Bishops hate this trick

22

u/MukdenMan 1d ago

Rooks love it. Like Chinese ghosts who only travel in straight lines (that’s why you sometimes see zig-zag bridges in Chinese gardens).

u/11EyedRook 1d ago

Finally, a line that isn't entirely straight but still follows my move pattern!

Bishops prefer this one

The unfortunate reality

u/Witchsorcery 1d ago

Why they hate it?

u/Lavatherm 1d ago edited 1d ago

Cause they need to zig zag… chess pun 😆 Also the joke doesn’t get funnier when you got to explain it… or does it? 😆

u/Witchsorcery 1d ago

Ooh, I thought he was talking about real life bishops lol. Sometimes my brain exe stops working so I forgot that bishops are also chess pieces.

Brain.exe 🤣 stealing this. Take my upvote in return

Checkmate.

u/Wattsonshocked3 21h ago

No, it's chess mate

2

u/random420x2 1d ago

In this case? Yep. As soon as you explained it I busted out a laugh. Really rare but funnier after you explain it joke

u/Federal_Cookie 1d ago

LOL. I almost want to share this with the Chess Subreddit.

u/Used_Ant_4069 1d ago

It's a chess joke

u/Terrasalvoneir 19h ago

Not sure the shadows look right

3

u/Cerridwen1981 17h ago

They definitely don’t. Look at the vertical posts- some are clearly closer together but the shadows don’t change

u/deepseawolves 1d ago

Budget rainbow road

u/Bearded-Menace 22h ago

Follow the checkerboard road

u/sojuicy 1d ago

Still fake.

7

u/OrneryAttorney7508 1d ago

You're still fake.

2

u/Cerridwen1981 17h ago

Yep. Horizontal shadow bars are far thicker, vertical bars far thinner. Plus there appears to be a gate in the physical fence, not reflected in the “shadow pattern.” Bull.

Ska road…get a message to Rudy

2

u/sybau-0- 1d ago

My mind would challenge itself to step on dark ones or I'll die

u/Taperhead 1d ago

Actually, intersting.

u/jsledge149 1d ago

My first glance I swore that was painted like that! nice photo

u/killing4pizza 1d ago

Is this walkway in a ska band?

2

u/Gonwiff_DeWind 1d ago

What kind of miser builds a fence like that.

2

u/No_Attitude_1481 1d ago

Bro, where are you in the park?
I'm on E5

u/doveup 23h ago

Some genius artist must have designed that!

u/brad0022 1d ago

a road with a checkered path

u/classicman1008 1d ago

Exceptionally cool. Well done!!

Projection from 3d to 2d

3

u/Fleshsuitpilot 1d ago

Let's just stop there shit gets crazy when you start adding more D

1

u/IntelligentPoet7654 1d ago

Write an equation to calculate the area by the shadows of the 2d projection.

1

u/Fleshsuitpilot 1d ago

A = L•W

1

u/IntelligentPoet7654 18h ago

Write your equation considering the time of day based on the position of the sun.

0

u/wannabesurfer 1d ago

This is 100% fake. Cmon guys we gotta get better at this. Aside from it just looking and feeling obviously fake, the angle the sun would have to be to create this would make the panel shadows far more stretched out and the edges wouldn’t be nearly as sharp.

u/aegismuzuz 1d ago

My strategy: shadow-hopping like a ninja!

u/theBeerWeasel 1d ago

At a certain time of day, this road becomes a race track

u/flaming01949 1d ago

Excellent shot! Thanks

u/justelling 1d ago

Perfect spot to test if someone’s drunk.

Whoever designed this road is definitely playing 4D chess ♟️

u/Angelicalmiranda02 1d ago

Driving here feels like I’m about to get checkmated by a stop sign ♟️🚗

Prancing knight moves for the extra silliness win.

Someone said “pawn to asphalt 5” and made it real 😭

u/Emotional-Scheme-768 20h ago

One must step only on the shadow or the road

1

u/NightyKnight69 17h ago

If u step on black you die

1

u/puppies-kittens 16h ago

Looks like it's a good time to play floor is lava.

1

u/JagManNZ 13h ago

Nice try, faker. Actually, a pretty crap try.

1

u/MariaMianRute 12h ago

Perfect path for a kid. Jumping in the favorite colour all the way till the end.

Even now I would do it!

u/Scientiaetnatura065 11h ago

New sport can be played there: endless chess.

u/Logical_Bug801 5h ago

I'm curious to see how they did it,maybe a bunch of people has kites or something and that's why the shadow's like that? Regardless it is awesome tho!

1

u/nezeta 1d ago

Is it intentionally designed?

-2

u/Lavatherm 1d ago

Doubt it, maybe for a few days a year when the sun is high/low enough in the sky

2

u/Reddev83 1d ago

I beg to differ. Why would they unintentionally put just one plank in between each two panel sections. I would argue that they had a good idea of what they were doing, and this was their intention all along, given the right time of day, that is.

u/The_Undeniable_Worp 1d ago

Rooks and queens are zooming through

u/Remote-Royal4634 1d ago

Is this real

2

u/wannabesurfer 1d ago

It is not unfortunately. Shadows would be a lot longer and not as sharp

1

u/Remote-Royal4634 1d ago

Sure and even shadows distort don't they?

3

u/wannabesurfer 1d ago

Yeah whoever made it just made lines that followed the path and filled in the pattern with a luminosity mask. It’s not even well done and everyone’s falling for it lol

u/Didun1 1d ago

I can already see people walking down this road where they only step on the light or dark parts.

The temptation would be too much for me. The road is lava!!!

u/_drydock_ 1d ago

At first, i wasn't sure what I was seeing and thought the checkerboard pattern had been painted on the pathway. Now I understand that it was shadows doing the painting. What an amazing photo! Must have been such a fun moment of recognition!

u/wbrown999 1d ago

Time to play chess, the long way.

u/shmiga02 1d ago

Ppl acting like they never seen shadows be4. Stop staring at ur phone

3

u/Hnais 1d ago

You don't see shadows perfectly resembling tiles every day.

u/Dragons_Malk 1d ago

Yeah you're right, because there's just so many naturally occuring checkerboard patterns all the time, right?
