  • 5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel is a fun but complex game and without an in-game tutorial it can be hard to fully understand what's happening when you're just starting out. This video is meant to explain how each piece is able to move, as well as give an introductory knowledge of interacting with the different dimensions in the game.
    I apologize for the amateur audio quality. If there is anything that I missed or you would like further explained, let me know in the comments!

    Holy shit bro thanks so much. Makes a lot of sense and it's not THAT hard to understand if explained. I'm curious though if it could become competitive. I mean... it feels a bit chaotic with SO MANY OPTIONS and ... not a clear path for a regular game

    • @mariaurum3991
      @mariaurum3991  4 года назад +40

      Really glad the explanation helped make it clearer!
      I think seeing strategies develop will be a big part of the fun for quite a while. While it's chaotic and there are a lot of options, the ability to checkmate a different dimension king or one in the past (or both!) opens up a lot of new options to close out the game somewhat more quickly. I think for now games will be a bit more chaotic, but as the game matures strategies and openings could be developed that keep the overall complexity in check. As for whether that will lead to a real competitive scene I don't know, but I really hope so!

      The aspect of chess that makes it compelling as a competitive game is that both players have all of the information available to them, and there is no chance involved. This makes it so that the game is truly a battle of wits.
      The same is true for 5D chess. The only difference is the increased complexity of the rule set, which I'm sure traditional chess fans/experts will be excited to check out for themselves.

    • @Solrex_the_Sun_King
      @Solrex_the_Sun_King 3 года назад +5

      The current meta is such that you really don’t want to branch unless necessary/you’re losing, because it opens more space for you to be blindsided, and makes you less consistent. Plus, your opponent has to make more timelines before you can make more active ones, I once lost because although I had check, it was in an inactive timeline, and that made it not a victory.

    OMG I was so dumb, I saw a game on youtube and didn't understand why did the Queen move 4 left and 8 back in time. I thought so long and couldn't understand. Now I get that Queen didn't move 8 back in time, it moved 4, it's just that you don't move throught the boards your opponent controlled. Checks in past make so much more sense now. I'm slighly less dumb now. Thanks :)

      @Vagrant202 3 года назад +2

      Uh its actually 5d. You see, 4d sees time as a straight line, a fixed destiny,and even though you can travel back in time, nothing actually happen, since your action is just putting a dot in a line. But in 5d, according to your actions in the present, numerous future can appear, creating numerous timeline. Its like 1 line in 4d can branch into multiple lines in 5d. So travelling back in time matters since you can create timelines in 5d. I hope this can clear your confusion.

If they moved like in 2D chess, going e.g. one square forward and one back in time/into the parallel dimension, or even one up into the parallel and one into the future, would all be legal captures.

    • @mariaurum3991
      @mariaurum3991  4 года назад +35

      Only 1! Checkmating any king past or present does the trick! Future gets a little weird in that you can possibly make a new timeline (from a non-checked timeline) that's back in time, shifting the present backwards and theoretically win/lose/draw before the present ever gets to the future where you were going to be checkmated. I'll try to get a video out on this soon!

If you don't have a move available (such as if it is your opponent's turn or you are trying to move into the middle of the "history" of a board and turns have already been taken after where you're going to) it will branch off to create a new timeline from the spot your piece is entering (which will be in the future as well, and may or may not be an active timeline as per the rules for active/non-active timelines)!

    Nice. Your 'axes' though.

  • @maxkho00
    @maxkho00 4 года назад

    It's important to note that, for pawns, not all combinations of axes are born equal; notably, the pawns can only capture "diagonally" (i.e. 1 square forward in exactly two dimensions) in the traditional X-Y as well as the temporal (time)-metaphysical (timeline) planes, while any other combination of dimensions, such as the Y and the temporal dimension, doesn't work (so you can't move the pawn up one square one turn in the past, for example).
    Even more importantly, the "interdimensional movement exception" isn't, in fact, an exception, as movement through solely through dimensions never creates branching timelines. What does create branching timelines is the fact that you can't change the past (or pre-determined future - more on that later) due to logical paradoxes - therefore, if you travel into a state which has already occurred in the timeline that you have travelled to, reality will branch off and create a new timeline with an alternate history, where your time-travelling piece was there from the start. This includes travelling into such futures in which it is the opponents' turn to play, as remember: the smallest temporal unit is one TURN (not one ply!), meaning the time-travelling piece can only land on the board as it was when you last made your move in that timeline - and hence reality will branch off, as you can't change already-formed timelines (which in this case equates to not being able to change the pre-determined future).

  • @michaelbauers8800
    @michaelbauers8800 3 года назад

    I understood the game right away. So I thought. I thought, ok, you are just playing multiple boards, and at any time, you can move a piece into the past, and fork the timeline. Simple. Except for a few not obvious things it's sort of that simple. (1) If at any time, a player makes a move, such that a board position is created such that any piece can capture the king, via a move into the past, you insta-win. The game rules implicitly presume that your opponent lost, because they can't change the past, and therefore can't move the king. But this is not intuitive in standard chess thinking, because you can normally, easily see that you are checkmated if you have a bit of experience in the game. On the other hand, with 5D chess, you can easily fail to realize that you checkmated your opponent. So it feels kind of cheaty when you win without realizing your move was going to be a win. (2) It's not immediately obvious, but in a way, it's 3D chess. The current position is on a level of one or more 3D chess boards. Depending on the piece you move, and where, you can envision the move being made on a 3D chess board, though the number of levels might be less than 8. This also could help visualize a checkmate. You make a move, and the resultant 3D chess board "shows" the opponent's king being attacked. If your opponent can't move the king, or interpose a piece, which is ALWAYS true when the king is on a "past level" of the board, the opponent loses.

    Not sure if you ever gonna read this, but still worth a shot. 14:12, wouldn't the knight be moving 2 up in dimensions and 2 forward in time? And also, sometimes I've had a queen able to move one space up, one space right, but two spaces backwards in time (and combinations of that). Why is that?

    One last (maybe), can you travel through dimensions with, say, your queen, through a not yet born timeline? In other words, will an unborn timeline be considered as occupied or unoccupied space, for movement I mean (will it block it?)

  • @NullPxl

    @ 3:00 since the bishop is said to be able to move in any two axes, why can't the bishop also go 2 steps in y? Another example of the same question, why can't the bishop go 2 steps in x on the bottom left board (at the timestamp referenced above)? Thanks for the great video btw :D

    The pawn moving in one direction on the timeline axis seems arbitrary to me. It would make more sense to let past pawns move 1 tile into the future, and consider timeline movement "sideways".
    Edit: nevermind! I understand now that the timelines spawn on different sides depending on who creates them. So it makes sense!

      It would be literally impossible to move that way, considering that it means that you'd be moving from a board to a later board on the same timeline, which is not allowed.

    • @mariaurum3991
      @mariaurum3991  4 года назад +1

      A blue square indicates where a piece entered or left a timeline on the previous turn. If it looks like you're in checkmate but the game hasn't ended your only option might be to move a piece from a different timeline back in time to move the present backwards. This gives you time to try and win or kill the piece putting you in check before the present catches back up to that board. I touch on it in the video I just released!

      When viewing Parallels or Histories, the game will only show the board states at each point in time as opposed to the individual moves each player took. This makes it easier to visualize what you're doing since you don't have irrelevant clutter.

  • @lochlainn3561
    @lochlainn3561 3 года назад

    I know this video is a bit older by now, but shouldn't the pawn realistically be able to capture +1Y and -1T as that would be one up and on over as well? Same for capturing +1L -1X. I only think this would make sense because having it only able to move through the time and line axes OR x and y axes seems counter to the other pieces moving through a mix, which appears to suggest that all 4 axes are orthogonal and thus for a movement along 2 and only 2 any of the 2 can be picked.

  • @MrDragonorp
    @MrDragonorp 4 года назад

    you talked about inactive boards in 11:00, I dont get the count of active and inactive, before you made the pawn move there was 5 timelines, 4 active and 1 inactive, you said that if a new timeline creates more timelines for one side then another it becomes inactive, but the other player can choose to play it if he wants to, but he doesn't have.
    but there was 4 timelines al; ready, 2 for white and 1 for black? so the second black timeline should also not be active right?
    my questions are:
    •does choose to interact with inactive timeline makes it automatically active?
    •do the player that created the inactive timeline have to play that timeline?

    • @mariaurum3991
      @mariaurum3991  4 года назад

      Players can have N+1 active timelines where N is the number of timelines the opponent has. so if white has created 2 timelines, black can have up to 3 active ones before they would create an inactive timeline.
      Playing an inactive timeline does not make it active, either player can stop playing it at any point. Generally it's a bad idea to play an opponent's inactive timeline since it's giving them more options in a boardstate they specifically created for an advantage. It can rarely be useful in niche cases though like when an opponent moves their king to an inactive timeline.

  • @EBEZAplaysgames
    @EBEZAplaysgames 3 года назад

    I feel like, for pawns, it'd make more sense for the time "access" (sorry, couldn't resist 😜) to have a concept of forwards and backwards, not the timelines. They feel more left/right relative to time to me.

    • @isavenewspapers8890
      @isavenewspapers8890 Год назад

      But if you start at board A, go directly forward in time, and end up at board B, then that means that both boards are on the same timeline and that board A isn't the latest board on that timeline. You're only allowed to make moves on a board if it's the latest board on that timeline, so that means you can't make a move starting at board A at all.

    You did not mention if a pawn can move forward in the timelines then left or right on the primary X axis, or forward on the Y axis then past or future on the time axis. These seem like they would make sense given all the other pieces' abilities, and I would have expected it to be called out specifically that it wasn't possible if not.

      @mariaurum3991  4 года назад

      So this is a "special case" in that it makes sense, but doesn't work (currently). CTP has mentioned it was a "stylistic choice" and I wasn't sure if that would stay true. I've debated whether to call it out with the caveat but it was my first video and I wasn't sure the best way to do so.

      the default "top down" view shows each "move" which is only half a turn as a board. One for your move and one for your opponent's. When you look at how pieces can move through time and dimensions because you can't travel to your opponent's part of the turn it only shows the boards where it's your move, which is only half of the boards shown in the top-down view!
