it's about time for a redemption arc 😏

[MadaxeMunkeee]

Things that were missing:
- high stakes (if you lose, you die)
- a long cut scene to establish motivation for both characters, and why they can’t afford to lose
- the value of friendship

Joma:"I've learned 300 openings"
Also Joma: *gets backrank checkmated*

[lordvarys]

u forgot at least 2 people watching this next to and explain every simple move like it was a complicated worldclass play :D

[yungyosef]

This is so accurate to the point of replicating how studios run out of money for B-Rolls and how the king gets captured in anime.

[randomname]

What do you mean “if chess was an anime” this just looks like how everyone plays chess

[ZearthGJL]

"Joma played the King's pawn opening. This was his first mistake. We shall now send an intercontinental ballistic missile to exploit this opportunity."

[GustavoSilva-nyjc]

GREAT, now we enter Joma's training arc, where in the second season he must find a Sensei, go on a brutal training in the mountains and face formidable foes in order to prepare against this guy, which is much stronger than we previously thought and it's also training hard.

Second season will also develop the motivation and passion of the two for chess, in a bunch of metaphorical and even exaggerated ways, connecting pieces moves with the mechanics of the universe, human condition and life.

This wasn’t a match, this was an execution 💀💀

[jonathanmarin]

This is not accurate. We all know that the protagonist always win with the power of friendship and love.

[aarushsingh]

Seems like joma has really been enjoying queens gambit.

[TrenBlack]

OG fans have already seen this 83 times

[karto]

A chess match between light and l in death note would be the most epic battle in history

[TIJEY-BEG]

It was such an exciting duel, that even the YouTube app crashed when I watched it.

[djlclopez]

You forgot all the facial twitching and disbelief once the main character finds out how powerful the opponent is 😂

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Fun fact: Magnus Carlsen is the Saitama of chess

[naveen]

* captures the king *
"Wait that's illegal"

[acethefiredragon]

You forgot the 200+ different shocked reactions from background characters watching the game. And that one smart dude with glasses explaining the situation.

[Duval-In-The-Wall]

The idea of the protagonist (king) sacrificing his allies for a tactical advantage is crazy

Even the idea of “trading queens” would be hilarious in a show

[damnfreakingsien]

I like how the characters explained their moves like special attacks in one piece.

“This attack is the double hurricane pincer attack. Where 2 knights trudged their way forward in a circle. Your puny pawns aren’t gonna save you! “
