In this video, I play against IM Levy Rozman (Gotham Chess) in Samay Raina's fascinating new variant: Poison Pawn Chess. Here are the rules...
-Before the game we each secretly select a single non-center pawn to be our poisoned pawn.
-If a player's poisoned pawn is captured at any point, that player wins -- but with one exception: If a player uses their poisoned pawn to capture the opponent's poisoned pawn, then it is considered a win.
- In our first game we played, poisoned pawns are not allowed to capture pieces. In the subsequent two games, poison pawns are allowed to make captures.
While the rules seemed a bit confusing at first, we quickly on the hang of it and had some epic battles...

Congrats on your winning *19999th* game on lichess! 👌

[@chelseaoverton1139]

Hard to say which of the two variants I like better. The poisoned pawn not being able to capture could lead to some really fun bluffs, but also gives a lot of information away. Love the variant though, it was very tense. Your move with that C pawn was amazing and I'm surprised Levy picked up on it.

[@literal-tree]

@@chelseaoverton1139 true,, although i think the version where poisoned pawns can't take is flawed since the game can't be won via a poisoned pawn taking the other poisoned pawn if both players choose the same pawn

[@MusicPlaylistsChannel]

Wasn't the rule in the 2nd game that the poisoned pawn can't capture anything besides the opponent's poison? So that number 17 move taking the bishop, shows it's not poisoned...

33:08 was a brilliant move, Eric guessed right that the c pawn was Levy poison pawn and the only reason for Levy to not take this pawn was if the c pawn was Levy's poison pawn. Eric could know almost for sure the c pawn is Levy's poison pawn but Levy couldn't know if eric fake it. Impressive stuff!

[@harshkumarf4379]

yeah absolutely ,,,and i think what samay said about queen taking the bishop was even more crazy yet wonderful ,,, eric would never have taken that queen

[@dominiks5068]

I agree that it was smart by Eric, but wasn't it actually a bad move? if Levy had captured with the queen (which would have been the logical continuation after he figured out Eric's plan) Eric would have been unable to re-capture with his pawn, so he would have just lost a bishop...

[@leadnitrate2194]

[@halfaheartbongobongo]

I think a good strategy for this variant at some point in the middlegame is to just push the poisoned pawn as far as possible (especially if you can stop it from getting locked). Imagine getting a pawn to the 6th or 7th rank without any responsibility to defend it, and the opponent must blockade it to prevent it from promoting. Also I prefer the variant where poisoned pawns cant capture - because it makes it possible to get information without putting the entire game on the line (for instance, if you think one of the pawns is poisoned, you can try moving a minor piece in front of it to see if it will capture)

[@literal-tree]

i really hope they add this as a variant one day
