The identities of King and Pawn Gnosis pieces in Genshin Impact are a mystery.
Assuming every Archon in the game holds a Gnosis piece for their elements,
we are are left with couple of left over pieces.
If the queen, bishops, knights and rooks are for the seven regions and their archons,
what about the identities of the King and the 8 Pawns?
In this video, we will discuss who could be the owners of the King and the Pawn chess pieces.
During research, I noticed that there were many interesting correlations between Genshin Impact and the game of chess.
From the meanings of the individual pieces to even certain pieces having secret moves…
Surprisingly, I believe that the rules of chess falls in line with the story of Genshin Impact pretty well.
Even the reason why a “certain character” in Genshin Impact is going around taking Gnosis pieces from other archons.
Why is Tsaritsa taking all the Gnosis pieces from different archons in Teyvat?
Who knows… but maybe the rules of chess and their pieces could give us a deeper insight and hints for the future of the game.
Welcome to Genshin Theory.

P.S. The character in the thumbnail and in the video depicting “Tsaritsa” of Snezhnaya is actually a character from Honkai Impact 3 named Ekaterina, The Great Empress of Russia.
Interestingly, her character seems to closely resemble what we know of Tsaritsa.

This is by far the most ‘sense making’ and ‘possibly true’ theory 😌
the castling theory really does makes sense!! Nice theory.
You forgot to mention you can't castle out of check. Maybe the Tsaritsa is against the clock in a sense.
All the gods of each region are the parallels to Herrschers from Honkai Impact 3. Knowing this, we can predict what the rest of the elemental gods will be like. Venti looks similar to Wendy in Honkai. I think looking at the rest of the Herrschers, I can tell what the future gods in game will be. The genders can be different, but they will still look similar!(:
The next one will be electric and possibly look like Raiden Mei
Venti is the Queen, for it has the most freedom.
Zhongli is a Rook, because it is straightforward, and powerful.
Baal could be a Knight, because her power is not restrained by what the people or other Archons may think.
Murata could also be a knight, for her culture is unbound by the normal rules of justice, and only by victor and loser.
The God of Justice and the God of Wisdom will most likely be Bishops because the Bishop represents light and purity, with strength of will and foresight. Fontaine is the titan of the mechanical industry, as seen by the various products they've made, including the Kamera, which makes them seen as knowledgeable and refined. Sumeru, a land in which knowledge is the greatest power, would also be refined and cultured, which the Bishop would fit well into.
The Tsaritsa could be a Rook, because she controls the board. While she may not have freedom like Venti may, her power as the Rook is to put all the other pieces in check, to come to the greatest victory.
I've been thinking about this theory. I think its a very good one, except for your idea on the pawns. Why would the traveler only be 7 of them, and then have the traveler's sibling be only ond? I know you came up with a suggestion in the video, but here's my idea.
We know that Vanessa and Guhua arose to Celestia. Maybe each region has one person that has done this in the past, and while they are more powerful than any human, they are not as powerful as the archons and the Unknown God. So they're the pawns. But that's still only 7, but if the traveler were to ascend to Celestia some point during the game (presumably near the end) then that would be 8.
Sorry if there are any errors. Typing this on my phone and there were a lot of words in what I typed above that it didn't like.

A Game Theory!
Lumine said in the trailer "Outlanders don't belong to this world" that's why they been fucking everything up
i saw ekaterina
i clicked
This makes me think that pawns are just normal vision holders with specific element.
I think that the taresta has the king gnosis
Whos the girl in the thumbnail
I have a theory "The Cyro nation Archon" know a trick to overthrow the King of archons but before that she "desperately needs to remove other Archones since the king can "Command others" and maybe "The Cyro archon knows a way to deny will of King" 😥😥😥😥
venti couldve easily won the war, the catalyst 500 years ago, and Signora yoinking his gnosis if he just suffocates everybody. like cmon hes the anemo archon he can just command air not to go in his enemie's lungs
Im very late but when you said the 8 pawns represent the traveller in different elements. the 8th one might be the element before we get to the anemo statue, it has a cross symbol on it like a dont smoke sign and is grey.
Imagine if you fight your sibling with rock papers scissors and you fight The Tsaritsa with chess
We all thinking so mutch.
And at the end, we are maybe just forced to play a game of chess.
Take out all the players in order to get the king out in the open
why does no one think that the king might be PAIMON? If you search for Paimon, you will find that she is the ranked number 9th demon among the 72 demons in Solomon. Angels as well as many other demons all honor Paimon as a king, if you look back to the book"a drunkard's tale", that you can find the mondstat library and the dawn winery, you will read of a young maiden singing a beautiful song "that last singer, the first Seelie, they played their final tune in the hall of angles". Hmm, Paimon that acts like a Seelie, the size of a Seelie. The story also says tells that the Seelie's lived long before mankind and they'll disappear. That's probably why no one recognizes what Paimon exactly is in the game, she might be the only one who survived the extinction.
You can also find in the real book, "the lesser key of Solomon", that when Paimon appears a sacrifice must be made. The sacrifice might be the other sibling, that is why we can't find her.
It's just speculation tho.
Me: don't know what it mean ????
also my mind: yes that's right???
The missing "pawn" is Paimon duh! XD.
Give us NO GAME NO LIFE season 2 🙁
What if there are 9 elements. We are forgeting about darkness and light. It could be a secret
Genshin impact: No Game No Life
Youre so underrated
why does every one try to distribute 2 knights 2 bishops and 2 rooks ? there are 7 type of pieces in chess and 7 archons it seems like the more suitable comparison to me
plus the tsarista is either the king or the pawn the other pieces dont fit her
I was like: "Ekaterina????"
GENSHIN OF THRONES or GAME OF IMPACTS.
Me….wow
So it's no game no life now not genshin impact 😂😂😂
Am I the only one thinks that the other mc collected all the elements because of the vision colour. basically if you mix all colours of light. it will be white soooo idk?
Lol that completely makes sense
Venti is the pawn and the traveller the player of chess
I think all the vision wielders are represented by the pawn. all allogenes have the power to become an archon the same way a pawn can promote into a different piece. I agree that the king is probably the sustainer of heavenly principles or the overall god of tayvat.
who do u think is gonna die first in genshin👀😭
Wait….. It's been No Game No Life, all along?
Maybe paimon is the king! Think about it, paimon has all the knowledge and helps the pawn toward the end game. She speaks only the truth and holds knowledge on everything the world has to offer.she helps summon new heroes and helps the traveller travel anywhere. Although she is all powerful in some way, she can only move with the help of others.maybe the tsaristas isn't trying to bring God to the mortal realm, but move the god back to Celestia? Maybe the castling technique led her to the traveller and in moving from the god realm to the mortal realm she lost her memory? If so who was responsible for the move? I mean the crown on her head might be a giveaway as well as the patterns on the archon statues? Maybe paimon is the king and the archon that stole the travellers sister is the queen,able to move in any direction and act all powerful but in the end is still subservient to the almighty powerless king? But who knows after all, this is a genshin theory.
The only Genshin Impact content i need ❤️
What do you think about those people who has vision and those who are don't? Who are more important? "Maybe both doesn't matter". Maybe the tsaritsa is just the effector of the upcoming premonition for the world of Teyvat. The real thing lies in the false sky, why our wish is a gacha system which needs to be in constellations and finally the final game play between humanity vs the state of humanity 500 yrs ago prior to the Archon wars. Maybe we shall see that happening.
I love theory man
😦 Don't tell me the unknown god is the king and tsaritsa will unleashed her to this world destroyed it as she said she will end humanity
(I thought the throne in the sky would be for our future kid since it's not for us)
The 8tu element is our emergency food hahahahahahahahahhaha
