43. Friend. This is a piece subject to some discussion, mostly as a novelty piece, but it hasn't ever been presented as a piece in an actual game (pending A Friendly Game of Chess) or even a fairy chess problem, as far as anyone can tell.

The Friend has no moves of its own (hence no move diagram), but duplicates the move of any friendly piece that guards it.

The piece is based on the Friend's "standard symbol," which is a square turned 45 degrees.
