Code Geass Ep 6
Charise Farag
perhaps one of the more memorable chess scene is the scene from the very first episode. rivalz says that lelouch has absolutely no way of winning and eventually lelouch wins in just under 9 minutes. however, after analyzing their chess board, i realized that in that position it was more or less impossible for lelouch (black) not to win. he was in such a favorable position that i was actually quite amused that it took him 9 minutes.
the other notable chess scene is the duel between lelouch and schenizel. this one, unlike the other one was completely ridiculous. the people comment that they are tied, when one obviously has a few piece advantage. the most crazy thing is, after a few shots at different angles of the game, a few pieces suddenly show up of nowhere. this just proves my point.
Yeah, I think I remember that happening? Weren't the onlookers saying something like "he's sacrificing his king" or something like that? And then his opponent just moved away. I think that by itself basically throws any kind of chess realism in the show out of the window.
I like the chess aspect in Code geass, but when Lelouch and Scneizel played and scneizel placed his king infront of lelouch's, I was thinking, OBJECTION!!! I know the writers wanted to make the chess game a more meaningful show but come on, breaking the rules just isn't right.
I believe that the animators are just like the rest of the anime chess users, they know the basics of play but only use the game of chess to represent a mind battle between the opponents. They probably do not care much for the actual game itself.
Hasn't the black knight on h3 check on the white king on g1. And if black has the next move the game would already be check mate. When instead white has the next move, you are not able to win. The queen can start with 3 moves to direct your moves by checking the king. After this its just a matter of time until check mate.
