Don't you see? The whole point of his character is that he can only be fought with extraordinary people like Trigger. That's why there's a metaphor associated with him that he's no ordinary chess piece and only Trigger can capture him on the board. Even Alex said that the simulation to defeat Alicorn with Trigger would take months to complete. You think anything that behaves normally (i.e. the other chess pieces including even the Queen and the Knights) could work on him?

I understand that you want to make it as realistic as possible but we're talking about Ace Combat here. You can't just say that he will fail since he only has like 4 years of underwater service when Trigger, a rookie pilot, basically ended the war just because he has a nice pair of lungs to sustain his reckless flying. The fact that he's no ordinary chess piece means that he's made of more than just experience and willpower. If you want to say this and that, you have to make a few assumptions if it means to make sense out of the story.
