  • 5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel Part 2 - it's back, and with a proper tutorial this time. Now you all can train to be multidimensional chess grandmasters. If there's another video, it'll be on full 8x8 boards, this just had to be 5x5 for the sake of the tutorial.
    Edited by: Tyler
    5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel is generalized from ordinary chess. There are two spatial dimensions, a third unused spatial dimension, a fourth dimension representing time, and a fifth dimension representing parallel timelines. When pieces travel to the past, paradoxes are avoided by using a branching timeline system. Capture a king to win!

      I'd never thought of it as a race thing.
      To me it was a reflection of religion;
      Two different rigid ways of thinking that can never agree on something.
      So the two bishops each represent a different religion, and can't go into the space the other has dominion over.
      The other pieces however, not being tied to strongly to a religion, can go wherever they please...

      It's interesting to me that the better old style chess players will consider and call this game lame,.... because they find themselves losing to weaker players that are understanding how 5 dimensions changes the old style chess game.

      well, it's not wrong. it's literally how we teach self learning chess ais that are able to make better moves than people who have become reliant on brute force algorithms that would disagree with the moves the ai makes.
      Regular chess is cruel to beginners becuase the fastest way to become good is to memorize all of the optimal openings and learn how to deal with certain endgames or else risk being utterly stomped and during the beginning or end of a match learning nothing rather than playing for fun and improving over time.
      5d chess, on the other hand, is new and complicated enough to alow players grow their understanding through play rather than letting some algorithm brute force a decent move that should lead to a win.

    Here's a tip: if they create more than two timelines with their queen before you make any, those queens are stuck in those timelines if you don't move them. Never move a piece into the past if you won't make a purple arrow, and especially not a queen, because if you do, you're suddenly down a piece on that board, and if your opponent decides to not move that timeline or make another one, the piece that you sent back will be stuck there. I beat quite a few people who blundered their queens into timelines I didn't have to move.

      @@synchrai2969 The first timeline created by anyone will be purple, after that, if you make a second timeline without your opponent making one, that will not be purple. If your opponent makes a timeline after you've made one, that timeline will be purple, because they've made the same number of timelines as you at that point.
      - A timeline will not be purple if the player creating it has made more timelines than their opponent. -
      If you are the first one to time travel, wait until your opponent time travels, then the timeline you make next will be purple. Never make two timelines in a row (unless your opponent has optional timelines, but in that case, he's down material in the purple timelines, so you'll probably not want to let him get those pieces back), because the second one will not be purple until your opponent time travels (and if you make a timeline that isn't purple with a queen, then they likely won't need to, since you're now down a queen if they let it be stuck in the timeline it fled to). If you make timelines while your opponent has inactive ones, they will become active as you create your own, in the order that they were created.

    It's like you start with a single chess board, but each move puts a new board on top of the old one so you're playing chess in a cube (as long as you ignore the parallel dimensions. If you include those, it's playing chess in a 4D hypercube, which is impossible for humans to fully visualize).

    Technically, we're playing 4D chess mechanically; we have x and y, z for time, and w for parallel dimensions. It's more intuitive to describe it as 5D though, because instead of taking place inside a 4-cube like 4D chess would normally take place in, our game takes place inside an ever expanding four dimensional rectangular prism.

      @@nutmeggaming11261 no, because as it expands in the 4th dimension, the corners are still 90 degree angles. As a square expands into a cube, the sides aren't slanted relative to the original square before it reaches its cube shape, and they're not slanted after the cube expands further; it's a rectangular prism before and after. It's helpful to think of the fourth dimension in terms of the differences between the second and third.

    Here is how the pieces move:
    They can move in 1-4 different dimensions X, Y, T, P
    One dimensional moves are lateral(rook)
    Two dimensional moves are diagonal(bishop)
    Three dimensional moves are triagonal(unicorn)
    Four dimensional moves are quaDRAGONal(dragon)
    Using N for number of spaces and D for direction
    Rook: N[D] - any number of spaces in any single direction
    Bishop: N[D, D] - any number of spaces in any two directions
    Knight: [2D, 1D] - a knight’s move in any two directions
    Unicorn: N[D, D, D] - any number of spaces in any three directions
    Dragon: N[X, Y, T, P]- any number of spaces in all four directions
    King: 1[D, (D), (D), (D)] - 1 space in up to 4 directions
    Queen: N[D, (D), (D), (D)] - any number of spaces in up to 4 directions.

A 4d box is a 2ftx3ftx4ftx18s. You're brain works in 4d too. If you've ever shot a bow and arrow, you dont have to hit a small 2d object, You have to hit a small 4d object. It only exists in a certain space for an instant, and you can aim further in time or sooner in time, as long as it is in the future. 5d big brain tho.
      Now think that (most of) you have never actually shot a bow and arrow, except for in a game. You're brain is projecting a 2d screen into a 3d environment then calculating the time it takes for an arrow to reach its virtual destination, then using the information of MANY arrow speeds, creating multiple 4d spaces (and multiple 4d spaces is a 4d multiverse, aka 5d) where it decides on the best possible direction and time to shoot along with the correct velocity to shoot the arrow, then telling your hand to move your aim instead of actually turning (which means you have to move your hand within less than a millimetre of precision, not to mention the inertia of your arm and mouse), then clicking for a certain amount of time to draw your bow back without physical feedback like the tension of a bow to tell you how far back it is pulled (all timing so you cant cheat it with a sense though its hardly cheating irl). Thats all happening in your brain which is basically some fat cells with a few ions passing some membranes. In milliseconds. And its precise enough to where you've probably pulled off shots like that a few times and you probably haven't tried that many. Oh and most of the time, it was your hand moving too little or too far, and clicking for a little too short or long. You probably calculated everything fairly well and saw it happen in your head. And you know you've missed (most of the time) pretty much as you fire it. Im thinking shooting someone flying with elytra in minecraft and trying to hit them. (hard but very possible)
      You're literally doing 5d math in your head without even realizing it, and compressing the decision into 4 dimensions. X angle, Y angle, Time to shoot, and Time to click.
      Thats really big brain.

      For example, in the 8 by 8 board, king pawn up is actually a super risky opener in 5D chess, because if that pawn gets taken/moved for any reason, you're leaving yourself open to both a bishop mate and a queen mate. Whereas in standard chess, king pawn up is about as bog standard of an opening move as you can make, because it contests the center board and allows your bishop and queen to make meaningful moves early on.

      @@nublord5648 So having played a decent amount of 5D chess, I find that instead of going for incremental advantages, it is far better to just have a mate in mind and work towards that, while avoiding obvious mates from your opponent (bishop mates and queen mates are the big 2 you need to watch). If you have an uncontested queen that's able to do bad things to the opponent's board, then chances are you have a checkmate (or, at the very least, a time travel or mate, which is often a checkmate with a few extra turns thrown in) in the making and you should just do that. Here's 3 rules that if you keep them in mind, you'll perform a lot better.
      1. Never leave the vertical line your king is on unblocked, that's just begging to get bishop or queen mated.
      2. Watch the opponent's queen at all times, especially in reference to the queen's ability to position itself diagonally from your king. If you allow your opponent to do that safely, you will probably lose.
      3. Always be looking for an opportunity to mate your opponent. If no opportunities are presenting themselves, consider time traveling to create such an opportunity. Draws are exceedingly rare in this game, so playing to not lose will almost always result in a loss.

    I mean, it literally just is chess, but with the option to move through 4 dimensions.
    0d is just a point in space, infinitely small with no real size.
    1d is just a series of points in space in a line that is infinitely long.
    2d is just every point that exists in a plane that can be defined by two non-parallel lines.
    3d is just every point that exists within a volume that can be defined by two non-parallel planes.
    There could be a 4th spacial dimension, but that is typically beyond the scope of our human understanding. Closest thing that we could point to and say is 'proof' of a 4th spacial dimension are wormholes, as they theoretically connect 2 points in 3d space without having to travel along any of the points between.
    The existence of a second spacial dimension allows for 'teleportation' along a given line, to travel from point A to point B without having to interact with any of the other points along that line. Similarly, the existence of a third spacial dimension allows for 'teleportation' around a given plane, to travel from point A to B to C without having to interact with any of the other points on that plane.
    4d is just a series of points in a line of time. It is the first temporal dimension.
    5d is just every point that exists in a plane that can be defined by two non-parallel timelines.
    For the sake of the game, you are allowed to move in two spacial dimensions, and two temporal dimensions. The third spacial dimension is left out for readability, as it's already hard enough to see everything that's going on in this game.
    I understand why they called it 5d chess, but you really only deal with four dimensions. So going by that naming logic, 7+ dimensional chess would be boring as fuck, as white would always make a first move to rewrite the rules of the game so that it wins.

    • @BrianatorFTW
      @BrianatorFTW 3 года назад +3

      I always liked the notion that the "3rd dimension" is used, but only by the Knight (and the King/Rook during a certain strange move/rule). **Every** other piece in the game **CANNOT** "pass through" other pieces to reach theoretical destinations, they either have to stop at the piece or go around it. Thus it is reasonable to assume the Knight (and the King/Rook) also can't just phase through things to get to his destination, instead he hops over(read:through the "3rd dimension") the other pieces (the King/Rook also doing a hop during Castling) to avoid having to take them or being outright block by allied pieces.

    • @emanuele6
      @emanuele6 3 года назад

      @@BrianatorFTW Every piece "hops"....
      Think about it: a knight moves by two in one dimension and by one in another dimension.
      a king can be moved by one in as many dimension as you like.
      let's take this example
      3 Q
      2R
      1KN
       AB
      the king, in order to move to b2, needs to either "hop" over the knight (when moving horizontally) or "hop" over the rook (when moving vertically).
      in the same way, the knight, in order to move to a3, needs to either "hop" over the queen (when moving vertically) or "hop" over the king (when moving horizontally and then "hop" over the rook (when moving vertically).
      The way you think about this is truly a huge stretch, I really don't like it and it isn't even consistent with the rules since it's not a dimension in which you can move (dimensional move) or a dimension in the general sense at all.
      To elaborate on why this isn't consistent with the rules, if you consider an "hop" a dimension this happens:
      3 Q
      2QK
      1KNR
       ABCD
      In this example, the knight can't move to a3 because that would require moving by 2 in the "hop" dimension, by 2 in the vertical dimension and by 1 in the horizontal dimension: the knight can only move by 2 in one dimension and by 1 in another dimension, so, that isn't a valid knight move.
      The knight can however move to d1: by moving by 1 in the "hop" dimension and by 2 in the horizontal dimension!
      This, obviously, isn't how the game works!

      I think they could have laid out the timeline better, but basically think of "turns" as less of "one per move", but a turn as "one per pair of moves". So black moves, white moves and boom that's a whole turn.
      Then, think of pieces only being able to move up/down/left/right, but some pieces like like the Bishop move in set combinations of those. So for each space you move a bishop, it has to move up once, right once, in the same directions each time. Upright, upright, upright, that's three diagonal moves.
      Finally, think of moving back in time, as just another direction. So knights can move up, down, left, right, or *backwards*, which ends up making a new timeline. Bishops can move upback, upback, which moves them two spaces up and two turns into the past, making a new timeline for the bishop to exist in.
      Hope that helps clear things up for you!

    One way to think about it is kinda like 3d chess i guess.
    in normal chess each piece can move in the x and z planes of the board.
    i use x and z cause they are the horizontal planes, and y is the vertical plane, which will denote each new board
    so after each move, you get a copy of the board, lay it on top of the board you just used, and use the new board for your next move.
    so a bishop can move in the x and z planes equally to make the diagonal, but because of the layered boards, it can also move in the x and y planes, or the y and z planes.
    each square on the board is actually a cube, the direction a piece can move is in any direction in that cube, as long as it obeys its primary move pattern.
    each move adds another layer of cubes on top, and the pieces on the top layer can travel down the stack of cubes.
    thats the best i can explain it, and i hope this helps some of you

    1:38 if you click the piece that has the king checkmated,
    you can press the history view button that pops up the the left of the board.
    Pressing this button will switch to History View with arrows for where the piece could move.

    I think if you make use of the History and Parallel Views, it'll be easier to convey the "moves in the past" and "move across timeline" concepts since you can linearly connect the dots between the spaces, especially for something like demonstrating the bishop's movements.

    At 13:11, when somebody asks about the bishop, they don’t mean moving to where you put the queen. The mean going up two spaces and back in time two turns.

    An easier way to visualize moves between the past or timelines is by creating a plane along the timeline axis and kinda make like a new chess board but perpendicular and intersecting all of past boards.
    Also u can instead think of each piece being in a 3d box instead of a 2d one, that way all of the boxes on the present board and the past boards are connected and then you can imagine the piece moving freely in 3 dimensions

  • @firestorm8265
    @firestorm8265 2 года назад +1

    Another way to counter a check in the past is to send a piece far beyond the time where the check happens and win before that check becomes the present.

  • @vhox1634
    @vhox1634 3 года назад

    I only understand in this situation (8:40) that going back in time doesn't return you to past but you just branch out to another timeline thus making a timeline split. Added with the fact that interfering in another timeline doesn't change the future but only deviates you to another timeline thus making another split

    13:11 But you could have done with a unicorn. Unicorns move the same distance in exactly three dimensions (so exactly one dimension must remain unchanged during that). A dragon however could not have done it, because they have to move the same distance in all four dimensions.

    All pieces are white or black square pieces, because the board is a square and you can only move from your own turn to your own turn, which is a board in your color in the game

    One of the Tricky Checkmates shows a checkmate by check and stale: while the king can take the checking piece, doing so leaves him with no legal move to pass the other dimension's time so that The Present moves to the other player. It's a cool situation to think about.

    What helped me a lot, was just stacking the boards on top of one another, and then imagining it as a 3d board. On that all the pieces move like in normal chess, just on a 3D board. With the exception of Queens and kings, which got new moves by moving through the corners of the cube

    If you want to show how you did a checkmate with a clear visualization, after showing the checkmate move you can click the « checkmater » pawn and click on the popup buttons to show historical or parallel views.
    This automatically hides black boards and present your boards in a « 3D » way that makes sense
