Unironically probably the best a challenge has gone for Simp in a while. Straight interpretation, no coward moves, no fast forwarding.

no disconnections either, peak chess simp content honestly

[@user-ti4di1uh2d]

I thought I was hallucinating a bit when I didn’t see checkmate pop up.

[@n0br.a1n]

same I thought how else can he block the check lol

[@thefilthycasual6358]

Same I paused the video there and studied the position because I couldn't understand why that wasn't checkmate. Eventually I decided it had to be checkmate and unpaused the video.

[@philippeklein7876]

There is a bishop a million miles away

[@arifezwan8893]

I hate how it sometimes happen during a real match too. It may seem like a mere delay of 1 second, but that single second is where I placed my hope in it being some lag and not that it's not a checkmate

[@rraimundobruno]

The most surprising part of the challenge was the opponent not randomly moving the other knight just to mess with Simp's plans

[@batlrar]

I knew that knight was coming out the moment you moved yours and thus reminded the 100 rated player that it exists.

If opponent's knight goes to afterlife then your pieces must move closer to afterlife

[@chri-k]

No, if the knight is taken it's now in the bottom left corner, in the captured material list

[@chri-k]

@@the_multus I guess that is true. Afterlife happens to have a physical location in chess

[@ruanpingshan]

2:25 I also didn't see your queen!

[@oicmorez4129]

Ironically, taking the knight is moving as close to it as possible

[@RaceBandit]

2:30 | I should probably be surprised the challenge didn't already bar capturing Knights.

[@Pepso8P]

Fun challenge + satisfying ending = great video.

[@sonofgaming1546]

Great video and fun checkmate The casteling is a bit iffy. But honestly moving two pieces at once, one equidistant the other closer did reduce the total distance of all pieces to the knight

[@smippycis6285]

I don't think castling is iffy because you castle by clicking on the king, and not the rook. By design then it is a King move not a rook one. Atleast by program lol

[@idonnow2]

this is the canon interpretation

[@Gitah92]

Castling is interesting. It should be a rare occurrence during this challenge. That this popped up during the only game simp would play with this restriction is a treat.

[@mayebeline1149]

@@smippycis6285: It's not just "by program", it's by the FIDE rules of Chess. Castling is a King move.

[@MrCheeze]

Castling is officially a king move, and the king moved strictly closer, so we're good. I'd consider it valid even if the rook moved farther away.

SIMP CALLED A PAWN A "PIECE" @2:57

[@basteala525]

I think he was referring to activating his dark square bishop.

[@k_k_aisa]

This is one of the best challenge videos, especially the bit at 2:04 . I was so focused on the overloaded piece narration, I didn't see the Queen either. Clever bit.

[@yanntoutcourt913]

[@KjeldSchmidt]

"And he also didn't see my Queen." lmao

[@Kirokill1]

This is one of your best videos so far

[@RupertAndCheese]

Taking the active knight would mean you can't move next turn (unless he moved the other knight), because you can't move closer to a dead piece. Unless of course you count moving closer to the bottom-left, where taken pieces are displayed.

[@basteala525]

This was a really good one. I appreciate the knowledge of king movement here for a neat finish.

[@lukyli]

Very nice challenge. Should put up a vote if a challenge is good or bad, then give the people that suggested the challenge a "+1"

[@locoludwin3228]

What for?

[@goblinv4039]

100 rated chess but your pieces felt guity after they had killed the enemies. They fell in sorrow and could not move.

[@Infarlock]

"And he also didn't see my queen" I admit

Well done, that seemed difficult.

Man what a challenge! 😲

[@Lillyluri]

That was elegant.

[@Ligrec]

I would like to propose a new metric for measuring distance, that is the 'rings' around the target squares. i.e. the eight squares touching the target square are of distance one, the 16 ones touching those are distance two etc. I feel this is more intuitive imo, and also reflects the different ways of the pieces to move

Ah, the L-infinity norm. We meet again.

[@daveshn]

But your rook moved when it was castled and it was the same distance.

[@theuseraccountname]

2:30 Capturing the knight would end your video if they didn't move their remaining knight next move. You couldn't move closer to a captured piece, as it's not even on the board anymore.

Nice try, but Simp was obviously referring to the Dark Square Bishop when he said he was bringing in another piece.

[@user-re6zi7vz7j]

Guys look at the menu at the left

[@crowreligion]

2:36 I think that's legal That is moving into distance 0, and he can whenever move the other knight so it's not coward

Simp plays a real game against a 2000 with commentary, Let’s GOOO!

[@delqyrus2619]

The challenge said "closer" not "closest" - so at least if you are closer to the knight as in the previous position every move should be legal. But just as i prefer my steak: Well done.

[@Knighterforker]

Day 8 Chess,but the game can only end with a bishop and knight checkmate

[@lekhramdhakar1799]

The opponent will resign before that so don't ask about a foolish challenge

[@syockit]

I actually interpreted that as trying to find a move closest to the knight among all pieces and pawns, which means move 3 is limited to Ng4 or Ne4. And the next move would be to push the pawns on g or e file (unless the knight moved elsewhere or the other knight moved).
