"Pawn to B2" is such a fucking cursed phrase. I love it.
But it's normal if you play as black
@@deandelvin9924 only in very very endgame
fianccetto is at thing
pawn to a9
@@pokeymaker6729people who fianchetto goes pawn to b3 instead
I see why its rarely played, that looks awful to think about
This legit gave me a migrane. And I think watching it again to try and understand would just make it worse.
Wait, why did en passant petrify the captured pawn? That smells like a programming bug to me...
Reminds me of a time when I was programming my own chess engine and in the early stages he thought he could castle using a King on e1 and an enemy Knight on h1 😂
@@Carl-GaussThis should be possible in normal chess, if you ask me
Yes, it looks like a bug. They didn't account for en passant, which is the only move where the capturer ends up in a different position from the captured
@@Flechashewhy didn't they google en passant
Well, maybe bonus points for en Passant? :O
That was the most unusual french move I've ever seen
I on the other hand have seen many unusual moves done by the french
that pawn side move left me :O . it was hilarious to think about just blocking and attacking by moving pawns sideways. pawns should be worth 2 instead of 2 just cause of that move lmao
Pawn be like:
Sliide to the left 🥁
Sliide to the right 🥁
Crisscross...
Pawns are so strong in this mode since they don't even get petrified after capturing that they should be worth 3 or maybe 4 points.
"pawns should be worth 2 instead of 2"
Or even 3 instead of 3!
@@Mythraen So 3 instead of 6 ?
@@Naowakk What? My comment is a joke poking fun at OP for what I presume is a typo.
I can't make heads or tails out of your comment.
So on top of being complex, it seems like there are some bugs as well 😅
You really dominated by maximally using the pawns, especially their sideways move though. Very well played!
It's clear this variant was not well thought out. The horizontal pawns was meant to help them navigate the stone board but it just breaks the game entirely.
I think it's good
Pawns are literally the best piece in this variation. I actually think that's what they were going for. Otherwise they would let king capture to get out of cheeky pawn checks
Simp you turn me into stone 😳
He gets you rock-hard, hm? Understandable.
AYO
Seeing pawn move sideways feel very fresh. Maybe they should bring it to normal chess too.
It's strangely satisfying.
Dude got JUKED by them sidesteps. HIS ANKLESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Damn, Simp actually skipped a few moves before that "resignation".
They are just turning your challenges into gamemodes now
I was gonna say this is 200% win rate but then you did, amazing
Except it isn’t, it’s 100% win rate
@@Neoshift3 We saw one game, and we know that we won 2. It's 200% in my eyes.
@@morosov4595 he’s won 2/2 games, that’s 100%, if he’d lost one of the games it would be a 1/2 so 50% win rate. Thats how percentages work
@@Neoshift3 🤓
@@Neoshift3 but he played twice and won both times. so 200%
next chess variant video: "now you might be wondering about my 1900 rating, well this is my second game because in my first I was taking on Magnus Carlsen and he was petrified and gave me a free win"
I 100% need more of this
Imagine killing a person and they just... turn into stone. That would be horrifying.
Imagine killing a person and you just turn to stone!
like putting water aside lava. you get infinite stone supply.
2:31 SOLIDifying me center. I see what you did there.
4:46 the clock goes from 1 minute 3 seconds to 25 seconds and 0 minutes
And almost everything is petrified, this is the first time I realize this so either he did it often or this is the first time, now I have to rewatch every video
He often pauses or skips long pauses for entertainment purposes.
However everything petrified is probably the way to show the opponent resigned (maybe all their pieces get added to your score?)
@@DidierLoiseau I know that, It's been like year and a half that I follow him
And while the "everything petrifies after resign" sounds about right, there are also some moves played and it's confirmed by the clock, but the problem is that this is the very first time I realize about it XD, but there are a heck ton of videos of the opponent resigning
I wouldn't say entertainment purposes more like "I don't really care so I'll end it here" purposes XD
at least we can see the black knight actually moved (and gets petrified per to the rules), so that's probably their last move before resigning.
@@JustSomeGuyWithAMug indeed I think simp might not always be very careful, or he wanted to keep the video short maybe
If you look at the move log on the right side, you can see that all that was skipped was the opponent capturing on c2 and then Simp developing his knight. Maybe the opponent took so long to make a move after that that the game auto-forfeited?
I cant blame the opponent for resigning. Being blocked multiple times by side pawn moved and an en passant that froze his piece instead of yours is probably what makes this variant so unpopular.
ah yes, ""resignation""
At first i was afraid, i was petrified
it seems like the strat should be to just sacrifice all of your pieces. If your opponent can't capture any of your pieces they can get at most 8 points + whatever the king is worth, so if you sac your queen for a rook, your rooks for minor pieces, and minor pieces for pawns, it shouldn't be possible for your opponent to catch up
Often, a king is worth a game-winning number of points in these kinds of variants. I wouldn't be surprised if the point-based victory is purely to stop every endgame from ending in a draw from the 50 move rule. So if you sacrifice all your pieces ASAP, then the opponent could just take your king and win the game.
The King is worth 20 points
Yay another video that has disclaimers I love these disclaimers
"this is a chess video" citation needed
This game mode messes up with my brain so hard.... especially the sideways move of the pawns. It's too much!
Impressive that for every game he plays he wins two
BUGHOUSE PLZ!
I cant with this variant, its so cursed, pawns should not be able to move sideways.
That game rocked 🗿
Why is the board different on the resignation screen?
'200% win rate'
I refuse to believe that you are Asian.
(This is a chess video)
Simp is a disgrace for Asians for saying 200% win rate😥
On the contrary, he has more than 100%. His mom would be so proud.
@@Tragic_Idiotyes, but Asian Moms are always disappointed of their children
More of this please.
🤣this made me laugh and had to pause several times
Wow that completely different game. By the way You played brilliantly!
That last move was ganius. Lol.
you got it wrong
harry has a scar and malfoy has a tattoo on his arm
Honestly sideways moving pawns is interesting enough to be its own variant.
We need a montage of all of the disclaimers!
2:25 exactly my thoughts, forgot about that sideways move
Sideways pawns are sick they should add that to the normal game next update
Someone forgot to program the en passant 😂
this mode made no sense, other modes you can feel why the rules are the way that they are for balancing reasons, but this mode just feels like a cluster of ideas put together for no reason at all
I'm guessing that the points system is because they don't expect a checkmate to happen with so many impregnable stone walls, and the pawn moving sideways is to avoid games being over too fast when they hit a wall, but then players become confused about what's they're supposed to be going for, making chess just a "don't lose pieces" game is boring
You need to learn how percentages work 🤣
Lol at that disclaimer. Thanks for the reminder, simp!
Why didn't you show the rest of the game ?
0:21 | The first Hogwarts book also had Hermione use that same spell on Neville Longbottom.
2:20 | I had to go back and reread the rules after seeing that horizontal Pawn move. That's _cursed._
The variant of pawns.
Great video 11/10 for the pawns.
Video 33 of asking simp to play fps chess
Except you never actually ask him. Nary a single question or question mark in all 33.
Shame we didn't get to see the full game. Would be nice if you coulda shown us how the rest went...
I have no clue what happened in this game.
this slaps
If he lost this game his win rate would be 50%
If you get check mated, but you also have more points, do you win? 🤔
I'd imagine the checkmate makes you lose, otherwise you could just sac all your pieces on pawns to stop your opponent from getting points
There probably is no official 'check' in this variant and instead you have to capture the opponent's king. It's probably then worth an absurd number of points when you capture it, so you're guaranteed to win. The points are probably just to stop endgames from becoming draws by the 50 move rule or from all pieces being petrified.
Checkmate gives 20 points. Yes, you could theoretically mate and lose.
2:24 wait the pawn on c4 can't take the bishop on d4 sideways?
what happened with white and black knights at the end?
nxc2 nc3
They used time-turner
3:48 why didn't the capturing pawn turn to stone???
I was wondering the same thing...
Not to mention pawns should not turn to stone in the first place
Cursed variant
I didn't understand... If it's point based then when does the game end? Also, why does it say "win by checkmate or stalemate" on the right of the screen?
But whats the reason pawns can move sideways?^^
A2 B2 ???? Where is it mentionned as a. Rule xd
pawns can move horizontally
In the rules section : Pawns can move horizontally
Is it just me or is simp sounding a bit sick today? Was something off about the voice
What's the point of the points, if the rules say "win by checkmate or stalemate" ?
Either that sentence is not true, or what is the situation when the points come into consideration?
If the game would end in a Draw, the player with the most points wins instead.
Mate "only" gives 20 points, so you can "Claim Victory" if you have an advantage of at least 21 points (you "resign", giv your opponent 20 points, then still win).
@@tochoXK3 so the sentence is not true, right?
@@panda4247Yeah, technically, you can lose while mate-ing (though it's unlikely) and in case of Stalemate, the player with the most points wins

Hey bro
To be clear, I’m on the side that doesn’t really care about Harry Potter enough to get “triggered” by the author’s actions, as bad as they are. I’m just here to watch a Chess game. That *is* what I subscribed for, after all.
I'm sure all of the nobody who asked will be delighted to hear that.
