Bishops are terrifying in that game. I've lost more than a few to a retrograde checkmate.

For those confused, bishops step through 2 dimensions at a time. In a normal chess game, that is X&Y, making them move diagonally. In 5D chess it can be X &T, letting it check a king in the past. Since a king in the past can't move, it's a checkmate.

    Bishops got nothing on queens though. I managed to get a checkmate over x, y, t and p which was pretty amazing even though I was down several pieces and my kings were not in great positions.
