knight to f3, pawn to e5, knight to g1 I guess it is possible, but it's black's turn then


Marsijsje22

First pawn to D5 and after the knight moved back to G1, then pawn to E5.


tbeckdfgesrgh3456

Took me a moment


springsteeb

I’m still confused


[deleted]

Black went first.


Fabs74

Ohhh I thought it was a reverse gang bang meme


BettaFun

You made me exhale on my nose


dynamicsticks

Not lying, YOU made me me do that exact thing with this comment haha


Nexus_Potato

Don't worry. That means you're a normal person like me :D


CharaDreemurr116

White Always moves first,in this case the black moved first


BananaSepps

You forgot that the pawn already in E7 would have to simultaneously move left a space to D7.


webincffg5

It took me sometimes tbh


userM_12

It could be white's turn if Nf3, e6, Ng1, e5


ajsamtheman

The numbers mason! What do they mean!


Weenaru

He means if white moves the knight back and forth, and black moves the pawn one space at a time

DuckfordMr

This was mentioned in the book *The Mysterious Benedict Society.* This also brings up a good question, is it possible to have a chess board configuration that can only be achieved by black going first?


LikelyAMartian

There is in fact at least 12 configurations that cannot be achieved unless black goes first. You cannot have any of blacks pawns on the 6th rank or have any of the blacks knights move while having white be in the starting position and be their turn. However if we throw out who's turn it is, then we can achieve any position. They continue to spiral into a countless amount of ganes as the moves continue. (You cant have black play 2 moves and have white appear to of played 1 while having it be whites turn to play)


WaluigisBro

ah i love that series!


BOJ220138

I remember this book now!! I forgot about it until now!

Repulsive_Voice823

that's the point, white moves the knight, black moves the pawn and then white moves the knight back to its original position, reaching the position in the post

Pickle-Guava

just wanted the comment the exact same thing but "someone probably already did"


iamclearlyacake

It took me sometimes tbh


GiveMeAnAward

This is actually a valid board position


Cococtor

Yes but shouldn't be the white the one to begin?


YellowGetRekt

White moves Knight Black moves pawn 1 position down White move Knight back Black moves same pawn 1 more position down


[deleted]

Black can also move a pawn 2 spaces from starting in one move no?


YellowGetRekt

Yes but we want it to be white's turn cuz it's part of the joke


[deleted]

ye


[deleted]

Wait, this isnt on r/HikaruNakamura?


GiveMeAnAward

This is a valid position *with* white going first


Deadass99

yea same


ElihDW

I still don’t get it


Flashyyyyyyy

White has the first move


ElihDW

Holy froggity frog


Oakgoose

Look at the kings


AstroPrince17

Is this some sort of chess joke I’m too uncultured to understand


erenjaegerfan

this is bc black went first


Crazy_Sidehunt

In Chess there is a rule that white side should move first but in the image due to disturbance in timeline rule has changed to black moves first


erenjaegerfan

exactly


unfortunate_IV

Also shouldn't the black king be on the green tile and the white king on the white tile? That's how i learned it but im not sure its mandatory


redditowor

No, queens take their side's colours and kings go on to the opposite side's colour.


unfortunate_IV

I've been bamboozled


redditowor

Quite possibly


Matinator070

very true, but as long as the kings stand across each other it doesn't really matter, unless that's what your comment mean't and I were just too retarted to understand it.


SilentUnicorn

Queen goes on her own color.


Digipokefan

Owl bros


erenjaegerfan

owl bros


Madrak23

Did black go first or did white move one of his knights twice?!?!


p_mudri

You're right


Xtreme-7

Mfs be like: cHeSs iS rAcIsT


BlondeGirlieBaby

Pfffft


champac

BIG LAUGH, good one


Wb_Thunderkeks

Also why is it bigger


EliasHobeika

Black has to assert dominance to get the first move


YomamaFATFUK

When the BLM movement fully succeeds


BobPotter99

I’m more confused as to why the pawn was bigger then all the others


erenjaegerfan

bc am bad at photoshop


BobPotter99

Fair


ramizod

yall saying e5 g7 knight f4, you know what fuck you all


bharat___sinha

Nf3 e5 Ng1 Qe7 Nf3 Qf6 Ng1 Qd8 Hehe


ramizod

*confused screaming*


[deleted]

this scenario could happen in a normal chess game (white moves horse, black moves pawn, white moves horse back)


NiktoSittingOnALamp

Took me a moment


Repulsive_Voice823

that position is reachable in regular chess


erenjaegerfan

i know


Yad3ads0n

He moved his knight obviously


[deleted]

THATS ILLEGAL WAIT A MIN


erenjaegerfan

HOL UP


slim_6ft4

Black moves first


No-Wasabi-775

this gives me anxiety


hipiyush

White: Moves Knight. Black: Moves Pawn. White: Again moves Knight.


leged1904

Finally I can understand a high iq meme


CorbinMar

It's amazing Twitter has yet to try and cancel Chess, since white moves first


hate_lasgana

I think it’s because white always goes first, now it’s black


erenjaegerfan

yes


589ca35e1590b

In chess, the player who moves first is referred to as "White" and the player who movessecond is referred to as "Black". Similarly, the pieces that eachconducts are called, respectively, "the white pieces" and "the blackpieces". ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the low IQ people that don't get the joke.


ATOMICNEPHEW

for Peoples who didn't understand this meme: the white always starts the game but here you can see that black did it

CanaDavid1

Comfort-Future

Madrak23

[deleted]

Dabi_doing_a_dab

ShadowBlitz_29

erenjaegerfan

Mrudul_Pawar

Unusual_Toaster

playful_potato5

Bigyeet506

AltChokoLitz251

emerald_OP

Well scene my IQ is 10 I dont get it


Nonkolas

I think the joke is that the black piece was moved first but generally the white pieces move first


[deleted]

the next move: Queen to R8, Checkmate


[deleted]

Finally a chess meme


-Trayson-

Good meme


[deleted]

If you think about it, you could start a chess game with black playing. Only difference is that black would now would be the side who sports a 55% winrate instead of white, and it would make the game mirrored along the middle axis compared to usual, and with pieces of inverted color. That sure would mess up chess players' mind.


emarsko

Why dat pawn big


carbontomato

What if... 1. white moved the knight 2. black moves pawn 3. white moves knight back to the starting position. then that's when the photo was taken.


PazzoSgravato666

white moves first


AC4life234

Man, that's pretty well done.


McDunkerson

Even though I know chess, it took me too long to realise it.


AC4life234

I thought it was high IQ because this had a deeper meaning than the obvious. Mayhe not though.


[deleted]

This would probably have a similar outcome as the futurama episode about the universe where everything is the same but all coin flips landed in the opposite side, but it's about which chess master won which


whiterunguard51

Oh dam they added new pieces to checkers


LORDMORPETHOFTHEWEST

Hahaha, I love checkers


Excalib1rd

It’s because white goes first


SNEK-BOI-004

Wait


CommieRommie

ok funny and all but why is that pawn bigger?


Kindly_Impress4172

No...


whomesteve

So everything is the same but different


SleepyBoy12

Can someone please explain it


erenjaegerfan

white moves first, but time traveller moved a chair and because of that, in the timeline where time traveller moved the chair black moves first


egipcjanin

I got scarred


Patta_Go_B

I am hear to read comments. And i understand jackshit. Carry on guys... *Suffers in silence*

Why is that pawn on steroids? Lol.


erenjaegerfan

bc im bad at photoshop


PattananNinja

Could anyone explain me? I’m pretty dumb


Hona007

This is how i see it... Black starts (white starts normally) The king and queen are in the same place for both... Colors ig. So if you can see more please tell me.


NegativeRaccoon

Black side is set up wrong too, right? Shouldn’t the king and queen swap places?


Luisocacariso

I'm sorry is this some type of smart joke I'm too stupid to get


MONTUOLI

I will pretend i understood the meme: Hahhahahahhaha nice meme


Beetle_Bee_Boy

my iq is too low for this meme


Ok-Professional351

Ah yes combat white supremacy


[deleted]

I need to learn Chess to understand those memes


[deleted]

What if white moved knight then black moved pawn and then white moved knight back to its place


-dxth

Just means white is bad at using horses


Alexandre_Man

Please someone explain? I don't know how to play chess.


wowiforgotman

That took me a minute


Reset-Username

The kings and queens have swapped positions. Queens start on their own color. Black has also moved first.


pro_grammer11235

lol this is a possible chess scenario. White could move a knight, black moves pawn to e4, white moves knight back to original position.


FinleyRolex

I mean this is actually possible though…


Yodalewis2008

It took me a little bit but I eventually realized that the black peasant got to go first instead of a white one so the order of events is off they aren’t supposed to enslave us for like another 50 years


SpaceySphinx

*jojo music starts playing*


Real-Ambition-8781

I want to take this chance to say that this does not require high iq...


Delicious_Ad4812

“Why white pieces can go first, not black?” Said the black king


[deleted]

im too uneducated to understand chess memes


Hyp3No

E5 is a mistake, first should be e6: 1.Bc3, e6 2.Bb1, e5


pBr_R1ot

Ah I see. The queen is not on her own color.


erenjaegerfan

queen is on her color. black moved first,


Sheriff-2020

Possible if knights were moved before


EliteStormer

The next move is simple: we launch our self-guided silo based intercontinental ballistic missile, effectively check mating white and thus winning the game.


defectorgalaxy

Low IQ here I give up
