pawns...... heh

Creed Infiltrates his queen right next to the king on turn one. Supreme Tactical Genius.

Draigo would win all four matches, cos that's just what he does.

One question I have for the Nob vs. Hormagaunt: is the Hormagaunt in Synapse Range, cause I think the Hive Mind would be a pretty solid chess player.

Definately Imotek, he'd beat all but the ork.(well probably 50/50 with the ork, closer to 95% with everything else or greater.)

Hormagaunt...who is Creed in disguise.

I would like to say Nemesor would win. mainly because I am a bigger fan. both are tactical masters though.

Nahh, the way I picture it is that Peturabo would set up a castle that Dorn would charge against only to discover that the King isn't there and that he in fact has landed all of his pieces in an inescapable Iron Cage and would then call in Guilliman to bring his pieces over to save him.

why do people assume and insist orks are stupid.. they in the fluff are certainly odd but not dumb they are more dedicated specialists who use thier brains mostly for destruction. heck even the precious imperium can't figure out how some ork tech works like the SAG.

but i assume the ork has no inttest in chess and squishes the hermagaunt as that would be more fun

I don't know man, from my reading of the fluff it seemed like the only orks that were considered intelligent were the ones had the knowledge ingrained in them, like Big Meks and the Docs. I don't think we found one of the orks who has ingrained knowledge of chess, I figured it was just any ork.

Also I kinda thought that the whole reason the Imperium can't figure out how ork technology works is because it kinda doesn't work. At least it shouldn't. I could have sworn it mentions somewhere that the only reason ork tech works is because orks believe it works, and thus by that believing it is so.

The "intelligent" Orks are born with the knowledge of how to make these things. They don't acquire it and some are born knowing how to build Trukks etc. The closest thing to ingenuity is that an ork makes a BIGGER Trukk obviously there are examples like the Tellyportas and things like that but in general I don't think they even get a grasp on Chess

The main thing here, OT-wise, is that it is assumed that a hormagaunt WOULD be smart enough to know the rules... because a mindless bug who cannot do anything but feed on it's own is somehow intelligent enough to know the rules...
