I was playing a game against a human opponent online, and at one point they sent a queen back in time from one of the ten timelines currently in play to put five of my past kings into check at once. I sent one of my own pieces even further back to stall, and they proceeded to send one of their queens back to the start of the game to try and beat me before I even got to that point. I was able to maneuver one of my bishops in the second-most divergent timeline into position to capture the queen in the alternate present once we got back to that point and save the game (I eventually won by checkmating their king 5 turns in the past)

This is an ACTUAL DESCRIPTION of an ACTUAL GAME, see: https://i.imgur.com/EgkiheE.png

If you have no idea what I just wrote, I hardly do either, this game makes my head hurt and yet eventually your mind's eye is opened to the cosmic structure of the universe -

or you just go insane

10/10

Perfect for chess novices, because even if you play against an expert, they're just as confused as you are.

It only took us 500 years, but we finally have Chess 2

what

Got checkmated in 3 different timelines.

10/10

The key is to attack the king.
Not in the present, but in the past.
And not just in the past, but you need to attack the king's past.
... from the future.
Send your queen backwards through time like the terminator out to assassinate John Connor.
But wait! Your opponent has sent their knight across an alternate timeline to foil your plans!
Crush his hopes by sending your queen back again through time!
Now you have three queens and your bishop doesn't know he's about to be squashed by a rook three moves in the future!
In your original timeline, three pieces just vanish into thin air and you won two turns ago.

It makes sense after your head stops hurting.

11/10 wtf

I can now checkmate you in the past, in the present, and in parallel universes all at once, and neither of us will understand why.

I have no idea what happened and somehow got checkmated in past, present and future in 5 different dimensions at the same time (or idk if its the same time, i dont even know what time is anymore). It's horrifying. I'm not even sure if i am typing in the present timeline right now.

i turned one pawn into a queen and caused checkmates in 5 alternate timelines casually winning me that game
it was not on purpose and wholly undeserved

I'm a physics undergrad and this game will be my PhD dissertation
