Fuck me! Thank you so much! Only your video was the path to truth. People kept giving horrible verbal descriptions, and i was going to toss this minigame aside regardless of the reward. You save me! You saved us all!
last time i checked this wasnt in the orginal game and seeing it upset me the area i hated already from the classic game cause it was always a pain anyways this just made it worse due to the fact it locked me out of a upgrade, thanks needed this
on max puzzle difficulty figures are already moved, so it doesn't work there UPD: so I can fail it and restart with normal starting positions, didn't knew that
Thanks, was super helpful. My first playthrough had a partial game that I was able to eventually solve on my own, but I am not that good at chess, and was really struggling with the full board.
Ok so if anyone is curious, this guide is still viable however the "uncomplete" chess game is no longer present but some other obscure version of chess, I dont know chess sorry. So in a way this guide is great if you screw up the first time.
I got lucky and it still worked for me in 2024. I don't think they patched it out, you just have to get lucky and have the AI take this sequence of actions. I'm glad it worked for me lol.
Sometimes this game is a bit too true to the original '90s brutal lack of hand holding. I don't remember the original having chess in it. I was into chess back then so I might have breezed it. Nearly 30 years later I'm glad of this post. Thanks.
I hate playing chess was thinking if I wanted to play board games I wouldn't be playing pc games the Ai seemed unbeatable until I found this had to save and reload few times to get it to do that start but glad it worked I was actually going mad lol
I'm ok when games asked me to do puzzles, mini games or some additional efforts in order to gain critical upgrades. But a full chess game with that misleading camera angle, high difficulty just felt so unnecessary, out of place and frustrating... Thanks for the video.👍
As far as I understand, when you first enter the zone, the chess board will be set to a random mid-game configuration. In my case, the board was set such that I could reach a checkmate in just 2 moves. I don't know how random the starting configuration is or if it always puts the player in such a strong position but my advice would be to check the state of that config first before resetting the match back to start.
Yeah. I created 60 possible start puzzles (20 for each difficulty, 17 being standard ‘chess puzzles’ with a solution possible normally with 2-5 moves IIRC) and 3 of the games are like a hoard chess variant, with multiple of certain pieces.
Do you know how to get a full game of chess? I'm on ps5 and it starts random. So i lost on purpose thinking it would reset and it did not. It just said they won and now i can't interact with any of it.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I'm following the moves exactly, but the CPU keeps making different moves then what your showing! Please! Someone help!
If Red makes different moves than in the video, just google "Next Chess Move calculator". Put the pieces in the right positions and click "calculate next move". Do the same move in the game. Switch between website and System shock with ALT+ TAB.

@@Draiko1998 but it's a part of the game and I hate that I'm not given the chance to be able to play a part in a game I'm playing just because some silly developer put in something like this assuming that everyone knows how to play chess or even just has desire to learn. personally I don't want to but luckily there are a lot of sites online that tell you what to do, move by move, and I even got through this stupid part, I finished the game, I uninstalled it and I put it in oblivion to never play it again
@@sonosoloio I will only agree with this partially because they should have not put something as important as inventory space upgrade behind a quite difficult chess AI. Either put an easier level AI to play against, or put something less important such as a gun mod for winning the game. The inventory upgrades are perhaps the most important things to collect.
@@journeytosilius1 Yep! Maybe giving you chance to select difficulty level before start the chess game. Anyway, I'm still trying to figure out what chess piece is on the board, lol. Some are simple, like the tokens but...
FANTASTIC. Thank you very much! I don't like chess, but I like System Shock, so thanks for letting me get back to playing the normal game!
If only they didn't put one of the most important optional upgrade in behind this puzzle.
It's imo quite underwheling how small the inventory upgrades are.
An entire row per upgrade would have been acceptable.
This is like huge slap for non chess players
after an hour and a half of trying, I had to use this video guide. Thank you very much for helping
Fuck me! Thank you so much! Only your video was the path to truth. People kept giving horrible verbal descriptions, and i was going to toss this minigame aside regardless of the reward. You save me! You saved us all!
It worked! Holy hell, been trying to beat it for hours :D, thank you so much :3
They altered the puzzle.
If you lose it will reset. After the first reset I had this board.
Absolutely brilliant. I tried for a half hour on my own but I'm just not great at chess and this worked perfectly. Really appreciate it!
I was going to quit this game in rage thanks to you I can continue in peace.
You Sir, deserve a Medal!! It's been driving me crazy since I have no idea how to play chess and didn't want to learn.
Man, you are the lifesaver! It worked for me first time I tried it! Many, MANY thanks!
I kinda feel dirty using this but damn this was the hardest game of chess in my life
Thank you! I kept trying to figure out the nasty random scenario it started me in till I saw this and realised losing the first game wasn't so bad.
Came here and everything wemt exactly like this video. Thank you so much!!!
last time i checked this wasnt in the orginal game and seeing it upset me the area i hated already from the classic game cause it was always a pain anyways this just made it worse due to the fact it locked me out of a upgrade, thanks needed this
One of the best videos on the internet. Thank you.
I've been doing this for the last hour without success, thank you so much 🙏🏻 have a blessed life!!!
Awesome video. I appreciate the assistance to beating this puzzle.
OH. MY. GOD. Thak you, a lot! I almost lost my mind trying to beat it! And you did it so easy!
thank you very much! I won the computer once on my first playthrough, but it was very difficult for me. Thanks to this trick I eased my suffering.
Thanks for this, i recently started it and as a not very good chess player, this genuinely saved me.
on max puzzle difficulty figures are already moved, so it doesn't work there
UPD: so I can fail it and restart with normal starting positions, didn't knew that
Thanks, was super helpful. My first playthrough had a partial game that I was able to eventually solve on my own, but I am not that good at chess, and was really struggling with the full board.
Worked like a charm! Thank you so much for this!!
YOU ARE A GODDAMN LIFESAVER BRO. I literally hate chess and yet I had to play this shit here
Sir you are a godsend. Tried doing it the normal way and hated it
thank you man, I didn't know the board can reset. I thought once you lose the initial game that was it
i thought the same. when you stand on the platform in front of the door you enter from and push the button itll raise you up and reset the board!
Oh thank you so much once I sold the reward was afterwards I'm so glad I watched this to finish it
This puzzle sucks because of the perspective. I was having a hard time all because I couldn't see wtf was happening.
Thanks a lot man!! This fucker is 2000 rated or what? I couldnt beat it, couldnt advance un game for this. Thanks for the hand!
It worked exactly like in this video, thanks!
Thank you man. Not a chess player and I do not intend to learn by playing System Shock.
This was a big help, thanks for uploading

Thanks so much. I was struggling a lot with this puzzle. Not good at chess!
Thank you a lot
I mean a lot
You have done a great favour for me
I tried myself for two hours bit chess is more than knowing the rules . Thanks a lot. With your tutorial i did it within a minute :-)
Thank you!
Heavens, that really worked, saved me a lot of wasted lifetime, thanks mate!

Thanks a lot for this!:)
Thanks so much! If I wanted to play chess I'd buy a chess game...

i tried to pull a queen gambit aswell think i need to re study it

Great guide, been years sense i played chees and i suck at it.
Большое спасибо за помощь, не умею играть в шахматы))
Checked. Still works as of june 11th 2024.
Thank you so much!
Have a like, my hero
It still works on June 8 2024! Thank you!! 😊
Didn't on the 22nd!!
i dont think this works anymore unless im missing somthing. when i came across this puzzle i did not have a full set.
I wish we could logic probe this sucker but thank you
love you bro ❤
Your an absolute chad
Great man! Could do it, no shame! I know how to move pieces but true is I hate chess! Thanks a lot! Could go on without wasting my precious time!
I'm ok when games asked me to do puzzles, mini games or some additional efforts in order to gain critical upgrades.
But a full chess game with that misleading camera angle, high difficulty just felt so unnecessary, out of place and frustrating...
Thanks for the video.👍
Thanks for the guidance
King's Gambit nice !
You’re a G! Had zero interest in taking this chess stuff seriously

I don't know how random the starting configuration is or if it always puts the player in such a strong position but my advice would be to check the state of that config first before resetting the match back to start.
Ok
if it's simply to the puzzle, the starting state is likely random from a pool of pre built.
Yeah. I created 60 possible start puzzles (20 for each difficulty, 17 being standard ‘chess puzzles’ with a solution possible normally with 2-5 moves IIRC) and 3 of the games are like a hoard chess variant, with multiple of certain pieces.
@@puzzlethecheetah Interesting. Thank you!
Thank you !!
Move 3 won’t work for me, that piece won’t go that far
Thank you
Thank you for the tutorial
Thank you🙂
Nice!
ty a lot man
THANK YOU I suck at chess
Crazy!!!
Do you know how to get a full game of chess? I'm on ps5 and it starts random. So i lost on purpose thinking it would reset and it did not. It just said they won and now i can't interact with any of it.
Lower your elevated platform that you're on to play the chess then raise it back up and it should reset
Thank u so much, I hate chess
I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I'm following the moves exactly, but the CPU keeps making different moves then what your showing! Please! Someone help!
If Red makes different moves than in the video, just google "Next Chess Move calculator". Put the pieces in the right positions and click "calculate next move". Do the same move in the game. Switch between website and System shock with ALT+ TAB.
To bad my game does different moves 😢
Fuck chess.
Cool, but I finished game faster then find this tutorial. Offensively!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Still doesn't work for me because the hostile AI doesn't behaves like in your video :(
Literally did not work, I am never beating this

Ty so much.
👍
Actually does not work
Thank you!!!! Ughhhh
What a way to kill the momentum of the game with this bullshit
I found this guide but thought meh Im a chess master an yep destroyed this chess game in a few minutes in first try whoop whoop
What?! do you even have to play chess in this game? that's it, I'll uninstall it and try to forget that I wasted the money to buy it.
You don't "have to", I didn't play that part of the game, it is not necessary to beat the game
