Kiara and Amelia in the painful Chess game [HololiveEN]

@@yoursonisold8743 I mean, it was fine until the end part where she'd however her piece over a 'good move' only to retract it, think about it carefully, and then reset the entire King checkmate-procedure. It triggered a weird sensation of "needing closure" near the end, so I watched it all the way through--but some of us are just naturally predisposed to deal with that stuff awfully poorly - whether we like it or not. Shrug. You're not wrong, but I know my reaction isn't that unusual either (esp. if the donations were anything to go by - was fun reading into the amount of agony expressed there, ahaha).

[@felynecomrade]

@@TSH425 Simply because of the nature of infinity. It takes more than big numbers for something to be infinite. Chess is a game with rules that make it finite. If the same position appears 3 times, the game ends. If 50 consecutive turns (a white and a black move makes a turn, so 100 moves) occur without any of them being takes or pawn moves, the game ends. In the first move, white has a choice of 20 moves. Black also has 20 moves to respond to each one of them. That's 400 possible combinations of the first 2 moves. Whites next move will depend on what the board looks like now. Regardless, he has pawn moves to choose from, as well as knight moves. Each and every game can be counted, and none of them can last forever.

They're playing like it's 5d chess, when everyone watch is seeing them play 1d chess.

[@Penmorex]

The amount of agony i was in watching this live was immense. All the turns that were missed for a checkmate were slowly sawing my soul in half. great stream in the end though.

[@OMDolton84]

I didn't realise just how scuffed a game of chess could get.

[@unknownvariable2456]

after watching this again 3 months after I first watched it, I still salute the dedication of kiara to play chess while being cut in half in the thumbnail, even draping the jacket over the wound so it vaguely looks connected despite the zig zag shape of her back, DEDICATION!

As someone who plays chess on a competitive level this is EXTREMELY PAINFUL TO WATCH But still cute and wholesome :)

Mate there is a rematch being teased prepare some drinks better be sobered before watching that rematch

[@Memento_Mori-24]

As someone who does not play chess on a competitive level this is extremely painful to watch The suffering is universal

[@filbusdoesnotexist]

you don't have to go that high to flinch watching this

[@mottmann2898]

I play a hell of a lot of chess, and it PHYSICALLY hurt me.

I can see why viewers were in pain because of this

6:55 kiara had like 3 chances to checkmate ame and somehow she managed to lose her queen unbelievable

As someone who play chess regularly, this was both entertaining and suffering

[@timothymclean]

You can't deny that Kiara is really enjoying her failure.

[@blazingkite8983]

15:45 me: just move the queen 3 diagonal squares up and it's checkmate, can't kill your queen if knight is protecting it Ame: *let's kill da horse* me: HMMMMMMMMMMMMM 16:18 me: move the queen diagonally Ame: *chases straight down* my braincells are dropping harder than Baqua's fans.

[@henriquepacheco7473]

She did need to kill the horse for that queen move to be checkmate, though, otherwise the King could just waddle away to the right.

[@blazingkite8983]

@@henriquepacheco7473 3 squares diagionally up, not 2, like literally next to the King, that forces Kiara to move the King because it's check but Kiara wouldn't be able to kill the Queen because the Knight is protecting it and the King cannot move to the right nor down because of the Queen herself and cannot move to the left either because of the King it was a checkmate right there, killing Kiara's horse wasn't necessary

Comment at 16:18 only works if that other piece is a knight. I originally put it in my comments, but questioned whether it is actually a knight (I think it moved like a bishop later in the match iirc.)

[@raze2469]

the viewers was 27k by the time kiara promotes her pawn

[@luki2584]

Poor Kiara, she doesn’t have the energy possessed by our winning son to turn things around.

[@whatthedudedoin5716]

This was so bad that it's funny, I've mastered crying while laughing at the same time.

[@killerking2346]

13:47 "Oh nyo". Damn, she really is a time traveller.

[@YoNicePaprika]

well the title didn't lie i'm in pain

[@DasOfTheBroken]

I think Kiara winning wouldn't promote her to bottom right, it would only demote Amelia to the left
