Legal moves only please

Legal moves only please.

the chess game in Gankutsuo also made me cringe.

Props to GJ-bu and NGNL for putting a real checkmate problems into the show.

wtf

Is a double checkmate actually possible from legal moves?

Chess in fiction is almost always infuriatingly wrong.

It's like playing basketball with cleats and bats.

no

yeah, it's really strange. Even if they don't know how to set up a game for the screen they could at least mimic famous pro games from the past

If the attacking player moved a piece that was blocking his other pieces, then he could be in double check.

Checkmate is by definition, the end of a game.

I'm pretty sure that meant the fact that in both players are in checkmate.

No. Since you can't put your own king in check and you can't finish a turn with your own king still in check(you must respond if you can), there is no way for both kings to be in check at the same time.

Oh.

This is why I instinctively avoid looking at the board in works of fiction.

Well it "can" happen if the opponent is brain dead and doesn't notice the check.

I mean, we're talking about what's legal and not legal here. Tons of things can happen depending on what you don't notice and how wasted you are, etc.

Anyone has the Starcraft 2 one?

I'm pretty sure this one was meant as a parody tho

How do I get into chess?

Is this real?

I still don't get why people were so booty blasted about this, it was explicitly metaphorical.

Because the symbolism was obviousm and not smart. The game had actual stakes, which were ruined by just ignoring the rules.

Play against master level computer AI and keep getting obliterated until you realize some of its patterns

>I don't know why people get so upset he slam dunked his home run, it was explicitly metaphorical
There were far better ways to show what he was trying to accomplish without making either of them look like complete idiots. More importantly, nobody in the room noticed that it was bullshit.

It's symptomatic of CG as a whole: the writers thinks they're smarter than they actually are.

Ignoring the double checkmate the piece placement is completely retarded

Pretty sure it was commie or gg.

get good, then go to a local kids tournment that has an open division and rekt some scrubs

I guess Imanitys/Fugels doesn't know how to play Chess properly.
Also rule 8.

memorize the meme openings and win 80% of the time

it's a joke

Guilty Crown did that though, perhaps the only thing it did better than CG

What a bunch of hugefuck pawns. And everything else, really.

I hate it

I sure miss fan subs :)
