0d Chess: There is no board. The players argue over who is in checkmate until one player concedes.

5:59 “a” I agree, very insightful addition to an intriguing video

Next up: explaining 2d chess all moves until the universe ends

Beginning of game: White to move: *Mate in 6* Black resigns

This is how I imagine 4D beings view 2D chess

I know he’s talking about his cool game but that cat is adorable

This game would be actually interesting if the 1d line was longer and if there were different pieces that can jump different lengths

1d chess: pretty interesting cat: deeply enthralling

Ok but imagine this: 2D chess

I always enjoy a man who takes the time to pet his cat even while explaining chess

"My liege, why should we fight in this alley?" "Do it 🗿"

Little known fact the cat is actually commentating, the human is only there to demonstrate what the cat is describing

"knight jumps over" sounds like there's a second dimension

Finally, a version of Chess I can understand the strategy for.

1D chess, the only one version of chess in which you can thoroughly explain every single possible position of all pieces

1.5D chess: The players take 2 boards and repeatedly beat each other with them until one falls unconscious.

This game is too one dimensional

This is actually my preferred way of playing chess. It can be a little frustrating at times due to the bear trap fixed above your head which is released into free fall if you lose, but once you get past that it’s actually very fun and enjoyable.

"Rook takes 6th square, stalemate." "AGAIN, Jimmy?!"

I’d like to verse Magnus Carlsen in 1d chess, me with the white pieces

Came here thinking it was a joke video, stayed cause this is actually pretty interesting

I feel like this could make a good challenge or bar game with the addition of one rule: In the event of a stalemate, black wins. With this change, white still has a few guaranteed paths to victory, but one wrong move and black wins. In a game where players have never played before it would balance things out a bit. That is until the players inevitably work out the solution.

1:50 HE STARES DEEPLY INTO OUR SOULS, ETERNALLY JUDGING US, CONDEMNING US OF OUR SINS.

It feels exactly like Tic Tac Toe, you just know every combination and it's almost always a draw

*"we thought they were playing 4D chess but actually they were playing 1D chess"*

this is fascinating, once i saw that Rook takes Rook is a draw, i adjusted my seat and knew that was serious, i love it

The fact that you can explain this game and every possible step-by-step outcome of the game in just 6 minutes is insane

This was like 30% more interesting than I previously thought

I think the most remarkable aspect of this video is that your cat managed to lay at the same spot for 6 minutes -without- _while not_ sleeping

I love how this would be a great introduction to mentalisation in chess. Simple lines where the outcome is clear and repeating patterns.

These chess mods are coming faster than the sequel of chess

5d Chess: "Im 4 Parallel universes ahead of you"

"a chess board can have an almost infinite amount of possible positions" "Five, take it or leave it."

3 часа ночи. Самое время конечно же посмотреть видео о том как парень изобрел однолинейные шахматы!

You could play a 1D chess game where pieces are allowed to move into complex positions beyond the edges of the one line of play. They can move around as normal in complex space, even superimpose on each other but can only take pieces in the real 1D space.

This video has the weirdest interest curve. Starts with no interest, and a premise that is as dull as it is mad, then it starts to ramp up and JUST KEEPS GOING UP.

This sort of reminds me of those "games" where they were basically made to look like a game but are more like a prank to always win if you know what to do or pick.

This man literally playing 1D chess

This is basically naughts and crosses where whoever goes first will either win or draw

If you ever feel useless, remember the rest of this mans chess board

Too complex for me, I will keep learning tic tac toe theory.

imagine the chess mods making gambits for this one

the cat’s presence was vital to my understanding of the video. thank you for your powerful insight, cat.

I like your cat. :>

This is what i feel like when im trying to find a strategy when me and my friend only have 6 pokemon cards to play with

This is actually a really good way to analyze combat tactics regarding an attack and defense situation where it’s a head to head fight between close to, if not, equal forces. Very interesting

Knight should be able to jump just one space as that's the other way to think about the "L" move in 2D

The only game of chess where you can play every possible game in 1 video

So, it's basically a tic-tac-to chess version, where everyone who moves first can win for sure unless they messed up

WOW EXCELLENT EXCELLENT ANALYSIS/DEMONSTRATION OF SOLVING 1D CHESS! some notes/highlights 0:00 - not sure board is setup correctly...bottom right is dark square? should be light square right? 0:00 - reminds me of this rule in topology that the n-sphere is 'simply connected' for n greater than or equal to 2 but not simply connected for dimension 1. or how real 1-manifolds are easily classified but complex 1-manifolds, being real 2-manifolds, aren't. (or something) nice. nice. 0:11 - rook = queen = bishop in 1D chess right? 0:11 - i guess pawns are not soul of 1D chess since they shouldn't be able to get past the opposite king or capture pieces 3:12 waiting move aka quiet move? wow nice 3:33 - smothered mate niiiiiiiiiiiiiice 5:28 - THE GREATEST: MATE BY AN X-RAY!!!!!!!!!!! NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE. Oh actually it's both discovered and x-ray. Even nicer!

Idea: you could extend the board by adding connectors to the ends of the lines and pretending it’s a continuous line. You might actually be able to get a fun game there

The white knight is tethered to the white square just like a bishop meaning the knights can’t trade.

those pieces look like they're made out of chocolate

I love it. Maybe you should call it Zugzwang Chess as the players are constantly in a zugzwang and will lose

haft way into the video i let the realization sink in that im watching a video about 1D chess at 4am

This video in a nutshell: Basically whoever gets to go first is going to win. 😂

What a cool game, they should make a 5D version of this with Multiverse time travel

who would’ve guessed that 1D chess is still too complicated for my lizard brain to comprehend

Ideas for the other pieces. Bishop; acts like a rook but it can only go on the color it starts on. If there is a piece on a diffrent color, it may choose to hop over that piece, and capture it to end its turn, if there is a piece behind the piece which is jumped over, it cannot make the move. Queen; can move infinitely in both directions like a rook, but can also hop over a piece in its way to capture it (as long as there is nothing behind said piece, it can also just go to the place where the piece is and knock it off. Pawn; can move 1 foward (or two on its first turn) and capture 1 forward, however, it has a special ability. It can move to the same square of a (friendly) piece and even move ahead of the (friendly piece) on its next turn and both pieces are just fine, for example: a pawn moves from the 3rd rank to the 4th rank, but there is already a (friendly) knight there. Well no worries it can move there anyway, meaning two pieces can occupy the same square, and on the next turn it can go from 4th to 5th rank, it just walked through a piece. This will not work if a pawn tries this with an enemy piece, the pawn will just capture it. A pawn will be captured if an enemy piece moves first into the pawns square. Secondly a Friendly piece can move into a friendly pawns square: (excluding the rook) which ends the pieces turn, for example: queen is on the 2nd rank and there is a pawn on the 3rd rank, the queen can move to the 3rd rank being on the same square as the pawn. This cannot work with any other two pieces, Only the pawn is allowed to go on the same square as a friendly piece. A bishop cannot be on the same square as a knight. no more than 2 pieces can be on a square. if a enemy piece to take on a square with a piece and a pawn, both pieces are captured allowing for 2 captures at once. And lastly, if a piece is not on the same square as a pawn, it cannot see through it, but if the piece is on the same square as it, it can see through it. I'd enjoy a reply that can simplify the pawns special rule. Edit (you might need to extend the board to something like 16 squares long if you want to play with these extra pieces) EDIT #2; in order to give the rooks more freedom, the rook has a one time castle move, where if both pieces havent moved, the rook may switch places with ANY friendly piece, again both the rook and the targeted piece cannot have moved. And an idea, you can play with 2-5 types of pieces instead of all 6. And some other ideas: King goes on the 1st rank and the rook goes on the 2nd rank the queen and bishop go ahead of the king rook, and the knight can be sandwiched in between any of the pieces as it can hop over, and pawn(s) go in the front.

This is actually quite interesting. If the victory conditions were changed so that the goal is to make the most moves in a single game and the fail condition is being the last to move or checkmating your opponent as an immediate loss.

5d chess: I can explain 3d chess: You can travel through time and parallel universes, I can only go on z, x and y 2d chess: what is z? 1d chess: what is y? 0d chess: Have you guys got dimensions?

We played a different gamestyle called Chess: Champions. Basically, we only used half of the board with both sides having 4 pawns but you can choose only 2 champions (two or combinations of knights, rooks, or bishops) since the final two should only be the King and Queen.

The king, much pleased with the 1D chess board, told its inventor: "Name anything, and I will give it to you." The inventor answered: "For the first square on my chess board, give me one grain of wheat. Then, for every square on my board, give me double the previous amount of wheat. That is all I ask." And so the king gave them 511 grains of wheat.

I just watched a "5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel" video, and then this popped up. KZfaq recommendations are trying to say something... Edit: No worries I only improved my trash grammar 5 months ago.

40d chess: the world just is chess. Coming to stores in the year 5021

This gamemode in the new Chess Update is looking pretty cool. Waited for 2000 years for this.

I guess you could say this is an "one-sided game"

This game is too straight forward

Makes me think of a variant where the board expands by one row after a certain amount of moves so maybe black could win if they hold out well enough.

This is honestly really cool. Gets you thinking.

"this position is quite complicated"

This dude: explaining how the 1D chess works. My brain: aww cute cat

This is the perfect video to procrastinate on

The bishop is currently crying in the corner.

Hello everyone, welcome back to the good stuff, today we gonna take a look at 1D chess. Without further ado we have knight to a4, feel free to pause the video and find the winning move for black while I give you a couple of seconds. So for those of you who are able to do it, congratulations, it was in this position black resign the game.

Sorry I was too focused on the cat What were we talking about again?

Figured all of this out before he even finished explaining the way the pieces move.

This is like going up against an insane computer where it calculates a mate in 83 2 moves into the game

-1D chess: the chess pieces play chess while humans are the chess pieces

1:50 the cat is staring deep into our soul

Most interesting part is thw cat doesn't mindlessly flick the pieces off the board

That’s fascinating, chess can still be so Complicated even at its simplest

Interesting concept, but I personally thing that a 16 tile long board would be better than an 8 tile long board, so it could be more interesting

"Today we'll have a look at 1D chess." Me : It will be so easy lol. 6 minutes later. Me : *staring at screen with a notebook, a pen and a chessboard*

1D Chess: The game where the second player will always loose.

I cannot help but notice how unusual this board is, with the fold between D and E file instead of between 4th and 5th rank.

Finally, a version of chess simple enough for me to understand

Guy: talking about 1D chess Me an intellectual: *c a t*

i don't know how i got captivated by this

Was fun playing out the moves when you said a move

Cant believe you played such an epic move THEY HAD NO CHANCE

3:48 "and this position is quite complicated" Bruh it's 1D chess

proposed sidegrade an invincible pawn for each team lies on eight rank they can occupy the same space if a piece of their color is on the same file as the pawn, that piece gets cardinal movement (up down left right). if a piece exists on a rank that isnt first, it moves with its respective pawn. a piece must return to 1st rank if there is an available space for it to do so and it would not be an illegal move.

I’d like to see a huge line graph of all the possible variations. Only 2 back and forth moves, tho.

My brain: **such video** **Much interesting** My eyes: *hehe fluffy kitty*

Black king: I went forward in time, to view alternate futures, to see all the possible outcomes of the coming conflict. Black rook: How many did you see? Black king: Fourteen million six hundred and five. Black knight: How many did we win? Black king: One.

Don't know about you but that cat has been taking my entire concentration

there's 2 variant moves that also work: 1) after black rook moves forward 1 space (black's first move) white actually has another possible waiting move, Rook moves back 1 space instead of king moves forward 1 space. It has the same effect. 2) in the situation where black moves knight forward, then white captures rook check, then black moves forward to escape, white moves rook forward, black king captures knight, again white has 2 possible moves, the other is move the king forward, in which case blacks only move is to move the king back, then rook captures knight mate like before

3:15 ah yes of course, the immortal 1D Zugzwang
