Solving Genshin's Chess Puzzle! [Genshin Impact]



#genshinimpact
Chess is a very ooga booga of a game, and this is just a fun video because I’ve never actually tried to solve a puzzle reversely before. If you wanna try it out for yourself, ask “How do you get to the Fatui Position from the original starting position”

  1. Maybe the fact that both queens are held back is similar to Celestia holding back divine punishment until someone defies the heavenly principles. The real game the fatui is playing is trying to win without making their opponent us their queen. The question this raises is what the fatui's queen represents. Do they have a secret weapon (or forbidden knowledge) that celestia is afraid of?

  2. two thoughts i had while watching:
    -have you ever considered that black started on the top and white on the bottom of the board? what that make any more sense?
    -while you were playing, and you accidentally checkmated and reversed those turns, you forgot something that might be crucial to the problem: "checkmate is not where this game ends", yet you never continued playing after a checkmate

  3. I am no chess master but I feel like the black knight and rook in the beginning would have been able to corner white Queen. Without killing the left black rook. I think the right black rook dies.

  4. I feel like that cutscene has nothing to do with the story. It was just a marketing decision and an easy one considering how much theory craft has come from that video. I don't think they even had the story close to finished when that come out. Just ny opinion I could be wrong

  5. I'd like someone to break down the symbolism in all of this. There's so many questions we have unanswered. Who, exactly, are the opposing sides? Is it the Fatui and the Traveler's group? Or are the Fatui keeping track of others with the board? What is the goal? Were all pieces on the board before the "game?" What if there's a third player manipulating both sides, as Aster has done here? What, exactly, does all of this mean? What if the chess board is the map of Teyvat and the pieces represent something else?

    Sooo many questions.

  6. I know nothing about chess and watching this was just as confusing 😂.
    I have a theory that there are no bishops and a missing rook and knight is because the fatui don’t have the gnosis for them yet. As they said on their chess board check mate isn’t where the game ends, they still have pieces to play

  7. I will point out a thing that would convolute things beautifully: the peices represent real people [supposedly, for the most part] and while the fatui are more or less all working towards one goal with the chess master leading them, the people on 'celestia's side' are going at it seemingly alone. As such one side is working with pieces that 1; don't know their own importance or intended roles and 2; don't know about the higher purpose. As such there would be pieces eliminating their own comrades, pieces that do something that seems okay in the moment [or doesn't] but in the long run is so incredibly stupid for winning the chess game.
    Also another person pointed out the line 'the game does not end at check mate' and I can fold that in via the fact most of the pieces wouldn't realize it was check mate, cue the piece that was perfectly set to win the game… immediately going to another area entirely without doing anything productive

  8. Oh my goodness hi! I didn’t know you had a tumblr! Anyways, my name’s Eliza and I love your YouTube channel! You’re the absolute best and I don’t know if this too forward of me but I feel like we’d be great friends!! Anywho, I have been wanting to ask you for a long time because as a writer and a Genshin fan, I must get your opinion. I’m in the middle of writing a kind of crossover between Genshin and another favorite game of mine called Ikemen Vampire. I’m a big fan of Genshin Impact even though I’m still semi new but my favorite aspect is of course the Fatui. My story is about Dottore and my Oc Ileana who is the niece of the Cryo Archon. Because of Ikemen Vampire of course begin a bunch of historical figures turned vampires in 19th century Paris, it’s no surprise that my Oc is of course a historical figure turned vampire as well! I guess I was just wondering how you would feel about a story like that and if you have any tips? I know Genshin has a lot of people in the fandom who ship certain characters but I guess even though Dottore is that type of character he is, I just am dying to finish my story and share it with others? I guess I’m trying to ask what’s your take on it in general? If you need any clarification or more information I can tell you but for now, I hope this reaches you well! Have a great day!

  9. I wonder what kind of result you would get if you plugged this into a AI and had it solve the game to reach the exact same position here but with the queens and kings reversed

  10. You insisted in playing fairly and logically, thinking both sides wanted to win. But what if that's not the case, and the game was rigged from te start? Wouldn't it be the faster and easier route towards that nonsensical final position? Knight seems sus.
