Why Checks Comes First

[@woodman_1799]

That had no business being as difficult as it was. Your opponent was clearly a paid actor, just paid by someone who hates you.

THAT'S why it sounded so off when he said it

[@jruler93]

The opponent was very close to capturing all pawns without giving any checks, which would have been a hilarious way to fail this challenge. But congratulations on succeeding here.

[@7WhitePhoenix7]

100 rated chess: but you must capture all opponent's pawns before delivering your first check.

you forgor the "You know what"

[@drdilyor]

this was almost "if you can move a pawn, you have to"

[@themobius5798]

It actually is, Simp only moves piece 2x, both to block checks, before his last pawn is captured at 4:40. The difference with his top-viewed videos is that this time the opponent goes for obliterating his entire pawn instead of avoiding them

[@drdilyor]

​@@themobius5798wait, yes you are right

[@someaccount5200]

That is a drawback on drawback chess I believe 😊

[@bossfan25]

For a moment, I though the opponent figured out your drawback.

[@Zaros262]

For a moment, I thought the opponent's drawback was "you cannot give check until it is checkmate"

[@homosmexuale]

I mean it was very close, they probably just assumed Simp has like a "Don't use your pieces" thing

[@alexkfridges]

One of the best vids in a while. So funny how he refused to check you but you somehow still took material moving only pawns around. Absolutely hilarious

[@thematriarch-cyn]

the opponent heard that you shouldn't just give checks any time its possible to, and took it as "never give checks"

[@TheDarklingWolf]

This is what happens when you don't pay the actors, they rebel.

[@Frommerman]

His actors really should unionize for better contracts

[@TheLazyComet]

This was one of the most entertaining challenges by far. Mostly because your opponent refused to be a paid actor

[@yastreb.]

No misinterpreting the rules, no cowardly moves, no blundering the challenge, no convenient internet problems. That's a first in a long time.

[@ussxrequin]

Your opponent: Chess, but your opponent is not allowed to have pawn structure.

[@jaydentplays7485]

4:25 Had that been mate, you would’ve gotten the “Killer Pawn” achievement, not the “Killer Rook” one. I know because one time I got a promotion mate. Thus, that was a pawn move.

[@tacticaltaco7481]

It can also be considered a pawn move because rooks can't move diagonally.

[@nimiugn]

also the notation is bxa1=R, so yes, it's a pawn move (because uh... you move.. a pawn)

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

Good job, all three of you. May your promotions be frequent and lethal.

[@thaumaTurtles]

also, even if you count that as a piece move, he still never went over his allowed amount of piece moves

[@itap8880]

Pretty sure you can even get Killer X by discovered checkmate by moving X.

[@Zenyx64]

Now that was a fight to the tooth and nails, holy! What a not-coward, this man.

[@stephengray1344]

I spent half the video wondering if the other guy was doing a "you may not check the enemy king until you have captured all his pawns" challenge.

[@Xaiclun]

"That blunders a check-mate in 14" I only see a check-mate in 3...

[@husklyman]

he almost lost for running out of pawns, the closest loss ever

[@firockfinion3326]

Imagine being 17 moves into the game, the opponent has only moved their pawns, which you've captured 6 of, and you're at material disadvantage. XD

[@cherrylk4188]

This guy was not a paid actor, he was a paid assassin. It was like he knew the rules of the challenge before it started

[@dontpickonme]

Of course it was a pawn move. Rooks can't move diagonally.

[@Boss-_]

The opponent made this game incredibly frustrating to begin with, and I was just *watching* it. Can't imagine what it would have been like to play it

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

This opponent had to have seen that you weren't moving your pieces (not pawns), and was thoroughly enjoying having run of the board.

[@nervix7096]

He saw you were only making pawn moves, so he was safe to blunder his knight to your pieces

[@Ender41948]

I am surprised, after so much refusal to check you and losing almost everything to just build up some checks, you still managed to bring this back around in decisive fashion!

[@drachefly]

Wow, really made you work for that one!

Let that be a lesson to you: This guy started losing the second he started giving checks.

The challenge was worded so badly. It could be something like. "Chess, but you can only make up-to three times as many non-pawn moves as the number of checks you have received up-to that point".

[@witchluisamultifandom1212]

YOUR wording doesn't make any sense. The submitter's wording was fine. Except for the part where they said "at the begin" instead of "at the start" for some reason.

[@witchluisamultifandom1212]

@@mattlm64 "you begin cannot" makes no sense, that I agree with. "Stackable" is needed for clarifying the move amount doesn't reset to 3 with every check(though it could be read as "double check gives you 6 piece moves) RPG buffs are often phrased this way. It's that your proposed wording is unnecessarily complicated. Had to read it thrice before I understood it fully. The "up to that point" at the end is redundant, same with the other "up to". I personally would phrase the challenge "Chess, but at the start of the game you can only move pawns. For every check on your king, you gain three piece moves" Also I have never seen anyone spell up to with a hyphen.
