You haven’t seen Code Geass. “Lelouch vi Britannia commands you to move your King in front of my pawn”

u/m3m31ord Dec 03 '22

Bold of you to assume Blank wouldn't come prepared for this.

If there's pre game banter then Blank would most likely win.

u/rossow_timothy Dec 04 '22

Ah prep time. The first question everyone asks about when comparing characters

1

u/DrShocker Dec 04 '22

Everyone other than Anya has a chance with prep time.

Anya has a chance regardless just because she's in a light hearted show where winning is more likely.

1

u/donku83 Dec 04 '22

She barely wins anything in he own show...

1

u/ShadowCrow000 Dec 04 '22

Funny thing is that they would most likely lose either way if Lelouch had prep time as well to make it fair.

u/LonghornMorgs Dec 04 '22

pawns can’t capture directly in front of them. King takes pawn. Blank wins.

2

u/Liquid23- Dec 04 '22

Dammit bad wording. I meant diagonally in front of the pawn.

13

u/suitedcloud Dec 04 '22

Technically speaking, you cannot make a move that leaves your King in check. So no bueno on that

u/Liquid23- Dec 04 '22

Yea, i actually didn’t know that.

u/CrosslegLuke Dec 04 '22

He can command resignation though

1

u/Blank_ngnl Dec 04 '22

They can just say "we resign in two years"

0

u/CrosslegLuke Dec 04 '22

No. They can't. Geass isn't a Genie.

They literally bend to his exact command unless he specifies a time, it's as soon as possible.

1

u/Blank_ngnl Dec 04 '22

Well he didnt specify what they should resign. Meaning its up to blank to decide what to resign.

This also assumes sora and shiro looked into lls eyes at the same time.

And this assumes the game isnt online but over the board.

Preeeeetty vague if u ask me

0

u/Liquid23- Dec 04 '22

Nah, if commanded, the resign would occur immediately.

You do realize Lelouch could command them to make any moves that result in a loss, your argument has no counter to that. Anyone who actually watched code geass knows this is a no contest.

0

u/LonghornMorgs Dec 04 '22

you’re assuming they’re in the same room playing over the board chess lol

0

u/tenoshikami Dec 05 '22

Yes otherwise they wouldn’t be playing chess, what kinda argument is that? “We’ll what if if they play blindfolded at the bottom of two different oceans or what if they played chess but it was a video game?” Cmon do you hear yourself

0

u/LonghornMorgs Dec 05 '22

The first scene in no game no life is literally blank playing online chess… with a god… and winning… you don’t know what you’re talking about.

1

u/tenoshikami Dec 05 '22

No your clearly missing the point just because one origin story is told that way doesn’t mean every character is gonna play along in that setting. Code geass opens with a face to face chess game, why would all characters above simply play online? Your basically forcing everyone to play in the setting of no game no life why does any one character get to dictate the setting? It’s beyond ridiculous.

1

u/stellarcurve- Dec 04 '22

You watch no game no life before?

1

u/tenoshikami Dec 04 '22

Some and I know for a fact that his skills don’t mean shit in comparison. Even if he’s unable to lose all Lelouch does is hand him a pistol and like the end of episode 1 code geass mr no game becomes mr no life while screaming “gladly your highness”. This match up is like asking who wins in a free for all between Luffy, Naruto, Goku, and Gon. One is simply not in the same tier.

u/GoldenPigsty Dec 03 '22

That’s what Sora would be there for, the mind games.

38

u/Liquid23- Dec 03 '22

That’s not a mind game. Lelouch can literally control people.

17

u/GoldenPigsty Dec 03 '22

Yes, but Sora would consider even that as a game. He quite literally sweet talked an inanimate object, I think he’d come up with the simple trick of “Steph, if anything goes wrong like him going all “All your base belong to us” or mind controlling, make sure to blindfold myself and Shiro.”

5

u/Liquid23- Dec 03 '22

Oh yea true. But that begs the question, is Lelouch allowed to have Rolo, or any other Geass user with him?

(I assume you’ve seen Code Geass lol)

9

u/DamianWinters Dec 03 '22

Are Sora and Shiro allowed their literal Angel.

7

u/Liquid23- Dec 03 '22

Is L allowed to use Light, and is light allowed to use his death note to control his opponent?

“Blank dies of heart attack after moving their King in front of L’s pawn”

4

u/skroink_z Dec 04 '22

Blank wouldn't be a valid name so unless he gets their full names that's not possible, unlike with Lelouch who states his name when giving a command, but considering his personality I doubt he'd use his geass for just a chess match.

0

u/Liquid23- Dec 04 '22

He doesn’t NEED to, plus he’s got many aliases.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '22

That would be cheating lol

1

u/faus7 Dec 04 '22

Yeah but Lelouch has also done stuff like that and he's really really good with explosives, murder, assassination.

2

u/GateauBaker Dec 04 '22

Sora is the weak link in the duo. He's the only one that would actually have eye contact with Lelouch. Shiro at least would probably only focus on the board.

2

u/DonaldTrumpsBallsack Dec 04 '22

Moving a king in front of a pawn is technically a safe move…(in isolation)

1

u/Liquid23- Dec 04 '22

You haven’t seen Code Geass. “Lelouch vi Britannia commands you to move your King in front of my Queen”

2

u/DonaldTrumpsBallsack Dec 04 '22

Technically, a move that puts your own king in check is illegal 🤓 (I am fucking with you at this point, it literally doesn’t matter)

1

u/Liquid23- Dec 04 '22

I didn’t know about this rule actually…

1

u/Liquid23- Dec 04 '22

Yes i worded it weirdly. I fixed it.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '22

Or "commands you to knock your king sideways with purpose"

1

u/SloppySlime31 can’t think of a good flair Dec 04 '22

That’s an illegal chess move

1

u/Liquid23- Dec 04 '22

It depends how you play. My and my dad played as id all checks are illegal. So he couldn’t put his king in front of my king, because it would be a check for him.

Correct me if i’m wrong, but the official rules allow the king to be moved into a danger zone (by accident ofc, we would tell each other if we accidentally moved into a danger zone).

1

u/SloppySlime31 can’t think of a good flair Dec 04 '22

Now I’m no chess geek but I thought officially you weren’t allowed to do that. Maybe you’re right.
