| An analysis of the chess game played in Amine's "Charmander" Video Posted: 07 Dec 2021 11:02 AM PST If you're like me, then whenever you watch a movie or video that has chess in it, you wonder if they're actually playing. In the case of Amine's latest video for "Charmander", there's a quick clip of a game. Since I've been listening to Amine some while enjoying the world chess championship this month, I have had both chess and music on my mind. Are they actually playing chess? Let's find out. This is the opening position, which makes some sense. Most of the minor pieces have been developed, and the evaluation bar on the left loves white's (Amine's) position. The biggest problem with the game is that the board appears to have been set up wrong, with the black king and queen on the opposite squares they should be. After black pushes the h pawn, Amine ventures out boldly with Qa4. This offers a trade of queens, and also threatens the capture of black's bishop on c4. Let's jump forward a couple of moves. Here, Amine moves the queen to b6 to put black's king in check. This is actually a very interesting move because if the queen is taken by the a7 pawn (which is the only legal move), black with lose both the rook and queen. Here there is a moment of realism in the video, where the girl tries to make a couple moves and Amine explains that those moves are not legal because she's in check. This leads me to believe that Amine has at least a basic grasp of the rules of chess. A few moves later and the game got sloppy. After RxRa8+, the black king steps forward on to the d7 square. This is an illegal move since white's bishop on f5 controls that square. Any faith that I had in Amine's chess prowess has been eliminated. A few moves later, Amine triumphantly puts his rook down on d7, implying that it is checkmate. As you can tell, the black king actually has two squares to escape to in e8 and f8. While I will admit that Amine is indeed bodying his opponent (evaluation bar says there's a forced checkmate in 6 moves), the game is not over yet. Conclusion/TL;DR: I would give the realism of this game a 4/10. Amine demonstrated that he knew the rules of chess when he wouldn't allow his opponent to make an illegal move. A few moves later, he allowed just such a move. [link] [comments] |
