[@char1194]

Actually a really balanced challenge for once, nice

[@DandDgamer]

Was thinking the same. Stuff like "when you do a move undo it teehee" gets really tiring. This restricts movement, but in a way you can toggle reasonably at will. Very clever challenge

[@blackbird351]

Balanced because his opponent also obeying the rules wasn't required. Most of these challenges would be made better by this standard.

[@Wylie288]

@@blackbird351 I like the ones where the opponent can do something stupid to end it though. Adds suspense and some really good wtf moments

[@ahlpym]

I probably would have made the bishops themselves exempt from the rule, since they're suppose to be the ones defining it. With that, you could always move your own bishops to change the Church color as needed. I think that was the intent behind the challenge. But this stricter interpretation was also interesting, and more impressive.

[@HalIOfFamer]

Definitely since it's obey the church and not conform to church. Church is the legislative power and the rest of the pieces are the vassals.

[@yavoralexandrov4367]

[@XFizzlepop-Berrytwist]

@@yavoralexandrov4367 Which is fun, but also too restricting at times, he could probably get a couple videos out with, “Intent” of the challenge, over “wording” of the challenge.

[@cameronschyuder9034]

[@JimmyBoosterCrate]

[@arsenusthearsenalswagus4200]

The first half of the video went too smoothly for simp that it was natural to suspect that his opponent was a paid actor. But he made it harder for the rest of the game, so I guess, that makes him a half-paid actor.

He said it’s 16xx

[@Cripplified]

Definitely higher. I don't think he's like 1900+ but he definitely is in the 1500-1700 range. I don't think you can logically do these challenges if you're below 1500.

[@matttondr9282]

I’m 1300 and this guy seems to be a lot better than me so I’d say at least 1500.

[@elithzy]

Did you just queenrolled us?

[@0ctaviaPony]

I like this because you have to think about if you want to take the opponents bishops or not, because they are integral in allowing you to actually play on other colored spaces, and you have to think about getting use out of your own bishops before they become dead pieces. If you take their white bishop for instance, your white bishop can no longer be moved once your opponent moves their black bishop

[@walemaa5631]

The very first bishop is a martyr, so everyone got inspired by him and his teaching and, literally, WAY if life

[@ElRectalo]

2:25 It's a light square, but A bishop can still take, cause it's a bishop?

[@idonnow2]

Simp seems to have assumed that the rule only counts for the opponent's bishops, which actually made the challenge harder so it's cool

[@MrCheeze]

@@idonnow2 His own bishop still changes what colour he can move his own pieces to, but that can only ever comes up if his opponent hasn't moved a bishop yet. I'm sure the challenger intended to make all bishops able to move freely but this was more interesting.

[@victory7302]

He was still going for checkmate so switching to light right then and there would’ve been dumb

[@Js-eq7yd]

The other guy was doing a challenge to see how many times they could blunder their queen and not have you take it

[@setomikey]

Chess, but you must win by checkmate, while there are at least 4 queens on the board.

[@SyrKonrat]

Congratulations on your victory captain, now for the next challenge.

[@realmeme6]

[@Person-ef4xj]

2:15 white has mate in 1 according to the challenge as if white plays Qxf7+ black can't get out of check while also following the rules of the challenge.

[@kosame3236]

Well, it’s not that that hard. That’s what she said

[@jayaram2u]

Chess, but you have to compulsorily move your pawn every alternative move till you exhaust all of the pawns (or till no more pawn moves possible)

[@Koshak87]

2:25 - it’s bishop move, so, technically, fine.

[@danielhoang289]

I see you interpreted the order of operations differently. You're interpreting it as: (1)Move a piece (2)Does it match the latest bishop color? Then it's fine and his light bishop would match itself by default But Simp always goes for the harder interpretation. Simp's order of operations is: (1)Check what the last bishop move was (2)Simp's only legal moves are moves that end up on that color (therefore his light Bishop has no legal moves)

[@RR-sb8tm]

@@danielhoang289 or, simply in the spirit of the original prompt, one can assume that since bishops define the rules, they can move on their own.

[@pikgears]

I figured bishops would be able to move regardless, since they are the church

[@maartenbakker8311]

This one is much similar to a previous challenge: You have to move a random piece. Every. Single. Turn. But... this time, only the pieces that are able/allowed to move are selected in the randomizer pool. Be sure to take enough time for this challenge (with increment or the right time-format in general) to be sure you don't flag.

[@legueu]

The Saragossa opening, also known as: I hate the Queenside knight.

[@lzee7086]

3:38 you move the knight to a light square. But then you begin moving pieces on dark squares. You switched it at the end my dude. Edit: I realized you’re following HIS bishops move. Gotcha

[@TaliyahP]

It was technically a time win but let's be real that was in spirit a checkmate

[@ethanbeck5535]

Chess, but you can’t move any pieces backwards

[@zakesters]

More religiously themed challenges... Ecumenical Council: If your opponent moves a bishop, you must next move the opposite bishop. Reformation: Move your bishops only onto attacked squares, capture both opponent's bishops before 'mating. Pilgrimage of Grace: Capture the opponent's rooks and knights with pawns or bishops, then 'mate with a pawn or bishop. Great Awakening: Don't move your bishops at all, promote at least two pawns to bishops (you can move these new bishops freely.)

[@namanhnguyen8199]

Chess, but the pieces you use to checkmate your opponent must stand in a horizontal line

[@gwentarinokripperinolkjdsf683]

This could actually just be a cool variant. prevent checkmate by making a random bishop move on the other side of the board to deny the square!

[@carealoo744]

What about 100 rated chest but it's like checkers, and you can only move your pieces backwards if they reach the farthest rank of the board

[@robertgrau1209]

At 1:19 you move kf6, but that knight is on a dark square, the last bishop who moved is on a light square. And even if you reverse the colors, at 2:00 you move a dark squared piece. So the rules had been broken. But anyway - I love your content

[@jaideepshekhar4621]

Yeah. He moved TO a dark square.

[@traguna00]

As someone who loves chess, but has never been quite good enough to do tournaments (with any consistency), finding this whole new world of ways to play chess is very exciting. Bravo dude.

[@phoebecp]

2:25 I would think u can just take the queen with ur bishop here since the bishops r in charge

[@MaxwellCatAlphonk]

Chess, but if your pieces move to a different colored square than the one they were standing on, they may only move on that new colored square until the opponent moves his king. After that, they can switch color square again and then have to wait for opponents king again etc

[@Snoflakes_1]

I've got a good one: You have to put all your pieces and pawns (except one bishop) on one color of squares, then trade off the bishop of the other color. After that the game continues as normal.

[@peterhawes9680]

I don't know if you've done this, but I suggest always having to move to the opposite colour from your opponent's last destination square. Lots of potential moves, but if Queen takes your Queen, you're screwed unless there's a nice inbetween check....

[@aaavvv2862]

actually checkmate with pawn and last move breaking the challenge is kind of perfect way to end the video.

I’m not trying to backseat judge; in-fact you’ve gotten me into chess. Can I ask; at 3:05, why didn’t you move your queen to E4. If I’m correct that’d make a checkmate. Or is there something I’m not seeing.
