Theoretically, I like chess. I learned it at a very young age, and defeated the uncle who taught me, hollowing his soul and cursing myself to a decade with nobody to play it with. That decade probably kept me from being the kind of person who memorises moves and has special names for things from a textbook. In a way, it made me.
5D Chess, on the other hand, makes me feel like that uncle likely did. This is not possible. How. What. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
I have yet to experience a single defeat or victory that I understood. And I don’t like it.

I'm not going to lie, '5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel' is not a string of words I thought would exist, and yet it's now quickly become the most important sentence in existence. I like to scroll twitter as I'm a big fan of memes and it's become my primary source for information (once checked, of course) and sometimes it allows me to find gems that I can't help but share with you fine folk here.
If you thought Victoria 2 on the Nintendo Switch was a wild ride, you ain't seen nothing yet - say hello to the only version of Chess you'll ever need again (maybe), which we were delighted to discover is a thing that actually exists.
That steam review mentioned in the quote, which at the time of writing is the top review on 5D Chess' Steam Page, is quite a read. For those of you who aren't on twitter, behold:
I was playing a game against a human opponent online, and at one point they sent a queen back in time from one of the ten timelines currently in play to put five of my past kings into check at once. I sent one of my own pieces even further back to stall, and they proceeded to send one of their queens back to the start of the game to try and beat me before I even got to that point. I was able to maneuver one of my bishops in the second-most divergent timeline into position to capture the queen in the alternate present once we got back to that point and save the game (I eventually won by checkmating their king 5 turns in the past).

Thank you everyone who's playing the game, sharing it with their friends, and exploring the game together.
Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 are now officially supported.
Fixed a crash related to non-ascii characters in your Windows username.
Fixed a few bugs related to puzzles.
Puzzle draws are no longer counted as wins.
Puzzle AI avoids a few blunders.
The puzzles Rook Tactics III, Combination Attacks IV, Tricky Checkmates I, and others may have unintentionally been marked as complete due to these bugs.
A community member has created a very good primer on the pieces and rules, that may help with any questions you're having.

I’m sure you, a genius much like myself, have often looked at chess and thought “This is an idiot’s game for babies, fools, and foolish baby idiots.” I’m sure you, a genius much like myself, will therefore be thrilled to see the launch of 5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel. And you, a genius much like myself, will be only too keen to play chess across extra “spatial, temporal, and parallel dimensions”. You, a genius much like myself, certainly will not read the marketing boast “It’s the first ever chess variant with multiverse time travel!” and groan OH GOD HELP.
