9:13 As far as I'm aware, the two-tile-move was because a lot of games ended up opening with the same Pawn being moved forward twice on both sides, and then En Passant was later introduced because people were using that two-tile move to bypass enemy Pawns when they otherwise wouldn't be able to. In other words, their removal is entirely justified in this chaotic variant.

7:42 Oh boy! I can't wait to promote my pawn into another pawn!

Now my brain is melting trying to imagine 6D rubik's cube chess with multiverse time travel.

I would recommend adding an option to start with the cube scrambled and if you solve it you win in addition to getting checkmate.

12:14 Gotta love how white wins the game before it even starts

Per official chess rules, this update made it wrong where it was correct before. The FIDE rules state:"The knight may move to one of the squares nearest to that on which it stands but not on the same rank, file or diagonal." So in fact, what everyone told you was wrong and you were right by accident.

9:51 i DIDN'T speak such words, my king cary! please do not punish me for my sad and unaware actions!

7:43 I promote my pawn to a... PAWN!

8:15 On this point, there are cases in regular chess where under-promoting to rook is better. Promoting to queen may result in a stalemate in an otherwise winning position.

It's interesting that the FIDE definition of the knight's move is not equivalent to the two and one tiles definition on a rubik's cube. The FIDE definition says that the knight moves to the closest squares that are not on the same rank, file, or diagonal so, some of those moves wouldn't be legal if you used that.

In fact, many people forget that the Knight move is not just an L-shaped move. The Knight's move includes "jumping" (since it can't be blocked by other pieces) to the nearest squares that are NOT horizontal, vertical or diagonal, as it works for the Rook and Bishop (or Queen, if you combine them both). Therefore, I even see more logic in the old knight move system, as the new added options are Bishop-like (while the Knight does not repeat the movement capabilities of any other piece, being the most tricky one).

legit forgot this was somewhat of a sillypost until i remembered the T-Posing Inklings

The reasoning behind en passant and pawns being able to move 2 steps on their first turn was a way to speed up the game and get into the middle game more quickly. I feel like it's fair to remove those rules here as pawn structure doesn't seem that important and the game is already complex enough at the beginning, it doesn't need to be sped up.

12:17 but if you change it to 1, then e- …..😰 then every single tile will have a piece on it 😊

cant believe carykh created the battle between light and dark at the heart of skaia

9:24 the reason that the 2 space first move rule of chess was made was because games were too slow and this made games go faster, and en passant was made because if you were playing the old version of chess the pawn normally wouldn’t be able to move 2 spaces to avoid capture because if you moved one space at a time the first move would have put them in danger. Your version might not need this because maybe the moving chess boards would make the game start up fast enough to be fun.

0:18 it's a smile. 11:25 it would be cool if the hand could remove one wall for one turn.

I almost want to mod the comically long splatoon pathfinding back in tbh

I think you didn't get it right. The knight movements are the opposite of the queen but without infinite distance. What I mean is if you put a queen and highlight all possible moves the nearest not-highlited squares are the ones that the knight moves. The FIDE rules explains that a bit better than me but a lot less visual: > The knight may move to one of the squares nearest to that on which it stands but not on the same rank, file or diagonal
