Video Date: June 28, 2023

In this video, DougDoug creates an AI based on Napoleon Bonaparte and has Chat play a game of chess with it, with one simple twist: Napoleon and only Napoleon is allowed to cheat in whatever way he wants.
  • Artificial Stupidity: Napoleon isn't the brightest. Multiple of his maneuvers involve moving pawns to random spots on the board or taking pawns, when his more important pieces are in danger. It all culminates in the Napoleon Ultra Paradox — one of the most self-destructive move's he's ever made, as it moves his entire army right next to the opposing sides king... including his king, which results in an immediate Checkmate.
  • Cultural Posturing: Napoleon will not shut up about how fabulously French he and his army are, and about how that's emblematic of his side's superiority over Chat.
  • Mundane Made Awesome: Halfway through the match, Doug instructs Napoleon to give names to each of his moves, resulting in badass names like the "Savoyarde Strike" or "Fierce Flandering Flash" being given to pretty simple chess moves.
  • Running Gag: Napoleon constantly mentioning his vibrating anal beads that bestow him the cheating powers. When he usually fails his moves, he blames it on the generals.
  • Shout-Out: The constant mentions of anal beads harkens back to the infamous rumor about chess player Hans Niemann, who was accused of cheating in a match using Bluetooth anal beads of all things. While Hans was quickly ruled out to not have access to that, Napoleon definitely does.
