Drawback: your opponent is sniping 2/3’s of the time. It’s to be expected because the website isn’t that popular yet, but damn that’s pathetic on the snipers’ end. Like congrats you won when it was completely asymmetrical
I was reluctant to click on this video....and then I very much enjoyed it. "Hanging King" had me chuckling. Then Eric trying to move his pawn forward a couple of times and getting the rejection noise...after thoroughly explaining how he had to move a piece backwards after an opponent capture. 😄
9:22 wait so your opponent would have been able to take your king? Maybe he got confused and thought if he takes it wins he loses because he has not captured the target piece yet
Would love to see you play this with a fellow streamer at a higher time control. That way you don’t need to worry about sniping and have more time to understand the drawbacks
The drawbacks that have to do with not capturing on x file/rank, or about not giving checks, I feel should be changed. As of right now, if the opponent figures out or snipes the drawback, there is literally no way to win. The opponent can just move back and forth on the same file/rank, and no matter what you do, you cannot take them, since they can capture and put themselves in check with no penalty, while gaining increment. If it's a "no capturing on file/rank", I feel there needs to be an exception for the King; and for a no check, perhaps "no check before move 25" or something along those lines
@@xPanda25 But that's the whole point, it levels the playing field for everyone. It would be boring if you always lost to grandmasters, wouldn't it? It's drawback chess.
@@BannedLivesMatterNah, I still think "If the opponent figures out it's unwinnable then it's unwinnable" is lame. They should be able to make you suffer, sure, that's funny, but starting the game unable to win is stupid
drawback: when your oponent captures something you must move backwards Eric: let's just make pawn moves and not develop anything so I don't have any backwards moves
Why don't you try playing 10 mins more as thinking about moves under the drawback takes more time than usual and blitz might be too fast paced for it. Personally I like the more careful deliberations that comes with this variant so having time for longer forms of it might be better ... opinion from chess amateur xD
Your drawback wins or loses elo depending on the result of the game. Difficult drawbacks will lose more often and have a lower elo. So the lower the elo, the higher the difficulty. Hope that makes sense.
That makes sense and also feels like a terrible system for naming the difficulty of drawbacks! Even if they used that value internally but displayed a simple subtract from fixed MaxElo that would be more easily interpretable.
Untrue. The player that loses will lose elo but the drawback itself gains elo. The winning players drawback will lose elo and thus be considered easier.
I just played my first drawback chess game, and my opponent put my king in check, and I managed to castle out of it somehow. Then, I lost. Turns out, my opponent took my king “en passant” 💀
The taking turns grammar is so bad. I don't even think it's right. "All your piece types have to have moved an amount of times that are within 1 of each other?" What's one of each other? The distance of the pieces? So confusing. It should have said: "You must move all piece types once before moving the same piece type again."
@@MikelMonleon Let's say you start the game by moving every piece type except the king. If I understand the wording correctly, you should now be able to move the king twice in a row. If everything else moved 1 time, it's OK for the king to have moved 0, 1 or 2 times.
does drawback chess have checkmate if there are no other pieces on the board? otherwise the black player could have just shuffled their black king back and forth on the 6th rank and never lost...

From now on, whenever I feel bad about myself I will remember how Eric missed the red king twice...
Yes, this was so painful to watch. At least I have comfort in the thought that he realized his mistake lol
And at least he still won lol
Pain watching grandmaster be blind
8:26 When you can take the opponents king, look for a better move
I was screaming at my laptop. Especially when he moves his bishop anyway, but back...
I literally yelled "No! Take the King!" in the middle of a fast food restaurant.
@@faithlegs Same
@@faithlegs me toooo. i was screaming "check mate! check mate!!!"
Just woke up my girlfriend shouting about this lol

who was sniping? maybe the 1st opponent, but the others clearly not
@@deinauge7894 even the first opponent, eric played in such an arkward manor it became fairly obvious what his drawback might be
I mean the 2nd guy was pretty suspicous moving his king into the 6th rank like that. @@deinauge7894
Oh dear, the old castle into check gambit.
Watching an IM miss taking the king twice was fun.
That was hilarious. In all fairness tho, how many of us viewers actually caught it when it happened!? 😂
@@scottysutherland3568 probably most of us, it was glowing red after all. He even moved the Bishop lmao
As Aman says: when you see a hanging king, look for better.
Only Eric can say "It's time to rage-quit." in such a calm voice 😂 @44:05

They do a great job on the drawback names too. I once had… Vegan: can’t capture knights lol
8:40 OMG ERIC, FOCUS
Moving the king
Makes a sad sound.
/end poem
11:03
Eric: "...you can't move to the 6th rank!"
Me: "I hope that this is a White-only drawback... because for Black it would be brutal."
...very asymmetrical... at least Black would be able to theoretically Queen a pawn..."
8:26 bishop takes C1 😭
It was so much fun! more of this plz Eric!

It's not supposed to be fair. That's the point of a drawback.

8:26 When you forget that in Drawback Chess you can take the King...
That first game your opponent was stream sniping sooo obviously....
Nooo that ending
So sad 😂😂

It actually don't... Or I'm just dumb 😂

Even in drawback chess, ELO ruins the game.
Untrue.
The player that loses will lose elo but the drawback itself gains elo. The winning players drawback will lose elo and thus be considered easier.
@@nosphoenix1911-- Is "Taking Turns" not brutally difficult at 400-some elo? Why are the relatively easier drawbacks at 1000+ elo?
I just played my first drawback chess game, and my opponent put my king in check, and I managed to castle out of it somehow. Then, I lost. Turns out, my opponent took my king “en passant” 💀
Haha wow that rules actually
broooo when he missed he could take the king in the first game cause the opponent moved the king into check ToT
Anyone else legit yell
NOOOOOOOO......
Twice........?
Taking turns is just too restrictive to be interesting.
8:26 OH NO😢
Does anyone know what Eric studied at University?
something like computer science and media studies iirc
Let's GOOOOOOOO ERIIIIIIC
Drawback chess is really funny!!! 😊
Did you try to take King on 6th rank?

It's also a vicious drawback. Trading queens puts you on a very short turn clock.
That's not quite the same. That would mean you could never move a piece twice in a row, but in fact you can
@@sleepheartcat But you can't though... thats the whole point of the rule.

@@sleepheartcat No thats not the rule though. Literally based on the video, he had to move each piece once before being able to move any piece again.
Pain watching grand naster blind
What are u doing with your bishop?? 😂😂😂
I played number of the best as black, and it was really bad
Stream-snipers are so incredibly lame. To them I say, get a life.
Takes the queen?? Lol what
it hurts so bad hahaha
How dare ye snipe?!
Glad that "snipper" still lost on time
does drawback chess have checkmate if there are no other pieces on the board? otherwise the black player could have just shuffled their black king back and forth on the 6th rank and never lost...
asdf
First game was definitely stream sniping lol
first?
