Bear in mind the pathing of pieces means for example that a rook on the inside on the opponents field can strike the back line of you pieces. This puts both in the bishop/knight lanes
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. I thought that infinite chess would be a board infinitely large. Call it figure8 chess instead.

@@Fank009 I don't see how this causes stalemates, but if you meant draw by threefold repetition, then maybe, but it doesn't allow a player to completely force a threefold, as after your move, the position is reached 2 times, and it's only a threefold if your opponent does the same thing
No because until you remove the hand from the piece it is still on that square Edit: in chess when you touch a piece you must move it in another square, in this case the loop would take the rook on his original square where it's still staying therefore it's not possible
@@notawaffle3310 You would be correct. "Beyond chess" allows for 64 "free floating" pieces. A move consists of BOTH a movement of a piece and a square. The only move that can break that structure is "ferrying" a pawn with your space movement, which would also account for your piece movement as well. Spaces must be attached to another space through any of it's sides (i.e. you can't make islands), and pieces cannot be on any space that you intend to move, outside of the aforementioned ferrying move. .
OK, so it's normal chess except with you can swap two squares and basically make a portal between them. If you send a rook onto and past a square that's been swapped, it teleports onto the other swapped square and continues the same direction it was going before.
Lmao I really thought for a second you were gonna literally describe the concept of infinite chess in terms of an unbound chessboard, nice video as always!
For those asking about knight movement, it's the same as in regular chess. The only thing to consider is jumping gaps on the board which was clarified in the video at 1:03.
@@SikerScrapyard Yes, but there's four such directions. I'm pretty sure the backwards one is not a legal move. I'm not sure about the two sideways directions.
@@gernottiefenbrunner172 Can it capture upwards if that takes it towards its own loop instead of the opponents? for instance, white pawns only attack "upwards" if they are on the bottom most black middle piece, or anywhere along that vertical line, or to the right of it? Because otherwise they'd be heading towards their own loop?
My housemate was looking over my shoulder as I watched this. At 2:02 when you showed the diagram of a rook moving in a limitless figure 8, we burst out laughing at how ridiculous that looked. (Ridiculous in a good way - I've played a fair chunk of that 5d Chess with Multiverse Timetravel, so I revel in that sort of nonsense, but we still found that bit really funny.)
For those asking about en passant, a valid and easy rule could simply be "En passant is only allowed if the attacking pawn moves from inside the center grid into the opposing side's curved grid". Edit: add on " and ends up behind the pawn that it captured." Just considering the corner cases.
This is an amazing variant of chess, but you can replace it by simply make a 4×22 tablet and when you go to the the other bound you go back to the oposite one It is still being the best chess i ever seen
The rooks move laterally, so they can actually hit the king and queen simply by removing 2 pawns. There are many ways to set up such a trap against unsuspecting victims. Castling like that may be useful in other ways, but honestly, I can't tell cuz I've only played normal chess.
i've just realized that the rooks immediatelly have eyes on the enemy king and queen as soon as the games starts, only thing between them are the pawns
Round chess boards are always a nightmare to work with, because you need to be a physicist who can calculate a trajectory while listening to a chess clock breathe down your neck.
0:32 I have some trouble understanding this section of this video. Exactly do you mean by "White uses the spaces up from the centre"? Can't both players use all the spaces on the board? How is this relevant?
nah, pretty sure the pawn movement is pretty different as they can change directions in the center grid. Furthermore, normal chess is an 8x8 board, so 64 spaces. This has 28 on each ends and 16 in the center, so 72 spaces total. Lastly, the rooks are protecting each other from the start, something that isn't present in normal chess. There are some clear differences.
Is the black queen, or any queen or bishop on its starting space, allowed to loop around and end up back where it started, effectively passing the turn?
Ah yes the castle, the move in chess that puts your king in the front and your rook safe in the back.
Exactly
Nice
Bear in mind the pathing of pieces means for example that a rook on the inside on the opponents field can strike the back line of you pieces. This puts both in the bishop/knight lanes
Literal "king's gambit"
In German it's rochade or rochierieren
One flaw, I'm gonna piss of my friends by infinitely going around the board with a rook as I die of exaustion
Lmao
nice

Call it figure8 chess instead.
Im gonna do the same
The 666 likes you currently have are perfect for a spawn of Satan such as yourself. 🤣
"All other rules are the same"
En passant gonna be extra fun on this board
Pawn has become a fucking threat
I see a fellow anarchist here
Lol I was thinking of that
It's gonna be the reason friendships end.
Seriously. The only piece that needed any clarification was th pawn and we didn't get any.
Best chess variant ever. The explanation of bishop's moves is universal for any board shape and structure.

@@dariuscahyadi9607 it's just you
If there is a fully unoccupied loop, can you "skip" your turn by having a rook go all the way around the loop and land back on the square it started?
Really don't know but if we want to keep it simple let's say no for the sake of simplicity
wouldn't this just bring the stalemate condition in sooner?

Soon enough
Chess update: a game of chess where you can move both pieces and squares
I’ll look into it… ;)
TBH sounds awesome.
I think I have seen something like this
If I recall its called beyond chess

How do pawn captures within the center grid?
Only if it is on a diagonal?
i guess any diagonal that makes you move towards the enemy's either loops, regardless of top or bottom
Practically the center grid is like a normal chess board so just captures diagonally, to the enemy's side
@@HNBGamer thing is, there's not two, but either one or three diagonals "towards" the enemy's side

Chess is like the IRL version of Ghost from Beat Saber, people just keep making it harder
Castling might be the worst thing ever
I watch all your videos. Keep it up🙂
Thank you so much for the support!
As if loosing in normal chess was not enough, now my loose streak…
*…goes infinite*
Still waiting for a version of chess where the rules are NOT the same as regular chess, except for these rules.
Shogi.
En passant would be wacky
Finally. I can use my infinite rotation even in chess
VERGIL!?
This is really cool! I love Chess variations, there’s so much you can do with the game.
I don’t even know how to play chess wtf am I doing here
Can I help with that
What a great simple how to video. No bullshit, no fluff. Just here's the game you wanna know the rules to
“When do we get to the other side of the board?”
“There is no other side of the board!”
THIS IS THE BEST RUclipsR CAHNNEL IM LEARNING SO MUCH
How do you enpassan ?
the same way you would regularly
somebody show this to hikaru
I was thinking “good luck promoting a pawn there” but they really thought about everything

Why 22? I think 4 x 18 should be good enough.
someday we're gonna get a chess variant that's like a deck building card game
It exists, it's great, and I have it. It's called "For the Crown", published by Victory Point games.
2:07 why would you ever want to castle like ever?????

chess: complicated
infinite chess: let's make it more complicated
This is starting to get crazier and crazier! Each chess vid changes so much to the point where theres gonna be 4d chess tutorial!

I can not wait to play 5 dimensional infinite chess with multiverse time travel
Can't wait for the clover-shaped board
How do I en passant in this version
I dont get it ima just gonna focus on normal chest instead
Can't wait to en passant here
i've just realized that the rooks immediatelly have eyes on the enemy king and queen as soon as the games starts, only thing between them are the pawns
Surprisingly this is only the 3rd weirdest version I’ve seen this month 1st being 5d chess and 2nd 3 player chess
Can you move your rook in a continuous loop around the board and end in it's starting position?
Finally! one chess update
How do the knights work
The video hasn’t started and I’m already having a mental breakdown
4 men chess pls.
Finally chess got an update too
rooks can be quite destructive, but bishops can surprise u at any moment, knights should be ignored or it would hurt ur brain to think about it
We finally got a chess update boys

This makes No sense but it makes sense
Rook got a really big buff in this variant
I cant bother any chess game with not every single tile atleast a square or a rentangle
You forgot something
"You are not allowed to make an infinite move"
the king:
if i can't protect my rook , why should he protect me !
If a bishop can change directions if it hits a wall
Doesn't that mean the previous demonstration was completely valid anyway
Normal people: 4D chess
Me: *INFINITY CHESS*
1:58 i though you were gonna say that pieces can move through the gaps like some sort of chess portal
Hey guys, you wanna play chess?
"Oh heck yeah!"
*pulls out infinity board*
*"tf is this"*
Bishop can just spin and that’s cool
this is the chess update we’ve all waited for
Take a shot every time you get confused and place your piece in the wrong square

what about knight?
It is just 2 kings on opposite sides of the board

Should’ve been Called “Infini-Chess”

ayyo new chess update they gave the rook some funky ahh movement

No

Knight is addressed in the description :D
I love this and hate this at the same time.
my reaction to that information
So center board pawns can capture on 3 squares then?
All I did was scroll on my recommendation and saw this ungodly thing
Now add the multifimensional time travel
