why does it apply to knights? they jump, they dont pass through any squares. you wouldnt be able to capture them had they landed a bit earlier because they cant land any earlier at all

[@jigyasbaruah1413]

They gotta nerf the knights

[@BryndanMeyerholtTheRealDeal]

Isn't there a game called Ultimate En Passant Chess, where everything can en passant (almost) everything. Also, since the knights jump over squares and doesn’t actually pass through them, then the knight shouldn't be able to be captured en passant.

[@TaiStar42]

Yes, I want to try it.

[@ianweckhorst3200]

Actually, I think the 2x3 rectangle of the move it just made should be capturable

[@GreenLemonGames]

Interesting. I think keeping the knights en-passantable was the right call though for maximum en-passant-ness

[@pialba]

@@GreenLemonGames the capturing two pieces at once thing feels weird, so I'd be in favor of no taking knights en passant

[@zixvirzjghamn737]

knights would only be en passantable by other kknights

[@samuelthecamel]

I like this chess variant a lot, it nerfs the queen pretty heavily.

Chess but your opponent switches to a new person in chat each move

[@TheGlaiveDominatrus]

That idea is gonna become a terrible one as soon as I execute my opening

[@aarnijarvelainen8499]

Shouldn't apply to knights

[@TlalocTemporal]

I agree, although that might make knights really powerful.

[@theominouspigeon]

hell passant

[@GTron13]

Holy en!

[@danielhoang289]

Great stuff! Rules interpretation question: 2:15 since your bishop captured his bishop before getting en-passanted by the knight, doesn't your opponent's bishop return to the game? Because effectively your bishop was captured before it reached the square to capture his bishop

[@bobbobert9379]

I don't think capturing en passant means the original move never happened.

[@danielhoang289]

@@bobbobert9379 It can mean that, in real life the person is getting captured as he tries to run all the way to his destination. So the en passant capture is intercepting his movement before he gets all the way there. In this case, his movement towards the enemy bishop to capture it

[@GreenLemonGames]

Yeah, there are definitely some conflicting rules. I think the most accurate interpretation would be like you described, but it would be pretty complicated to play lol

[@danielhoang289]

@@GreenLemonGames True, and it's probably more fun the way it was played in the video. Encourages more exchanges

[@JasonMitchellofcompsci]

I think this would be interesting with much much more experience. The piece values would be completely different. Like you weren't willing to trade a queen and a rook, but their value might be nearly the same.

[@brownpotato9405]

Imagine en passenting a piece that just en passented a piece that just en passented

[@GreenLemonGames]

holy hell

[@braytongoodall2169]

What's the value of a queen if only queen + pawn were victims of en passant? Is 6 points too much? The endgame potential should still eclipse the knight since long-range checks can't be blocked by threat of en passant capture, even though repeated checks could be deterred this way.

[@Mattyzer0]

Thats actually such a simple and great idea

[@Tytoalba777]

For added wildness: If an en passant is en passanted, the first piece that was captured should be uncaptured, but if the tier 2 en passant is itself en passanted, than the original captured piece is also removed

[@luckytrinh333]

Nice that you tried my idea!

[@GaryFerrao]

I think the knights should get a free pass. Because they jump, they don't actually pass through squares and you can't block them. On top of that, it's ambiguous anyway which path the knight took, which is why i think they were allowed to jump in the first place.

[@Zercuu]

How can I play this variant? 😅

[@RuyVuusen]

That's just the classroom function on the site (it allows you to edit the boardstate to better teach), and he manually edits the board to follow the rules.

[@locrianphantom3547]

Pawns are actually 🐐 in that variant.

[@realleonardgibson]

Great vid!

[@RuyVuusen]

That c3 at 4:58 was, in fact, very pointless and could have lost you a juicy exd4 en passant of the Queen.

[@BobChess]

This is very stupidly fun 💀

[@TaiStar42]

What if any pieces could castle?

[@Ivan_RUS-_-]

When the "on the aisle" rule went too far

[@toxic_youtube999]

Wow cool ❤❤❤

[@AceHalberjt]

fuse this with double-move

[@southerncyan4098]

This sounds horrible 😂
