I Challenged Eric Rosen to DRAWBACK Chess!

[@mikemartin5340]

Move 40, hasn’t moved a knight: *maybe his rule is that his rooks can’t move!* 😊

[@hannahsayce1]

😅 too funny

[@Jesin00]

​@@brianlakeberg1768I've seen plenty of men make silly mistakes like that. People might say "wow, you're bad at this" but nobody says "wow, men are bad at this". But whenever a woman makes a mistake, sexists like you crawl out of the woodwork to blame her entire gender. It's such an obvious double standard. We all see what you're doing and you're not slick.

[@thefranChise1]

Hannah trying to guess what the drawback is while being completely wrong perfectly encapsulates the chess player experience

[@stvia]

Odd is just how certain she is about her guess while simultaneously basing that assumption on basically nothing and then taking huge risks. it's mindboggling

[@hannahsayce1]

I mean, I took one pawn to work out whether I was right, and figured out I wasn't from that lol. :D I know it seems really silly but I just had seen the "cant move further than the pawns" drawback before but not the "can't move horseys" drawback, so was fixated on that :').

[@rocker1260]

The thing is, you even mentioned that it could be "can't move rooks", but realize he moved his rooks already. So the leap to "can't move knights" wasn't so big. He is an IM and didn't develop his knights by move 20, you should get sus.

[@hannahsayce1]

hahah yep! oh well, I didn’t notice, but I’m glad you guys had fun 😁

[@brianlakeberg1768]

​@hannahsayce1 the only two pieces he had on the back rank was his two knights that hadn't moved once. I looked in the database... that's never happened before.

The quality is nice for a relatively small channel, well done! Most people wouldn't bother with syncing two streams, cutting out their opponent webcams and then switching between the two audio tracks of commentary, but it did make it much more enjoyable to watch.

thanks for the kind comment! ☺️ Glad you enjoyed the video

[@ChessVisualisationAcademy]

Ha that was edge of the seat stuff. Your opponent was definitely 'saddled' with the easier drawback 🐎, classic case of 'knight-mares' on the board 🙈. Loved it! 😂

[@hannahsayce1]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Troll_Marauder]

I was thrilled to see a Hannah Versus Eric games live. I love to watch these Collab videos, and this was a very fun event to watch live, and I'm so ecstatic for the potential of more of these types of Chess Variant Videos and Livestreams in the Future. 😊

[@hannahsayce1]

so much fun! Definitely have to try this again :D

[@sudlow3860]

This is the most engaging chess variant I have come across. Thanks again for a great video.

[@hannahsayce1]

Thankyou so much for watching!

[@WingedEspeon]

If you really don't like a drawback you can give it thumbs down and you won't get it again.

[@hannahsayce1]

oh interesting!

[@grogboggoth]

More fun to watch than to play. Hugely entertaining here but I suspect that I would find it irritating.

[@hannahsayce1]

glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@NotQuiteFirst]

That was great. I've watched Rosen play this on his channel, but it's much better seeing both players at the same time like this, hilarious listening to them try to guess what the drawback is. I wish they would have a version of this where both players have the same drawback. It would be a different type of game in which it's a level playing field but it's about trying to cleverly exploit the condition to force your opponent into a difficult situation.

[@hannahsayce1]

glad you enjoyed this video! And that’s a great idea, there’s definitely some fun in the mystery and guessing what your opponent’s drawback is, but having the same drawback would be an interesting strategical battle!

[@Tzizenorec]

Well, at that point you're just playing a chess variant. The possibility of the two players having _different_ drawbacks is kind of the point of the "Drawback Chess" variant in particular, I think.

[@Abhyuday.]

It was a really entertaining video, and I enjoyed watching it. :) Drawback Chess is a really cool variant of chess. Some rules are tricky, but things become familiar once you play a couple of games. Always love these collabs with Eric Rosen. He's awesome and so nice. Excellent work with the thumbnail and editing by adding his perspective to the video as well.

[@hannahsayce1]

thanks so much, and yes, my editor did a great job 😊

[@usualhumanxd353]

this is so funny :D great content! challenges are incredibly fun. Could you do more of this pls?) and dual commentary especially is 11/10. Extra work but it's so cool. p.s: i just found your channel and subscribed) Btw, i love your eyes :) kinda hypnotizing to see two differently colored eyes

[@hannahsayce1]

More to come!

[@willylc6056]

I love this concept for some reasons for variety in games creativity i think they should be aware of the list of drawbacks and particularly how it works though while they play so they start making more tactical decision definitely feels like this game mode is at it preliminary stage to help bring enjoyment over it conventional classical chess. First game though she did better ( the rule wasn't specific when the lose condition triggers unfortunately) compared to the second one if you're really engage you can argue your case that you're still the better one if it convincing hahaha, the rules were harder for hannah you know

[@hannahsayce1]

Glad you enjoyed it! I'll definitely try it again to work out some strategies for different drawbacks :D

[@MyBiPolarBearMax]

9:20 Playing a game without two knights is not a “Relatively Easy” drawback 😂

[@hannahsayce1]

I said 'both of ours were relatively "easy"', referring to the rating assigned to those by the developers. It wasn't my opinion, just stating the difficulty they were assigned as :D

[@MyBiPolarBearMax]

@@hannahsayce1 no, i agree, the developers are crazy that not having two pieces but they still sit as bricks is a “relatively easy” drawback lmao

[@minchy9094]

How does the knight move?

[@brianlakeberg1768]

How many times have you seen an entire game played without your opponents moving their knights? imagine playing against that and not noticing it LOL

[@Abhyuday.]

It's very easy to say, "haha, you couldn't decode that not moving the knights was his drawback". What if Eric's drawback was actually not moving any pieces ahead of his pawns? It would be a brilliant prediction by her. And again, it was just her 1-2 game for Drawback Chess. When you read the rules, you get to know that a lot of drawbacks are possible. Many of them are very difficult to predict. Also, it's very easy to be biased towards a particular drawback when you know it's possible from previous games/videos. There's no need be negative when somebody is playing/learning something new! :)

[@brianlakeberg1768]

@abhyuday. generally the knight moves within the first 2 moves. If no knight moved by even move 6 its a dead giveaway.
