11:56 - chess set not chess piece*
Guys, i'm getting old T_T

It is more complicated. If you play Chess you can see that the piece that represents Venti has a clear path to taking out Signora but doesn't which reflects the story progression. The same goes for Zhongli represented by the Rook on the chess board. Instead they trick her to the duel with the traveler which effectively turns the tide of the battle and opens up for the knight, Ei to take her out. Venti not resisting Signoras attempt to take the Gnosis is represented by what is called as a "silent move" in Chess. The theory behind these moves is to make the opponent to force a move in a position were every move the opponent makes from now on weakens the state on the board. If you use a chess computer the AI - Celestia now has a 90 percent chance to lose the game after Signora is sacrificed, you can actually use a real chess computer and confirm this. This means that the Fatui planned for Signora to be sacrificed which puts Pierro in a different light entirely because he pretends to mourn Signoras death however what he says afterwards is much more important "right now you have no captivated audience but Rosalyne I promise you the entirety of the old world will be your resting place" This phrase comes again by no other than Kaeya which suggest that Teyvat is a stage that is performing a play for an audience. it also suspicious that Pierro plays Chess in the cut scene, when the Gnosis is formed like a chess piece, could he perhaps have chosen the motive of the Gnosis in the fever dream that is Genshin Impact.

I believe this is represented by were the "gods gaze does not reach" Signora was a insignificant pawn in the game of chess but by taking her out in Teyvat they effectively lost the game. This fits Genshins theme of everything being turned upside down were a Queen is useless on the board, and a pawn is the difference between life and death. I think it is entirely possible that Celestia just like Irminsul cannot compute this logic and therefore loses. This essentially is Pierros design, will it work? At least until The Heavenly Principles sleeps because they are on some sort of auto drive as of now this may change if they are awaken and learns the rules on the board.

In this game with Casparov he played 6 matches vs Deep Blue this means that he has to create the 7:th game to fool Heavenly Principles 7 times in order to win the set. 7 regions 7 archons 7 Dragon Sovereigns. However it also means that the archons know about this and is actively helping Pierro or at least he think so but they probably know a lot more what these games actually represent since Pierro was not a particularly gifted scholar In Khaenri'ah. What the archons actually plan is unknown it is possible that they haven't agreed on a solution but both Focalors and Venti are willing to give back the stolen sovereign powers to it's respective dragon unclear what Mauvika intends to do in Natlan as of yet.

"The gods goads us with their 7 treasures" Dainsleif. This statement suggest he knows what is going on and thinks that fight is futile he is looking for answers elsewhere to save Lumine is my guess. However it is possible that Dainsleif do not yet know about the ability of the traveler to purify the Abyss because this is a gamechanger, the Abyss always trumfed the archons as the Abyssal power is supreme in Teyvat. The only occasion Venti shows any motion of surprise is when the traveler purifies Dvalins tears, this is NOT something he knew was possible which suggest that something has changed since the last "journey" in Teyvat. This resets the rules and the game entirely and ever since the archons has that knowledge in hand I believe they are planning to change Teyvats laws which would in theory free teyvat from the grasp the first Descenders currently have also known as Celestia.

Here comes the twist, I believe Teyvat is a remade version of the siblings home planet and this means that Lumine are not on either side she wants to reverse all of it they are all enemies and she is coming for all she just needs her sibling to be onboard but since Teyvat has no past or future it is entirely possible that's were the story started. Since they effectively managed to take Lumines Descender status she no longer has a will strong enough to rival Teyvats, but her sibling does and she is very dependant on him/her to revive their home planet. Tsaritsa is aware of this threat and as the archon that loved the humans the most she set a plan in motion to make humans gods.

It is also entirely possible that Lumine do not know about this ability either one is consumed by the Abyss and one has the ability to repel it, they are each others polar opposites. They want to reunite but this could prove to be almost impossible if both of them are presented by a magnet it will depend on who's will is the strongest to rival the laws of Teyvat

Here is a theory
The travler is not a king but actually just a pawn
It takes a pawn 6 moves to become a queen
There fore it takes the travler 6 nations after mondstadt(starting position) to become an archon of sorts maybe something like the archon of hope or people or wishes of the people
There fore by the end of shneznaya we will acquire the gnosises from the tsaritsa so we (now the queen ) can fight/ check mate celestia (the king of opposite collor)

Plot twist: Genshin is the no game no life sequel that no one expected

[SirZelean]

The best part is that all of this fits perfectly on the slime theory AND the order of the elements in the load screen. Pyro, Hydro, Anemo, Electro, Dendro, Cryo, Geo, that's the order in the loading screen.

Pyro and Hydro are paired, and they're both Knight pieces and both slimes have horns.

Anemo is solo as the only winged slime and the only Queen piece.

Electro and Dendro are paired as Bishops and slimes with stalks.

Cryo and Geo are paired as Rook pieces and shielded slimes.

Nice.

[MAGISTR_Il]

As a chess player myself, i quite enjoyed your video. I think that your theory fits both the genshin lore, and you've clearly made a lot of research! Keep it up!

[Rihorama]

My only problem with this theory is that Signora had no reservations to kill the traveler. Had she won the duel before the throne, all odds say the Traveler would die to Musou no Hitotachi as it was never parried before. Skara WANTED to kill the Traveler in the Reconciled Stars event. If the Traveler was part of Tsaritsa's plan all along, I'm sure she would've made very clear that they must not hurt them. Dottore only didn't hurt us in front of Nahida because he knew it would ruin his chances to negotiate with her. And Arlecchino is said to go her own way.

[partguy]

Talking abt the traveler being the king piece reminded me of what was mentioned at the end of fountains quest, how the gnosis is the remains of the 3rd descender, and how the traveler is the 4th descender. And that the traveler has similar properties to the gnosis in that they interact with elements in interesting ways. The traveler could be the king piece after all as their body interacts with tevats elements similarly to the gnosis.

[isaiahhaley]

I’m so glad someone finally has the same theory on what gnosis the chess pieces represent not to mention the fact the slimes share traits with other elemental slimes to indicate the same peice hydro and pyro slimes both have horns geo and cryo slimes both have Shields and dendro and electro slimes both have a ohoge not to mention the inverted colors of them are the exact opposite of the slime they match with anemo slime having the same colors as the sustainer possibly also being a type of king

[tommyreiss]

We already have the slime + loading screen theory which makes guessing the pieces easier tho

[Miya_.-]

"let's make a whole story about a chess game"

[EchoNoir-]

Finally someone made perfect sense of all the factors of the chess theory, brother you cooked with this one 🔥🔥

[derpdudtennoherelol]

Entire story of Genshin Impact, or entire story of the Teyvat chapter? remember, Teyvat is just the first main chapter of Genshin.

[vladilenasmusiccollection]

Interestingly (though probably a coincidence), the elements order in the game (Pyro, Hydro, Anemo, Electro, Dendro, Cryo, Geo) has them paired as in your chess pieces theory:

Hydro and Pyro as knights, Electro and Dendro as bishops, Cryo and Geo as the rooks, and Anemo as an outlier as the queen.

At some point, the same pairing was theorized with slimes: Hydro and Pyro have horns, Anemo is an outlier, Dendro and Electro have something on their heads (flowers and antenna, respectively), and Cryo and Geo have shields.

[DrakeWurrum]

I believe that chess game is just symbolic of the Fatui schemes and how they are sort of humans attempting to fight against an AI (the Heavenly Principles). It wasnt giving a statement specifically about the gnoses themselves.

Every single gnosis, if you really dig down into what a gnosis is and what it does, is a king piece.

It comes down to this: rooks, bishops, knights... do not have divine thrones. Nor do they have divine authority.
Kings do.

Every gnosis is the king of their region's chess set.

[weakestdemon]

I think the 3rd descender can also be the king( resurrected abyss sibling, i think the current abyss sibling is a clone of the original one and pierro decides to resurrect her by combining all the gnosis). Thats probably the reason why the current abyss sibling has been recorded in irminsul. Traveller cannot be a part of the chess piece cause he is an observer or recorder of the events happening around teyvat. If he was part of the chess piece then irminsul would also have record of him. In the last game its the abyss sibling together with fatui fighting against celestia. We, the traveller are just camera-man watching our sibling fighting an entire war while eating popcorn😂.

[GoldLink]

I think the theory is solid, however, I think it falls apart at Game 4. You see, in the match between Kasparov and Deep Blue, there wasn't a huge fucking motorcycle that didn't add anything to the story. Great video though.

[cactusmomma]

Hot take: The Fatui aren't truly evil. They are out to "help" the world, but on their own terms and by their own beliefs.

[YesIAmMark]

13:28 it could also be that the tsaritsta would kill the travelers sibling and they turn into a gnosis since gnosise are dead descenders, and the traveler siblings are descenders, meaning they did not come from this world

[anonmovement]

I think that there are potentially 3 ways it goes.

1. The traveler ascends to become a being more powerful than a god. This could be made possible by obtaining all elements from each respective nation, unlocking the latent potential of the traveler as a "descender". This can be supported by the fact that during Albedo's story quest and the chalk prince event, we learn about rhinedottir's attempts to simulate a descender using "matter from beyond teyvat" to create albedo, the abyssal blood that poisoned both dvalin and durin, and also what the rifthounds are made of. The process of simulating a descender was also referenced in the book series Perinheri in fontaine, telling the story of the foster home for children that were summoned to teyvat in Khaenri'ah. All to say that the idea of a descender was very sought after throughout teyvat's history, which is why the fatui are looking for all the gnoses which are the remains of the 3rd descender. This could be to avoid any risk of a rebirth occurring outside the hands of the fatui.

2. Childe will ascend to godhood in a similar manner to Scaramouche during the Sumeru archon quest. The lore archon Wei made a video about the parallels of Childe to the greek story of Ajax the hero, who through rebirth, became a powerful being. A lot of the connections stem to the idea of rebirth, and given that Childe's birth name is Ajax, he is a reincarnation of the 3rd descender. By using the remains of the 3rd descender, the fatui would be able to simulate a full rebirth of the 3rd descender using Childe as a vessel.

3. The gnoses are sacrificed to destroy the authority of the archons, yielding the seven's powers back to the dragon sovereigns of each nation. It already happened in Fontaine, and it might happen again in natlan given the fact that mavuika probably will sacrifice herself to save the nation. I dont know how plausible it is for the gnoses to be destroyed, perhaps in the moment before war between teyvat and celestia, since the heavenly principles are currently dormant.

To me, all 3 are plausible and could potentially happen, maybe even overlapping throughout the course of the story. I think that the theme of descenders and the concept of descenders, however, will remain very prevalent throughout. I believe that the 5 sinners of Khaenri'ah play a massive part in the progression of Genshin's story. Most notably, "Gold" Rhinedottir and "The Visionary" Vedrfolnir (the sinner). The connection to the abyssal powers that the sinners hold could be the key to discovering the roots of the abyss itself, the connections and parallels it shares to teyvat (ie. The night kingdom, the spiral abyss, enkanomiya etc.) and so much more. Im super hyped for lore drops during and after the natlan archon quest, and i hope we get more than just one patch of dainsleif related quest lines.
