This is the first puzzle where I actually got frustrated watching him struggle. The movement of the pieces just back and forth not actually moving anything around was rough.
I agree, watching him make the same moves like 10x in a row was hella frustrating, first video i've seen him having this kind of trouble with a simple mechanism. watching him be like "these two pins aren't it" then wiggling the pins around and then poking the same two and saying "these two pins aren't it". yeah, you've already said that
I feel like he needs to do an old fashioned slider puzzle, might keep him busy for a while. I was so frustrated watching 🤦
It isn't the first one for him, he has done it before. As someone who is good at tracking pieces it is particularly frustrating watching the piece he established as the magnetic one as he loses track of it and tries the same two wrong ones 10 times in a row. He also is terrible at the logistics of moving the pieces, which is why he kept moving the same pieces into positions instead of actually trying pieces he hadn't tried before.
he should think about playing Rush Hour that helps with this type of puzzle i think
Was looking for this comment usually I am so impressed but this left me so frustrated. Like why are you moving that one that is the same one lol
Bro I swear to God these intros are better than 99% of Hollywood movies.
I agree
Not just Hollywood,
@@khalisaisar1119 u right
This is indeed a fact
Then what's the 1% that's better than the intros?
Good intro! As a chess player I appreciated the classical music and recording of Garry Kasparov.
As a chess player you should have also noticed the wrong order of the pieces in the intro. That hurts as a chess player…
@@acextcacextc I did I just didn’t want to mention it. At this point I’ve just come to expect that non chess players almost actively elect to set up boards wrong. Kinda like my son. He has never once put on his underwear right. It’s always backwards. Always. So I just sigh and change it. The bad chess setup is almost a meme at this point. If I could sigh and fix the board I would. But it’s a video so I can’t. Rip.
@@dipertag that's the most chilled yet burning, well-written comment I've seen.
I almost felt the second-hand embarrassment for user ace.
I'mma sub even if you have no content
As a chess player I realized that the music was also used during the Candidates Tournament and Carlsen vs Nepo
seeing him forget which one was the magnetic one when you know which one it is is probably the most frustrating part
it was painful to say the least
if they had two sets of pawns with opposite magnetic polarity and then some of the magnets on the box match with some of the pawns, and not only do you have to find the magnetic spots and magnetic pawns, but you have to find the ones with the right polarity, this would be the most brutal puzzle ever designed.
Yes! I was late coming, I saw your comment after...I was thinking that while watching...get a patent on the design! 😅👍😁
Holy shit 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@musicaddicted79 is
I thought about that, but I think the pawns with opposite polarities would push against each other a bit, kind of giving away the game. It'd work, but once you figure out the polarity thing, it's a simple matter of figuring out which pawns/magnets have which polarity, so it doesn't add too much to the puzzle, I think.
@@TheDarkMessiah, any addition adds to the complexity...
Omg you have to move the two pawns on the right to the top right slot and THEN move the new pawn to the bottom right haha that was so frustrating to see you not do that so many times XD
I had to skip that part after suffering over a minute D:
@@beng6173 Hahaha I had to rewatch it to figure out where he lost the magnetic pawn!!
@@tyfunk8614 Dude hands down the most infuriating solve I've watched lol. Most of the puzzles I'm just in a trance watching him figure it out. This one I had all the movements in my head yelling at him to just do it right! Lol
@@demTICKSdoe so glad I'm not the only one.. First video of his that was actually pissing me off. Couple minutes in and I was hoping he would keep moving them till the correct pawn was trapped on the other side so he'd have to practically start over.. This gave me actual anger 🤣
Yes. Definitely anger inducing 😅 always moving one piece up and one down had me literally complaining to the screen 😂
Not gonna lie....I was talking to the screen during this one! I love how I can *think* I see a solution during your videos, when in reality, I would probably take 4X as long as you do to come up with a solution...😂🤣😂
The realest fan base I’ve ever witnessed. proud to be a part of this community even the dark times.
100% facts
Aren’t we all
Yes
Well said - completely agree 🤟
dark times?
Let’s goooo . Another Ramsay video! Love you man! Best intros! So much effort! So skilled! And the puzzle solving/ magic content itself is sick! Keep up the good work mate!
Take a drink everytime Chris says "educated guess" or "magnetic". lol
welp... now im dead... but they still got youtube in heaven..
You would be drunk really fast. He lost track of which are magnetic really quickly and had to retest some.
Great intro as usual! You channel would be worth subscribing just to view all the intro videos.
I also love that you leave small clues about some of the tricks like the small flash at 1:10 if somebody really likes to learn the trick and needs some hints.
Quality craftsmanship.
Another quality upload.
Cheers, Chris.
The quality of your contents are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Yes.
Hi Chris!!!! I ended up stumbling on to your channel by mistake and let me say this, I haven't stopped watching yet!!!!! These puzzles are mad crazy and sick!!!!!!!! I have now found my favorite channel. I wouldn't be able to come close to solving these. Your awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I just say like no joke your videos are some of the most calming to me. They really are. They help me relax at the end of a very long day when I get out of the hospital. Thank you
Hahaha wie er Schachkiste ausspricht…ich liebe deine Videos !
The time and patience that gos into any of the puzzles that you show on your channel are mind blowing let alone the craftsmanship right down to the finest details
Any chance we could bring back the old clock/timer on the table?
No, because he’s a fraud trying to impress a bunch of 12 year olds. Also half of his comments and subscribers are fake via purchased packages
@@Ravenz4 then why are you here? commenting under his video? doesn't that mean that you ARE watching his videos?
@@Ravenz4 wow, who hurt u
Absolutely love your puzzle videos! Normally I feel lost during the puzzle box videos but this was the first time it got a little frustrating watching you toggle the pieces and forget the magnetic ones. Your intros are the BOMBBB ❤️❤️❤️
Screaming so hard at my laptop! You lost it Chris!!! Entertaining as always Sir. The intro and the music selection, loved it.
I check every day to see if there’s a new video from you. Absolutely love the production in these videos and have always loved your content. Keep it up man!
My personal favorites are your deck reviews since I also collect decks now. Btw also love your decks. Hoping to see that V5 reveal someday 👀
I saw Mr. Puzzle solve this. I had it figured out in like a minute when I figured out the magnet thing. It reminds me of those old number sliders, where you're trying to get the numbers in order after scrambling them, but without a set place for each number, and just having to get a magnetic piece to the right spot.
If you let me be honest here, I like magic but I'm not that into puzzles. But the intros you guys are making, they're just amazing!
Even two years ago this guy's intros were works of art in their own right!
I spent half an hour watching the trick over and over, and when I got it, I literally slapped my forehead with how simple it is. Well played trick sir, well played. Man, magic is cool.
Yes, Obi Wan.
2:59 "We have what looks to be a chess puzzle"
You don't say
more like a pawn puzzle
why isn’t anyone talking about the card trick in the beginning? i’m actually crapping my pants like how did he just do that
There's another pin in the drawer itself, so when you turn it upside-down, the 'magnet' pins unlock, but that extra drawer pin drops down and locks it again.
Just came here to say the same thing!
Can't believe Chris missed that. Even in the edit he should have been able to see the pin in the drawer front.
@@anthony2816 I suppose if you turn the drawer itself upside down it would have become obvious.
Found this guy on facebook and now 'am binge watching his videos for the past week or so... Greetings from Brazil, Mr. Chris!
never been more frustrated watching you solve a puzzle and missing things haha
Glad I'm not the only one!
Right
That intro was cinematic
Looks so good!!
Props to the editor and the team!!
This is gonna be interesting
Me:*Buys Chess board*
Chris:*proceeds to open my chess board*
I really enjoy the background music that you have on while solving puzzles. Some of the music is peaceful and reminds me of a cafe that I used to frequent to before the pandemic
Ah, the days without fear, DJT ruins everything.
Had some fun with the macro in that intro!!! So nice!! LETS GO!! Best on UA-cam.
I’m literally just watching your video, on Snapchat and now you post🙌🏻 And also that intro was beautiful🤩
The intros usually are
You missed the genius of this puzzle! There's a pin on the bottom to stop it from being solved by flipping over.
Which could mean that you can solve it by spinning.
Seeing the card peeking over your shoulder in the intro in no way diminishes the awesomeness of this video.
Gotta love it when you actually get a notification that one of your favorite channels uploaded.
Usually when I am ready to go to bed or just getting up, aaargh!
It‘s always wonderful to hear that you can speak german still very well. Best regards from a german fan :-).
Listened to every BOB episode in one week, it’s awesome to see Chris on a more personal and uncensored level
12:47 he solved it for several minutes then "here we go"🤣🤣🤣
You make the type of content you would watch late at night or on a tv.
Bro keep it up with the cinematic intros they really give the video another vibe also the music is suited very well.
This is the first intro that I didn't skip. Love the animation part.
Chris if y’all made a cool puzzle related movie I KNOW we would all watch it. Doesn’t even have to be like 2 hours long my pal but I think idk maybe doing something different for a bit could be good for your mental health too. I know we all love watching you sit there do puzzles for god knows how many hours in a row but idk - I can’t imagine that not being kinda mentally taxing. I love the intros and all your videos so much tho and appreciate all the work you put into them! Think you’d make a great movie and main character
This man doesnt know me any at all and doesn't realize how much he has influenced me and help mold me to the man i am today.
hope you meet him one day
@@minsugageniusjjangjjangman2534 yeah that'd be cool
This could not be a better timing. I just finished watching the entire puzzle playlist.
As always a fantastic intro.. This was the best one so far.
Appreciate for your feedback! And thanks for watching for more guidance..

I have never seen Chris go back and forth so much, he even kept using the same two pieces a few times.
Pause at 0:58 and look right under his ear. What does that look like to y’all?
Wonderful choice of music in the intro. That Violin was pure bliss.
Edit: Just checked the composer, and the Album is actually called "The Art of Loneliness". Never heard of the Composer before.
Considering that i suffer from severe Depression and Loneliness for Decades, no wonder the Music kinda spoke to me.
I don't know Chris but once you found that one was magnetic in my opinion I found it super simple to try all the pawn on one spot and then follow the magnetic pawns in each position. I don't know how you were struggling.
Nice one Chris... Always fun to watch... And funny watching u lose track of the pieces... Next one plz !!
anyone else watch chris when going to bed? his videos are so relaxing for some reason 😁💜
Oops, flash... ;) That was cool, I may have to try it myself. I like the small tricks at the beginning of videos, keep them up!
Great video!! I’m not for sure if anyone else has said it but there looks to be a pin in the draw so when you turn it upside down it locks the draw.
The 64 people that didn't like your video is the people that watched your video, bought the puzzle and still couldn't solve it with your help 😂😆😆😂. Stay blessed brotha, thank you for getting me into puzzles brotha it helps with my sobriety and keeps me saint..
Dropped the live timer I see! No shame in that. Makes it way more believable. Good job man!
Oh wait .... now it's a watch .. easier to change ... shame!
I loved how you said "Schachkiste" because I'm from Germany and it just sounded so funny :)
I love every intro for every video, they are super well made.
Appreciate for your feedback! And thanks for watching for more guidance..

That intro was really the best from this Year!!!
Bro what the- Even I could keep track of that magnetic pawn you keep "losing" but I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that last bit of editing.
Yh was so frustrating to watch his struggle without being able to help xd
@@MortenSMortenS Yeah, I hope he was tired or tried some "hiding stuff" first. He is usually better at keeping track.
I always skipped his intros
But today I watched it and i regret that i skipped the previous ones
Pieces: [pawns]
Chris at the beginning: *"pegs"*
lets say pawn shaped pegs and make everyone right?
Hahhaha I felt a tiny bit offended when he talked "german" XD I only understood the chess part. No clue what word he used for box hahahhaah
He said "Schachkiste" or rather Kischte 😅
I think someone else commented this, but I love the classical music and GM Gary Kasparov's voice, as I also am a chess player. These puzzles keep getting interesting!
Speaking of puzzle stashes: Hosted a party once, and created a simple puzzle. Insisted everybody put their car keys in a beer mug in the freezer. I figured people who /really/ didn't need to drive wouldn't remember, and a handful did take quite a while to figure out where they were. At least they were a LOT more sober by the time they remembered, and were more open to having our DDs (we had a kinda complicated system with delayed drinkers and those that didn't drink, and a handful of off work bouncers that could be very convincing) drive them home. Not a crazy party, just a lot of wonderfully crazy people. Found out later people were still talking about that party several months later, and not negatively. Did a head count at one point and there were at least 40 people either inside or in the back yard, and estimates were that over 100 people cycled through. You /know/ it's a good party when you stayed up until just before dawn, wake up around 3 or 4pm and there is MORE alcohol on the premises than when you started. :P
Honestly, given you've done some puzzles with far more complex movements than this, I'm amazed you struggle SO long at this.
All the branches with magnets are 'long' arms, allowing two pieces (one above the magnet, and another below it), but the two non-magnetic branches are 'short' arms (one piece).
For the corner magnets arms, you need to put your target piece to test in the short arm, then slide the two pieces occupying the long arm past it. If it's not magnetic, leave it there. If the next piece available needs testing, move it to the short arm, otherwise move it to the long arm. Then put your next piece to test in the short arm. Rinse and repeat.
Don't know if anyone mentioned it yet, but the drawer had a pin up front to prevent it from being opened if turned upside down! Nice touch!
I had watched your content a while back and I wanted to look at it again and see ehat you were doing. My god these intros are fucking amazing! The videos are too man keep this shit up!
that intro legit looks like something that would be the intro for a Sherlock Holmes or a similar crime solving show with an intelligent lead

When the notification popped up I thought it said cheese box wasn't sure what I was walking into for the intro but I was excited your vids are always amazing
One my top fav channels thanks Chris for your content man wacth all your videos here on the east coast N.B
Admit it…the best part is ALWAYS the little music stop right before something‘s about to happen! 👀
Man, that was a good trick! However, I can just kinda *kinda* see the edge of the spade 5 behind your neck earlier in the vid (0:58)... Dunno what it means, because the chain does not seem to spin during the reveal... I dunno. One question: Is the deck clean after the trick? Again, great trick!
Noice find there sir
@@Kaleb_m_g Thx!
I can't figure out how he moved it down, but he definitely very carefully hides his neck-area with the 5 from the deck and the rest of the deck when he spreads it. It disappears from the back of his neck as soon as it goes behind the 5 from the deck as he's showing it off. EDIT: Nevermind, I see how it worked. I won't reveal it publicly though.
@@Kiesmander yeah once you see "it" the mechanics are simple and clever and something that only works on UA-cam but at the same time doesn't because we can sit here and pick it apart.
@@Kiesmander lol..... yeah it's kind of amazing when you "see" how the trick is done
Bro, that magic trick at the beginning is SO EPIC.
I think I have the first trick figured out and I'm a little impressed by myself. Don't wanna spoil for anyone else tho. Love your work! Keep it up!
I like chess. Every opponent you play is a puzzle. Best strategy game ever
Great job i love the elegant music n the clicking
I would love a series of you meeting the designers of the puzzles an the trying out their new ones.
Since they are sold out at puzzle master and in case someone's trying to find one, I found one on l'Insoluble Casse-Tête website
Your right. That click sound is very satisfying
If I had to guess, that card trick involved a card hiding the “necklace”card, held on by some means (magnets?), and the back of the “masking card” looked like the back of the other cards, with the front showing a false chain bottom and black which matched the shirt. Swiping the deck across the “masking card” removes the mask and reveals the “necklace card”, which was there all along. Just a guess. (Or it was visual effects.)
Well done sir!
There are likely magnets in the drawer as well. Those would hold the pins in place so that you can't simply turn it upside down. The magnets in the pawns are stronger so that they can pull the pin away from the drawer magnets
Gaff card with the bead through it. It was hidden on top of the deck it also has magnets on the back. You actually took a five spades and stuffed it inside the deck no problem. When you grab the card put it around your neck to pull the chain off you actually had the real five spades already through the beaded chain and you dropped or sleeved if you will through the neck the other card. 👍
Agreed. You can see the other flutter around when he's reaching behind his head.
How excited you look with your own card trick haha so cute
I don't think I've ever seen you make a puzzle look so frustrating before 😂. You made some of the switches so much more difficult than they needed to be haha! Was entertaining though.

Whoever is the one person who clicked the dislike button has serious issues, your content is the best! How could they not like it?!
Miss clicks from the drunk people watching lol
dont know if anyone has mentioned this but @0:57 you can see the card peeping out just under the cap visor and it can be seen more clearly as the time goes on
Ey bro just wanted to let you know I was so pumped and surprised to see you on spiral awsome man 👍🏽
Noone:
Chris: *DE SCHACCHH KISHTE*
Me: oh no he did not...
Nice solve Chris! I have been watching your videos for quite a while now and it seems to me that you solved a very similar puzzle at one point? 🤔🤔😉😉
The five on the necklace behind your back comes out a little too fast over your right shoulder (I assume by accident). I would make sure to rotate the necklace to your left before the reveal a bit more. Very nice illusion! The hang is very well done!
C- "that is all the way through and now!..."...*awkwardly stares at camera like a senior class photo*
Good luck for your next videos bor big fan
Amazing job on the intro. Definitely one of my favorites.
Magic, like comedy, is best in 3's. Glad you chose the 5 of spades, though.😉
It looks like you could hide a deck of cards in the puzzle. Love the intro
