The best play for the AI would be to sacrifice one of the better units by taking the rook immediately but it didn't which allowed Tyler to chain the takes. The AI doesn't look very far ahead, and arguably only looks 1 move ahead or else it would see this cascade and try to prevent it.
Hi, I'm Oriol the developer of the game. I had a blast watching the video, that was some really impressive and thoughtful play, congratulations! I'll make sure to fix the "moving through portal" animations and add a description for the stalemate. Really glad you liked it!
I love that the final match was hyped up with "look, all the pieces that were giving me troubles are on the board at once!" Then an immediate sweep, it really shows how powerful his deck ended up!
@@xicufwm I feel like some movements would be kinda hard to show in a graphic. Like the Pegasus can travel a very long distance so the graphic would have to be very big and in general they would probably have to be big to show the difference between infinite and finite move lengths for some units. Text descriptions also help explain the technicalities of each piece’s movement which can tell you things like exactly how it might get blocked by obstacles. However it would still be a great addition and simplify some pieces massively. There’s a piece that wasn’t in this video but I found in the demo called the Blade Dancer and it’s description was like “moves 2 spaces vertically and up to 2 spaces horizontally or vice versa” which was pretty confusing. It was a lot simpler to understand once I saw visually that it basically just moved on the edges of a square around itself with side lengths of 5.
I had heard about this game and I see it’s as interesting as I expected… Also, it’s cool you have the platforms on the video now. Makes it a bit easier to know.
Oh, I love this! Really easy to watch even as a person who doesn't play chess, and the editing was great! Your content has really stepped up over the past year or two, and I'm enjoying it a lot.
I'm sure somebody has pointed out but the 17:30 situation is that if andromeda moves then black loses because the fool would then take king. Killing nobles indeed.
it would be better if they animated the added move like animated the move to the portal first then after they go through the portal, or like a pegasus that has 2 L move. it'll make the game look more refined and pleasing to look. and it will make the game a lot less confusing when they introduce a complex piece to the board.
10:55 im pretty sure you could've blocked the check with your knight rider; knight riders can move twice, but can't jump over the first square it lands on before it jumps to the second one Very interesting game!
A better idea for catapult would be “takes 1 turn to charge / reload, and then attacks any square that doesn’t have a piece guarding it vertically, horizontally, or diagonally
At 17:30 the reason Andromeda didn't take was because after your fool recaptures, the Agent X would not actually be able to take your Pegasus. If it did, the Fool would gain the movement of a Bishop, allowing it to take the black King.
I love how the penultimate fight was brutally difficult, with Tyler barely coming out on top... and then the final battle lasted a grand total of twenty-five seconds.
5:00 actually I think it went down twice into the portal below and thus went out of the portal to the left of your rook. The onscreen description for the Viking doesn’t say it can move diagonally and as you found out immediately after, the game doesn’t show the process of portal moves-only their results.
I'm pretty sure you're right. The other thing is that the portal adds one square of movement to what it feels like it should: the Viking looks like it can only reach the portal but wouldn't have moves left to go down, but that's not how the portal works, reaching it is enough.
@@Khaim.m yeah the portal seems to sort of duplicate the move into the portal to find a suitable location (somewhere not on top of a portal) to place the piece once it exits the portal.
17:30 This was a much better fork than you thought it was, because if Black moves Andromeda, your Fool immediately takes the black General. The Fool seems hard to use, but it seems like it can sort of "pin" very powerful pieces from anywhere on the board, by being that move away from the enemy General.
I could swear the person in the picture used in the meme at the start is supposed to be Magnus Carlsen, while the actual picture on steam has someone else on it.
Huh. Seems like another actually fun chess game. I didn't know that such a thing could exist, but now between this and SG King, you've shown that not one but at least two exist, maybe more. Fascinating.
The chess bot normaly: My pieces can destroy yours in seconds, you stand no chance The chess bot when your using Spiked shield: no pls dont put me in check im scared
fun fact, the catapult is actually a piece in a different board game which is called chinese chess. it moves like that but it can only cap by jumping over units and can move like a rook without capturing any piece
0:00 Yes, because normal chess starts with only 6 pieces on the board and a rock in the middle.
Idk that looks perfectly normal to me.
could be a chess puzzle.
@@jort93z true
@@jort93z Not with a rock in the middle.

@@BenRHarsh actually because of the spiked shield there wasn’t any opportunity for the AI to take the rook that wouldn’t have gotten the king killed.

The relics really carried this victory.
Man this editor is just straight up fire! That edit for moving the pieces at 10:15 while you described the play was amazing.
The moving the camera through the portal is great too
With improved ai and some visual polish this could be a really good game
It already is
we need to train stockfish for this
@@LettuceGayming it's kind of annoying that the AI is so stupid sometimes though

This game would be one of the best if upon hovering over the piece to see its movements, to show a graphic alongside it, kind of like Shotgun King

This is one of the most interesting games you've covered
0:11 is the most cursed thing I've ever seen
6:40 and 9:44 are absolutely hilarious Tyler you have the best editors
This game fits so well on the channel, I would love to see more!
9:10 You missed a pin which would lead to victory after the king moves then you capture.
Can't wait to see more of this! Was an awesome video to watch, and shoutout to Dan for some top tier editing :)
I feel like it is even more interesting to play than to watch. Would love to see more, though! What a game

Imagine this game with multiverse time travel.
Actually don't imagine that, my brain hurts just thinking about it.
i love this game so much, please make this a full series
Just realised that keeping someone in check is definitely a chess reference
Like what!?, I never thought about it and then, boom, big realisation
This looks cool. I hope we get more SG king, and for that I hope the trick you tried worked
"the rules are the same as a regular chess, except for all these changes"
2:00
I think the way in which this is useful is it lets you strategically get rid of certain pieces that are blocking some of your pieces paths
When I think of good editing I think of you, best editing on YT hands down
It my civil duty to say chess battle advanced

all i can say is oh no... the chess pieces are evolving.
evolution does not favor the pawns.

wow never heard there being a variant in Murakami's works, thanks for sharing, looking forward to finding more about it

“What in the name of the queen?”
