How to Solo the Chess Event in Karazhan

A run through of what I consider the best method of soloing the Karazhan Chess Event, assuming some minor, basic knowledge of the pieces.

Quick Strategy Rundown: Get the 2 Daemons to the centre to AoE the field, nuke their king with your Warlock while keeping your King out of fire.

-------------------------------------------

My first Video in Sony Vegas 11, some basic text elements adding, nothing much.

The only error I noticed after rendering, was I said a 2 square diameter for the Daemons AoE, it's a 2 square radius (I think)

Criticisms welcome.

happy this could be of help to some people, as always, chess is very random, but going in with a solid plan can help to focus you a bit :)

thats a VERY unlikely scenario, cause ive noticed in this video you didnt get any fire upon your pieces so it looks pretty easy and i dont know how u lucked into that, however, trying it this way was many multiple failures for me... because i was dealing with fire and constant cheating everytime. The winning mechanic for me is move all outside pieces up then circle in.

@CoryAKAknoxville actually, at 20 minutes into the video you'll see that fires lit under blackhand, as i heard medivh use the voice emote for cheating, i checked and moved blackhand out of it right away, there was even a text comment in the video about the fires, maybe i lucked out that 2 of the fires were on pawns, i'll repost a new video tonight if i get chance with the same strat, see if anything majorly different happens

@Nitocri5 2 minutes into the video, not 20 >.>

Thanks for this! I was struggling with chess last night, and I one-shot it today using your strategy.

[Nitocri5]

@kentm98 Thanks, yeah, I've tried various strategies, including using the warlock to nuke down clerics then the king, but those methods used to take me up to 8 attempts, this one for me usually has about a 75% success rate. Glad I could help.

This video was awesome! There are several out there that I have tried before seeing yours and I just could NOT do it. I tried your way, it took me only twice (I got sidetracked the first go around lol). Thank you thank you, thank you! I am GM to a small family guild and my lock runs everyone thru any raids, dungeons and such that she can, thanks to you we now can get Kara! Yay! Thank you for making my day!

This method is a complete waste of time. Never happens like in your scenario and have to deal with constant cheating and all types of other bullshit. Nothing was even close to how it happens in your video.
