    Fun fact: Since rooks can travel backwards as far as the board extends, if the rook lands on a space that has until then not seen a single piece move onto it, it can legally travel back in time all the way to the first board. The community has named this strategy the Jurassic Rook. If a queen does the same thing, besides being very dangerous, this maneuver is called a Creaceous Queen.

      I mean, all the same pieces are still there and their movements are the same, just extrapolated into different dimensions. So it’s arguably more similar to regular chess than some of the other variants he’s explained.

      To be fair, it doesnt actually matter for timeline travel anyway. The point of en passant is to prevent passed pawns from skipping via the double jump. But timeline passed pawns arent exactly powerful, since theres no timeline promotion, and new timelines can be created behind old ones prevent pawns from ever truly being passed

The difference is that besides that the AI's must run in 2 more dimensions, the board grows exponentially every turn, compared to 2D chess where the board is limiter. This means that if you try to approach the game with brute force, the AI will have a really difficult time processing the moves. Also you must give a set of openings to not die in the first 5 turns (because of an openings mating sequence pattern called the f7 sac). Right now AI's in 5D chess have been able to get full depth of 5 but it requires 30 minutes to do so. Without time travel, they are much faster though.

    When it comes to piece movement through time, it’s helpful to keep two things in mind: 1.) Pieces can now move on the z-axis to other boards, but their usual movement rules still apply. 2.) Said movement rules should be defined by their literal definitions of moving on an axis. We’ve only had two to work with, but 5D chess offers the z-axis as a third choice when it comes to movement. A knight technically doesn’t move in a L-shape. It moves two spaces on one axis, then one space in another direction on another axis. Now that we’ve introduced the z-axis, the knight can travel back in time and travel like a one-space-moving rook if it goes two spaces along the z-axis into the past. Bishops don’t move diagonally, they move one space on an axis and one space on another as many times as they want. This can also mean the z-axis, meaning the bishop can move like a rook if it goes into the past.

    This is probably the most complete explanation of this game I've seen! You explained a bunch of little details that I see most people overlook. The one thing I wish you had explained was *why* the pieces move how they do through time. Because the way you described it made it seem arbitrary and like a lot of stuff to remember. Like, I wish you had said "The rook is able to travel any distance in one direction at a time" and explained and given some examples and "the bishop is able to travel any distance in exactly 2 directions at once" "the queen can travel any distance in any number of directions" "the knight moves 2 spaces in one direction and one space in another" and so on.

      Let go of bishops and queens moving “diagonally”. They technically do not. Think about them travelling multiple directions at once. For example, a bishop moves 2 directions at once. Usually, this would be both the x and the y axis, but when travelling back in time, one of those axis is time, so the other axis must either be x or y. Also, the reason why the spaces keep getting further apart with each board is because the number of spaces moved have to be the same with both axises. Eg, if the bishop moves 2 spaces diagonally to the top left corner, the bishop moved 2 spaces to the left and 2 spaces up.

    For some, it may be easier to remember the pieces' movements as legitimately being the same as normal chess, because they are in a certain way. The rook can travel across 1 dimension at a time, the bishop has to travel in 2 dimensions simultaneously and equally, etc.

    • @Moley1Moleo
      @Moley1Moleo 3 роки тому +49

      This is very useful for most pieces. It can struggle with the Pawn and Queen since the definition of their movement is unclear.
      e.g. In regular chess, there are two equivalent ways to explain Queen movement.
      1. The Queen can move any number of squares orthogonally or diagonally (i.e. like either a rook or bishop).
      2. The Queen can move any number of spaces in any direction (which in 5d chess means to move like a rook, bishop, unicorn, or dragon.)
      5D chess uses the 2nd definition for the Queen, using 1. for the 'Princess' variant.
      Similar with pawns and brawns.

    It's interesting how the longer explanations are needed for people. When I heard bishops must move diagonally, it made sense that they attack horizontally or vertically across time, because that's a diagonal, and that they control the square they are on diagonally across time and dimensions. Even funnier was hearing Hikaru say "That's not an L shape" watching a knight move back through time when it totally was, just the L shape wasn't geometrically laid out for him so he could see it that way.

    • @MusikCassette

The big difference obviously now being that there are not only {horizontal+vertical} but {horizontal+vertical+time+timeline}.

    @peacefuldawn6823 3 роки тому +4

    A mathematical way to understand piece movement is via changes in value on 4 axis (x, y, time and parallel):
    Knights - move 2 on one axis and 1 in another. In normal chess, this means 2x,1y, or 1x,2y (creating an L-shape). In 5d chess, this can be 1x,2t or 2t,1p, etc.
    Bishops - move n amount of spaces in 2 axis. So when they move a certain number of spaces on one axis, they must move the same amount of spaces on another axis. In normal chess, this creates the diagonal. In 5d chess, this makes them move laterally when time travelling.
    Rooks - move n amount of spaces in 1 axis. In normal chess, this gives them lateral movement. In 5d chess, this confines them to staying on the same square when time travelling.
    Queen - moves n amount of spaces in any number of axis. In normal chess, this lets them move as either a rook or bishop. In 5d chess, this gives them insane mobility when time travelling, allowing for ridiculous checkmates.

    If you checkmate on an inactive board that prevents the opponent from timetraveling since the active of time traveling by the opponent would either allow you to make a new timeline or for the more recent timeline you created to become active. The only loopholes is if the first move the opponent makes is a time traveling and dimension hoping and removes the checkmate.

    @Luigicat11 3 роки тому +11

    You could've explained the movement a little better. For example, Rooks must move to the same board space across boards because they move orthogonally (in only one dimension at a time) and time is a dimension, and bishops move diagonally (two dimensions at a time) so when moving through time it looks like they also move orthogonally, but that's because the other dimension they're moving in is through time. Knights move two in one dimension and one in another, or vice versa. Kings and especially Queens were majorly buffed since they can also move triagonally (in three dimensions at a time) like the Unicorn fairy piece the game includes and quadragonally (in all four dimensions that can be used for movement at once) like the Dragon fairy piece introduced by 5D Chess.
    Speaking of, will there be a followup on the fairy pieces that you might see in the non-standard board setups?

    Some vocabulary you might use to describe the movement of pieces is orthogonal (same as rook), diagonal (same as bishops), triagonal (it is a diagonal in 3 dimensions, meaning instead of walking multiples of the vector (1,1,0,0), for example, it will walk on a (1,1,1,0) vector. For example, they go 3 squares to the past, 3 squares to right and 3 squares up. A quadragonal is a (1,1,1,1), which means you need to choose all 4 dimensions. Going to the past (or future) going to an adjacent timeline, and diagonal on the board.

  • @BlazeMakesGames
    @BlazeMakesGames 2 роки тому +1

    The easier way of thinking of piece movement is to try and think of each piece's movement patterns in terms of generalized dimensions. So a normal board is a 2 dimensional plane with length and width. And for example a Rook can move along only a single dimension at a time. It can only move straight up and down or left and right, but not both simultaneously. Thus when we add in the extra dimensions of time and parallel universes, then it can only move along those dimensions, while not moving along any other dimensions. Thus if a Rook moves through time, it cannot move through length or width or other universes at the same time. Thus we can label these dimensions as X and Y for a normal boardspace, T for time, and P for parallel universes.
    So going to the other pieces, a Bishop is a piece that must move in exactly two dimensions simultaneously. Again on a normal board this means it must move the same number of spaces in the X and Y directions. A diagonal move of one space is after all one space to the left or right and one space up and down. Thus in this format, this means that if a Bishop wants to move through Time or T, it must only move in X or Y, and no longer in both. Or if a Bishop wants to move in the T and P dimensions simultaneously, it can't move its X and Y coordinates at all.
    A Knight's movement is generalized as moving two spaces in one dimensions, and then one space in another dimension. These can be any two dimensions as long as they're two different ones. So if you move 2 spaces in time it must then move one space in X, Y, or P. etc.
    Queens and Kings are actually probably the easiest to understand. Normally a Queen is thought of as the combination of a Rook and a Bishop but in this game it is much much more powerful than that. Because the way the queen was generalized was by defining her movement as being able to move in any number of dimensions simultaneously. This means that a queen can move not only like a Rook and a Bishop, but they can also do things those pieces cannot do. For example a Queen could move in the X, Y, and T dimensions simultaneously, allowing her to move like a bishop while moving through time. She could even move through all four dimensions at the same time, moving through Time, Parallel universes, and still ended up on a different space than when she started. This makes your Queen extremely powerful and worth way way more than she is normally in standard chess.
    Kings are of course fairly simple. They operate like Queens but are limited to only moving 1 space at a time, they can just do it in any number of dimensions at once. This makes Kings pretty hard to nail down of course since they can dodge to different timelines and spaces at the same time even with their limited movespeed. But with how insane this game can get, it kinda makes sense that the King would need this kind of power to not just get checkmated instantly. Most games with people trying to play like normal at the start, will quickly devolve into a maze of parallel universes once the player getting put in check realizes that they can escape most situations by jumping through time and universes.
