How to play MegaChess

So there's , there's the blunder , we can take the knights or we can take here and bring this rook over and line up this way .

Uh Both are probably really good , but which one is better ?

I mean , it's hard to argue with taking a , a piece .

So I guess I'll just take the piece , although this was also a very strong move .

All right .

And I'm gonna bring this rook over .

The point is I , I want to put pressure on the king .

It pins the pawn so that it's no longer defending these guys .

So they become targets for me .

And it's just a nice square for the rook to sit on controls .

All these central squares .

All right .

So she's gonna go for that .

I'm not really worried about that .

I think we have a lot more uh important things here .

So the question is which pawn do I want to take ?

Both of these are no longer defended , like I mentioned because of the pin on the king .

So this one looks pretty good .

Potentially just lining up there .

I think I'll just go for that one .

OK ?

And she does castle .

Pawns are still allowed their initial double step move option .

But with the added benefit that they may combine any two movement for both steps , either moving two in one direction or one space in two directions , but they can't move diagonally .

Pawns may not combine a capture with a movement for their double step .

Move on Paan is allowed like normal .

If at least one of the spaces past is capturing pawns promote when they reach the back row starting space of either opponent's higher rank pieces .

The rear rank starting empty spaces do not allow for a promotion .

Castling is allowed like normal to castle on the diagonals , move your king two spaces towards the rook along the outside edge of the board .

Then move the rook to the opposite side of the king .

Checkmate is considered pending until the checkmated player has their next turn .

And that's another big mistake .

So we'll take that black is in trouble now .

Ok ?

So we're gonna take here , let's go ahead and see .

I think we can just bring the night in for checkmate .

Think this is probably the easiest thing to do .

Yeah .

OK .

There we go .

All right .

So right now this Megan but is uh 1050 .

But like I said , from what I've seen , uh who knows how long that's going to last .

So if you haven't beat this butt and you want to get the three stars I'm gonna say now is the time to do it because yeah , I mean , I don't know , I wouldn't be surprised if this thing's like rated 3500 in a couple of days or weeks or whatever .

Let me know your thoughts or if you know something that's going on , uh , that I don't know about .

They may not move but they may be captured like normal by the remaining players .

If you reach a stalemate at any point in the game by any single player , then the entire game ends in a draw for all three players even if one of them had been eliminated earlier .
