For an "easy" 3d representation of a 6d board you'd have a cube made out of cubes of these 4tiled boards for the sake of 3d peoples sanity after that keep the 6d boards in separate rooms (i mean better than using ladders). A 3d representation of a 9d board would than be a cube of these rooms (still buildable with shipping containers). You could go higher in dimensions, but i'd say anything above 6d wouldn't be practical to play on a physical board anymore.
in a world where 14th dimensional chess could exist, string theory would be a valid idea.

This is an amazing representation of a 4th dimension. Chess is perfect because movement in the game is discrete and not continuous. This makes it super easy to visualize and understand. The problem with looking a tesseract and thinking about moving around with a 4th dimension is that you can't conceive of a continuous motion from one 4d coord to another.
Oh yes, super easy indeed. I do it all the time after finding alternate proofs of the Rienmann conjecture, before breakfast.
lol, i guess it is simpler than the utter brainmeltery that is trying to think of 4d movement in the real world tho
In straight lines yes not so with a curve.
Imagine trying to actually get a checkmate instead of just ending at a concede
I don’t think we could actually comprehend as humans the complexity of such a task
It's irritating to get a checkmateat endgame boardstate in 2d, God help us if we have to do it in 4d.
With 2d chess you're trying to trap the king by limiting its moves with either it's own pieces or the attack paths of your own.
4D chess is basically the same and isn't too difficult once you grasp the movement paths.
@@TheKamiBunny Exactly, I'm pretty sure that with a couple dozen games played you could grasp the movements of the pieces well enough to force checkmates.
What would be exciting to see is how the Scholar's Mate would look like in 4d chess.
@@otsegoudead I think that the potential positions for the queen to end up in scholars mate increases by 2 lanes in 4D due to the 2 extra dimensions.
It also means the covering bishop or knight can be in many more permutations. The issue I have is I'm not sure how the knight moves through space and time, or how castling works.
What I'm wondering is if fool's mate is still possible in this version of chess. I guess if it's possible it should be called colossal fool's mate.
You can represent 4D chess in 2D too, though. In this case, instead of having just a line of boards representing the third dimension, you'd have a grid of boards, with one axis of the grid representing dimension 3 and the other representing dimension 4.
And you can repeat the process to achieve any number of dimensions you want, the number of boards used just keeps getting more absurd. If you think of the grid of boards described above as a single 4D board, and make a line of such boards, you can achieve dimension 5. Turn that line into a grid, and you have dimension 6. Now you have a 6D board and by making a line of that you get dimension 7. You get the idea by now.
There would come a point where all these boards would cover a stadium and the game would go on for weeks
We can take it one step further and flatten everything to 1D. That's literally how ndarrays are represented in computer memory. The next problem is whether we choose Fortran or C ordering for the indices.
iirc what you are describing is dimension 5 and only dimension 5 what you are describing as dimension 6 and so on are offshoots of the universe within dimension 5. Which is in fact a game of 5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel.
@@starpetalarts6668 Nobody said anything about time travel or alternate universes.
You can create an infinite number of dimensions of space, which is what I am doing.
@@ManoredRed Dimensions of space don't work like that when you separate them from each other there's not an infinite amount of options; those are finite based on the dimension they're within. That is something determined by our relative field of view. Flattening a dimension only works if it is a higher dimension, all dimensions above our own still follow that logic. IF there were an infinite volume of coordinate options then we would have an infinite amount of dimensions to work with.
Pretty much we create the 4th dimension as a representation in 2D with 16 boards to represent the 4 dimensional direction the pieces move... as in your example. But then what direction are we going with another additional dimension? We go vertical: up, down, Horizontal: forward, backward, sideways, and then the diagonal for the third dimension... but then we add the 4th dimension to be able to go inward and outward. We have an infinite level of points and vertexes but we don't have an infinite level of directional inputs.
IF we were to go into different points in time: Past, Present, and Future... we have an additional dimension to play with. Which is why we get the next step of chess: 5D with Multiverse Time Travel.
What you are talking about for an infinite amount is an infinite amount of grids/matrix to represent a dimension. Theoretically we can have an infinite level of chessboards but we cannot rearrange them in such a way to represent another dimension beyond space-time.

Getting checkmate in 4d chess might not even be possible assuming both players are trying to avoid being mated. If you compare it to a random walk, an experiment where you choose a direction at random and move a set distance in that direction, you start to see why. In a 1-dimensional random walk, you tend to return to your start point because you only ever have 2 possible moves. This is also true in a 2-dimensional walk (assuming you can't move diagonally) where you have 4 possible moves. However, once you reach higher dimensions, the number of possible moves expands exponentially so you quickly reach a point where you are less likely to undo your original moves (returning to the starting point) than you are to move further away. PBS Infinite Series has a video on random walks if you want to learn more.
This principle of exponentially expanding moves also applies to chess. In order to get checkmate, you need to attack the king's square and all spaces the king could move to. This means that in a hypothetical 1D chess game you need to attack the king and the squares on either side for a total of 3 squares. This continues as we go up in dimensions with the maximum number of squares you need to attack being equal to 3^n where n is the dimension. In classic 2D chess, you need at most 9 spaces (3^2). In 3D chess, you'd need to simultaneously attack up to 27 spaces (3^3), and in 4D chess, you'd need to attack a whopping 81 spaces (3^4) simultaneously, all while your opponent can actively change which spaces you have to attack.
Just for fun let's calculate the number of possible board states, there are 4^4 (256) spaces and 96 (48 per side) pieces in the ruleset you used in the video. Using the piece distributions and board from the video, we can calculate that there are over 2.68x10^112 possible arrangements of pieces. And that's only the ones where you have all the pieces still in play. Just writing out the equation to calculate the number of possible states would take hours if not days. The length of that equation would be about 94^10 times as long as the equation I linked below. You would need a supercomputer to analyze every one of these arrangements in order to find out if any were checkmates and even if you found one, you probably wouldn't be able to set it up in an actual game while your opponent was trying to stop you.
Here's the math for the possible arrangements of pieces if anyone is interested:
www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(256+nCr+17)*(239+nCr+17)*(222+nCr+4)*(218+nCr+4)*(214+nCr+4)*(210+nCr+4)*(206+nCr+4)*(202+nCr+4)*(200+nCr+2)*(198+nCr+2)*197*196
I might try writing a python script later to generate the equation to calculate the total arrangements with pieces being captured if anyone is interested.

For example, there are many "hype" moments that don't end well for the protagonists, and winning/losing aren't seemingly predetermined save for some key matches., just like in the real world. "Sakamoto desu ga" offers refreshing take on the comedy genre, although it becomes a cliche of its own after a while. "Arslan Senki" and "Suisei no Gargantia" have good storytelling, some cliches but mostly aren't "anime" cliches. Finally, there's the kinda-out-there titles like "Hataraku Saibou".

4D chess simply allows a piece to move up and down too, not just to the sides (no diagonal moves allowed, though). So a knight could go up or down two platforms then shift to the left, right, front, or back square on that platform it lands on.

Each board is one dimension and I guess the ability to transcend into another dimension like that counts as a dimension in itself.
According to the little info blurb in "5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel", the 5 dimensions used in the game are as follows:
1D length
2D width
3D unused dimension
4D time
*5D ability to visit other dimensions*
Or something along those lines...
It actually seems like a good representation of 4D for humans. Each section of the board is a 3D portion of the universe that cant directly see what's in the next section, but can see a shadow of it (a single square) that they can move to. Once you travel in a 4D direction you can move around in the new 3D like normal.
yea i agree 100%...
the interesting thing, is if you look at it from the perspective of a conceptual (and potentially real) fourth dimensional being, they can see in this fourth dimension. they wouldnt be able to tell that they are in a third dimensional space. really if you think about it as if its string theory, all they would see is just what is right infront of them. and right behind them. cause if there is a second dimensional world overlapping our third dimensional world, then how come we cant see it? and what would it be like?
Speaking as a lover of both chess and math, I have to say there's a bit of an inconsistency here.
From 2D to 3D, you extrapolated that 8^2=4^3, and that chess could therefore be played on a 4x4x4 space, with 32 pieces total, 16 on each side, 8 on each individual 4x4 plane.
However, these rules went out the window for the 4D variant. The 4D variant was just 4^4, which represents much more squares than classic chess. Furthermore, the piece counts were completely off, with some 2D planes having 8 pieces, and some having 4. This is not only a poor way to extrapolate chess to 4D, it also requires more chess sets.
In order for a multidimensional chess variant to be valid, it needs to maintain the same y for z=log base x of y, where z is the dimension of the chess, y is the number of squares, and x is the number of squares on any given side. Furthermore, only positive non-zero interger solutions can exist for this, as playing chess on fractional squares is even more nonsensical. 2D chess can be expressed as 2=Log base 8 of 64, and 3d chess can be expressed as 3=Log base 4 of 64. There is no way to represent chess for 4=log base x of 64 with intergers. The next valid chess variant would be 6D chess, where 6=Log base 2 of 64.
An alternative approach would involve Shogi, Japanese chess. Japanese chess is played on a 9 by 9 board, with 20 pieces a side. Shogi can be represented as 2D, wherein 2=Log base 9 of 81.
3=Log base x of 81 has no interger solution, BUT
4=Log base 3 of 81 is valid!
And it's actually fairly easy to picture, because unlike in the video we're not being asked to 4D picture 256 squares. We're still picturing the same number.
3^2 is 9, working us with 3 by 3 planes.
3^3 means we're picturing a 27 square cube. Imagine a rubik's cube, and you're good to go.
3^4 means we have 3 27 square cubes, each perpendicular to each other.
Set up, we have the traditional shogi set up just cut up slightly. Kings start on the middle plane of their cubes, with bishop below for player 1 and above for player 2, vice versa for rooks.
Rules wise for Shogi, stuff gets interesting. Any piece can promote into a Gold General, with the exception of the Gold, King, Bishop, and Rook, when it hits the opponent's starting cube. Any piece can be placed on any square as a move after its been captured from an opponent. The knight, which is allowed to move 2 squares forward in the direction of the enemy king followed by one square perpendicular to the king, implies that on the x and z (across planes) axis, it can go one square +or-, whereas on the y or w(across cubes), it must cumulatively move 2 closer to the enemy king. This comes out to moving the knight's legal move options from 2 to a lot more. It can move either forward by 2 squares or 2 cubes, and then either left or right or up or down. That's... oh that's 8 moves. Still a much more powerful piece now.
Pawns and lances have similar rules. Pawns cannot move on the x axis. As such, in shogi, they would move one space along the wyz axis, approaching the enemy king's starting plane. At least, we'd think so, but then we'd have two pawns in a file, as moving a pawn up a plane would have it join another pawn on the same file, and two pawns in a file is not allowed. So, we can conclude that the pawn also cannot move across the Z dimension, and that dropped pawns cannot be in the same columnplane as another pawn, but the same rowcube is fine. However, since pawns start at the 3rd row of each cube, pawns at the start can only proceed cubes "forward". Once captured, pawns have a wider range of movement.
Silvers move diagonally, that is to say moving with a change of two axes by 1, or they move orthagonally forward. Now, this gets tricky to translate.Essentially, now instead of changing both x and y in one direction, you change 2 of the following: w, x, y or z, OR, you increase y or z but keep the other values the same. Essentially you can move it to orthagonal equivalents on different planes and cubes, diagonal equivalents on the same plane, or otherwise total equivalents that have proceeded closer to the king in either plane, or column.
Golds move one square orthagonally, or any square forward diagonally. That means 1 change to any of wxyz in any direction, or two changes in directions that approach the value of the enemy kind across yzw. Now, this wider range does give the silver more reach than the gold, but the gold still has the luxury of covering more squares + than the silver does, as well as being able to retreat without giving up significant axes.
Kings of course change either one or two of wxyz.
Rooks move by increasing one value of WXYZ as much as they want, so long as they're not moving over any other piece. For instance, a rook on cube 1 plane 2 square 22 (the starting square), could capture the enemy rook on turn one, but not if there was a piece on cube 2 plane 2 2 2.
A bishop is actually a ridiculously powerful piece, able to change two of any 4 wxyz values as much as they want, so long as both are changed by the same amount and no other value is changed. A bishop in the center of plane 2 cube 2 has 24 moves available, whereas a rook only had 8. Of course, blocking rules still apply.
Because each plane is 3 by 3, promoted Rooks or Bishops become nearly identical, with only distinctions when they're considering moving across multiple planes/cubes/planecubes in one move.
Overall, the game becomes absurdly volatile, with bishops and rooks vulnerable to each other from the first moves, and knights able to give checks on turn 1.
Your concluding statement was exactly what I was thinking, except I didn't do whatever the hell you did to figure it out. Also, checkmate is nearly impossible (according to someone you'd need to control 81 spaces to put the opponent into checkmate, when there's less than 100 pieces per player).
That statement actually has multiple severe flaws, especially in the context of how it would be applied in Shogi, where pieces can be placed on any unoccupied square after you've captured them from an opponent, as a move.
If the king's in the bottom left of the starting cube, height 1 length 1 width 1 cube 1, the king has 3 squares on the plane, three on the plane above, and one on a different cube. That's only 7 moves total. Further, with pieces having many more squares they have control over, mating a king is actually fairly easy regardless of how many pieces there are.

You can technically represent an infinite number of dimensions on which to play chess using that method. If you array the 3D boards in a 4x4 square, you are able to represent a 5D game, if you arrange that array vertically above each other you can create 6D, and then if you arrange that stacked array in a line you're representing 7D, then a square 8D, then another cube 9D etc.
It would get so utterly confusing by 9D that for most people it would be unplayable. Also, obtaining checkmate, even in 3D is hard I do not wish to contemplate it so if someone doesn't resign when they are well down, the game will continue for a very, very long time.
Also, you would need some way to easily represent the movement because traditionally we only need numbers and letters but for more dimensions, we need to find more characters or write something like 4.BwCx2yAz4

Not to be THAT guy but time is a dimension since it signifies a point of location like how the other dimensions do. It's just that it's based on Time and not distance
@@thekirbycrafter7229 time is already used in one of the 4 dimensions. (remember, you can go back in time and all just like if it was any other dimension). So you get 2 dimensions for the board, 1 dimension for time, 1 dimension for the parallel boards, adds up to 4.
If you added multi verse time travel to this would it be 6d?
@@brokoblin6284 No, the multiverse part is one D added to 3D and the time travel part is another D added to 3D, adding up to 5D in total. Even though normal chess is played in 2D it could be considered 3D because an actual chess board with chess pieces is a 3D object.
@@telnobynoyator_6183 with that logic you're still adding just 2ds to it unless you're saying it would have 7 dimensions? Which would be wierd since xy&z are all already a counted for. But idk I haven't gotten to those levels of math or science class yet.

Something just came to mind. An official 3D or 4D chess game would probably need to introduce new pieces that could move three or four degrees of diagonally, like how a bishop moves in a combined two directions, have a new piece that has to move in three directions. However, this would also give more mobility and power to the queen.
