Which Side Is Left

[@lockaltube]

Missed the opportunity to force a draw with 50 moves in the last game

[@RoundShades]

So true.

[@ninck8992]

Could have won as well by forcing the king out of the h file

[@moralhazard8652]

@@ninck8992 Except that's impossible with the white h pawn no longer on h2. The white king can just move into checks along the h file, nothing simp can do about that. Maybe there's a chance for a draw by repitition but no wins.

[@lanychabot-laroche135]

Could also have done a stalemate pretty easily

[@emirkorkmaz9695]

​@@ninck8992 and how will they do that?

[@Faselbob]

The first game's drawbacks made for an interesting combination. I don't think the opponent really understood either drawback though.

[@RoundShades]

"I cannot move my pieces next to where they are moving from" "Funny, I can't either!"

[@batuarganda728]

"Oh you're running away?" "I cant beat the shit out of you without some distance"

[@joshuamoyer3327]

TBH you have to respect the testosterone of the second opponent. He could have tried to avoid his drawback, but instead he began capturing as early as possible like a true barbarian.

[@vegetalss4]

I really liked that first game. Your two drawbacks interacted in a very interesting manner, and for once I think the game was enhanced instead of worsened by the series premise of revealing drawbacks.

[@jaideepshekhar4621]

Same. I liked these drawbacks.

[@maurifz]

I haven't seen the video yet but I predict a winrate of 100%

[@kajetansmolinski3560]

what a blunder, of course simp can easly make 200% or even 300% winrate

[@kajetansmolinski3560]

so of course, it blunders a comment

[@giancarlothebest2190]

Well he was right

[@Eric_The_Cleric]

God tier prediction.

[@lillyflower7834]

theoretically you could have captured all of your opponent's pieces in that last game till they had no legal moves other than moving their king

[@jason2mate]

Do you understand that the king doesn't have to move to the left and make itself capturable?

[@lockaltube]

King will move along H rank. But it would be a draw after 50 moves

[@paulvansommeren]

it could always move up or down

[@paulvansommeren]

@@lockaltube oh yeah of course

[@DrFlash-oi6ju]

They can just move the king forwards. You can walk into "check" in this version of chess

[@nathankurtz8045]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="73">1:13</a> already blundered checkmate, the opponent can check and subsequently capture the king with dark bishop. Simp needed to move the C pawn, A pawn, or B knight so that the opponent couldn't put their bishop on B4 without capturing. edit: Simp's knight can block the check, but the king can't move out of the way, the queen and bishop can't interpose, and the pawns can't capture, so the opponent can still capture the knight and then the king.

[@AelfricBlack]

Man, all three games are so good in this one. It’s really great watching you come up with creative strategies against the drawbacks. You’re officially my go-to KZbinr for meals!

[@derAlphabet]

The first video where all opponents counter revealed? Nice

[@kaischreurs2488]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="595">9:55</a> could've gone for stalemate

[@Soulavenger69]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="66">1:06</a> Pretty sure d4 just blunders Mate in 2, good thing the opponent didn't see it. (Bb4 if you don't see it)

[@Lyrewyn]

Bb4 is a killer move regardless: even with a pawn on d2 it will capture the king within three moves. White doesn't have the time to defend the square from a non-adjacent square or to castle (which is the only legal king move). I think 1. ... e6 and 2. ... Bb4 is a forcing win for black if white's drawback is revealed at the start of the game. White doesn't have the time to defend the b4 square from a non-adjacent square, or to castle.

[@Soulavenger69]

@@Lyrewyn Nah it's defendable with a simple Nf3 as long as you don't move the d pawn.

[@danielobrien5255]

First game you blundered very early, Bb4 was mate as you couldn't move your king or most pieces to defend it due to the drawback, could only block with knight which would be taken and unable to recapture due to drawback (can't move to adjacent squares)

[@spencerhiginbotham7538]

You got a pretty favorable matchup in the first game. Normally, with your drawback, your opponent could just move their pieces right next to yours, and you couldn't take them, but their drawback prevented that.

[@tabuskor4633]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="60">1:00</a> i paused the video to reread and understand his drawback. concluded it was too hard for me to understand and then unpaused just to have chess simp say he doesnt understand neither

[@CiaranMaxwell]

Made perfect sense to me. He can't move adjacent to Simp unless it's a capture move.

[@Sior-person]

The side that isn’t right is the side that is left

[@WednesdayTheClove]

what about the side that is wrong

[@Sior-person]

@@WednesdayTheClove that is the wrong side ,that is not the right But saying the left side is the wrong side is wrong because 2 sides that aren’t the third side aren’t the same side Consider a triangle

​@Sior-person you successfully managed to annihilate my last braincell. Thanks bro.

[@jaideepshekhar4621]

​@Sior-person English please.

[@yvaskhmir]

​@Sior-person Have we found the 4-th dimension? One can move on the forward-backward axis, the left-right axis, the upward-downward axis and they can also move wrong.

[@MrTrainman96]

I'm pretty sure you've had the only captures to the left drawback before which also had someone blunder because they didn't realize right and left are opposite for your opponent

[@decoydecoy2255]

You have gotten so much better and understand your opponents so much better now 😊

[@choco1101]

In the first game, once d pawn protected, could have swung the 3rd rank rook to the a file to zugzwang the only moving black rook. Once taken the a pawn, may even be able to lock it all down to no legal moves for black

[@plynx3765]

When opponents counter-reveal this series entertains me

[@jasondrummond2335]

Missed opportunity on that last game to capture all his pieces so he is forced to move his king

[@MisterBrick42]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="76">1:16</a> would Bishop to B4 here be checkmate in two? you block with knight, they take, you can't recapture with pawn or move queen to block, or king to block.

[@NumenEloha]

Three games with counter-reveal. Awesome

[@tochoXK3]

That first game was really interesting

[@MyPlaylists22]

can someone explain the way the rating works in this mode? is it just some madeup number you enter yourself when searching for opponents?

[@NumenEloha]

First game''s drawbacks are crazy, you can't capture adjacent pieces, he/she can't move adjacet to you. Very funny

[@Person01234]

The first game, the drawbacks were like opposites. Though I can actually see the other guy's drawback actually being really nasty for the opponent as well, it would be super easy to cause a stalemate.

[@Mathayas_]

I was going to go call coward on that last game and say you could just trade down pieces until you can force his king to move, but then I remembered in drawback chess you are able to move your king into check willingly, so he could indeed stay on the rightmost rank forever and it is physically impossible to take it. So I think resignation is fair on that one.

[@ZJasmineDragon]

couldve just forced a draw on the last one

[@Flechashe]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="562">9:22</a> He forgot to change this sentence to an actual pause, or maybe it's one of his engagement baits

[@TheBonehead1997]

You could have either forced a draw, or made it so his timer ran out before yours in that last game.

[@theblackantonio]

Seems like high elo players counter-reveal their drawback more than low elo

[@whocares2277]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="170">2:50</a>: Nb5 completely freezes the left side, including the rook and the queen.

[@maksymisaiev1828]

And D5 make opponent to lose almost any moves

[@pfqniet]

While the last opponent did make an invincible king, you can still win by not losing. Capture all the remaining pieces and then shuffle your king around the board until the game ends. Resigning is a coward's move.

[@joshuahudson2170]

I would have forced the last game to time scramble as penalty for that no draw.

[@Lettuce-fl4wt]

nah that last guy was a coward, I award you the win, give yourself a 300% win rate

[@magnetsphere2872]

First match, your opponent missed a win on move 2. Bishop B4 would have won them the game

[@THELITTLERIVERNERD]

Seems possible to force his king off of the right edge after cleaning up the rest of his pieces? Just ensure his only legal move is moving left.

[@user-zj9rr6yc4u]

In drawback chess it is legal for the king to move into check, the king would have to be trapped in the corner by his own pawn or something for him to not have an up/down move.

[@THELITTLERIVERNERD]

Couldn't you do it with your bishop pawn or knight?​@@user-zj9rr6yc4u

[@mauer1]

why would you resign? you could just take all of his pieces. and force the draw.

[@tanushkalantri5096]

Smothered Checkmate in Game 1 missed

[@davidtitanium22]

you can still stalemate him edit: nvm, the king can capture into check so there's no way to restrict his movements in the A file

[@modthefirst3405]

I’m waiting for chess simp to lose every single game and still come up with a way to say 100% win rate

[@BikramKumar-uy8nl]

If Simp somehow kept a rook or a queen alive, then the king can be captured straight right? So the king is not perfectly safe in the H file

[@marcoasturias8520]

No(?) The drawback is to only capture left. Up (and down) are not left

[@dimanarinull9122]

wait, can't you force this guy out of the corner with your king if you remove all other pieces?

[@marcoasturias8520]

No, because he can move and capture up and down

[@dimanarinull9122]

@marcoasturias8520 can his king capture another king? Because I remember a rule regarding that.

[@marcoasturias8520]

@dimanarinull9122 doubt it, drawbacks with exceptions state the exception

[@dimanarinull9122]

@@marcoasturias8520 Kings can't capture kings tough. it's like saying "well there's no rule saying my queen can't capture like a knight"... your drawback doesn't need to state that your king can't capture other kings...

[@Rainbro359]

​@@dimanarinull9122it does in drawback chess, where kings can capture kings by default. Normally that'd be impossible since the neither player can move their king next to the other. Drawback chess allows you to move into check willingly because you might have figured out that the other drawback will keep you safe

FAIL. Stalemate is a win and you can easily stalemate. You bring shame upon us asians, failure

[@TheScarletFoxReal]

Stalemate isn't possible in drawback chess

[@plynx3765]

I think moves are still forced, meaning the king can be put into zugzwang and captured that way, but another commenter pointed out that the king can move into check so they could just capture any piece on the a file that tried to block it in… I don’t know if they have any sort of 50-move rule

[@davidli719]

I was unclear. The point I tried to make is that stalemate would result in a win, thanks to the mechanics of Drawback Chess.

[@AgainstMyBetterJudgement]

If you captured all your opponents pieces, you could block his king in so that his only legal move is to leave the right side of the board. A win was still on the table.

[@ultratopdecher7977]

King can just move along H rank capturing any piece. You can walk into check in this variant.

[@AgainstMyBetterJudgement]

​@@ultratopdecher7977 Oh, I guess that's true. Although you may be able to trick the opponent to trap their King behind a bishop, and then prevent that Bishop from moving due to their drawback, thereby forcing the King out. But that may be a bit convoluted 😅

last game: could you capture straight ahead?
