Is Queen still viable in P2W Chess?

The answer is yes. Also there's an upgraded Queen++.
Chess Evolved Online, also known as Old Old Chess Battle Advanced, is a game created by a crypto-addicted Spaghetti Monster. In this episode, we will discuss the Queen, which you may be happy to know is still an excellent piece, and has synergies that make it even more excellent in OOCBA.

Chess Battle Comically Advanced.

[@dylanger1015]

I'm assuming the reason why move decay is a thing is that you check do infinite check cycles on the king and there is no 50 turn rule and in general stalemates are very easy to reach

[@solarknight3942]

Ngl I’m ready for him to review every single piece in the entire game because it’s epic

[@eden3669]

5:55 "move decay is actually a symptom of a major problem with the game and i wonder if anyone can spot it" this might be cheating since ive played it a bit but ive seen someone going "this piece is useless because its only good in a material endgame" and . yeahhhhhhhhh tfw mr "i hate closed positions" makes a game with pieces that can lock down squares with ranged attacks with zero risk to themselves

[@airhater]

4:47 dude, that was a smooth transition

[@user-th1hu6hg9s]

Morale is balanced. Whenever you pay Morale, indenture a piece. If you lose 5 indentured pieces, you lose.

[@lula4260]

I genuinely cannot tell if that's an actual mechanic or you're just shitposting

Welcome back to Channel Icely Advanced

[@espicelmecanicodecombustio1632]

Big fan that you open all videos by throwing shade at the spaghetti monster.

[@thedeck-buildingdemon8293]

Magnus Carlsen been real quiet since this series of videos dropped

[@BryanLu0]

This stuff about piece value is so weird, because it causes stuff like it's actually not worth it to trade pieces even though there might be a positional advantage, because piece value actually matters in win lose conditions

[@IcelysUnnecessary2ndChan-gv1bq]

yeah lol, sometimes in OOCBA the morale mechanic makes it not worth doing massive material sacrifice to get the king like losing 2 queens or something and it's just disappointing

[@russinmoder4931]

fuck I love your OOCBA videos, great job

[@koveltskiis8391]

I hope we get a video about the CBA multiverse

[@Luigicat11]

Where do you play the other CBAs anyway?

[@DemonXile]

Maybe next is the Ninja, Wizard, and Dragon? (These are the 3 pieces shown on the 3 packs, an analogy on these would be fun to watch)

[@patrickfoos9828]

Cannot wait for the greed video

[@torhundal2182]

i'm kinda tempted to ask (since you're looking for video ideas) that you make an army that's just 'how do i make this chess fight so stall-y and boring that the opponent quits from boredom?' like killing exactly one piece, then just swapping 2 pieces around waiting for the opponent to die from moral bleedout.

[@vinicius13.23]

Ive started playing chess evolved because of you and I like (even with the bad decisions of the creator)

[@throwawwy53]

1:23 this looks good, where is it available or if it isn't yet, when will it be?

[@godlyvex5543]

It seems like people are allergic to talking about how to find the game or when it will come out, I've asked about it in the main CEO server and people are really secretive for some reason

[@atpx8]

2 dumb questions 1. is it old new cba or new cba? 2. are you developing old new / new cba? since it does sort of sound like it, but im not 100% sure

[@Sotoah]

40 MINUTES LETS GOOOO

[@dade1603]

wait how many Evolved Chess games are there??? I started playing the steam version but if I should be playing something else I wanna know

[@dade1603]

this in reference to the Morale complaint and the mention of lile 5 other games

[@cheesybrik9073]

I like how each episode you get increasingly more aggressive towards the developer

[@TalhaOyunda-sb6fy]

OMG is this chess battle advance channel???

[@44Hd22]

Wait does your second channel have a another puzzle on its profile?

[@GigasGMX]

It looks more like a move diagram for some sort of hell-piece to me.

[@NekuZX]

I've been liking these videos so far. But I'm still not sure what you mean with "Nuance" as a verb. I have no idea what that means or why is it called like that.

[@woomod2445]

"Nuanced" is anytime a piece is instantly invalidated by another, which happens so frequently the community started saying "It got nuanced" to shit on the dev.

[@oceanbeans8546]

Could you explain why the dev is referred to as "The spaghetti monster"

[@GigasGMX]

"Spaghetti Code" is often a way of describing bad and over-complicated programming. I assume it's related.

Chastity Battle Advanced

[@o.o5834]

Morale is a great mechanic, for its purpose, which is to speed up the game.

[@IcelyPuzzles]

lol I said morale decay was a symptom of failure and not necessarily the failure itself (it's also not very speedy to take 100 turns to end a repetition vs. classic chess)

[@o.o5834]

@IcelyPuzzles That is very true, there are ways to boost morale in the game and outlast the opponent. I am guilty of using dryads to go 20+ over 100 in morale and repetition my way a win. I just know that the morale works when the game is hyper aggressive, drags out when used my way.

[@Pao_Master]

Ng5 kind of invalidates the fork at 3:11

[@nevorotem6819]

If 1 Ng5 Then 1 Rb8 2 Kc7 2 Rxg8 and if not then 1 Kc7 1 Qxe5 or just 1 Qe7 (numbering starts with black)

[@Pao_Master]

​@@nevorotem6819 looking at just the fork, Ng5 stops it icely was talking about queen forks, the follow up moves aren't the point of that segment of the video but if you want to include the entire position, it's better for black to block the skewer with a king move and white can take the knight, but then Rb8 first was better than forking

[@Turdstrider]

I used to play this game, and part of the discord. I would run an all armor army, with aquarius+ and a medusa and a ranger++. I left because everyone else was just better than me after not playing for a bit. Also p2w and the amount of bullcrap that i feel i'm expected to know for my elo (which was 3000) that got to me and i left. The dev of this game (if i can even call him one) is an actual joke tho ngl.

[@godlyvex5543]

I feel like adding the stuff about the owner being crypto addicted in videos that don't explain the currecy system, is going to make people think the game has crypto, which is a bit misleading. You should probably keep that to the first video, and the one where you're going to go over all the terrible stuff the developer does.
