I mean... most sea snakes specialize in eating fish (and their eggs). I don't think it would take that many.

Army consists solely of snake pieces: "So we'll start with the similar strategy, I guess, of developing the snakes."

I feel like the Snakes & Knibis are worse than bishops & knights, because you can block their movement without being put in danger

I know the vid is a month old and you might not see this but at 14:20 where you've got a trapped snake and are taking the draw, you had a check on the board with Snake to f5 to then try and look for moving something to a dark square with forks and whatnot. Surprised you either just completely didn't see it or preferred to take the draw.

I like how your snake piece moves like a bishop and takes like a knight while your dragon piece moves like a bishop and a knight, because in Chinese mythology, a snake becomes a dragon after a long time.

I wonder wether it will become a recovering series.
I want checkmate just asks his community to make new and more  exotic fairy piece and this just becomes a theoretical exploration of chess peices where we determined their strategies.
Interesting idea,hope it reaches you.

"We start with the strategy of developing the snakes."
Well, you're not wrong.

Couldn't care less. If it could care less, then it does care.

i think you should try to do it in reverse where you start with a normal setup and add one piece at a time to stockfish

11:53 honestly even that snake is not a tactic, there’s no way of protecting the queen

This man REALLY wants to mate stockfish with his snake...

4:01 TIL the ending of "knight" is "kni".

4:24 you can prevent mate by moving the other one since its in a L to the one you sacrificed

This whole thing is so surreal to hear sometimes. Sitting here and hearing him say stuff like "then I threaten snake to F6" so nonchalant is kinda bizarre :D

23:05 that’s actually pretty sick Ofc stockfish notices it

19:43 "theres no way im finishing this off without mating stockfish with my snakes" alright bro

I'd enjoy these even more with a full set of pieces (adding or replacing the valuable fairy pieces for your advantage). Love all the tactics in your vids!

Wow I’m normally late to these lmao. Not sleeping has perks 🤔

Snakes... why did it have to be snakes.

Request, I'd like to see what mating pattern Stockfish would use for 2 or 3 sneaks vs king
