The simple "What?....Why?" was so effective. Bro was both flabbergasted and despairing that he couldn't partake in the manliest gambit of Chess history.
It was an interesting pairing. Because of Simp's challenge, he could never take the queen as it would be 99% of the time the best move. So the opponent had to speedrun the game with an immortal queen. The queen sac was entirely useless.
@@kaksspl the queen could be taken if it went to a square where it was attacked by two pieces at once, so the opponent did have to be a little careful, and a little slower. If Simp waited longer to sac his queen it would've been a perfectly viable strategy
What are you talking about? He had 0% chance to win in the end. In this situation opponent has either 100% to win or 100% to lose. So his chances are 100% - 100% = 0%.
An epic fight with a major antagonist, but he drops his sword at the final attack, allowing himself to be stabbed in the chest. His life turns out to be more tragic than you realized, and it death a heroic sacrifice. Very anime. I cry every time.
2:34 No it isn’t. THE hardest drawback in the website is “Taking turns”: All of your piece types have to have moved an amount of times that are within 1 of each other (if you can't move a less-used piece type, you lose) It’s so far to the right the arrows don’t even display correctly
What opening(s) can you even do for that? Unless l'm misunderstanding, it means you have to move each piece type once before being able to move them again, right? And this site considers pawns pieces so...?
The hardest one I’ve personally seen while playing is Death Wish: “If you can move your king into check (and aren’t already in check), you must.” The website doesn’t consider it **that** hard (about 70% probably) but I just moved my knight to their half of the board, they were forced to move their king in check, and I won the game. (I didn’t know their drawback until afterwards.)
@@kyrarose4517 you HAVE TO push the king’s pawn to open up queen and bishop. Develop king’s bishop and knight, so you may castle. You should trade pieces ASAP, so the rotation is quicker. When you don’t know what to do, burn the king move or a rook on the 1st rank.
This was probably the most entertaining drawback chess video so far. The second and third games where you saw the strategy shifting in real time was cool. Loved the part in the 2nd game where simp sacrificed his queen because he thought the opponent wouldnt take, and the opponent took anyway knowing he'd have to win before move 11
I think that guy tragically misunderstood your drawback. I think he thought that the color wouldn't be randomized each time, but simply alternate. When he gave that first check, he was sure you couldn't recapture because you had just moved to a dark square before, then he took the pawn on the next move because you had just moved to a light square before and he thought all light squares would be forbidden to you. Still he missed the fact that he could checkmate you on E2 if that was the case.
4:13 I feel like in this position, Nf3 was the best move. Since the lose condition is only having one piece able to block or attack the Queen, adding another defender of d2 to block the diagonal would have been better than a3. Maybe could even have castled eventually to stall for the extra turn. I think that was winnable, but of course, Simp is better than his viewers, so I’m probably wrong.
Wow, that was an amazing turn of events. Even without drawbacks revealed, Botez Gambit is a difficult one to play against Ichtyophobe because their inability to play the best move means you would have to put your queen somewhere where the opponent has multiple ways to take it. Add in the revealed drawbacks, and it becomes a mad dash to put your queen in a position where it not only can be taken by multiple pieces, but also there are no moves other than capturing the queen that will get your opponent out of check.
The drawbacks that use rng (gambler, colourblind, winds of fate) are often good to reveal immediately as the knowledge of your drawback may make your opponent decide to gamble themselves by taking a "defended" piece only supported by pieces or pawns of one colour, type of square or move direction.
2nd game was a win 6.Nf3 would have given you enough safety for 5 for moves If Qb4+, 7. Nbd2 and you have king and knight to capture the queen. Nxd4 i believe stockfish would take with the knight, therefore enabling your pawn to capture it Qxb2 simply 8.Rd1, i would guess Qc1 9.Be2 Nb4, 10. O-O and resigns
If the opponent losses the queen that's also a win for the opponent cause simp's drawback is so bad while the opponent can play normal chess as his condition would already be fulfilled. But running with the king up the board could work to stall until move 11 without taking the queen. Edit: nvm the opponent challenge also requires simp to have a queen, so if white just survives to turn 11 in any way he wins, even capturing the opponents queen.
I think that the last guy saw your must move to light square and thought it's for your next turn, while it is actually rerandomized at the start of your turn. So he wanted to humilite you with an invincible queen
Second challenge, word is roughly pronounced like ICK-THEE-O-PHOBE - basically, someone who is afraid of fish. Opp reveals drawback before you had a chance: "This has literally triggered my testosterone."
The last guy had incredible amount of testosterone, if only he had moved the queen to checkmat in 1, with the 50% chance of siml being unable to capture, it would have been the best ending possible
If it makes you feel any better, your opponent could have still killed you on move 10, even if you made the perfect moves with your king. It was a forced mate because of your drawback. Of course, that assumes your opponent realized he needed to move his knight next instead of his queen (if he only used his queen then he wouldn't make it in time). He was clearly pretty good though given how effectively he exploited your drawback. I think he would have closed the net correctly.
In that second game could you not have taken his queen back? Was the condition not meaning that both parts had to be fulfilled? Because your queen was gone, they weren't able to win so therefore you could've taken theirs
I've beaten the stockfish one. Was so proud. Thing is, it's sort of like having free stock stockfish help. If you do the best most once time has past and it's now slightly less ideal, it's still pretty damn good. And never forget the opponent also has a drawback. I won on time in the end xD. Yes, checkmate would be hard
Why does this tts voice have personality? Why do I treat it like a real person speaking? Edit: Note I’ve been wanting to make. Please specify what you mean by 100% winrate, since your actual winrate is 66%, and your elo gain per video is below 10% now (diminishing since thats how percentage works) so… what
This is the wackiest series because the drawback difficulties are graded assuming you don't reveal so Simp's difficulty is majorly RNG, but it also doesn't matter because it's a speedrun where simp's rating goes up whether they win or lose.
"I don't know how to pronounce this word"
> is literally using text to speech
Ngl I forgot that this wasn’t Simp’s voice until I read your comment
No, it is Simp's voice. He just have dubbed for text to speech.
Imagine if neither can pronounce that word
Maybe that's why he said that, the voice couldn't read icthyophobe properly or he couldn't confirm that it was saying it right so he didn't use it
That's the joke

@dibenp i think this means that if you want to move a piece 3 times, you must have moved every other piece 2 times. Sounds absolutely impossible

Yes I think so, but then he should have given 'checkmate' on a light square.
Maybe thought it would be fun to vacuum up all the pieces.
@@fatsquirrel75 And instead just sacced his queen for a pawn
That second game felt like it was impossible to lose if you survived to move 11. There can't be many positions where Stockfish wouldn't take a queen.
I disagree. It was simp that hot-headedly gave up his queen, a strong defense, way before move 11.

That "Bongcloud" killed me. Very unexpected
Your opponent reveals their drawback back to you and it turns out their ones are even worse*
I love how Simp has build a culture of players sharing their drawback.
we need more role models like that
"I don't know how to read this word" when you're literally using a text to speech... that always mispronounces the word "content". Fair enough
No no, it's in reverse - Simp's voice was used to create TTS engines. 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗦𝗧
That second drawback is just concede the game, wtf.
4:54 this person was most definitely a subscriber of this channel.
Fear of fishes.
You could have moved the knight in front of your king in the first game. Its adjacent to queen and can let you capture
Getting a TTS to not say a word even though it’d definitely be able to read it is peak humour
You threw the second game so hard
Icthyophobe is the 2nd hardest rated drawback on the website
Gigachad at the start but chiken out at the end
Ichtyophobe is such a great name for that challenge

You thought the last opponent was a gigachad gambler,
But it was only a 100 rater
These drawbacks were insane
Just when I thought I could see Simp’s 50-50 luck…
Well, he did a challenge video where he had a 50/50 chance of making a good move or a Blunder. You could always give that one a watch!
'You can't play the Stockfish move' mirrors would actually be a seriously interesting chess variant. Like Duck Chess 2
Shot In The Dark: Drawback Chess Edition
When it comes to that last move, we take those.
In chess the winner is the person doing the pre final mistake
Maybe that last move was just him trying to win your queen as a gloat before he goes back to take the king.
Gigachad but not too bright lol
Simp blunders his king, opponent doesn't notice and proceeds to blunder his own king. Absolutely convenient
Second game you could've employed the London System
Bro is so legendary they made drawback chess website for him
last one was such an underpaid actor 😂😂
Last game was so Hakari-coded
"Lets fuckin gamble"
Until it wasn't
Ironically at the end I was thinking he would play Qe1 with the most testosterone... and that would have given him the win.
I would have sworn the gigachad was the guy who took your queen to give himself a 6 turn clock.
I think that the last guy saw your must move to light square and thought it's for your next turn, while it is actually rerandomized at the start of your turn. So he wanted to humilite you with an invincible queen
I always find it funny that TTS pronounces "content" as in "satisfied" and not "content" as in "something you posted"
Too much testosterone, I can feel the roid-rage coming
Bro I literally watched this at 12:01 pm and simp starts with Good Noon 😭
Qd2# will be the most epic gambling win in chess history but bro missed it lmao
Last one is probably only 3 digit elo in classical chess, he seemed to make a nice tactical move, but was actually just blundering
Why do a 50/50 for a win when you can do a 50/50 for a blunder.
Sometimes I forget Simp's real voice isn't text to speech. To me this sound so natural now xD
King d1 hurt my soul
Second challenge, word is roughly pronounced like ICK-THEE-O-PHOBE - basically, someone who is afraid of fish.
Opp reveals drawback before you had a chance: "This has literally triggered my testosterone."
The last guy had incredible amount of testosterone, if only he had moved the queen to checkmat in 1, with the 50% chance of siml being unable to capture, it would have been the best ending possible
so will there be only 1 more video? As this website is only till 2000 rated.
I think game two had some options to delay the game more. Would it have made it to move 11? Unsure, but cool game all the same
If it makes you feel any better, your opponent could have still killed you on move 10, even if you made the perfect moves with your king. It was a forced mate because of your drawback.
Of course, that assumes your opponent realized he needed to move his knight next instead of his queen (if he only used his queen then he wouldn't make it in time). He was clearly pretty good though given how effectively he exploited your drawback. I think he would have closed the net correctly.
Yay the ending is back!
luck wwasn't on bro's side
The word that cannot be ptonounced by Simp: icthyophobe - A composite Greek word made by the ancient "icthys", i.e. fish and "phobos", i.e. fear.
im not the guy who complains about simps testosterone in the comment section

In that second game could you not have taken his queen back? Was the condition not meaning that both parts had to be fulfilled?
Because your queen was gone, they weren't able to win so therefore you could've taken theirs
taking Queen would always be the best move (which is not allowed) and Simp was unable to create a situation where 2 moves capture Queen.
@@joz534 Spot on, thank you!
You could have captured the queen and won at move 11 anyway
Couldn't you have just captured your 2nd opponents queen since they already took yours?
in game 2, i think 6. Ne2 was a better try
Is taking the King ever a move Stockfish would make? Most games Stockfish plays that isn't an option.
I think what you need there is two materials attacking the King at the same time so that Stockfish blocks one and you take with the other.
@@RaceBandit That's if Stockfish blocks it at all. It might not.
That second game, I don't think even running your king away would have worked...
