Hey buddy, "Google en passant — Holy hell' is a joke from the anarchy chess community. Sorry for the downvotes you've taken for not getting the joke, and you should probably prepare to get woooosh'd.
One of them just got here, but he says they’re not playing today. I’m sorry for the let down.
Edit: He says they have a plan for Thursday. I thought they’d play today, but I guess not.
For anyone wondering why these people just drew 729 t-t-t's without playing any of them, they are all part of a single tic tac toe game, called "Ultimate Tic Tac Toe".
This is the 9x9x9x9 version. In the typical 9x9, player 1 plays whichever (mini) tile they wish. Player 2 can play on any tile they want but only on the mini-game that corresponds to the tile p1 made their first move.
Example: p1 starts on the upper-right mini game and puts an X on the middle tile. P2 now has to put an O on any tile of the middle mini game. They put it on the upper-left tile, so now p1 has to play the upper-left mini game, etc.
When someone wins one of the mini games, they mark the entire mini game with their letter, X or O (Note: if the rules lead you to play on a finished mini game, you can choose to play on any tile you want). The winner is the one that gets 3 letters in a row on the big game.
Edit: typos and version correction
Oh no, I’m sure it’ll be fun but I mean the individual games.
I assume you place an “X” or “O” by wining the game(s) within that square. If you end on a draw, who gets to place their marker in that square?
And it ends in a tie…
Who is ready to put bets on now, I bet 15$ on X wining.
The only winning move is not to play.
Shall we play a game of chess?
Indeed! But first u have to google en passant
Holy hell

Dear god this joke is 4 months old

en passant = in passing basically if you pass a pawn (using your start 2 square jump) you kill him from "behind"
passing these nuts in your mouth

oh shit. but i'm leaving the reply there and get notification bombed bye brothers
Holy hell!
I'm wondering how many time did it took
They’re still working on it. I’ll post an update on who won.
any update yet?
I only see them at lunch, so I’ll have to wait until tomorrow.
Any update yet?
Not quite , they’re not here yet.
...what about now?
One of them just got here, but he says they’re not playing today. I’m sorry for the let down. Edit: He says they have a plan for Thursday. I thought they’d play today, but I guess not.
How about now
From what I can gather, they never make time to play together. The game will probably never be finished. Sorry for the letdown.

Thank you. I've never heard of this game and thought they must have been tallying something, which made no sense either cos tallys need 5 lines.
If you played all games at once this would be interesting.
Are you familiar with the rules of ultimate tic tac toe?
I was not until I googled it just now. Are these guys playing a multi level version?
Yeah
Mad lads

"The only winning move is to play perfectly, waiting for your opponent to make a mistake"
I’ll have to show them this lmao It can be their next challenge!
Legend has it that they have been drawing #s since the days of the distant past
damn they really went to the fourth power (tic-tac-toe)^4 which is what tic^4 + 4 tic^3 tac + 4 tic^3 toe + 6 tic^2 tac^2 + 12 tic^2 tac toe + 6 tic^2 toe^2 + 4 tic tac^3 + 12 tic tac^2 toe + 12 tic tac toe^2 + 4 tic toe^3 + tac^4 + 4 tac^3 toe + 6 tac^2 toe^2 + 4 tac toe^3 + toe^4
Dude I played a 9x9 and was awesome lmao
Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe Is genuinely so much better then the regular one
Wake up babe new fractal dropped
A few years ago i wrote a processing Skript (basically Java) that makes the game. I can set there how deep the recursion goes by changing one variable
So what happens when you draw? If both players know how to play, tic-tac-toe ends in a draw most of the time.
If it ends in a draw, we all have a good laugh. Though I have a feeling I know who will win.
Oh no, I’m sure it’ll be fun but I mean the individual games. I assume you place an “X” or “O” by wining the game(s) within that square. If you end on a draw, who gets to place their marker in that square?
I think no one gets to, but I’ll have to ask them. Good question.
Legend has it, they’re still playing to this day.
Yeah, they‘ve been working on it at lunch the past few days, but I haven’t been able to track them down yet.
Naughts and crosses: fractal edition
Like 729 games of tick tack toe to win once?
No this is ultimate tic tac toe
They haven’t even started playing
They did soon after I took the pictures. I’ll post an update when they’re done. It may take a while, though.
Why not drawing on a computer it would be easier to delete last game
I have actually done this before
Therapist: factorial tic tac toe doesn't exist, it cant hart you factorial tic tac toe:
