      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.

    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.

      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

      SPOILER
      -play c3 and Qb3 as white, or c6 and Qb6 as black.
      -if the bot puts a knight on the H file, move your D pawn 2 squares and take it.
      -just wait for a couple of moves, and it should begin sacrificing its pieces. If you struggle with the process, bait the bot with defended pawns, to provoke it to take them. Also, at any point, you can just time travel with your queen and checkmate the bot.

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. Alpha Zero or Leela would struggle a lot because they don't understand the concept of time checks, and time travels.

    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.

    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 ปีที่แล้ว +48

      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.

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.

    @peacefuldawn6823 3 ปีที่แล้ว +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.

    @Luigicat11 3 ปีที่แล้ว +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 ปีที่แล้ว +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.

    quick note / question; you didn't explain how the princess and dragon pieces work, and I was really wondering how they worked. I know that they aren't part of the normal board, but they are a part of the game, so I was really hoping to learn more about them since I'm still very confused about them.

      The princess has the same move set as the rook and bishop combined.
      The dragon moves quaDRAGONally. It must move in all 4 dimensions. The dimensions are left/right in the board, up/down in the board, forwards/backward through time, and across timelines.
      It’s like a bishop: it has to move diagonally. But it also has to move diagonally through time (both across a timeline and a turn forward/backwards)

    Another way to think of the movement is this (please correct anything I missed or got wrong):
    * If a piece moves in multiple dimensions, it must move the exact same number of spaces in each dimension.
    * The king may move 1 space in 1-4 dimensions
    * The queen may move any number of space in 1-4 dimensions
    * A rook may move any number of spaces in an single dimension
    * A bishop may move any number of spaces in exactly 2 dimensions
    * A knight may move any two spaces in 1 dimension and 1 space in a different one, ignoring intervening pieces
    * A pawn may only move 1 space towards opponent's side or opponent's created timelines; it may move two spaces on it's first move. To capture, as well as it's normal single space movement, it also moves left, right or back one time step

    A better explanation of the piece movements "time and timelines count as directions, the rook moves any number of spaces in one dimension, the bishop moves any number of spaces in two dimensions as long as that number is the same, the queen moves an equal ammount of spaces in any number of dimensions

    For those wondering how close this is to 5D:
    - Pieces making normal chess moves only move in 2D. Well, you could say it includes a time dimension (since pieces move towards the future), but it's not like those pieces have full access that time dimension (which would include going to the past/present/future by this game's rules).
    - Pieces moving only thru time move in a 3D manner across previous boards (treating those boards as 3rd spatial board states), so it may be argued that these pieces are making a move in 2 spatial dimension (2SD) and 1 time dimension (1TD) since movement back in time may account for the 3D-like movement; on the flip side, it could also be seen as 3SD movement across 1TD. While it does spawn a new timeline branch, that could be considered a property of a time movement (since no chess piece in normal chess can go back in time, meaning there are no concrete rules for how it works).
    - Pieces moving across the connected timeline branches without time travel do so in a 3D manner by treating the alternate boards as a 3rd SD. I'm... not sure it counts as moving across a TD (idk of any good rule on how pieces move thru time), but I feel a move that doesn't go to a "past/future" board state doesn't move thru time. Then did it move thru a 3rd SD? Well... I guess you could say yes. The moves are done in a 3D manner, and there's no reason to say that alternate board states in the present can't be viewed as connected spatially to the original board state.
    - Pieces moving across timeline branches and thru time are moving in 3SD and 1TD, or 2SD and 2TD. I'm not entirely sure if moving across timeline branches without time travel counts as moving across an extra SD or TD (e.g. a rook moves up into an alternate board; did it travel thru a spatial dimension or time dimension?), but it can't be both . Moving up/down a timeline branch without time travel can't be 2D travel since the rook can only move to a board up/down if it ends on the same space (e.g. rook on a1 moving to another board ends on the a1 space of that board); this is a 1D movement (straight line), adding that to the rook's normal 2D chess moves shows it only has 3 dimensions (1 of which is arguably a SD or TD). The reason I'm unsure if movement across timeline branches count as spatial or time dimensions is because a move across time dimensions is undefined in the rulebooks (normal chess moves only go 1 turn into the future, so only along 1TD), but I think it's better to consider it a SD since movement up/down timeline branches are like 3D chess moves anyways.
    tl;dr - it only has 4 dimensions at most (3 spatial dimensions and 1 time dimension, or 2 of each). A more accurate name in this case may be "Multiverse Time Travel Chess" as the multiverse can be seen as a 3rd spatial dimension (with special properties that differ from normal 3D chess) and the time travel accounts for the 1 time dimension. How would this differ from "3D Time Travel Chess" or "Time Travel Chess"? Idk, someone should try making a game like that.

    I've just found out about this game existing and bought it. My first three matches were all wins, my fourth practically a softlock. The AI has been thinking about a move for 10 minutes now, not coming up with a solution. The timeline in that one is really short but the multiverses are plenty.
    Edit: It wasn't a softlock. Just took really long. A king-only custom game. And I never once moved my true king
