Again, sorry for the occasional background fan in this one. I also wanted to say thank you for everyone that's been watching so far, I love this game and can promise you will see a lot more of it!
What might be the most proximal/late defence for black to stave off defeat at that final move? I think it is at least 2 moves back. If on the previous turn they move their queen, then they can pre-emptively travel back in time to before your turn where you timetravel to deliver checkmate. This will be an inactive black timeline, but it will *become* active if you try to deliver the checkmate. You then have the choice of: * Insisting, and trying to survive in a timeline where you're a queen down, until the present catches up to your checkmate, * Resisting, since if you never make another timeline, then black has thrown away their queen in order to defend against the hypothetical past threat you posed that turn. I think at least one (if not both) of those choices will win, so this line seems to only slow down white's victory, and a genuine defence has to be found at some other point.
"If on the previous turn they move their queen, then they can pre-emptively travel back in time to before your turn where you timetravel to deliver checkmate." You have no idea how BONKERS that sentence sounds.
@@JohnTK Reading it back now, 11 months after I wrote it, I must admit that I have no idea what I'm talking about. I know it made sense at the time (ha) but I'd need to review the game to have a chance of understanding my own analysis here!
@@Moley1Moleo Now, a year later, again. That move would only buy you time until the other board return to the "present" time, and the move is made once again to the queenless board. In that regard, he would have to use that borrowed time to block or prevent the queen on the parallel axis of the present once the present (of that board) arises.
I only learned the rules of 5d chess yesterday, so this might be wrong ... but it seems like the queen move at 20:05 was a mistake. Wouldn't the queen on H5 have put the black king in check in 3 moves, just by staying there instead of moving? Ie, by attacking 3 moves past, 3 squares left, 3 squares up? And the white bishop blocks the only squares the king could escape to, including squares in the past.
In principle it would be, yes! Here however, the f7 pawn is blocking the queens path to the king as she cannot traverse through it (the path would end after 2 moves back and the pawn would block)
@@SexyLexi I think pawns can capture backwards in time if they go to a parallel board. A pawn on c4 can capture an opposing piece that's on c4 1 parallel board above and 1 board (on your turn) in the past. I think that applies to the pawn on e5 in this video too.

This game must be extremely fucking difficult if my guy is struggling on the third move
Least confusing game of 5D chess ever played
This game is the definition of 300 iq plays.

At 13:37 could not pawn in the Future take the side-Queen in the present? (literally the same one which the Queen took in the past.)
I think you're right, nice catch!

@@SexyLexi Oh, yes. I see that now.
Don’t know Wtf is going on. I’m invested tho

Is there a link to the tournament bracket?
challonge.com/uf8ru880 just a small community hosted tourney, but there may be more in the future!
@@SexyLexi Hey you won! Congrats!
my brain hurts
Isn't taking on f7 2 turns ago with the queen at 7:05 checkmate?
knight defends that sq
12:27 Couldn't the pawn of e5 in the original timeline take the queen on e5 in the second timeline by going 1 timeline up and 1 turn backwards?
nice idea, but pawns can only capture forward in time!
@@SexyLexi No, I'm pretty certain they can capture backwards in time too. I just tested in a game.
