5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel - Yes, Seriously

5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel - yes that is the actual name of the game. We're skipping past 3D chess and 4D chess for the ultimate big brained game. Move your pieces back in time to create a diverging parallel timeline, then move your pieces into that. What could possibly go wrong?
Edited by: Tyler
Music: • Aviators - Infinity Aw...
5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel is generalized from ordinary chess. There are two spatial dimensions, a third unused spatial dimension, a fourth dimension representing time, and a fifth dimension representing parallel timelines. When pieces travel to the past, paradoxes are avoided by using a branching timeline system. Capture a king to win!

What the hell is going on in this video. "The classic one to the right and two dimensions knight move" In reality the knight moved one space right and landed on a different chess board? Jesus.

[@queencobra7928]

The way it works i think is that each board is a tile

[@hamizannaruto]

One to the right and 2 dimensional move, or vertical move. If you use the vertical move, you can only move through time travel. It's a chess board in a chess board. That's the best way I can think of it as.

[@WaterDroplet02]

one tile to the right and two chessboards back. you know, like all chess knights do

[@Blaze6108]

It moved two parallel dimensions "up" (relative to the game's interface) and one regular space to the right. So two in one direction, one in another, perfectly regular Knight move.

[@lastchance1829]

With branching timelines, you should be able to move pieces from past moves into the future as well, creating another branch where that piece does not exist in further moves. To do so, all intervening boards must mirror the parent timeline minus the time-wise forward moved piece, which may result in a game winning checkmate for either side.

I can definitely see an anime where after three moves the antagonist says "You are already checkmated" while pointing down to the protagonist in an extremely menacing fashion, followed by a monologue along the lines of "your next move will be rook to B3, then I'll send my knight back to the past to claim your pawn, giving you no choice but to follow up with your queen to sacrifice and allow my knight to move back to the past and take your current king!" 12 seconds of villainous laughing later and the protagonist moving in exactly the way the antagonist predicted while looking extremely worried, the protagonist's king is checkmated.

There is a problem with that. The more queens you multiply, the more kings you have. One dies, game lost.

Also if the opponent doesn't time-branch themselves, you'll in fact be stuck with just two queens. Guess this is (one of) the reason(s) for which that particular branching limitation exists. :-)
