I’m competing in a Mathematics race tournament thingy (no idea how to say this in English), and trying to understand this was a nice warmup. Thank you Skelly
Okay honestly, the game isn't "confusing" so much as "overwhelming" The actual rules are pretty straightforward. It's just that you have to keep track of a ludicrous amount of information. So it's less about trying to understand how to play, and more about trying to keep tabs on every board at the same time.
10:40 actually this is a softmate because the queen is actually captureable. there is still in theory a legal move (capturing the queen from another timeline) for that board but it doesnt exist yet. so its just softmate. (which actually happen in the game later so good for me) hardmate would be 2 pieces attacking either a king in the past or 2 different kings so that one king cant resolve both checks. making that board unresolveable. again at 15:08 just a softmate, the queen is technically still captureable by some other piece accross timelines.
5D chess uses up to the 5th dimension, but is not using 5 dimensions as it excludes the third dimension. This would be true 5th dimensional chess if the board was 3d
The cool thing is that bots have a hard time playing 5D chess because of the insane amount of possibilities. It limits their capacity to predict what will be the best move. This allows us humans, with enough learning, to become better than the current highest difficulty bot in 5D chess
Your 5D chess videos are of really good quality! I think that with learning a little bit more about the strategy you can make some really cool videos about this game. Definitely looking forward for any 5D chess video that you make on the future
Thank you! I believe at this point I have a pretty in-depth understanding of how the game works, but I still am not the best at strategy. In fact, I just lost to my older brother in his very first game of 5D chess with the fool's mate. I didn't even get the chance to time travel! I was too busy thinking in the wrong dimensions I somehow didn't notice what he was doing. I absolutely love this game though, so we'll see if I make more videos
@@huntedskelly I'm sure that with some games at the 5D Chess community you could become a pretty descent player because of your ability to understand the mechanics of the game. If you want I can teach you some of the basics of 5D chess strategy on of these days too. I'm pretty sure that you would do really well
Nice video! Unrelated but me and one of my friends were randomly sharing funny youtube videos and he showed me your how to kill a geologist video despite not having heard of you on scratch so when I told him that I was a fan of you and was in the unfamous it was pretty hilarious.
On that note, how well do you play normal chess? Were the strats familiar territory? I'm assuming they were, because- Do people download 5D chess mostly for the memes? Or the challenge? Also, that game was cool.
I'd say I'm decent at chess. I know some strategy, but I'm no expert either. I downloaded the game mostly for the meme, but I kept playing for the experience and enlightenment
@@-watermeloneater7204 No, you corrected me. I'm older than elementary school, and usually good at math. That's saying something. Also, you probably shouldn't be telling internet people how old you are.
10:48 this is actually not a hardmate, we call this a softmate. The difference is that in here there is the possibility to capture the queen from another timeline and get out from check. A hardmate is when there are 2 pieces delivering check from 1 board. The reason is because in a softmate you can technically still play for the recapture of the piece checking you. In a hardmate you can't take both pieces, it's either one or the other.
You know, you said the possibilities were literally infinite, but... I would love if someone smarter than both of us could prove or disprove that statement.
you know the official discord? we have a world champion. tournaments (even a new and low level tournament in registration right now with high level coaches for the players participating)
“Always protect yourself from the future while seeking opportunities to strike the past from the present” Damn that’s hardcore

Play it as an RTS rather than normal chess.
@khanch.6807 Y'know what that's actually a really good way to think about it!
Life is like chess, it depends on what pieces you get
i wish i had more queens 😭
Damn then my pieces suck
Plus time travel and multiverses
Get = your piece gets your opponents piece
Watching people get confused by 5D chess is fun and all, but seeing people come to actually understand it is truly thrilling.
Even after the explanation, my brain is still melting trying to understand this lol
I essentially understand it, I'm just surprised that it ever takes more than like 5 moves to win.

Welcome to the club! Hope your brain stays in one piece.
seeing people who understand the game play against eachother is honestly so fun.

This would be true 5th dimensional chess if the board was 3d
I was about to start my homework and then I got this notification and droped everything to watch this lol.
The bots in that game will have you checked in like 8 places by turn 15

The editing on this is awesome! I'm surprised this is such a small channel
It is quite a magnificent game, I love the logical movement through the temporal dimension.
absolutely inspiring. so beautiful.
Wait no it’s so confusing halp-
Didn't expect this but great job!! HuntedSkelly is Back! :D
can't believe i actually found this so early
16:55 how'd I know he was going to say that 😂

I've been hearing y'all talk about this in the SC discord. I love chess, this seems stupidly complicated, but also very interesting. Wonderful video!
i feel like i'm learning something but at the same time idk
I know there is a lot that the game just doesnt tell you.
but that big YOU WIN and YOU LOSE is something that it tells you
actually it called 5D Chess because it use the 1st, the 2nd, the 4th, and the 5th dimension the 3 goes "unused"
Knights use the 3rd to jump
@@killianobrien2007 nope, it's just regular jumps + time/timeline
IT’S A KNIGHT! And friendship isn’t a dimension. But other than that this video is amazing and hilarious (as usual).
love the amount of effort!! gud vid hunted! :DDD
Oh no. I’ve found another amazing channel to watch. My poor free time. Oh well, I’m enjoying it here.

“more then the grains if sand in earth”
bro is somebody counting grains of sand one grain at a time
Isn't the fifth dimension, the one the horse uses to jump over the other pieces? Like it uses the third dimension in normal chess?
Nah, the horses go through other pieces by way of quantum teleportation.
That sextuple mate was nuts.
Wow- i used to watch your scratch animatics YEARS ago. Your voice has changed so much!

5D is not a "five dimensions", it’s a "five days long games"
Great video lol
You see, Mallon, I have evidence of you saying otherwise in #other-content.
Congratulations! You made my brain explode!
Yes.
Can u still en passant ?
Why is it called 5D chess if there is only 4 dimensions to travel ?
Seems cool tho, I Will try it out
this is just like one of them animes
baller
Doors and corners.
i think i felt my brain implode 😭
As someone with 24h in 5d chess I still don't know I'f I win half the time
on 13:37 wouldn't be bishop on E3 a hardmate? 2 up 2 back in time?
I love this
10:50 I know I'm 9 months late but isn't that a softmate?
Can someone explain why White won at 2:03?
This was released an hour ago? Cool video anyways
0:00 bro why are you explaning chess 😂
if theres a Scratch craft seson 4 can i be in it
Very cool amazing maybe
badass
I tried to find 5d chess and couldn't
Did you search for it on steam?
Ayo
aaaahhhh
