If you struggle with the process, bait the bot with defended pawns, to provoke it to take them. Also, at any point, you can just time travel with your queen and checkmate the bot.

The difference is that besides that the AI's must run in 2 more dimensions, the board grows exponentially every turn, compared to 2D chess where the board is limiter. This means that if you try to approach the game with brute force, the AI will have a really difficult time processing the moves. Also you must give a set of openings to not die in the first 5 turns (because of an openings mating sequence pattern called the f7 sac). Right now AI's in 5D chess have been able to get full depth of 5 but it requires 30 minutes to do so. Without time travel, they are much faster though.

@Moley1Moleo

This is very useful for most pieces. It can struggle with the Pawn and Queen since the definition of their movement is unclear. e.g. In regular chess, there are two equivalent ways to explain Queen movement. 1. The Queen can move any number of squares orthogonally or diagonally (i.e. like either a rook or bishop). 2. The Queen can move any number of spaces in any direction (which in 5d chess means to move like a rook, bishop, unicorn, or dragon.) 5D chess uses the 2nd definition for the Queen, using 1. for the 'Princess' variant. Similar with pawns and brawns.

I like how the developer implemented all of these complexities with no problems, but they took one look at en passant and were like, "Nah, we're not even gonna *try* to figure out how that might work across timelines; let's just say you just can't do it."

Honestly it...makes sense. Bishops move "diagonally" across timelines, for example. Knights maintain their signature L-shapes. But by golly is there an insane amount of information to keep sorted.

@josiahpeck6089

That's why the games background is a chess board, after all.

When it comes to piece movement through time, it’s helpful to keep two things in mind: 1.) Pieces can now move on the z-axis to other boards, but their usual movement rules still apply. 2.) Said movement rules should be defined by their literal definitions of moving on an axis. We’ve only had two to work with, but 5D chess offers the z-axis as a third choice when it comes to movement. A knight technically doesn’t move in a L-shape. It moves two spaces on one axis, then one space in another direction on another axis. Now that we’ve introduced the z-axis, the knight can travel back in time and travel like a one-space-moving rook if it goes two spaces along the z-axis into the past. Bishops don’t move diagonally, they move one space on an axis and one space on another as many times as they want. This can also mean the z-axis, meaning the bishop can move like a rook if it goes into the past.

Let go of bishops and queens moving “diagonally”. They technically do not. Think about them travelling multiple directions at once. For example, a bishop moves 2 directions at once. Usually, this would be both the x and the y axis, but when travelling back in time, one of those axis is time, so the other axis must either be x or y. Also, the reason why the spaces keep getting further apart with each board is because the number of spaces moved have to be the same with both axises. Eg, if the bishop moves 2 spaces diagonally to the top left corner, the bishop moved 2 spaces to the left and 2 spaces up.

Kudos guys, for taking the time out to learn this thing. The hardest part is done, and you don't have to do it again

This is one of the best tutorials I've seen for this game. I actually learned a few new things there.

You could've explained the movement a little better. For example, Rooks must move to the same board space across boards because they move orthogonally (in only one dimension at a time) and time is a dimension, and bishops move diagonally (two dimensions at a time) so when moving through time it looks like they also move orthogonally, but that's because the other dimension they're moving in is through time. Knights move two in one dimension and one in another, or vice versa. Kings and especially Queens were majorly buffed since they can also move triagonally (in three dimensions at a time) like the Unicorn fairy piece the game includes and quadragonally (in all four dimensions that can be used for movement at once) like the Dragon fairy piece introduced by 5D Chess. Speaking of, will there be a followup on the fairy pieces that you might see in the non-standard board setups?

It's interesting how the longer explanations are needed for people. When I heard bishops must move diagonally, it made sense that they attack horizontally or vertically across time, because that's a diagonal, and that they control the square they are on diagonally across time and dimensions. Even funnier was hearing Hikaru say "That's not an L shape" watching a knight move back through time when it totally was, just the L shape wasn't geometrically laid out for him so he could see it that way.

the contra intuitive thing is, that the bishops can change the colour they are on when going through time. In 3D chess this is addressed by the boards alternating the colours. but in this game the square colours stay the same through time.

Hikaru is too smart to notice common pattern recognition. He even forgets how to play chess sometimes.

i agree.I think the video was a great explanation but could have been shorter.

I actually love this game I was so excited when you said that you were going to make a video about it!

he did it, the madlad did it. the people in the comments keep asking for it and finnaly it's here. I still can't believe tsg actually did 5D chess with multiverse time travel

I love that you understand this game and I understand your explanation

This is perhaps the most necessary tutorial video ever made.

Just got the game, I love it. It's aesthetically so smooth and well designed, well also being extremely confusing.

the phrase "en passant accross timelines is not allowed" really sells the meme variant

Thank you for doing this , you are truly awesome

So much stuff I had not figured out, you explain. Great job

tbf, the rules are almost identical. The movement works on the principals of 3d chess which is pretty logical. The hard part is the millions of additional scenarios and strategies that come about due to time travel

If you checkmate on an inactive board that prevents the opponent from timetraveling since the active of time traveling by the opponent would either allow you to make a new timeline or for the more recent timeline you created to become active. The only loopholes is if the first move the opponent makes is a time traveling and dimension hoping and removes the checkmate.

one of my favorite strategies is to move a knight early and keep that space empty for all time. then you can move a rook there later and since you kept it empty you can just go back to the beginning.

This is the most interesting, informative, yet confusing video that I have watched to it's full extent. Maybe it's because of my basic chess and Hollywood time travel knowledge.

👏 bravo for explaining this in such a thorough manner! (Plus, not trying to describe it in terms of multiple dimensions! 👏 👏)

Why do you consider that a good thing

A mathematical way to understand piece movement is via changes in value on 4 axis (x, y, time and parallel): Knights - move 2 on one axis and 1 in another. In normal chess, this means 2x,1y, or 1x,2y (creating an L-shape). In 5d chess, this can be 1x,2t or 2t,1p, etc. Bishops - move n amount of spaces in 2 axis. So when they move a certain number of spaces on one axis, they must move the same amount of spaces on another axis. In normal chess, this creates the diagonal. In 5d chess, this makes them move laterally when time travelling. Rooks - move n amount of spaces in 1 axis. In normal chess, this gives them lateral movement. In 5d chess, this confines them to staying on the same square when time travelling. Queen - moves n amount of spaces in any number of axis. In normal chess, this lets them move as either a rook or bishop. In 5d chess, this gives them insane mobility when time travelling, allowing for ridiculous checkmates.

Actually both kings and queens are able to travel 1, 2, 3, or 4 dimensions at once

we can think queens as being able to move to every single direction, not just the rook + the bishop movements.

So what's the fifth dimension of play?

Steam categorizes this game as "Psychological Horror".

Some vocabulary you might use to describe the movement of pieces is orthogonal (same as rook), diagonal (same as bishops), triagonal (it is a diagonal in 3 dimensions, meaning instead of walking multiples of the vector (1,1,0,0), for example, it will walk on a (1,1,1,0) vector. For example, they go 3 squares to the past, 3 squares to right and 3 squares up. A quadragonal is a (1,1,1,1), which means you need to choose all 4 dimensions. Going to the past (or future) going to an adjacent timeline, and diagonal on the board.

WOW this version is COMPLICATED thanks for the detailed explanation

Perfect! Now I know exactly how to play 5D chess...

"I'll discuss timeline branches after we have covered the basics of time travel." LOL

Best video explanation I found so far.

Great explanation, thanks

Theoretically you might need infinite

Finally i can say "i am 4 parallel universes ahead of you"

This idea is so cool and I’m only at the part to where like u can go back in time and change what move was made which creates another timeline so I’m excited to see where this goes and how to it ends

Just the other day, I was wondering how 5D chess would work, and now, KZread has presented me with this video! What perfect timing! (No pun intended!)

"en passante across timelines is not allowed" is a power term

“The rules are the same as regular chess, except for literally everything”

Thanks for guide.

A way to kinda understand the time travel part: is like imagine the entire chess match is a video, and you can scroll to any frame (move), and you can change a frame (move) but that would change the entire video into a new one.

This man said the basics of time travel as if this is as simple as 1st grade math

Yass, thank you! Now do the variations with unicorns and dragons

This is my new favorite video in KZread.

Hey guys I'm from the 5d chess community the game is really fun and community is very welcoming feel free to start playing and join the discord.
