Whenever I play this game (or technically the original, Laser Khet), I find it more fun to play for victory a move in advance. Similar to how, in Chess, the goal is to checkmate the opposing king so they cannot escape, rather than actually capture them; in Laser Chess, the goal (as I play it) is to make it so that, regardless of what move the opponent plays, either they will capture their own king on their turn or you will capture it on your next immediate turn. If someone blunders and allows you to shoot their king, they undo that move and have to move again.
@@astraesl9547 Part of it is that it makes it so a single blunder allowing the opponent to shoot your king doesn’t end the game instantly. But it really isn’t that bad at all!
I think it would be great if all these games on this channel had a corresponding computer AI that could play itself and create its own database of played games. Also, if the AI was self learning and became stronger in doing so, it would then also be a challenging opponent for human players.
First thought is that the starting position could be part of the game; the red-black player places a piece first, the blue-white player mirrors it and places a piece of their own, and so on until all pieces are placed.
@@androkguz You see they meant that the blue player has to mirror what the red player did and then would place another but I guess the original person meant that red also had to mirror and then place another piece.
Back in my day it was called Keth- the laser game. I had to import it from the US and it was kinda wonky. More than 2 mirrors and the laser might have missed the target token. Also kinda weak, you basically had to play in the dark. But it was so cool, especially with the 3D expansion tower (even more mirrors (2 alone for up or down) and longer paths. I wish there was a high precision version with a high power green laser
Idk what it was called but it sounds like the version I played. The laser was so weak it never made it past the first few pieces and the game was near impossible to play.
i remember i made a game that was called endgame chess the rules are the same except for the following changes 1 - Checkmate, stalemate and check, are all disabled 2 - The king is invincible i.e. he can not be killed till he is the last piece left 3 - Queen should not be killed nor can move from its place till its only king and queen left in both of the sides 4 - its regular chess till all of the pieces are removed from the game (except king and queen) 5 - When its just these two, there will be a 2v2 (queen and king vs queen and king) 6 - The Queen can kill the king but the queen will be able to move only 3 steps at a time. 7 - if both queens are dead, the kings can move anywhere on the map as long as it is only 2 steps 8 - if one of the king revolves all around the board. the king can revive the queen 9 - when one of the king is killed, half of the game ends. 10 - one of the sides win, the game will be a queen vs queen till the queen wins, the queen can move anywhere but only 5 steps. The main point of this game is it is made for those people who always win and are looking for a challenge the game will last for 1 or 1 and a half hours.
if only it had a beam splitter expansion just like Khet which doesnt make sense tbh cuz the same creators also made a single player laser maze which DOES have beam splitters among other tokens, i have both laser chess and laser maze but the tokens arent cross-compatible
What if you do a formation like this Switch Defender Switch Defender King Defender Deflector Defender Deflector Orientation:the mirror (or shield )pointing away from the king
House Rules: The laser can be swapped or moved like any other piece. Each piece has movement rules, and these movement rules can be used to capture pieces. Your king and your laser can both be checked, and you lose if you are checkmated, meaning one or both of them are threatened, and no matter what you do, you will lose one of them on the next turn.
This game looks good, but also i can't see the fact that a player could kill its own king like: 2 guys are playing with total caution, just for one of them to forget to rotate a pice and ending up killing his own king

@@notchmath9642
I see. I should try that once I get that game
I think I prefer the normal rules rather than that, but that's worth reading although don't really like it
And then theres me who just makes a fortress every game and makes it impossible to kill my king
When you guys finish showing us how to play can you play a quick match? That would be interesting
I would watch that
I also want a match
this guy is acting like a npc i dont think he has enough emotions to actually play the game, but would be fun to watch

This channel is when the davs wont update the game so you download mods.
Yeah lol
So true
What about chess 2 aka chessplus?
Devs*
KSP players be like:
"In 21 century, people will play laser chess."
21 century:
Star chess: laser awakens
I like this lack of irony

I mean- they aren’t wrong

I really just watched this whole thing having absolutely no signal of obtaining this game ever.
Thanks for the support!
Hello photon bee

Same
First thought is that the starting position could be part of the game; the red-black player places a piece first, the blue-white player mirrors it and places a piece of their own, and so on until all pieces are placed.
The blue-white player will run out of pieces way before the red-black player though. How do you account for that?
@@Utreon They don't have the same number of pieces?
@@androkguz they do I think
@@androkguz You see they meant that the blue player has to mirror what the red player did and then would place another but I guess the original person meant that red also had to mirror and then place another piece.
Me: the rules are the same as regular chess, except with these changes
“The object of the game is to-“
Me: wtf
One of the few exceptions among the chess-inspired games.
I'd hardly even call this chess!
As a laser, I can confirm this is how we play chess.
You guys always make light of things.
HAHAHA😂😂😂😂😂

It was khet. And laser cannot pass the medical safety test in that way.
When Electrical engineers wanted to play chess :
Incidentally a similar laser chess game was involved in a patent infringement lawsuit; that game was invented by mechanical engineers ;)
haha good joke lol
I personally think this is the most unique chess game
we need a madlad to make a way to play this with normal chess pieces and board
The main issue is defining angles for the mirrors with regular chess pieces in a clear and concise way.
Isn't this the exact same thing as Khet? That was one of my favorites growing up.
Yes they rebranded it
Wait, how old are you?
It's because you can't have played it that long ago. You're obviously like a few thousand or something lmao
@@davidvelasco4423 do you even know what Khet is?
... No.
2:50
Considering the mirrors can only go 45 degrees, meaning the laser can only turn at right angles, I would think it'd be easy enough to follow.
90?
This feels like a set you would get from one of those educational places in 2008
I think it was. That's how I first played it like 10 years ago in "gifted" class.
this is a game more confusing than chess and all of the things you can do in it
Lol we are thinking this cuz we already know how to play chess this is easy to understand not that hard
Wait until you try 5d chess
@@darkdyna5710 mirrors are scary dude!
Thats why this is fun!
My friends son is turning 9 next week he wanted this game.
Bought it at local specialty toy shop.
Cool explanation of the game!
Watching triple s games break rules for understanding them for footage use is crazy.
I like how I'm learning how to play laser chess meanwhile i don't even know how to play normal chess
Imagine accidentally firing a laser at your own King, that’ll hurt
Yeah that would hurt
I'm pretty sure I saw a suggestion for this in the previous video
This seems very similar to a game called Khet, which is interesting.
I’m pretty sure it’s by the same people making this the third version of laser chess by them.
i remember i made a game that was called endgame chess
the rules are the same except for the following changes
1 - Checkmate, stalemate and check, are all disabled
2 - The king is invincible i.e. he can not be killed till he is the last piece left
3 - Queen should not be killed nor can move from its place till its only king and queen left in both of the sides
4 - its regular chess till all of the pieces are removed from the game (except king and queen)
5 - When its just these two, there will be a 2v2 (queen and king vs queen and king)
6 - The Queen can kill the king but the queen will be able to move only 3 steps at a time.
7 - if both queens are dead, the kings can move anywhere on the map as long as it is only 2 steps
8 - if one of the king revolves all around the board. the king can revive the queen
9 - when one of the king is killed, half of the game ends.
10 - one of the sides win, the game will be a queen vs queen till the queen wins, the queen can move anywhere but only 5 steps.
The main point of this game is
it is made for those people who always win and are looking for a challenge
the game will last for 1 or 1 and a half hours.
This was the first video I saw of this guy, and I’ve been watching every since
finally, a game of chess I can understand
if only it had a beam splitter expansion just like Khet which doesnt make sense tbh cuz the same creators also made a single player laser maze which DOES have beam splitters among other tokens, i have both laser chess and laser maze but the tokens arent cross-compatible
I just bought it. It's awesome
What if you do a formation like this
Switch Defender Switch
Defender King Defender
Deflector Defender Deflector
Orientation:the mirror (or shield )pointing away from the king
Nice job Jim, now who's gonna the play too?
Imagine if he started the video by saying “The rules are the same as regular Chess, except for these changes.”.
I need this
Bro has all the Chess mods installed.
With FRICKIN LASER BEAMS
House Rules: The laser can be swapped or moved like any other piece.
Each piece has movement rules, and these movement rules can be used to capture pieces.
Your king and your laser can both be checked, and you lose if you are checkmated, meaning one or both of them are threatened, and no matter what you do, you will lose one of them on the next turn.
I love this game so much!
"The object of the game is to hit your opponent's King with a laser" sounds kinda funny out of context that this is LASER not normal Chess
just watched a 5 second ad. triple s games is going full vat19. can you make the "rock me archimedes" or the one with the seasaw?
Finally, chess with guns
Isnt this Khet?
Can we use opponents deflector or switch to reflect the laser?
Definitely, and it's highly recommended!
Thank god they made an update
Many chess gm are waiting for this
Normal chess player looking at this: WHAT IS THIS ABOMINATION OF CHESS

I need to play this one.
what if the laser points at itself or it's king?
The laser can't be destroyed and the king will die no matter which laser hit him
The chess update we wanted
5d Lazer chess with multiversal time travel
there are so many versions of chess its becoming insane
My first time seeing the version of chess amazing
This looks awesome. I want to try this. Don't know if I could find someone to play with, though.
lasers
Hello I want to know about the website of playing this game online? Please tell me.
Chess has advanced into the age of technologie.
Laser chess may be awesome at all but theres no beam splitter expansion. Khet 2.0 has an expansion beam splitter the eyes of Horus but not laser maze
Can I make a suggestion, "Risk Deep Space" edition by Hasbro gaming
I’ll look into it
New skill unlocked 😌
lasers can rotate and then you can move a piece in the same move. I know as i have a set myself and have read the rules
This the first video I fully understood everything
I WANT THIS GAMEEEE
I was fully expecting either "The rules are the same as regular chess, except with these changes" OR "The rules are nothing like regular chess"
This is like a fan-made Chess 2
Nahhh is a mod for chess 1
Chess season 2
Looks groovy!
I can memorise this tutorial without forgetting stuff
That's awesome!
Amazing game
Quite an interesting game
how to buy this ???????????????
Every sixty seconds, a new chess variant is made
I actually got an ad of this
When the chess devs don’t update the game in a century so you download mods made by the community
Please make a video on how to play monopoly deluxe version.
gotta say this a cool way to play chess
How many incarnations of Chess are we gonna see on here?
Yes
I don’t get the stalemate condition. I just see you switching laser orientation. I thought you can move a piece each turn.

What is the age for this?
I have this game. I suck at chess. When it comes to this game I’m 30 steps ahead
When you create a completely different game and just use the name chess for brand recognition.
Now Imagine...5d multidimensional time travel laser chess...
this looks like laser maze except someone added chess for no reason
I need this chess, I am state level chess player but I need this one
I love watching videos about topics im not interested in or slightly interested
This game looks good, but also i can't see the fact that a player could kill its own king like:
2 guys are playing with total caution, just for one of them to forget to rotate a pice and ending up killing his own king
well this kinds explains why we don't need chess 2
Lazerbeam must play this game...
