Heh, actually they probably went out of their way to mess up the position so it would be more memorable to chess players. See how well it's worked? There are many who have commented on this position.
What's funny is everything else about the position looks just like the english attack out of a scheveningen sicilian. Add that to the fact they had to use an actual chess viewer to set this up... so the double light square bishops is very odd. Also the move made in the commercial is a blunder, why not just use the move from the game you obviously got the position from? It's a mystery. Anyway at least this commercial is more accurate than most what is the light square at bottom right.
I can't believe you people are actually examining the chess board. Who gives a rats ass? That's not the point of the commercial. No one cares about your skills in chess to know who's winning and who's "promoting bishops" just watch the video.
QUE TENSION... viene... viene viene viene GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL..!!!!!!!
Lol, I should have looked at the chess board more carefully. I still thought the commercial was absolutely hilarious, one of the few geico commercials that got a laugh out of me for awhile. Too bad the cheering was for the wrong person, black was being completely demolished by white and his two white-square bishops.
Actually, the 2 white squared bishops could be possible if a pawn made it to the last row and was made into a bishop instead of a queen, rook, etc, because the pawn can be turned into any other piece
The chess position is illogical and illegal. White has two light-squared bishops. To anyone who knows chess, this is as ridiculous as showing a baseball batter using a tennis raquet. Yet again, we see that when advertising uses chess, they usually screw it up.
@N7eightyeight That is your privilege, though I would submit that it is also your loss. Chess can be as rewarding as music or love, and one is the less for never knowing any of those.
@HaxoAngmark hehe...good point. I often see chess used as a metaphor for strategy in investments. however, they invariably show things in the chess advertisement like one king capturing the other, or an illegal position (e.g. a king in check and some other move is made). Good that u noticed the illegality of it... GOOOOOOOAALLL! :) hehe, sorry, couldn't resist... :)
@RanConstantine Not true. While the view of the demo board is incomplete, and fails to show Black's back rank, the shot of the actual players' board clearly shows a black king and other pieces on the 8th rank.
"Thinking, he is thinking! Here it comes... Look, look look! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"
This is why i like the Spanish announcers rather than the British ones. British: GOoal. Spanish: GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL (grasp for air) GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL.
