[@eugenedembowski9380]

but you had to sacrifice the rook

[@hunterbarnett4893]

He didn't lose it nor attack with it, if you look at the board at the end he Castled to defend the King.

[@eugenedembowski9380]

@@hunterbarnett4893 just google "sacrifice the rook". It's a chess meme.

[@histhoryk2648]

Throwing rook off the cliff at first occasion to get better pawn is mandatory

bro, he make the intercontinental ballistic missile gambit

I immediately saw that.

Jajaja, las piezas blancas son superpotencia militar.

[@pierrecurie]

Worse, this is checkmate

[@samuelporras4662]

@@pierrecurie its not, the gambit its based of winning the black queen, not to chekmate

[@pierrecurie]

@@samuelporras4662 Not the gambit - I meant what was shown in this video.

[@daanstrik4293]

The idea of a short story/animation where a pawn must try to reach the end of the board and all his friends fall around him/sacrifice themselves for the goal would be pretty cool. Especially when it would have this type/quality of animation

[@thecyanghost1889]

average WH40k guardsmen experience

[@CairoShane]

And then doing a sailor moon transformation would be awesome

[@antimotors5429]

​@@CairoShanehell yeah, watching the pawn reacb the end and turn into a queen piece would be epic. We need a shogi version too

[@windego64]

Homestuck did this. and soon to be deltarune. but not in a direct way

[@kelleren4840]

I think that movie is called Saving Private Ryan.

[@icetide9411]

I love how creative this got with interpretations, like the Knight literally jumping over other pieces, the pawns lining up diagonally before they attacked one another, or the Rook "castling" the King. Even just the fact we see the white side move first. Actually genius

[@Cheerwine091]

My only complaint is that the bishop attacked on a straight line on the board, and not a diagonal

[@wisgarus]

​@Cheerwine091 That was likely done because its harder to draw a diagonal grid in perspective, I assume

[@fernando3061]

@@wisgarus yea I'm sure this artist is challenged by that...bro please don't bs that hard, just don't assume from now on.

[@wisgarus]

​@fernando3061 I mean, it might be true. There isn't a single diagonal grid in this video, save for the shot that seems to use a 3D rotating texture for the floor

[@ThatGuyWithNoLife]

@@fernando3061 It's no bs, the diagonal grids are harder to draw because the grids are also used as a perspective guide. So if it was diagonal grid then the animator is kinda force to turn the frames with the bishops into 2 point perspectives, which is a lot harder to do.

[@pronetogames7946]

Bishop may be the sniper but the queen is holding an RPG 😂

[@max-zv7sf]

The order in which the pieces move and the still shot at the end show a technique called the "intercontinental ballistic missile gambit", in which the white gradually clears the board in order to "shoot" the queen straight across the board to threaten the black king.

[@balls69yearsago]

​@@max-zv7sf how did you make that up

[@marcen8919]

A intercontinental balistic misile, actually.

[@a.u.j6340]

Rook is the heavy gunner

[@klortikterra4423]

@@max-zv7sf correction, mate the Black King

[@FlameBinder55]

*Sees the Bishop charge straight forward.* "Oi! Black Cheating!"

[@serspritztomb]

That’s what i thought when i first watched! Just make the bishop zig zag when it charges

[@thinhnguyen-lk8gy]

@@serspritztomb well, zig zag would mean losing strike power (and who cares :D) but the thing is, this is likely 2d, so... you get the idea.

[@InanamGames]

@@thinhnguyen-lk8gy It would have been better if the bishop was already diagonal to the pawn, a simple persepctive trick would have done the job

[@apollyonnoctis1291]

Notice the spell they cast… Diagonal binds.

[@JJBrosEntertainment]

When u tried to learn chess as a kid but found urself playing chess like this instead.

[@s2s561]

It's actually how people used to play Chess, google "Romantic era chess"

[@kavlan453]

I don't know why I've never imagined a pawn as a slick but potentially unwilling fighter forced to the front lines, but that gave them so much character so quickly that I don't think I'll ever be able to go back lol

[@Trhemoth]

It also adds a desperate undertone to the fact that they are the only pieces who can't move back, obligated to only move forward unable to run away from the battlefield

[@enterchannelname3213]

@@Trhemoth Order 227 lol

[@cringelord7776]

There’s a reason why people use ‘pawn’ as a word for an unimportant person who is only used for someone else’s personal gain, that’s exactly what they are in chess

[@Zenanii]

@@cringelord7776 And just like in real life, they are actually the most important pieces. The people on top are nothing without the people working for them.

This is the most Advanced Chess Battle I've ever seen

[@crepeobreak8219]

This is really a Completely Beautiful Animation

[@none62092]

I love the look and esthetics of the pawn, of course something used effectively as cannon fodder would be these impoverished, poorly armed/ armored soldiers

[@flurraz7083]

Love the pawn being classic rogue/ bandit-like Super cool animation, great job!

[@talongreenlee7704]

I love the interpretation of pawns as scrappy, roguish skirmishers.

[@cheynekunselman2933]

Dude.......As someone who just lost chess three times this past week.....I feel that pawn's pain at the beginning. That was me when my bro literally just no mercy

[@victornardifadescp1840]

0:28 of course that the bishop is the piece attacking the small pieces.

[@fergushebbert817]

This is absolutely insanely good, the designs are awesome and the animation is great

[@salxrn]

i always saw the pawn as a guy with a shield and a spear who had to poke other pieces and therefore couldn't attack forward with a shield in the way

Digging into the original intent of chess i see
