  That ending felt like the pawns became big minded and realized they could move however they wanted. The pawns can think bigly and the troll can no longer stop them

  If you took a sip of beer every time iwc forgets how the pawns move, you&apos;d die of alcohol poisoning halfway through the video

  There&apos;s a bug exploit you can do to make this much easier. <br><br>Whenever you discover a slippery tile, place the black king on it. It will say you cheated and will try to checkmate you, but since he can only play once and always tries to checkmate you with the black king, the black king will just get back up without doing anything. <br><br>By doing this, you can take down all the pieces one by one, since whenever you take down black king, a new one replaces an existing black piece.

  He calls himself &apos;I want checkmate&apos; but if you ask me it seems like what he really wants is &apos;Goose&apos;<br><br><br><br><br><br>Goose is definitely my favorite side-character on this channel though so I&apos;m cool with it

  If I remember correctly, for this ending, it isn&apos;t necessary for the ascended pawns be exclusively yours. You could use the cheating chances to forcibly promote your opponent&apos;s pawns as well.<br><br>Edit: according to the replies, it seems to have been patched out, so that only your own ascended pawns count. Iwantcheckmate got the rules right this time 😮
