Thank you everyone for all the positive and encouraging comments! It’s really made me so happy to read that you guys like the build and that it can serve as a little inspiration 🙂. Sounds like a lot of people would appreciate an explainer video so I’ll find the time to do that in the coming weeks; walking through more of the redstone design and how everything works as well as my building process. Baby’s not here yet and I’m taking a few weeks off work when he comes, so I’ll have time to get something out by mid January at the latest is my guess. Also, since some people are asking: to build a different board size you need to do the following commands (see later in the video when I talk through this, sorry it cut off the commands in my video recording; also make sure to turn down your render distance before starting the functions and give it a little time between running functions to settle down): /function 5x5:clear-all /datapack disable “file/5x5” /datapack enable “file/8x8” /function 8x8:build-board /function 8x8:build-computer /function 8x8:set
Thanks! Yeah, I’m pretty happy with the processing speed tbh. I think it only takes about 10-20 ticks to check 1 piece. That x16 pieces max can take it to about a min or so, but the delay is more limited by the computer you’re running it on than the in game ticks. With a fast computer I estimate it can check a full board in probably 10-15 seconds, but I’m not sure.
@@ookjannesplanting1296no because you can have multiple circuits running in parallel, redstone also doesn't run on the normal tick system (10/sec I think)
This guy that disappeared 12 years ago is possibly one of the best restoners in the community? that's insane. id say with this he's at least a contender for top 20
I totally agree. I have a question I hope doesn’t come across as rude but I hope more of a compliment. Have you taken an iq test? Or do you think you have a high iq? I feel like being able to naturally build and figure out stuff of this complexity requires a naturally high iq. Which I think is just very cool.
Yeah, I wanted to see if this was possible. It took quite a while to figure out a compact and fast way to make the board with actual pieces like this, I’ll go into it some more in my next video
Holy shit. I am seeing this video, wonder why it has so few views and why it got suggested to me, then I see that I am subscribed to you and see that the last video you made was 12 years ago! I rewatched that and absolutely remember you! This is amazing. Makes me wonder if I should also get back to the game after years ;D This is actually the biggest and probably most complex redstone machine I have ever seen in Minecraft. Absolutely mindblowing. Loving it!! EDIT: I watched the video and I would really love if you went over the different components and show how they work and actually show how you planned and structured this whole project!
Dude your door video absolutely blew me away as a 10 year old. I'm just about to start my last semester of an EE degree, redstone was a big inspiration for that and videos like yours contributed a ton. Cheers. Edit: After watching, yes I would love to see a video with some more technical explanation.
This is absolutely insane. When I first saw the thumbnail, I was like “wow, that’s impressive.” Then I actually started thinking about what you need to do. Not only do you have to make chess, but you need to be able to evaluate positions, determine best moves, and actually transfer that physically onto the board, with *no command blocks*. Hats off to you.
Haha I totally forgot that moving into check is an illegal move too. Unfortunately it doesn’t check the destination square when it picks a random move. I haven’t figured out a good way to add that check without drastically slowing down the game
having now watched the entire video, this build is even more impressive than what I first imagined. just the way in which it's built is absolutely wild. the board display is insanely cool, it's like a much more advanced version of your 7-seg block swapper display. I would love to see a deep-dive video covering how that sequence works, and especially how it's wired. I am still completely blown away that you're back with another insane project. your video about your 11x8 is one of the things that got me into doing redstone in the first place, and is an absolutely legendary build that deserves to be in the history books, alongside this one. again, welcome back, and I hope to see more from you either in the upcoming weeks, or upcoming decade. now if you'll excuse me, I need to go find my jaw that I dropped somewhere.
This is an amazing build! I just wish that the texture for the rook and king are swapped since I can see that the pieces sort of represent their moveset, and that the square pops out more than the other pieces.
This is awesome bro. Ive seen a few people do redstone chess builds but this is the first with any sort of playable ai. For me this is probably the second coolest build ive seen, coming in right behind samyuri with his playable redstone minecraft in minecraft
Easily one of the most impressive redstone builds of all time, and the fact that you made a datapack just for building the thing is insane too. Very strong comeback to the redstone scene! I love that the mic quality, incorrect screen capture size, and laptop lag make it feel like this was uploaded like 10 years ago, haha. I thought the white king putting himself into check at the end was the illegal move but apparently not, lol.
This is fantastic, inspires me to make progress on my Hexpawn redstone implementation. I love the detail with which you show the display and mechanics. And, congratulations to your family!
That means a lot to hear that I offered some inspiration, thank you! Yes, I’ve caught the bug again, so I’ll probably be making more videos in the not-10-years-distant future ;)
What perxplexes me is the sheer amount of features, an AI COMPONENT, and yet the size of the whole thing seems like it should be hundreds of times larger. at this rate, your child's boutta become proud of you
this is incredible! I tried making a chess engine in java before and that was already hard. I also built a basic calculator in mc, and considering how slow that ran, I'm impressed you managed to get something as complex as this running with just redstone!
I believe I tried and failed to do this some years ago when I was a wee child, I had gravely underestimated the difficultu and overastimated my own abilities at the time. To see this actually done brings a smile to my face
Wonderful, it would be cool if you made a video that follows one imput as you explain what it does. Thanks for coming back. I should have finished the video, amazing.
First of all, this is amazing. I was already impressed after seeing "Chess with vanilla redstone," but I didn't even realize you built a computer for it to. You deserve way more recognition for this. Secondly, I recommend Replay mod to prevent the lag. Simply start recording, then after you're done, use Replay to spectate through your character's perspective. Instead of recording in real time, it will render everything at the end. It may take awhile to render, but you can get as many FPS as you want and even use shaders. Awesome work man!
Thanks! I appreciate that! Yeah, I used replay mod for the intro and the game, but not for the talkie bits. I’m gonna play around with it a bit more, I’ll have to figure out how to best use it for my next video
I am sitting here watching this masterpiece in disbelieve.... I just want to get to really understand redstone one day to be able to atleast understand core concepts and stuff. Hope I will get to do so (: Love to see you dropping such a masterpiece of a video.
As someone who has also created chess in minecraft, albeit through commands and not redstone, I'd be quite interested in more behind-the-scenes logic as to what it's actually doing. I only ever got to the stage of a barely-working legal move system before I decided to refactor the whole thing and then stop halfway through and now here I am. I can't recommend that process, especially if it's what you'd have to do to fix your pawn jump problem. I'm now interested in your approach to the logic, even outside of a redstone perspective. In particular, I'd like to see more about how you handle computer plays. I've been theorizing what I'd do but never came to a conclusion for a process that is simpleish while working well, and if you've done it in redstone then it can't be that bad if I wanted to do it, right? Anyways less about me: I'd definitely be interested in a deep dive on the logic you've implemented; it's a little bit different with me than most because I want to compare it to my own implementation and perhaps seek or give feedback on the system.
Thanks! Yeah the refactor at this point would definitely take quite a bit of time, I’ll try make a follow up video explaining some more of the details in the coming weeks.
We are genuinely about to be at a point where you can build a redstone computer inside minecraft running on a redstone computer inside minecraft running on a regular computer
I use a lot of logic for this, yes, but instead of building it as a general computer which runs a program, this is essentially a very specific computer which can only run chess. I think I’ll make another explainer video in the near future to go into more detail on how the machine works
Before I started to see it in action I had just expected you to use command blocks to move the pieces tbh, but it actually being done with pistons makes it so much more impressive (not to say it wasn’t already baffling, it’s a Redstone chess computer lol)
That is wild. I mean i knew it was possible to implement minigames into minecraft just using redstone but chess is just wild. I gotta one day learn this stuff and make something similar for go (board game). Idk if making the ai is possible though since even irl engines for go were made pretty recently
wow this is just pure insanity and it is beautiful 37:10 hell yeah, I personally would watch an explanation even if it was multi-hour long also you might find a mod called world edit and minecraft server MCHPRS useful
Incredibly work! This is probably the most amazing red stone build I ever hac seen, and I have seen A LOT! I also play chess myself so do you know which elo the bot have? Probably worse than Martin at this point, but just the fact that you can make a WORKING chess computer in MINECRAFT is unbelievble. Great work and if you move on like this you can one day beat Magnus Carlsen with your minecraft Chess computer!
Man, you're amazing!! Btw are you planning to upload more videos? If yes then don't take too long :D but you need more attention. Hope you'll upload soon! Your chess is amazing!! How did you manage to build the computer btw if you could then please make a screen which would display if the game is stalemate or checkmate
GOD DAMN! The most UNDERRATED redstone video in the history of minecraft. I don’t care that this video was released 4 days ago, it should have a million, not 4k. Also congrats on the marriage and other stuff. 👍 (This thing was probably the most tedious redstone build to ever do, and it’s kind of obvious… like how did you do it???)
Haha thanks, yeah I’m not really sure how to market, I posted on Reddit and it got buried pretty fast in the Minecraft sub, although the redstone sub got a few more views which is nice. Who knows, maybe the algorithm will pick it up at some point

bro was cooking in the shadows those past 11 years
"One or two minutes per move" is impressively fast in my opinion.
Esp considering the absolute most that can happen in a single second is 20 consecutive actions
Thanks! Yeah, I’m pretty happy with the processing speed tbh. I think it only takes about 10-20 ticks to check 1 piece. That x16 pieces max can take it to about a min or so, but the delay is more limited by the computer you’re running it on than the in game ticks. With a fast computer I estimate it can check a full board in probably 10-15 seconds, but I’m not sure.
wrong !!
i can move a piece in just 59 seconds in real life
@@Cpufi The easy part is moving the piece. The hard part is deciding *where* to move it.
@@ookjannesplanting1296no because you can have multiple circuits running in parallel, redstone also doesn't run on the normal tick system (10/sec I think)
Christmas has come early this year :o
Be the first to feature this in a video to get him more traffic
Glad you like the video! :)
For real, this is epic it really did come early!
Make a community post telling everyone to check this out
This guy that disappeared 12 years ago is possibly one of the best restoners in the community? that's insane. id say with this he's at least a contender for top 20
Thanks, that’s really kind! I hope to do more in the future, now that I’ve caught the bug again ;)
I totally agree. I have a question I hope doesn’t come across as rude but I hope more of a compliment. Have you taken an iq test? Or do you think you have a high iq? I feel like being able to naturally build and figure out stuff of this complexity requires a naturally high iq. Which I think is just very cool.
@@magavara2 cant wait to see your future progress
I love that you made the chess pieces appear on the board using pistons and not command blocks. Really impressive project
Yeah, I wanted to see if this was possible. It took quite a while to figure out a compact and fast way to make the board with actual pieces like this, I’ll go into it some more in my next video
Minecraft is one of those games now you can say I've had two kids and I've come back. Omgggg
Haha yeah, I caught the bug again after all this time, it’s still fun for sure

lol the pawn phasing and the king moving into check

leaves for 12 years and then makes chess? extremely impressive, great job.
:) thanks. I think something I love about this game is the staying power it has. I’m not bored of it, even after all these years.
is the illegal move pawn jumping pawn at 6:02 ? also crazy project man, glad to see you back ❤
That’s the one :)
6:03 he just phased through the pawn :P

It takes a mad man to implement this in minecraft. A marvelous piece of redstone tech!
This is INSANE. The computer plays terrible chess of course, but who cares? The fact that it plays at all is absolutely mind-boggling. Great work!

it moves much, much faster than I was expecting as a layperson. when I heard you had a macbook I lost my mind!!!

what the hell. This is super impressive.
I just made a connect 4 bot and i was thinking about making checkers/chess bot next year.
how is this not blowing up
Uploading a video after 13 years and that video is a Chess Computer in Minecraft with the download link thats wild tysm
This video deserve more like the hardwork the guy put in this build is crazy
damn bro. respect. im currently making something simplier than that (small redstone computer network). thanks for sharing Your world
Thanks! :)
Every new peice of information in this video blows me away
ouh yeah, i just came back into minecraft after a couple of years and so i started building this 32 chunks chess computer to warm up
This is absolute insanity. Amazing work! Seriously this is something else 👏👏👏
Having bugs in your chess engine just means an opportunity for players to develop new strategies to take advantage of them :D
