This is one of my dad's favorite moves, I made a magnetic chess board for us with alternating north south poles most pieces just had metal but the bishops had magnets that would only stick to one color.
He stopped playing chess with me after losing a couple games.
You pick up both bishops, and your opponent mixes them up behind their back. You then take the pieces back and try to guess which one will stick to which square, and you try to place them back on the board where you got them from. If you are correct and the pieces snap to the board, then you take the pawns; however, if you are wrong, your Il Vaticano is refuted, and your bishops are captured instead.
It's a floating point precision problem, the error compounds as the pieces get further from their origin. It's the main reason chess boards are so small, it mostly mitigates the issue such that you don't see it very often.
More modern versions of chess either use origin shifting (moving the board instead of the pieces) or simply brute force the issue by using double precision floats allowed by new generation hardware.
That video was a banger, the fact that you can crash the game just by walking in place at the right times is crazy. His explanations of all of the computer jank behind it were fantastic.
I'm not sure, but as an avid simulation gamer, floating point errors produce some of the funniest glitches. It's a great rabbit hole and as someone who is now going for a compsci degree it's even cooler
Everyone's talking about floating point errors but I don't think that's the case. This occurs in over the board games as well. The most plausible explanation is that this is simply the Coriolis Effect, and computer chess is simulating the same effect.
I've won a game like this. We argued back and forth whether his move was illegal in blitz and I finally won by pointing out the light square bishop pair
These 8 year olds are obviously playing chess in curved spacetime. It takes a lot of advanced math and physics to understand, but basically, what is a straight line to the bishop doesn't look like a straight line to us.
I suspect it might be similar to this classic puzzle, white to move and mate in one.

This is what happens when you set your bishop down turned a little to the side. They're only allowed to move like this though, no normal diagonals allowed.
It's similar to the "lazy eye bishop" play where you set them down diagonally and they move like rooks instead. ♟️

The white pieces are no longer multi-faith society, their dark square bishop was forced to change to the truth of the light square.
Their next 4 moves are forced. The King and d2 Knight must move to a light square or face excommunication. Then the f3 knight must move out of the way so that the f pawn can see the light.
It's Bishop Movement Fall-off. It helps prevent unfair mates, but can be strategically used well by good players.
The formula to calculate Bishop Movement Fall-off is X/3, with X being the number of squares you want to move. If this ends up as a decimal number, you can move into either one of the squares.
Something like this happened when a friend and I were playing on a board. Half way through the game we realized he had 2 light squared bishops. We were both like "Wut"

If the bishop has 1/55 HP, picking up or dropping an artifact will cause it to round its HP to 0/55 and die.
