Bro failed to make 2d chess but he made it 3d what

[@amaryllis0]

The difficulty is not making a 2d version, that's trivial. The difficulty is rewriting all the 3d code to also work with 2d

[@RA1NB0W-Mutal_Destuction]

@@bubbapie123 still, i dont see how he couldent of used sprites, but i cant talk i suck at chess still

[@fromant65]

​@@amaryllis0 I'm a programmer and what you mention should be trivial if you abstract the code correctly. The most difficult thing is coding all the algorithms which mimic the board, pieces and rules. Making it 2d is just changing the 3d nodes to 2d nodes and applying the same algorithms but changing the sprites. Shouldn't take more than an hour

[@GreenLemonGames]

​@fromant65 Generally speaking, this is true. Everything uses the same core logic, but implementing the stuff that can't be abstracted between 2D and 3D is time-consuming. A pseudo-2d mode currently exists for circular chess that just uses sprites instead of 3d models (but still uses the 3d renderer), and that only took around 30 minutes to set up.

[@RGP_Maths]

From the thumbnail, you CAN actually play from this position, but starting on the middle 4 ranks of an 8x8 board. So exf5+ is not mate in 1, because the Black King can (must) move backwards. We used to call this "Advanced Chess" in the school chess club, since the pieces start 2 squares advanced from their normal positions, and it's a pretty good game.

[@mathmagician8191]

4:41 my engine says h3 is the best move, but Rf4 is evaluated as +11.3 so it is clearly winning as well

the way you explain your tactics is so instructive! You're an amazing chess teacher

[@GreenLemonGames]

I appreciate it! Too bad I'm not an amazing chess player 😅

[@xapg5]

for the 4, 8 chess you should have done it so that whoever can't move lose e.g. whoever delivers stalemate checks don't count and you can capture the king

[@2ux3ngd]

I agree (I mean the 4×8 chess). I also made the same kind of chess with you and played with another one as a black. I lost in just his first move!

[@aralornwolf3140]

You should... g2 to f3 is checkmate... unless you were looking at the thumbnail, lol.

[@zlatkofelic8820]

I'm no expert, but I think according to the thumbnail exf is checkmate.

[@Cole_Is_A_Mole]

You bet your ass it is!

[@polyton4539]

I recently came up with a variant, but didn't try it out yet. It goes like this: On move 1, for each player, every piece moves like a pawn. On move 2, like a knight, on move 3 like a bishop, on move 4 like a rook, move 5 like a queen and move 6 like a king. Then it starts all over again. When you lost both your knights, for example, you skip the knight turn and continue with bishop after pawn. Also I would add the rules that the game ends when the King is captured and you are allowed to put your own King in check. (Just because I find it kind of weird that this is not the case for regular chess.)

[@poryzonegames942]

Sounds interesting, although White probably has a big advantage

[@blooburryz6887]

@@poryzonegames942 Maybe you could offset it by pushing Black one move ahead in the order? So move 1 for white is a pawn while move 1 for black is a knight, and so on.

[@polyton4539]

​@@poryzonegames942 are you sure? maybe there are much more diverse strategies that have more influence on the game. for example, you could lose all your pawns on purpose so you get piece movement every move. i thought it would just be a total mess and too complicated to have a big advantage from going first

[@poryzonegames942]

@@polyton4539 I am not sure, I was taking a guess. But I still think it is unequal because of one player always moving first with a piece movement and the other player repeating the same movement pattern

[@mythbusters866]

0:00 You can play this chess, but rules are little bit different, this is "You need capture every time pieces or you lose" chess. This chess ei not a check or mate moves. King is only pieces who stay always board and capture all pieces. If you don't can capture nothing pieces you are lose. 0:13 Now black can play Kxf7 moves

[@felity1773]

2:33 wouldn't queen takes b3 be the best move here? you're winning at least a pawn with that. ps: it also means you don't need to trade queens later, which i would almost never do when i am already up, but that's just me

7:39 white missed a free queen and it’s hurting my soul

[@almost12inches]

It's defended

[@comradelovespain5714]

If you mean exf5, black has Ke5, which keeps the queen defended. Bf4+ doesn't work because black's knight takes. If white takes the knight on g6 and promotes to a queen, black has Qxd1+ and then captures g6 with their rook on the next move (black now has a rook for a knight). Black could also capture with the rook first which would defend the queen if white were to play Qxd6 at some point. Unless there's some other tactic I missed I don't see it.

[@jeremiahsosatv]

@@comradelovespain5714 you know we don’t HAVE to take that knight right? (After Ke5 f6=Q+ attacking the queen and king Qxf6 Bxf6+ Kxf6)
