how does the knight move?

Chess is complicated enough. I'd like a Portal themed set though.

I love this variant. I have one question? Is it legal for a bishop to change color if the portals define its path of travel from black to white squares (as example)?

Now where’s Half-life chess?

this is awesome.

This is amazing

Holesome and great video

*wins* « that was fun for me »

now combine this with 5d chess

This is as cursed as 1D Chess.

Great to more chess versions

I would need a referee (or program) to keep an eye on the game to ensure no illegal moves were made.

Does moving a portal take up a whole turn, or can you move a piece and a portal at the same time?

the algorithm is so messed up rn lol

1:55 Sir I'm pretty sure that's a check if you observe more carefully (:

He stopped calling it a portal and switched to calling it a teleporter at 3:54 😂

It would be cool to have the portals make whichever two tiles they´re sitting on become "the same tile" So a piece standing on any portal would be technically standing on both tiles and could move to any tile legally accessible if you were to move from any of the two portals. A piece standing on a tile from which it can move into a portal would be legally allowed to move to any tile accessible to it in a normal chess game, plus the tiles accessible by crossing the portal (maintaining, of course, the direction that the piece is moving on) You could use portals either offensively or defensively (for example, a king standing on a portal can only be checkmated if it can´t legally move to any tile around both portals. Also, given that the two portals act by "merging" the two tiles, if you control one of the portals, then you control both so when putting a king that's standing on a portal in check, the king can't just "teleport" to the other portal since the other portal's tile IS the same tile as the one the king's standing on.) I feel like this is the simplest way to make the game work since the only rule added (apart from portal movement) is that "whichever two tiles are occupied by a portal become the same tile"

This is very cool lol

SOOOOOO Cool

Someone show this to Hikaru

I hope this guy checks his channel now and then

What happens when there is a piece on one portal and someone moves a portal onto another piece?

This was recommended to me in 2021

Now there’s a possibility for bishops to be on the incorrect color square, which in all is pretty neat

2021 REEEEEEeeEEEEeeEEEeEeeeeEEee

Oh god the volume ow

Welcome to the Algorithm boys.

Ok but what is the portal movememt?

my right ear now knows how to play portal chess

Thanks youtube algorythm for finally showing me something good :o

And the world explodes when you move a portal into a portal

Inructions unclear the portal got stuck in my forskin and now im burning the other portal for obivouse reasons

now imagine 5d portal chess with multiverse time travel

AHHHHHH! HE CALLED THE BLACK PIECES THE BROWN AND THE KNIGHT A HORSE! A KNIGHT CALLED A HORSE IS OK, BUT BROWN PIECES? AHHHHHH!

"Good! ... G-o-o-o-o-d !!" (emperor Palpatine)

Chess Club is going to love this

1:56 but it is still check tho

Can you move the portal piece when in check to get out of ?

The change that I would make is that a piece cannot rest on a portal, because it feels unnatural. Instead, all pieces that enter a portal must exit the other portal. I am not sure how this would affect the game.

1:52 the king is still check because the right diagonal side of the bishop is directly at the king so the king is still check

2 white pieces rest on both portals and black piece capture one of them and get teleported on next portal and capture 2nd piece and continues to his piece till his turn end Can this happen

3:33 3:40 *N E I G H*

The Rules are Stupid

Brown on the right already dislike

I don't search the internet.. eye brows...

Well fuck

Ur eyebrows need trimming

you can play portal chess against a computer, if you use "Zillions of games". So i did with my chessvariant "AstralChess": kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4bHe3ukfL2hqK8
