”Welcome… to The Chessmaster.”
The Chessmaster is a series of chess video games. It released on many systems. This TAS beats the CPU on the easiest difficulty, “Newcomer 1”, on the Game Gear version.
Objectives
- fastest completion
- easiest difficulty
- Emulator used: BizHawk 2.11
Notes
These moves are played:
- e4, Knf6
- Bc4, Knxe4
- Qf3, Knc6
- Qxf7++
Black will always move their left knight on their first turn. You can only manipulate it landing on f6 or f8. While you’d think doing e3 would be faster, it turns out it prevents the route from happening.
nymx: Claiming for judging.
nymx: Curious that this port doesn't behave the same way as the #10415: Walgrey's GBC Chessmaster "Newcomer 1" in 00:26.253. I had originally thought that "book moves" were added, but then again...on "Newcomer 1"???...so nah.
In this submission, the optimization here looks good as this is a common strategy used to quickly mate opponents. So it doesn't bring up any obvious issues.
Accepting to "Standard" as "Newcomer 1" branch.
