How to play Charge of the Light Brigade (Chess)

[@mintjuan]

I'm surprised that the King's kingdom didn't turn against on him despite knowing he had an affair with a rook, 8 pawns and 2 other queens.

[@ChrisNinjaEagle]

That's just what happens when everyone is erased when their king dies.

[@mihailmilev9909]

where did the rook come from?

[@engr4051]

White has 9.4 points of advantage, according to the engine.

[@revimfadli4666]

So removing one of the queens would make it balanced?

[@rabbidish]

@@revimfadli4666 no cause it's worth 9 points

[@R64GreatDays]

@@revimfadli4666 Removing a pawn and a queen from white would make it balanced in material. But Black would have a major advantage because the amount of pieces. Generally, 3 minor pieces overpowers one queen because of the amount of space three pieces can cover. Add the fact that knights can reinforce each other and the pawns and Black generally has the advantage when they play well. Edit: Typo through misspressing.

[@anthonysimpson8517]

Engines cannot calculate that far. They give the evaluation based on material count. If you try to play a few moves you'll find that this setup is playable for both sides.

[@Tkdriverx]

@@anthonysimpson8517 An engine's evaluation takes way more into account than material. And Stockfish 11 at depth 30 is still evaluating +9.3 (winning for white)

I love just seeing the steadily more convoluted checkmates in each video

[@mihailmilev9909]

lmao fun

[@mihailmilev9909]

I need to finish the 5d chess video now to see the checkmate XD

[@spyro2002]

And here I thought charge of the light brigade was a normal spell card that sends the top 3 cards of your deck to the GY as cost, then at resolution lets you add 1 level 4 or lower lightsworn monster from your deck to your hand.

[@StarkMaximum]

Yoooooo I watched this SPECIFICALLY because it made me think of that card, Lightsworn BASED

[@anthonyher1953]

I thought of the same thing lol. Who else still plays the 2016 Yugioh: LOTD? I do. I main Psy-Frames and occasionally play Qliphort Demise and Madolche (I used to play FK Kozmo but don’t really like playing meta). I love opening D-Fissure or Macros, my opponent usually scoops or rage quits lol. If you come across or remember a Psy-Frame player, chances are it’s me since I don’t see anyone else playing it. I just want to watch the world burn sometimes lol

[@gabobei1991]

You were sorely mistaken.

[@bigmclargehuge8219]

Nah, Charge of the Light Brigade let's you draw two cards from your deck.

[@CasperTheRestless]

it's based on the poem of the same name, much like that card is

[@RGC_animation]

One sides have courageous Knights that would do anything for their kingdoms, and the other side the king is cheating with 2 wives.

Not that big of a change but still gives out a big change

[@dragoknight589]

This variant has the coolest name out of any other variant

[@Tehom1]

When a pawn promotes "like normal", does that mean that it can become a rook or a bishop? 99% of the time you wouldn't care, but very rarely it's needed to avoid a stalemate.

[@lucasflaviorodrigues]

Yes, it follows the normal rules of choosing any piece

[@trentonrothan9724]

Any piece of your color which is not a pawn of king.

[@Sir-Taco]

@@lucasflaviorodrigues then why does he mention it, he says anything not mentioned is normal

[@danielyuan9862]

@@Sir-Taco He only says that because he doesn't want to explain the movement rules again, and he wants to clarify things. Just because he said something doesn't mean it's necessarily different.

[@JohnSmith-qb1gw]

@@Sir-Taco sometimes in these variants it's different. Like sometimes a pawn DOESN'T promote like normal or an passant is NOT allowed so he always mentions those two.

[@Tkdriverx]

Should have mentioned it in the video, but this is a great variation for huge rating differences. White has a large advantage, so the lower rated/skilled player should play white.

[@FardadisawesomeOfficial]

It would have to be executed digitally.

[@jackychen7769]

So it may seem unbalanced at a glance cuz queens are worth more points in normal chess, but I actually find it hard to secure safe captures. It seems to me that as white, your pawns are what baits the opponents into trades and your queens are used to either force the issue and/or support the attack. On the flip side, it seems it's also hard for black's knights to captures queens due to the queen's versatile movement options. I don't know how balanced it is, but it certainly seems playable. In the end, it seems white wants to be on the offensive with queens threatening multiple pieces from a distance, and black wants to be defensive while looking for pins, forks, and other strategic attacks with knights and pawns defending each other from threats. Well, that's just my opinion, and I'm just a rusty intermediate chess player. I'd have to see a few games before I can say any of this rings true with certainty.

[@gabrielegenota1480]

as it's called the charge of the light brigade- the best tactic is to charge all your knights at once into the valley of death.

[@hy7864]

Black usually wins QueeNy (a derivative of the 2400 Elo engine Spartacus) uses piece values Q=9.5 and N=5, which is not optimal with fewer Knights (where de Q/N ratio quickly goes up), but good enough to avoid getting there. But even then, to effectively clobber Stockfish required removal of the normal King Safety evolution. It could even beat Stockfish and many other top engines of those days with 6N vs 3Q (which is theoretically lost). The top engines never took the opportunity for making a 1-for-2 trade, (the first step for whie towards the win) until it was too late, and they had to sac 1-for-1

[@honeyjuice219]

tbh in this senerio the queen side might be good because it has more material advantage but I think that knight side would have the advantage because each knight is spendable because of it's low value while the queen must be protected so knight side would go very aggressive and queen side is forced to defend. giving a upperhand to knight side

One of the few times him saying "same as chess, except x" actually makes sense.

[@alessiopesci4534]

No the rules are: mill the top 3 pawn on your board to add a lightqueen to your pool to the board

[@MewtwoStruckBack]

Mill 3 pawns to add a queen to your back row. Roll 3 10-sided dice, where the 10 on each die has been replaced with a picture of a wolf. For each wolf rolled, you may choose to add any 1 piece of your color to the board in any position. (You may do this even if placing that piece causes checkmate.)
