I think that the 'castles' and 'towers' are different things, 'castles' is the piece you created when you combined the rooks, and since there were only two rooks in the game left, you couldn't move it

[@TheRealMeatwad]

^This. I thought it was pretty obvious.

[@robertwoodruff8491]

If you can cheat, move his two rooks together and remove two pieces at once.

[@robertwoodruff8491]

You can qlso, use one of his pieces to take another of his pieces. I really fealt when he got a chance to cheating he wasn't using it to his full advantage.

[@unfairdev8197]

Yeah, they are. The castle is the big yellow piece.

[@majorleaguegamingpack828]

Yeah!!!

[@istariknight1]

Congratulations! You beat him and became the next bridge troll because you "sunk to his level" by counter cheating. To break the cycle you have to rise above his nonsense and beat him without cheating yourself. It's definitely doable he blunders a lot :)

[@misusedchair]

I thought it was something similar to this

[@Deathwish3838]

A lot of those rules really did seem simple enough. It was very clear that the wording was specific for a reason and mattered, so I didn't see where the confusion came from on some. It also baffled me that you were not using the pawns to capture things when you were allowed to cheat, or even putting his pieces on those orange tiles to kill the piece and get rid of that orange tile.

[@danielyuan9862]

At 8:30, you moved your bishop on the wrong square. Its center is way off the square you intended to move it to.

[@danielyuan9862]

Also, the rule on the merged rooks is that _castles_ can't move unless there are at least three _towers._ So I assume there the towers are the original rooks you start with and the castle is the merged rooks.

[@hongkonger885]

⁠Also, because pawns can't promote (they ascend), there can never be more than two towers (rooks) once two are spent to make a castle. So castles can never move. Nelson misinterpreted that as "the rooks cannot move" instead of "the castles cannot move".

[@kamen42]

Go for the "good" ending - you get it if you don't cheat during the game. It's... not easy, Any of your pieces is in constant threat, because the troll can cheat at any time. But I found that the rule allowing you to move the opposite queen is a huge help. Move her to a slippery square, or move her directly to the "piece of knowledge" (the orange stuff left by bishops) to get rid of her.

[@kontousuniente4952]

to be fair ai in this game is really stupid and when it cheats a troll randomly illegally taking an undefended piece almost never happen

[@kamen42]

@@kontousuniente4952 I noticed they don't really abuse cheating as much as they can. For example if you move your A or H pawn forward, they almost always cheat to take the rook... Which is an annoying move if you want to avoid cheating yourself. But other than that, their cheating isn't really startegic a lot of times. For example I never noticed they would move my queen even though they could get rid of her immediately.

[@Qwentar]

Can you use your opponents queen to take your opponents pieces?

[@kamen42]

@@Qwentar No. It doesn't take the pices, it just stacks them on the same square, which violates one of the rules that pieces should not touch

The "you are not a juggler" around 26:30 indicates you were on track to get a particularly awkward achievement and you just broke the rule you were accidentally following to get it.

I've noticed that people who are really good at chess tend to do worse than a weak player when you modify the rules even slightly. And to be fair, at least with this one, he doesn't know all the rules to start.

22:26 you accused the rook of the wrong rule "you can only move the towers when there are three", you should have done "only he can jump over peices"

That was really cool, a refreshing new way to look at chess. You might also want to check out 'Drawback Chess', it's a little bit less on the fantasy side and more like actual chess, I felt like you struggled a bit keeping up with the numerous new rules. Eric Rosen played drawback chess a lot.

[@danielyuan9862]

I got a chance to play against him once. I was so close! I had a winning endgame but couldn't convert.

[@thetaomegatheta]

TBF, this is a bit hard to watch. It is entertaining, but a lot of the mistakes that you made were caused by you not reading the rules attentively, like when you assumed that queens can't take each other, or when you assumed that kings can't take opposing queens, or where you couldn't distinguish between castles and towers, despite having previously created a castle.

[@river559]

Literally this. Same with when he read the rules for the knights and the rooks which functions the exact same in regular chess and saying he didn't understand, when he clearly knew what those pieces did. Fun game and video overall, just was so painful to watch out of all the scuffed chess videos I've seen

That was actually an interesting chess variant. Sufficiently self aware and not taking itself seriously. I feel like the serious games that try to reinvent or upgrade or “fix” chess are on a fool’s errand, but this is just silly in the best way 😂

[@mr.dragon.purple9209]

7:09 You said he moved in + pattern, not that he moved off the board, that's why it's false accusation 8:40 You acciedently break the rule of that it can only move in × pattern 22:52 There have to be 3 towers to move a CASTLE, not the ROOK 29:51 It says that queen can't take the king, not that king can't take the queen

[@alternative35]

12:44 he was so surprised that he let out a lil questioning squeak

[@chesscraze9329]

Just a little thing, on the first move (or any other time) you can take either of the black knights with the rook, because it will automatically turn into the castle, and therefore cannot be accused. Even better, you can do this with the pawns and take all of black's back-rank pieces (can't be accused because the pawn ascends.). Also, if you ascend 8 pawns, you automatically win the game, so since the troll's AI doesn't allow it to do any of the OP things it can do with the black advantage (take white's king with any piece automatically winning at any time) you can force a win in 8 moves no matter what. (You ascending your opponent's pawns also counts toward the 8 pawn ascension auto-win so if the troll cheats to eat a pawn of yours you can ascend one of thier pawns as revenge)

[@jamesoakes4842]

If he cheats just drag back by taking his king wit yours

[@RainbowHelveltica]

the thumbnail move was actually an illegal move, even though bishops DO work out of town. This is because only HE can jump.

[@Qwentar]

You're confusing the rooks as castles. The rooks are towers. Remember when you had your two rooks side by side and they merged into a new piece? That's the "castle". You then have to promote pawns s.t. there are three more rooks, then the castle can move.

[@chesscraze9329]

No, the castle can never move because there is no promotion

[@Qwentar]
