2PM - Higher Teaser
2PM TEASER ahhh HOTTEST Lets Meet in Heaven
Final Code Theories!!
This theory is a pretty epic enough already. I gotta say, seeing only two kings left on the board made shivers go down my spine.
But I couldn't help but wonder if there was a lot more to it especially with those dark spaces, so I took out my embarrassing dog and cat chess board that I haven't even touched in like 5+ years and did each move one by one. And I found some mind blasting discoveries!!!!
Before I begin, a couple basics of chess:
The point of the game is to win by capturing/taking out the other team's king, with strategy
Each piece can only move in a certain way; i.e. the bishop can only move diagonally, the rook can only move horizontally and vertically, the knight can only move in a 4 space L-shape, etc
There's more but that's irrelevant right now ok
Anyway, the thing is It really felt more than just a chess game, like there was a reason or a story behind each move. I say this because there were very good opportunities to directly take out the opponents' major pieces but they didn't do so as well as letting their own major pieces get taken. At first I thought the latter was just sacrificing for strategy, but why would you sacrifice your queen or bishops???? There has to be a significance.
And I realized that every time one team took out the other team's piece, the other team would work to take out the same piece. Like a knight for a knight, a pawn for a pawn. As shown here:
On the board there are 2 kings, 2 rooks, and 2 bishops. It leads me to believe that the stalemate is not only what it's about but equivalent exchange as well.
But it wasn't always same piece per team especially towards the end. However it didn't feel like the only reason behind the moves were to have an equal amount of pieces on the board at all times because there was aggression in each team's moves like they were really trying to beat each other. It felt like a battle of equal strength, two opponents meeting each other's match.
Before the final move, the board looked like this:
The Black Team's Rook has the White Team's King "in check" which means one team is threatening to take out the opposing team's King. The White Bishop then takes out the menacing Black Rook and is consequently taken out by the Black King, leaving the two kings facing each other in a battle that can no longer be won.
An interesting fact by @Mr-Johnny: "a king and rook can force checkmate against a lone king, while a king and bishop cannot"
But I still can't figure out the meaning of the dark spaces of the board. I even put masking tape on my board where they were but I got nothin' A lot of the spaces were in the White Team's area though and so were a lot of the "battles" lol yet I don't think there is a connection between the two.
In conclusion, I really REALLY feel there is a significance to this game's move sets. A lot of this information is very raw so you could go even more into depth with this!!
it's official, i'm an ultimate dumbass. i only found out about this teaser like 5 seconds ago. but ahhh!
