Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e 3rd Season Episode 11 Discussion

@Shinji_Kenshin I did watch the post ending, that; plus all the things we learn about her and the 🐐’s past is really sweet. The fact that she is actually one of his very few real allies that knows what’s really going with him is quite touching.

Unfortunately though that is not how her character has been portrayed up to this point. She has been shown to be a typical mean girl. Someone who lies, manipulates, bullies, blackmails, backstabs all for her own personal gratification.

Yes there has been one or two times where she has done something for the greater good or benefit of someone else, but sorry that ain’t enough when you come off as such a horrible, selfish person. And it boggles the mind why she is so adored, I just don’t get it!

@MyNameSans people who don't play chess or are not too good at it are also watching so I guess that's why the game wasn't "brilliant" in chess.com terms if you will

@Cross_MOON but like.. just pick a popular game of grandmasters then? No need to try if you don't know how to make an impressive chess game. If they just took a popular game in the chess history nothing would change for the avarage viewer but they'd make chess enthusiasts happy with the reference, while spending not much effort.

@TheEdward07 we can't expect everyone to understand a grandmaster level game when they only show the board for a few seconds. I thought the same though, I'd have loved to see a classic magnus vs hikaru on there

Just watched this episode and I was extremely impressed by the chess game in particular. I'm not the best chess player (around 2000 on chess.com), but finding those moves under time pressure is pretty impressive. Especially compared to what is typical of chess games in media (looking at you code geass), the game itself was interesting enough for me to pause and analyze the position. Although the first time they showed the whole board on dxe5 was kind of stupid since she immediately blundered afterward, the ending was fairly impressive in terms of a chess in media perspective. A lot of the time "good" chess games in media copy from actual games, but from what I can tell this is either a game someone came up with or came from a puzzle book of some sort, but I know damn well that I wouldn't find Qg5 under time pressure.

@Cross_MOON Noone needs to understand the chess game tho? Makes no diffrence to your understanding of the plot wheter you know any chess or not, its just an extra detail for people who know chess anyways so why not make it a nice extra detail.
