@Jimsock1 I mean. In the webcomic version she admits outright it's completely intentional...

“It’s shota x onee!” Noticed the perceptive readers
@NaturalTalentless This could very well be the opening stage of a grandmaster level game, or a game between top players from before grandmasters were even a thing. The Ruy Lopez is that much of a classic. Because it's such a classic it's also a safe and appropriate choice for an amateur game, at least for the opening stage. These moves are so basic that any players with at least some level of instruction - such as Master-kun, who was taught to play by his father - would be likely to know them. They are equally plausible for a game of the next World chess championship. Maybe not likely, depending on who actually competes - the current World Champion is a bit of an oddball who tries to avoid extremely well-researched and reputable openings when playing White because they're too well-researched and analyzed. But that doesn't belong in the category of "outdated". This opening is not outdated, and is unlikely to ever be.
The position on page 318 is even more common - so common it's not even named. White has to make another move before it makes sense to ask "Which opening is this?". There is a number of openings it can't be anymore (such as the ones starting with the queen's pawn), but still too many others to tell.
The author likely made a conscious choice to skip the later stages of the game, when you would be able to notice a mismatch between the skill level of the game and the skill level of its players.

@Silfir, ah I wasn't trying to say the opening is outdated nor unusable, I was just giving suggestions if the author has mis followed the opening.
Though since it looks like it's pretty clear the author is emulating Ruy Lopez, then the differences should just be unintended.
Oooo the current world champion sounds interesting, does that mean he has his own kind of opening strategy? Is it only the openings that are different? Is that why he is world champ - why catching people off guard and gaining an advantage in the early stages?

So cuteeeee😍
@NaturalTalentless
Kind of the exact opposite. White starts with a slight advantage, because they get to make the first move. All the well-researched, most played openings are based on the premise that White tries to hold on to that slight advantage and potentially stretch it into an actual win as the game goes on and Black makes missteps.
What Magnus Carlsen often does is deviate from these extremely well-trodden lines and choose a move that isn't quite as well-researched, because what research there is has concluded that it just isn't quite as good - it allows Black to "equalize", reach a completely balanced position. It's usually not even an unknown move. It will be one that's in every book on the opening in question - but there's just a paragraph or two about, rather than ten pages. It will be far less thoroughly researched, and far less frequently played.
The reason he does this is because doing so effectively ends the "opening" stage of the game, which is usually advantageous to player who do a ton of opening analysis and have enormous opening knowledge, and forces the opponent to "play normally", as in, think about the position at hand and analyze it without the benefit of any previously obtained computer analysis.
Chess clocks only have limited time for each player, so the player who "thinks better" is more likely to win from an equal position with equal time. Magnus Carlsen essentially trusts that nobody "thinks better" than him - has higher natural ability - so he purposely gives up some of his potential advantage as White just to force his opponents to start thinking rather than playing moves from memory.
Arrogant? To think you're the best player in the world as long as nobody has the advantage of hours of hard work doing home-prepared analysis? You could call that arrogant, but he's the World Champion, so it's not like anyone's proven him wrong!

It was as much fun reading your replies as reading the actual episode. There's stuff I still don't get, but it's always fascinating to read someone who knows what they are talking about.
Also, the thing with the actual world-champ is really funny. Guy flexing in every first move.
