Lol you are correct, realized I actually had the board set up a bit incorrectly in the editor so yes that would be possible with the position on screen, hella awk
@@Tommylmao lol, ok. In that case you probably already know that moving the black knight, followed by a checkmate on h2 wouldn't work either, right? :-) So, where was the white knight supposed to be instead?
earthbind83 looking at it closer it seems it’s in the right spot, I was looking at a similar board with the white knight on E2 instead of E3 when I was writing the script for the video but when I set up the board for the recording it was different than the one I based the script off of. Careless mistake on my part admittedly
@@Tommylmao However wouldn't the alternative move (Knight to G4 then Queen to H2) not work if the knight was on E2 instead of E3? In that case, after white plays King to F1 after that, Black can no longer checkmate by Queen H1 as white can play Knight to G1 in this case, since it was on E2 instead of E3.
bro Do you guys know there is real Snizel (sorry for wrong spelling) living on earth. Watch Vidit Gujarati Vs Hikaru in which Vidit plays king Sacrifice by mistake. But that time game stops. lol
I actually tried that strategy once. Just adding pieces to the board. My opponent said it was "illegal." But at least table girl wasn't there so I didn't need to go to the hospital.
well think about this the knight is stopping black from checmating this happens to clovis army suzaku stops a checkmate by lelouch suzaku is the knight who stoped the checkmate
For the first game if he moved his queen there, it would be check not checkmate. You've forgotten about the Nobel's knight which would have killed the queen.
The way to solve it is by putting your knight to g4 and wait for opponent to kill your knight or if he dont then you can just kill it and then you can put your queen and do checkmate
@@nobody4741 I guess another way to do it is by moving king to the right and making place for the rook to cover the queen and hence the opponent's king can't move at the moment we can have enough moves to place queen next to opponent's king
As someone who's free time has been eaten by Vtubers and Chess lately I find it hilarious your Korone video takes me straight to this agadmator vid lmao
I was re-watching this like 3 days ago and asked myself/the air in front of me if anyone had actually figured out if any of the chess in this animoo was legitimate or realistic, and then this pops up and no, I didn't watch it on youtube, so the fact that this popped up truly is pretty neat luck
4:10 Moving your king into a check or allowing it to remain in check is only illegal in international rules. Depending on the ruleset, that can be allowed, but would obviously make the player lose. For example, the US National Rules (which are the ones that are played mostly in New York, and very typically by those Chess sharks you see sitting around), the wording is that "You don't have to announce check"; "If a player makes a move that does not resolve the check, they automatically lose so long as the other player notices and declares this."; "It is okay for a player to make this statement by making an actual capture on the king." There's no real way for us to know what ruleset would be populated out in this world, especially in a world where America is no longer a dominant or relevant power, but who knows!
So, are there rulesets that allow for pieces to magically appear on the board? If you don't care about the rules, don't use it in a story and make up a non-existing game like they did in HxH, so the audience cannot go "that's bullshit", which breaks immersion. How chess was used in CG is just a testament of bad and lazy writing.
True. In this universe, there's not necessarily a FIDE. maybe the rule here is that the game ends in checkmate, stalemate or king capture. Or maybe the same rules with the intended metaphor idk
I couldn't watch Code Gueas because of the chess game in the first episode. Supposedly the scene is there to say that the players are intelligent, it does just the opposite... White is literally tied, with no counterplay and everyone in the room looks like they learned chess a week ago.
I would love to have that chess set they have in Code Geass. Very cool. I believe the the whole "king faceoff" is all symbolism just adding to the plot of the anime but we do have to keep in mind that this entire series has taken an alternate course of events. Chess itself could have evolved differently as well, meaning that the goal of the game itself might be to capture the king, not just checkmate it alone. It's just a theory could be far fetched.
Lelouch was never going to play Qg2, in the anime he played Kg3, which would be followed by Rh8 and then Qh1 checkmate. After Lelouch plays Rh8 there is actually nothing the noble can do to escape checkmate. Qg2 was never the idea.
Since the pieces look different from the usual chess pieces it's possible that the rules are completely different too, or maybe they are playing chess but with a special ruleset
I might be wrong but Soviet chess pieces design look like one in the anime ofc with slightly different but the long and pin design almost like they take the inspiration from it
What some people don't understand is that this is a dystopian era where rules and laws have changed... This version of chess they were playing could very well have rules that are different... Just a thought 🤷🏻
The writers planning these scenes be like: 1: Make it cinematic 2: include themes about the king needing to fight too 3: have it relate a lot to the story 4: make sure lelouch looks dumb to the audience but he's secretly got a plan 5: make him come back from unwinnable odds 6: make sure he doesn't give into Schneizel's intent 7 (scribbled out): hire one person who plays chess to work on the scene
This chess match can be analyzed properly. It’s ironic that lelouch a rebel who is opposing the government (going against the law) is following the rules of chess initially whilst schenizel a person of high authority in the government (follows the law) is breaking the rules in chess. Lelouch also moving his king behind the pawn symbolizes lelouchs cowardice (going behind the weakest piece in the game) as he manipulates, wears a mask and initially hides behind people like a coward. We see with his deception with the black knights.
Lelouch playing the black piece emphasizes lelouchs innocence. The black piece always plays 2nd, always plays in response to what the white piece does. Lelouch simply responding to what white does can be applied to lelouchs actions. Lelouchs actions all stem from his disownment and the death of his mother he is simply “responding” to what his father has done to him. It also surely isn’t a coincidence that the person who lelouch is respond to in this chess game is the successor to his father. Is one wrong for fighting BACK when he has the power to? would lelouch have done his actions if the death of his mother not occur?
If it was Lelouch's turn to play (for the first match), he could've simply go Ng4 if white take on Nxg4 then you go Qg2 and it's mate, if he doesn't take you go Qh2 and it's only one move before the mate
Not really white could go wknf3 for check on bk then since bkn is blocking bq she can't protect him so bkh7 or bkg6 by default then you'd have to deal with wq or wr
In the first game, I'm pretty sure Kg6 is the fastest mate. Even if white can somehow defend mate, it leads to massive material loss. -Qg2 is a blunder, due to Nxg2 -black Rh8 first before moving the king is met with white Nf5. Qxf5 allows white to go Qe1 followed by Qf1, which either offers a Queen trade or prevents black going Qh3 (and thus giving white enough time to defend mate. Kh2 is also a possibility but probably worse. If white defends, at some point black needs to play pawn captures on c6, or white will create 2 connected passed pawns. The position is probably still winning for black though. -Alternatively, if after black plays Kg6 after white plays Nf5, it probably still leads to a forced mate, but it it gives Nh4 to prolong the game (or knight back to e3 if king goes h7). Basically this is a completely winning position for black to begin with.
Qg2 is incorrect, the better move is Ng4, putting pressure on whites knight that's preventing the mate. Or the easiest option, the one lelouch played by moving the king
Actually, black can force checkmate is 4 moves max, 3 at minimum. And starting with the king is the probably best option in this scenario. Assuming that black doesn't completely fuck up, it's impossible for white to win here. Maybe when he said "you can't win this one, it's impossible, right?" he was speaking to the nobleman; that would make the most sense.
but actually, Lelouch says he "only needs 9 minutes"... which is weird to say since he can force checkmate in 4 moves, and each move has a 20 second time limit... meaning that if both of them max out their time per move, it should really be over in 7 x 20 seconds = 140 seconds.. in other words, he needs barely over 2 minutes.... I guess they decided "2 minutes" makes it seem less epic or something??
I think the interesting moral philosophy behind the Lelouch vs Schneizel scene that gets overlooked is that Schneizel poses a question to Zero, as if he's saying, "are you the type of man who would dirty your own hands with killing your enemy, or have an underling do it for you? What would you do if both options were made just as easy to you?" and then Lelouch choses neither because his enemy is weak and defenseless. both of them lost their minds.
I think I understand what went in second game. Writers used rules for japanes chess (shogi). In shogi you can (theoreticaly, rarely in practice) move kings one to another and you can return captured pieces to play.
Hey, so I know this is an older video, but I'm pretty sure that the reason Schneizel says checkmate isn't DIRECTLY because of the game. I think he's talking in reference to the fact that he could manipulate Lelouch to doing exactly what he wanted.
I wish there was a bit more attention paid to the continuity in the second game, but yeah, end of the day, the themes they were trying to set up trump the actual chess match.
2:36 This is wrong. The best movement is Ng4 putting pressure on the white knight. If the white knight captures, then Black Queen moves into g2, and it’s checkmate. If any other move is made by White after Ng4 (such as Qe1), Black must capture the White Knight regardless, surrounding the White King with the black pawn and black queen. White has two movements from then on: either capture the Black Knight with pawn or queen, or moves queen into f1, in front of the black queen (and exposed to White Knight). Both are bad movements. No matter what White does after Black Knight takes over White Knight, it will not allow White to win. In this position, the White pawn captures Black Knight in e3. Black queen finally moves into g2. Checkmate. Black is in a way better position than White. White King is too exposed. I don’t see how this was impossible to win for Lelouch. It actually was very easy. At the start, if White uses his white pawn instead and captures the black pawn in b7, just move the rook to a8. This will save you enough time to apply the rest of the strategy and checkmate him before another pawn advances against the blocking rook. Actually, this anime is way less intelligent than everyone thinks it is. It is pure entertainment. Nothing else. I still like it, though.
-I'm a noob, so I don't get why that's checkmate? Couldn't the white knight just take the queen in the second hypothetical?- Nevermind read the pinned comment Anyways, my guess was moving black knight to g4 and let it be taken by white knight and then move queen to g2. (granted this only works if knight takes knight)
I think the first: king g6, white queen c2, rook h8, white queen e4, pawn e4, white pawn g4, checkmate by queen h1 (7 moves, it can be done in much less than 9 minutes)
ye its stoopid, the writers didnt care about the chess, if they just hired a gm to help them find actually logical and interesting positions that fit in thematically with what they are trying to do im sure it wouldnt be that hard, but they just didnt care, and didnt expect anyone to actually look at the positions
I mean in the first game doesn't knight take queen? I am not that familiar with chess but if i am right isen't this just check instead of checkmate? So Lelouch doesn't win in one move?? I am kinda confused
Wow, there I thought I watched someone who actually analyzed the show. In the first position Qg2 is not checkmate. It can be taken by the knight. I really wanted to start the code grass series because of how highly praised and sophisticated it is, but as a chess player I really can't take this show seriously when even the fans are making such irrational videos
The entire chess match of the first episode is literally a forshadowing for the next episode, that white knight represents a crucial character in the story. Which is why the mistake in the video is so big.
This is forced mate in 5. If both players play perfectly. To be honest, whites position is so bad in this position that black would have to lose 9 points of material just to make it even.

Obviously he made that terrible move instead of capturing schniezels king because schniezel had the power of God and anime on his side.
2:29 that's why he didn't play queen to G2. False hope.
Is using the soundtrack a risk for copyright strike? I'm afraid this great video will be removed!
2:36 This is wrong. The best movement is Ng4 putting pressure on the white knight. If the white knight captures, then Black Queen moves into g2, and it’s checkmate. If any other move is made by White after Ng4 (such as Qe1), Black must capture the White Knight regardless, surrounding the White King with the black pawn and black queen.
White has two movements from then on: either capture the Black Knight with pawn or queen, or moves queen into f1, in front of the black queen (and exposed to White Knight). Both are bad movements.
No matter what White does after Black Knight takes over White Knight, it will not allow White to win. In this position, the White pawn captures Black Knight in e3. Black queen finally moves into g2. Checkmate. Black is in a way better position than White. White King is too exposed. I don’t see how this was impossible to win for Lelouch. It actually was very easy.
At the start, if White uses his white pawn instead and captures the black pawn in b7, just move the rook to a8. This will save you enough time to apply the rest of the strategy and checkmate him before another pawn advances against the blocking rook.
Actually, this anime is way less intelligent than everyone thinks it is. It is pure entertainment. Nothing else. I still like it, though.
In anime, chess became shogi..
Ah yes the true Kings Gambit
-I'm a noob, so I don't get why that's checkmate? Couldn't the white knight just take the queen in the second hypothetical?-
Nevermind read the pinned comment
Anyways, my guess was moving black knight to g4 and let it be taken by white knight and then move queen to g2. (granted this only works if knight takes knight)
I think the first: king g6, white queen c2, rook h8, white queen e4, pawn e4, white pawn g4, checkmate by queen h1 (7 moves, it can be done in much less than 9 minutes)
I like how you said the table girl for nina

watch me play chess like an anime
You really think you can lose against me?!
Cant the white knight take the queen in that pos?U overlooked that there
Yep, pinned comment thread talks about this
@@Tommylmao oh i am sorry i didnt see it.My bad.
Dex Uchiha all good
bruh lelouch started with black king against noble man lol
you lose queen if you go Qg2+ because of the knight.
I mean in the first game doesn't knight take queen? I am not that familiar with chess but if i am right isen't this just check instead of checkmate? So Lelouch doesn't win in one move?? I am kinda confused
how about ng4? if takes qg2 mate and if doesnt take qh2 kf1 qh1 mate
Wow, there I thought I watched someone who actually analyzed the show. In the first position Qg2 is not checkmate. It can be taken by the knight. I really wanted to start the code grass series because of how highly praised and sophisticated it is, but as a chess player I really can't take this show seriously when even the fans are making such irrational videos
By the way, white is up 3 pawns and a knight, not a rook in the second position
Not gonna lie dude you sound like a massive dork lol
The entire chess match of the first episode is literally a forshadowing for the next episode, that white knight represents a crucial character in the story. Which is why the mistake in the video is so big.
@@Tommylmao instead of calling me a massive dork, you should get your facts straight
@@suncanny1418 thx for explaining
maybe chess has different rules in the show
og bongcloud
i was curious what your rating is if you don't mind saying
I came to take inspirations , what th did i watch ...
3 fold repetition is not a stalemate
Not gonna lie it's pretty embarrassing you made, watched, edited and posted this whole video without seeing that simple backwards knight move.
yeah that's what I was thinking too! lmfao.. I'm not even good at chess and I saw that in 2 seconds or less.
I guess the channel owner is a bit arrogant like the noblemen lol
The white knight can get the queen bro
This is forced mate in 5. If both players play perfectly.
To be honest, whites position is so bad in this position that black would have to lose 9 points of material just to make it even.
Lol Schneider should have played knight to e4
2:11 how is Queen to G2 a checkmate? White's knight can just capture the queen. Am I missing something?????? Queen to G2 is a HORRIBLE move lol.
Why wouldn't the Knight take the Queen at 2:14?
