    5d Chess with Multiverse Time Travel isn’t hard.

    If you start losing, all you’ve gotta do is send a piece back in time to give yourself some breathing room. =D

      Bishops are terrifying in that game. I’ve lost more than a few to a retrograde checkmate.

      For those confused, bishops step through 2 dimensions at a time. In a normal chess game, that is X&Y, making them move diagonally. In 5D chess it can be X &T, letting it check a king in the past. Since a king in the past can’t move, it’s a checkmate.
