"we call this nuance to mock the developer" had me busting out laughing.

Chess Dynasties Enhanced

Losing my king certainly would lower my morale

how come this channel isn't named "Channel Icely Advanced", makes for a quaint acronym, too

Chess evolved online is sure an Advanced battle of Chess.

Secret Channel Evolved???

The best joke for this channel would to have this be the only video ever on it. Although for now it seems like you have several videos planned on this game, looking forward to em!

waiting for someone to make a Chess Battle Advanced joke

0:01 I am so glad that this video got so much traction! I used to play 250 hours of this back in 2021 or so. An underrated part of the game is the discord. Every time I talk about arguing on the internet, I fondly recall that one time that GodOfTomatoes and I had an argument against f0x from 1 to 4 in the morning about wether telemarketers added value to society. I may have had my differences with the man (EDIT: f0x, GoT was supper kind and lovely), but he was an actual factual intellectual. And Elias once showed me I was a mere grasshopper by roleplaying as a plane-planeteer and utterly trouncing my attemps at overcoming the lack of logic. That was magical. I have issues with CCGs where I get complacent and fail to update my decks, so I lost impulse to play, but I still remember it fondly. Now that I lost access to DBD I might give it a spin. Long Live Grand (even if I play SleeperService more). On to the video!!! 0:22 Also having 40 names and developing some extremely solid modular discord bots on a level I have scarcely seen elsewhere. 0:30 classic andrew hussie meets the housing crisis is the everything crisis meets sleep deprivation 2:30 Oh god classic Kingmover spam that everyone did well except me XD 2:59 I have won a billion games where I traded kings with Angel and then ran down the biggest champion they had. So nice. Something cool is that you can be a GM while being an 800 in chess, like me. Just know your openings and play with your brain. I wish there was a real timeout wincon, instead of the constant +15 3:06 To be fair, vertical castling was also a common joke until very recently in regular chess. It was written in a puzzle that required the king to castle vertically with a newly promoted rook, but the FIDE rules already specified it was only a move to be performed on the same rank. It was written something like O-O-O-O-O-O-O# 4:02 the store and premium currency are also the most generous you'll ever see. Drop a dragon blessing, use the market, sell low tier units, you cruise 4:55 Not necessary at all. I like mot of what TheGrandestine did 6:43 be VERY careful with random megaminion discovered attacks, and don't confuse a piece for another XD 7:54 Just make sure there is not a Dove in the diagonal 8:45 Just use your brain also, because if you even trade too much you might find yourself hard-pressed to defend yourself against an uptrader like HauntedArmor, or a solomater like Dragon. Sometimes a Knight is stronger than a bishop, as Levy says 10:40 I had a custom piece back then that was a Convoy, it was basically a Prince (kingmover) that had a Warrior, a Knight and a Ninja inside it. It could move like all of them, being a way overcosted dragon with Ninja farjump, but each time it captured something with a non-kingmove, it would "deploy" (transform enemy into) the piece it captured with, so you could dissasemble it and end up with an 8 cost kingmover and 3 extra champions, if you could eat 3 minions. It was a fun idea, like all custom pieces. It even got levelled-up pieces and armor as you upgraded it, making it more efficient and risky 13:10 Speaking as an FTP myself 16:01 I have gotten hit by lighting on non immobile units when the opponent jumped into a bad trade while I was unaware. It's very good area denial, even if Wrath is a more common user. Man, I miss Lust Samurai 16:19 "Free" being three turns and one morale. Development is still a thing. Grand called hardcountring part of a more nuanced thing, so yeah. It's the grand equivalent of "filosofía muy interesante" for any argentinian viewers 19:43 I so love this upgrade system. Pawn+ is actually a very good unit to run as a 2 of in the center on a well designed army. But something like Samurai+ sucks 26:37 Much less addicting than DBD or the average RPG I play. And if anything just log in for 2 minutes. I played like 3 days a week 27:49 Pleasure watching. Subbed

This game broke my brain back way back then when I played it. Chess Evolved Online

Channel Bonus Arrives

I really love this game, I hate that it has such strict progression and there's no way to just mess around with your friend using all the pieces. I hate that not a single person has made a chess variant that is as balanced or interesting. You say this is unbalanced, but at least it manages to have a customization system that somewhat balances itself with the point total thing and morale. I just want to play a sandbox version of this with my friends, I'm so annoyed that no other game is like this.

Played this for a while on Kongregate ages ago but quit when pieces started appearing in my dreams. Tried coming back to it a couple years later but in 10+ ranked games i only faced bots so i gave up on it. Cool to see someone talking about it!

I would love a video explaining what things are in this game, such as reputation, royal power, crowns, gold stars, and contribution.

Humongous chess batte advanced

ah yes Warhammer but for chess nerds still wish the grind wasn't as painful, i just wanna do cool things with an 8x8 grid but i gotta get them rubies to unlock pieces and fasjkgasjgkdsaj i hate grind

"Chess Online is an mmo rpg where you write your own army"

Icely would you play Rise of the Pawn? It is truly the most advanced of battle chess

I fucking love this game thx for introducing it to me.

eagerly looking forward to that vid on the dev :3c

4:05 this is literally the cba title screen

I used to play this like 6 years ago, kinda nostalgic

I remember playing this on Kongregate for a while, was decently fun

The fact your covering the game completes the meme, its done. I hope the game gets more popular/polished

I really want someone to explain to me what Chess Battle Advanced even is. I have never been able to find a clear answer.

this looks so interesting!

this is my new favourite game thank you so much also haha chess battle advanced

This channel feels very necessary, chess battle advanced

Chess Battle Advanced

Man, I used to play this game, and seeing it on here was a surprise And even bigger surprise is not understanding anything you said! What must this community be, I am not a part of

i have never laughed so hard watching a chess youtube video. i might be dead

whoa new icely channel

Man, I remember playing this years ago. Is it finally out of beta tho?

Just got this randomly recommended. Surprised that you have second channel. Did you ever mentioned it on your main one?

4:30 Kongregate mentioned. Like administered

surely you didn't make this on a second channel to avoid this being your 1000th video

I found the necessary second channel nvm it was published on his community tab

Oh hey, I wonder if I've played against your main account before. If you've played against some dude with a weird obsession with archers, that was probably me.

It feels like a totally unbalanced variant of chess, and I like it! 🙃

Given that this video got recommended to me out of the Aether with me not being a watcher of chess or having ever seen anything from you prior I'm not really sure if that last thing you said at the end was meant as a good thing or a bad thing and now I'm curious as to which it is.

Chess battle very advanced

stress chess

finally, a real video game

yeah, almost chess 2, just need one more thing, but i don't know exactly what

"You don't need to buy the arcane box" Buys an arcane box 🤔

love that this video is you saying "i love this game despite being the dev being the absolute fucking worst"

Samurai and Phoenix destroy ai and low ladder, it's hilarious.

I'm planning to make a chess game soon

If this is OOCBA, which games are OCBA amd CBA?

Quick question: does this game still get updated? You mentioned the dev is still active, but steam seemed to show that the last update was 3 years ago. Also you saying old old cba suggests that cba does actually exist, and that ceo was just the prequel

What did the developer do again? Is there a doc where i can read it?

i liked the part with the chess

Can we get more of an explanation on how the threat board works? There's different sizes of colored boxes, and it's not entirely clear what they mean. Perhaps large is a magic attack?

Been playing the daily chess challenges on this for... almost, over a decade? Brilliant game, ruined regular chess for me - despite being horribly unbalanced.

I really enjoy this game, I found it by the devs idle-incremental game actually lol, Undefeated Spider is a good game 0kay..

CHESS BATTLE ADVANCED IS REAL

Ngl the best solution to balancing with costs like this could just be done automatically. Just measure how often a piece is used vs how often it wins games and adjust the cost accordingly. Eventually, assuming a negative feedback loop forms, a decent equilibrium should occur. As long as the interval between balances is correct anything overpowered will get nerfed fairly quickly and the player base will adjust accordingly. So for example if there's a disproportionate number of wizard+ winning games then the cost jumps to 15. If queens disappear from high level play they drop down 1 cost.

You should play the rubik's cube chess by carykh

Well I've been enjoying this game quite a lot today. I think I'm relying too much on the wizard though...

cheese cattle advancing

wasn't this the origin of CBA that was made because CBA's dev thought that it was very pay to win

League of chess! They should sell skins actually!

The Based Take is a pretty interesting one. It's not totally without grains of truth, despite starting with an unhinged claim about tiktok and maybe not understanding the design and intent of a modern liberal government or the (rather low) degree of sophistication of modern algorithms

Icly puzles has a new channel?

I like the game and that it has more progression but I won't play it because of the treadmill mechanics

why does this channel exist this video would've worked fine on main

Is your pfp some kind of piece from chess battle advanced??

the original cba

Calling a person "spaghetti monster" is my new favorite thing.

Chess Actually Balanced

Hm, I should play this Chess Hell.

Chess workshop is crazy bruh

How can we know that you are the real icely?

Pov: this video makes your 2nd channel grow

Skinner Battle Advanced

is that a channel dedicated only to chess battle advanced? also why lime

This makes me feel like I should try making my own simultaneously less shitty and more shitty version.

Ninja is just King + Spearman.

woah icely has a twin that sounds exactly like him and has a channel that pretends to be his unnecessary second channel??????

chess... battle... advanced?

creating builds advanced

Icely seCond Battle Advanced

I remember playing this back in 2018 and being terrible

Who is icely

Yeah this will be a none hit.

celery

why is this channel a thing whats up with rhe hidden videos

chess battle advanced battle advanced

You know i left the game for good. I was at 3000 elo and returning to the game was SO harsh, everyone was way better than me, and all the players i've played against were veterans who've played this game way longer than i ever will. I left for the reason that i'm outmatched and there was no point. Chess Battle Advanced is also such a stupid joke. Like how can you say that ur making a game to then just abandon it because the dev got bored? This game is so good, but it has so many issues that i just couldn't enjoy the game anymore.

Chess Fite Next

I feel like this game could be a brilliant commentary on the problems of modern game design by adding unnecessary bloat and skinner box mechanics to one of the most elegant games in existence. I would genuinely assume it's a troll if the creator wasn't addicted to scam games. Heck, I don't even think he's all that wrong about TikTok and KZfaq trying to manipulate and radicalize people, but then these types of games are all about psychological manipulation.

No idea why this showed up in my recommendations but sure 😂

Chess Evolved lags my pc ***so*** ***much***

i wish this game was batter.

I have subscribed but I hope you never upload another video.
