I kind of love how the mistake is King to rook 2 (Ka7), and how Moriarty is diagnosed with acute narcissism earlier in the movie by Sherlock, Moriarty's play and character are intrinsically linked - he sees himself as the king, to his own demise. It's like his personality flaws lose him his fortune and also the game of chess. Brilliant screenplay!
@user-th9th7dk3uАй бұрын
Yeah rook blocks at least prolongs mate, but I’m pretty sure the position was dead lost for black even before accepting the queen sac. This was actually based on a real game that was played out differently with black resigning in the end.

And that is why you study your opponent. Moriarty gave him that weakness himself in their first face to face interaction in the movie, and was the pivotal information Sherlock needed to defeat him.
@donjezza10Ай бұрын
People usually criticize this scene since Moriarty is consistently losing, but that's the whole idea. Sherlock had the upper hand the whole time, both in the chess game and IRL, only Moriarty wasn't aware of the latter. So the game reflects their real-life conflict from Sherlock's perspective, not Moriarty's.

Moriarty said that it's human nature to seek conflict and thus war is inevitable. Donating his stuff to fund that organisation is Sherlock's little jab back for that indicating that humans are also capable of bringing relief from tragedies of conflict and don't have to be fixed by human nature. It also serves to piss him off.

That move wasn't available to the queen. So at the end the queen makes a second move out of sequence.
@user-tb8uo9lt2x23 күн бұрын
@@Davo5673 I don't think it was a mistake. Moriarty and Holmes both knew that by moving the queen Holmes would have to move the king and it had only one move to make. So essentially was saying "I'm taking the pawn after you move your king". It'd be the kind of assumption you'd find upon such "super geniuses"
@ShaggyRogers115 күн бұрын
@@user-tb8uo9lt2x The "mistake" is that the movie skips a couple moves and the channel is so careless that they don't even have Sherlock and Moriarty moving the correct color pieces in the graphic, so would have to also make the mistake of not having a pawn on said square. Of course, the movie also skips whatever Moriarty's last move was, but his queen takes knight pawn also makes no real sense due to the fact that he already knows he is mate in 1. A last move check that has nothing to follow it up when you are mate in 1 is the action of either an idiot that can't read the board or a petulant child. It added nothing to the scene, since even Sherlock doesn't bother letting him say another random move before announcing the mate in 1.
