It would mean the world to me if you would subscribe because I love sharing my passion for chess!
This puzzle from the movie “Glass Onion” is actually a chess problem! Do you recognize it? They call it a “chess endgame” in the movie, and although it’s not strictly an endgame since all the pieces are still on the board, the correct move does end the game. This is the fastest possible checkmate, as Queen H4 wins in two moves! It’s known as the fool’s mate – a fitting name as one character is outed as a fool…
“This is a chess endgame” literally has mate in 1 in the opening💀
First thing I said when I saw it that scene was that’s not an endgame
I watched that movie and me and my bro looked and immediately saw the fools mate
Me, having watched an analysis video about how Miles is actually an idiot and this scene is just a "reference" to chess because it's seen as a high class thing: Ha, yes this is intentionally a very simple puzzle because they wouldn't be able to actually solve a difficult problem.
I actually defeated someone like that recently. It was hilarious. He was pretending to be a good player before the match xD
In the sense that the game is about to end I guess it's an endgame but Jesus have some respect for the game of chess
I have not watched this movie, but the position of the balls indicate that White is about to get mated
it “ends the game”
but it’s still not an endgame
To people saying this isn’t an endgame you’re wrong. It is an endgame. It ends in 1 move
I've lost to this mistake… Twice 😑
I’m still salty that they choose the easiest way to checkmate an opponent, which makes sense because at the end of the movie we learned that the rich guy wasn’t a genius, which explains why he choose the easiest way to checkmate in 1.
Yeah I watched that and I was immediately like “What the fuck? Endgame? No..?”
It's not the fastest possible checkmate.
Started following your channel, and you do not disappoint. Keep at it man
An endgame on move 2.
What fool plays f3 and then g4
I actually beat a 1500 who played this 😂 crazy stuff
Can u not take with the rook
Fools mate
If that lady had said "That's a fool's mate" instead, the movie would have been better.
The fact that i saw it instantly is only a testiment to how dumb my friends are to constantly fall for this
Nah they need to be "specifically" stupid to pull this off
I only remember this as "what jschlatt did"
f.. i actually watched it
I wouldn't consider it an end game, but given there is an argument to be made about the movie isn't terrible
"OMG JSCHLAT PLAYED THIS BECAUSE HES A FOOOOOOOOOL"
another addition to my list "reasons why rian johnson is a literal genius"
On what earth is this an endgame, its 1.5 moves in..
bruh i saw that immediately
so im not the only one
I immediately knew becuse I am so familiar with fools mate it is the funniest way to win
reminds me of a certain “schlatt”
Didn’t Ludwig play this
I completely missed this scene
Me who doesn't see pawn h2:
"Well just Rook h4"
XDDDDD calling the fool's mate an endgame 💀
I actually used this to checkmate my chess club teacher
I was actually wondering how it was a chess endgame when only 3 pieces moved
Nah i am concerned about that chess set shown at first i need that whats its name
Thats no where near an endgame.
Schatt?
No thats a chinaese checkers problem
"She's not gonna see this coming"
This genuinely pissed me off when I saw the movie, like no this isn’t some complicated chess endgame it’s literally the fastest checkmate possible and no it’s not an endgame
Isn’t a fools mate with a bishop and queen
It’s an “endgame” because the next move ends the game..😂
Never play F3
the fuck kinda ugly ass board is that? the fuck
I accidentally did this yes
