The king is the most epic looking and strongeset. But can only move one space

[OfHolyKnights]

Amazing. I saw an illegal move at 2:08 The king didn't move to where he attacked.

Oh the ending song sounds like pork and beans by Weezer

[lansapollos48]

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooolo­n

[iloveihop07]

i think an illegal move occurs at 2:06. RxR, KxR, but king doesn't land on the rook's square - it lands on the 4th file instead of the 5th.

[PeterEsquire]

@iloveihop07 Hey good call, didn't catch that one. You're missing at least one other one though.

[logodaedally]

I saw the ad for this set in the LEGO magazine! Always wanted it. Great movie, but I can't see the actual game.

Your choice of background music is too perfect. :)

[DarkDragon3474]

[turboman10000]

cool. interesting idea

[deathpiggy25]

is that last song an instrumental of pork and beans

[PeterEsquire]

@deathpiggy25 Yup. (I said so on the description) Some guy made an orchestral version of it, which is pretty cool, then he took it off Youtube . But I got the mp3 first!

[MichaelTallon]

This is so awesome!!! It completely inspires me to do some more stop motion!

[emifilms1]

You choose a very good music!!!

[hittiikkari]

Nice

[7190qwerty]

awsome i showed this 2 my chess club it rocked (but u cant really play chess that well);)

[PeterEsquire]

I'm actually one of the best chess players in my group, but I had to make it a 3 minute game. To have one that short, you have to have one dumb person. :)

[kakaman05]

@PeterEsquire what is your rating or uscf rating?

[PeterEsquire]

@kakaman05 Don't have one, but I'm better then this. :D

[YourRoadToHell]

amusing, someone cant play chess though.

[Soldato55]

The name of the song?

[PeterEsquire]

The song is Rossini's William Tell Overture. The credits is a orchestrated version of Pork & Beans, by Weezer.

Thanks for the comment!

[Soldato55]

This vid is funny XD

[PeterEsquire]

Thanks!

[Soldato55]

Beutiful vid

[dewroach]

amazing work! Zero

[ancientbricks]

brilliant idea, very creatively handled. My only regret is that the low frame rate and constant camera movement makes it a bit painful to watch, but still a worthy effort.

Did you plan out the entire actual chess game moves before filming, or did you just wing it?

[PeterEsquire]

Thanks for your comment. I know it isnt professional or anything like that, I wanted to make a decently long video without it being quite as choppy as 99% of the lego videos up on Utube. I think its 1500 pictures, and I didn't want to spend any more time on it (not to mention animation). Its also the 2nd one Ive made so I had inexperience.

And yea I winged it. I love chess. I find that all my inspiration is pretty spontaneous. It would be boring without the stuff I thought of on the fly.

Thanks!

[ancientbricks]

Well, it certainly is much better animation than most LEGO animation you see on YT.  Nice Job.

[SmutsigaBubblan]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr the red team most win

[PeterEsquire]

pardon?

[EconTycoon]

No problem, you're welcome! Your video rocks! So we had to comment nicely, you see , it's just how youtube works. lol

[PeterEsquire]

Thanks guys!

[EconTycoon]

Cool.

Nice music track, matches completely at every part.

Even the credit soundtrack fits the end of a battle.

Really makes me think about how chess and other games can resemble crucial moments of life, and just having fun with simple things like chess.

[Happular]

Very interesting!
