He is blundering check-mate every move and his opponent missed the check mate every move, no wonder the accuracy was so low.

[@JamJam-ym6dk]

Accuracy grabbed a shovel and started digging to China

[@EliteCameraBuddy]

[@KayronTheFifth]

The real question is, why was Simp's accuracy so low? Must've been that knight he refused to sacrifice.

Plot twist: the black and white pieces were controlled chess simp all along

[@TylerWx]

I mean, it seems obvious that if the enemy king starts in your territory on your rook square then you should immediately converge on it to try to check mate instead of developing like a normal game where the enemy king starts on the other side of the board so I'd say the "I'm still better than my viewers" claim is valid.

[@ijpg-fd7qn]

fr tho, first thing I would've done is developed knights to try and find the smother mate

[@jackychen7769]

@@ijpg-fd7qn for me, I'd take out my queen and try to mate before he gets to develop too many pieces, moving as few pawns as possible. Then I'd get the knight near the king out of danger for future use. I'm an ex-low-intermediate player, so I'd probably try to win quickly but cautiously enough to keep my attackers safe; if the game draws out too long, regardless of his king's position, he'd probably outplay me with his developed pieces. As white, I'd take out my queen (taking black rook) and bishops to defend the king (moving as few pawns as possible, maybe pushing 2 spaces in hopes of diverting some attention to an undefended pawn and to threaten spaces closer to the fight), then try taking the knight by my king to remove a potential threat (unless I see the knight helps block a potential attack). I'm at a disadvantage and would probably lose to any decent player, but my strat from there would be to develop bishops and the nearest knight towards my king (defending but willing to trade aggressively since I'm likely ahead in material as they lost a rook). Past that is mid game, not sure what it'd look like, but if I blunder too many of my developed pieces, it's probably gg since my other pieces are too far to help and my king's too far from safety; otherwise, I'd try to trade the queens and 1 of the bishops in hopes of keeping my king safe from long ranged threats, then either escort my king towards my side of the board while threatening their king with my bishop and/or knight (sacking it if need be). Lastly, I'd hide behind pawns, and develop from there (probably an even field or a rook and some pawns in my favor if they let me do that much). If there's time involved, I may try to run them out the clock by pushing their king (if they haven't castled) or trade hard to make them hesitate.

Whats also funny how he tries to avoid checkmate by walking into the same checkmate

[@Ryan-yf9kg]

that guy is definitely a paid actor

[@Dark_Slayer3000]

That was a insane match. The viewer won in my eyes becasue he did the checkmate and would have won by reconnecting. But the stockfish move suggestions were just the best xD

[@Canalbiruta]

I'm legit still looking for stockfish's reasoning for those play like the blundering of the knight

[@Mibzorz]

​@@Canalbiruta I'm guessing it has something to do with developing his rook? If black takes knight b-file is open for rook after white takes c3. If black sees this and ignores in favor of long castle then knight is in play for further shenanigans down the line.

[@yetanother4138]

Stock fish: starting with e4 is a blunder because you could have had a checkmate in 27 with horse

[@wv4776]

Nh6 forks the royal family but also allows for bishop captures on h6 genius. Swear I’ve never seen a backseat chess commenter be right

[@dawsonmedlock716]

Actually Nf6, then if queen takes you do Be7 discovered check attacking the queen and black’s losing the queen and/or getting mated

[@WindyNight114]

2:48 Nf6+, Kh8, Qxf7, Bx7, Be7+ (discovered check by the rook), Bg8, Rxg8 mate Basically, the knight can check on f6 and force your king to move and that stops defending your queen. after that it's basically forced mate with the rook.

[@kulpreethoney5100]

Ok got backrank checkmate

Shoot there is a royal fork there...

[@aryanbehera2368]

What about kxg7 instead of Bg8?

[@dddkkk5242]

[@DevilishlyDutch]

That is the funniest move analysis I have ever seen

[@mintjuan]

Huh, this challenge looks the same as mine. The only difference is that Queen f8, Bishop g8. The purpose for this is to fully contain the King without letting him eat a free piece (or pawn) and give Simp a choice to either lose a Queen and go bishop c4 to delay mate in 5 or take the rook and risk the mate in 3.

[@gianlucatartaro1335]

2:46 moving your queen there is blundering a royal fork from the knight

[@krishnamadhughneshtankasal1163]

100 rated chess but your queen always have to defend at least two pieces (also you are only allowed to use the queen to deliver checkmate).

[@acidd4681]

Black: *doesn't go NF6 first turn* My brain cells: "alright, ima go now"

[@wv4776]

Nf6 blocks the Queen from joining the attack right away. He literally says after taking the knight it’s forced mate in three because the queen has that diagonal. Black made probably the best opening move the real head scratcher is why they made their second move

[@thethirdjegs]

Pitch idea: lets play "im better than my viewers" If i lose, you'll have a video which will persist into the endgame. Everybody happy.
