Ah crap I'm late to the chess party.

Anyways, 5D Chess doesn't require much information, besides "it hurts" so they made a puzzle mode, not much to say except...

So in 7 of these puzzles the game zooms in on a first time play.
if you reenter a puzzle whilst the game is still launched you are allowed immediate free play before the zoom completes. Sort of like a NG+ sort of thing I guess?

The game allows you to control the zoom, by using the E key and also Mouse Wheel.
libTAS doesn't support Mouse Wheel, so it's broken up zoom in motion is done by mashing the E key optimally as possible in 6 of the puzzles.

"Spike, you just wrote 7 and now you're writing 6, what gives?"
The extra manual zoom in Combination Attacks III is not required.
It is required in:

Oh and the wicked time travel animation was immediately disabled with the I hotkey at the start.

eien86: 5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel is a new spin the traditional game, introducing notions of time travel and alternative universes. Although I am an avid chess player, this game really confuses me.

I tried, but failed, to at least come close to the solutions presented in this movie. A more authoritative member of the community, Patashu, wrote a Steam guide to all these puzzles and their solutions, said he didn't know whether these solutions could be faster or not. This is, of course, a positive note on the movie's quality.

Since this is a chess derivative (and rather complicated at that), I believe it is beyond expectation that the presented movie should represent the optimal theoretical route. Indeed, it is entirely possible that one could exist. Instead, since the question of optimality does not require exhaustion of all possible routes, the job of finding one such better route corresponds to other players looking to obsolete this movie in the future (or the past? lol).

Furthermore, this movie beats the current speedrun records by two and a half minutes.

Finally, the inputs seem tight enough, that there is no evident opportunities for better 'menuing', clicking or zooming, even when watched in slow motion.
