- GMHikaru and GothamChess attempt to play Fog of War chess while blindfolded.
(Yo dawg, I heard you don't like seeing chess pieces, so I made you play a game where you can't see your opponent's chess pieces while you can't see your opponent's chess pieces.)

"He made a move and nothing changed" My level of game with the ladies.
Same
Well at least it's not "He made a move and it got worse". Which is what happened to me.
“He blundered his queen”
@@user-jv8mw5xg1r Well played
for me its: "he made a move and she thought he was gay"
“I’m an idiot” says the man who just won blindfolded in fog of war
Opponent: *does moves Hikaru literally can’t see*
Hikaru: ”yeah I know exactly where his pieces are”

Doing this blindfolded is insane

@@thesavantart8480 what if the competition was memorizing the board position of a thousand games of chess?
1:30 Even blindfolded Hikaru can see the stockfish on the ceiling.
it's inside his mask too duh
My brain hurts just because of trying to know how it might look like in Hikarus head
it probably looks like the ceiling
Imagine a chess board with pieces, thank me later.
@@AmishMicrowave The problem is maintaining an accurate record of where yours and the enemy pieces are over the course of multiple turns. Not everyone has the ability to see things so clearly in their mind like that. I can imagine it might come with lots of experience, if you don't have that ability already, but if you're going about life thinking everyone has memory like that then you're sorely mistaken.
[insert beth harmon joke here]
@@jamiemonroe4144 not everyone, but probably every GM
"His bishop moved but you don't know where"
Oh, so this is literally D&D now

So what's next? 4 player fog of war blindfolded?
WAYTOOFALLKARU
yes, with chess960 opening and crazy house dropping captured pieces with ultrabullet time.
Garbage opening speedrun 4 player fog of war simultaneous
with pushups in between each game
@@severed6s without the Queen of course
imagine you are testing this new feature of game mode and your first game is against Hikaru Nakamura
lmao
E
Jesus this is like being doubly blind
So now I imagined a blind person plays fog of war chess while blindfolded💀
Levy: Literally Anything
Hikaru: ooooh oooh ooh ooooh oohk
JAJAJAJAJA OMG
chat i literally don't care chat
Everyone knows you gotta send ur initial pawn to scout the enemy's buildorder.
Then you see your opponent going for the bongcloud build order
Yo what is that profile pic??
Everyone knows you send your scout forward after you find your home resources.
Well if fighting protoss check corners for cannon cheese
And if fighting terran to check for barracks cheese
Hikaru: "Oh of course!"
Me: "Now I understand what's going on, I just need to go through the black door!"
if I hadn't randomly gotten recommended that video a week or 2 ago, I probably wouldn't know what your talking about lol
XRA will never not be funny
@@anon3600 I don’t get the reference, please explain
@@brokenbutler12 look up renegade angel “do you believe in god”
What's with all the XRA references in chess videos
GM(10:51just won the game blindfolded): I'm an idiot.
Me: I want to be that kind of idiot too 😂😂😂
9:12 - yep you can castle out of "check" because check doesn't exist in this variant. It's actually an essential resource in some of the Fog of War strategies that your opponent can use
He knew this, the reason Hikaru was confused was he thought that there was a bishop on f8, and knight on a5 (it was the other way around). Bishop on f8 would block a castle as its between the rook and the king.
@@altervisi7748 yeah but Levy didn't say "you see the king." He just said "whether it's a check or not I don't know."
It's like a more advanced form of Battleship.
I love how this reminds me of those old text adventure games.
> move pawn to e4
You see nothing.
> move bishop to c4
You see a pawn on f7. A small key lies on the ground nearby.
> take key
You win! Checkmate.
FRR i just got a lot of nostalgia
Alright. Now do blindfold, fog of war, 960 chess
4-player
4 player ,blind folded ,fog of war, 960, atomic,XXL chess
Blindfold, Hyperbullet, Fog of War, 960 chess, 4 player
İ think hardest one would be blinfolded, fog of war, 5d, chess with 4 player ( if its possible because i can not totally figure it out how it would be) and i think that would be unplayable you can only make just random moves
Teacher: What is the 15th letter of the alphabet?
Me: 8:14
Got me good
Underrated comment😂😂😂
Lol
This comment is stupid but I love it.
Teacher: incorrect, the answer is not um
16:16 - I've never heard the castling sound. I think it's probably a bug because you're not supposed to get that information. Definitely a decisive bug
Maybe in Hikarus game they heard it because he was seeing (No pun intended) the King and Levy didn't
Fog doesn't stop you from hearing, just from seeing clearly.
They knew more about the position than I did and they were blindfolded
1:27 Hikaru tried to play the Evans gambit
The mighty gambit
Agadmator would be proud
@@rushunnhfernandes can’t disagree with a guy with the same pic
@@dymoster okay 😅 we're both too lazy to put a custom pic
hikaru: *blindfolded²*
also hikaru: "can I get fancy here? can I get really fancy- I think I'm gonna get fancy "
These thumbnails are only getting better
HOW!? I can barely follow a normal game of FOW, I can't even imagine the mental discipline required to play this format blindfolded...let alone actually win. Good job boys. : )
actually since the blindfolded normal chess is technically like a FULL fog of war where you have to memorize all the piece locations, FOG blindfolded doesnt make that big of a difference.
@@winstonchurchill7822 Normal blindfold you know where every piece is as long as you can memorize it because you're told the move. FOW blindfold is even harder because you don't know the other moves at all.
The number of "oohhs" around 8:20, its over 9000
This is how drunk people play chess just no fog lol
It's weird the way people think when they're on the spot in front of a camera. "Oh no, someone might be sniping my stream. Maybe coded audio will stop them from looking at all of my pieces."
They might just be listening to the audio. Since the blindfolded person needs to say all his moves, you can just listen and focus on your own screen.
Also, as spectators, we view the board as the most important part, while the players are mostly in their heads.
Keep up the good work hikaru, enjoying the content on your streams and yt. much love.
This is the battlefield of ‘nam we all had to walk through blindfolded to get to school back in my day.
Wait, but you are russian..
@@vincentgrass6531 he was Russian black ops
this is like "oh you shot me in the eye? let me gouge the other one to make it a fair fight"
Fog of war but you can hear whether the opponent castled or just moved the king normally (8:49)
my gf broke up with me about 30 minutes and the only thing I can do is try to take my mind off of it by watching Hikaru. I suck at chess and at being in a relationship and I just wanna thank Hikaru for always being there for others. I’ve never wanted to not live so much until now and watching Hikaru is helping me a least try to pass some time. hopefully i’ll be able to sleep soon, too much on my mind right now
Just wait it out bro, shit gets better
Hang in there!! I broke up recently too, and it gets better after some time
Hey Gib, I don't want to presume that I know how you feel and say "hehe aw yeah I get u". But hell yeah, distracting your mind with the logic of a game like chess, especially from a GM, and from Hikaru at that -- it's helped many, for many different reasons. Distract yourself for long as you need, keep well, and if you wanna have a match or chat, DM me. I'm a trashy 1k bullet player that just wins by cheese, so whomping me should feel good. :P
Got divorced 5 mo ago. Watched a ton of Hikaru and helped a lot. It does get a lot easier. Lots of fish in the sea brother!
Stay strong, man!
I can't even play normal chess...
Watching Hikaru playing Chess is amazing.. But this type of stuff is just mind boggling! You sir, are a pleasure to watch. I suck at chess, and most of the time I don't understand absolutely nothing that you are saying, but it feels so good to watch one of the best there is in the world. Thanks for being so kind and enjoyable. Best of Luck! 🙏❤️🍀
This is the type of content I subscribed for, holy shit
When bae pretends you hit the right spot 8:14
Lmao
8:20 oh train
I laughed out loud at that
that should have been the intro of the video, i'm disappointed
It sounds like a text adventure game. "You enter a room and see a pawn on D5"
8:05 "You said a WHAT on A7?.... Oh... Ohh....oooohh. ooh! OOOOOH!!!" :)
this variant seems like it would be a blast to play. im excited for this
like not seeing ur opponent's pieces wasnt enough
“Can I still see f7?” No, Hikaru, you can’t see anything, that’s the point of the blindfold.
How in the fuck is this even possible...this has to be one of the most talented things iv ever seen in my life
Brain so big he had too blind himself twice too make it a fair fight
Next video: playing chess blind... while blindfolded... while playing fog of war... while juggling... okay that's all I've got
10:07 why is he not telling. If he is sniping, can he not basically see that?
They were basically saying their moves out loud and saying what they can see and take. If he was sniping, he wouldn't have really needed to watch the stream, he could've just listened to it out of tab to see which pieces are in danger.
@@aezrithferova6675 I feel like if somebody is going to be an dick and streamsnipe, they would just keep the tab open on the side anyways
@@maxithewoowoo Thats true, Im only saying that levy might have did what he did in case the situation I described happened. I agree with what you said, but its better to be safe than sorry.
when i saw this in my recommended i thought it was some kinda joke. apparently i just didn’t know how blindfolded works
Can't even imagine visualising this well, I struggle seeing all the pieces
Fog of war is already insane. But playing it blind fold is insane².
when hikaru said Ooooooooh ooooh ohohoh oh it was hilarious
I just realize u can go back and forth and your opponent wouldn't even suspect lmao
Levy: Huh his bishop moved but you don't know where
Trick: Fog of war baby
Your conversation makes it seem like you are playing D&D: chess edition
And yet he still looks at the ceiling
“We’re doing this blindfolded mode, blindfolded”
0:00 The Last Samurai. One of my most favorite movie of all time
i was expecting him to use the blindfolded chess pieces
but this is still very impressive
Imagine a chessboard that made a different sound for each piece, and that sound being slightly modified based on the square it moved to. Blind people could instantly know where a piece was.
A level of thinking I can’t comprehend.
Levy is such a good squire
Next up: both sides are blindfolded and get no info about opponent's move. The board also makes no color changes or notification sound when moves are made.
The sound is essential otherwise you move without turns.
You want brutal lets get brutal, both blinded, fog of war, 4 player chess, and 5D chess with timetravel multidimension
What you described is a different game. It's called "bowling".
This isn't your everyday blindness. This is ADVANCED BLINDNESS
It makes sense that you can castle out of check in this format (in almost all situations) - opponent doesn't have the knowledge that you know you are in check - like you could not see the checking piece - the only case you could be forbidden to do so is when when you are being checked by a piece that you see and you also see a piece that sees your piece that sees the checking piece.
This is just very very very super GM stuff
I think at 14:14 the white pawn moves forward 2 squares which if blacks pawn was on the adjacent square would allow for an en passant, and that because of this when the queens pawn moves forward it sees an empty square lit up behind the pawn revealing that the pawn was moved by 2 the previous turn.
Blindfold, fog of war, all premove
Haha the last samurai thumbnail is gold
I believe you only hear castling when you can see it in this variant. If they castle behind the fog, you hear nothing.
The thumbnails for almost all of these videos are made by very cultured people
remember, when you don't know what to do. "just castle"
actually the thumbnail looksss so awesome
this is actually, the last samurai...
10:51 - yeah Be7 and Bf8 is probably a better strategic move in Fog of War, but when you're playing a provisional player, they'll typically keep a bishop or queen on a5 to have ideas of taking on d4 and if you take back with your c-pawn on c3 then there's a chance your king is still on e1 and they can take it and win the game. There's a TON of cheapos out of the opening like this one
Ok we’re just getting flexed on at this point.
what a thumbnail
The thumbnail is like ancient god of war wiping the whole army in one swing
levy cant see even after movin pawns for 6 moves straight😂🌪
i thought he was playing against levy i was like "wait so is this sorta modified normal blindfolded chess?"
This was really insane
When life is not on the difficulty you want !
More fog of war vids please
I think you can only hear the castle if you see the king and it moves
theres no check rule in fog of war because the opponent may not know they are in check if they cannot see the piece attacking the king.
hence theres no checkmate, you instead just take the king one move later
Fun fact:
Castling has it's own sound effect, so you can tell when your opponent is castling.
I can’t wait for fog of war chess but blindfolded and the pieces are invisible
This is madness
So after a pawn takes b6, you notice for a second that b7 is available then after c takes the view is gone. So you know that there isn’t a bishop on b7.
That one part oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Watching while blindfolded
Next step: Blindfolded 5D Chess with Fog of War
this variation benefits from getting your qeen out erly to get more info.
Basically visualisation and memory training
Thumbnail artist is amazing
Blindfolded beast Timur Gareyev is looking for you 😎
I was also worried about the king
4 player fog of war chess, and 5d fog of war chess
Its like blind chess but 2X harder
8:20 ooooooooooooooooo
the thumbnail is gold.
