lichess.org rolled out the "Crazyhouse" variant a few days ago, and here I take a crack at a Crazyhouse Bullet Arena!
Rules for crazhouse: en.lichess.org/...
73 players, including Grandmasta23, crosky, and LM TonyRo. Final standings: en.lichess.org/...
John, I know doing variants isn't generally within your normal videos and practice, but personally this was extremely, extremely fun to watch and I really hope it wasn't a once off! Would love to see some more of these. And as always, thanks for the great videos, my chess has become more solid through watching you. Also looking forward to the Scandinavian repertoire :)
+Ciaran F Extremely fun
+Ciaran F well said. That was awesome :)
+Ciaran F +1 variants rule
That was hilarious! Would definitely like to see more of this :)
+styx85 I'll keep 'em going!
That cheapo against Tony gave me a chuckle
+James McConville That makes ONE OF US JAMES.
+James McConville :D
+Tony Rotella LOL - We understand Tony......we understand.....LOL Very nice to know that you have a good sense of humor.
+James McConville lol :P
Wow, very entertaining stuff John! Perhaps you should start a chess variant series on your channel where you play fun variants from time to time?
+Steinar Lima Good idea, Steinar. I need to make a variant playlist and play the different variants that have been rolled out on Chess.com and lichess.
they should play crazyhouse for the candidates tournament to determine the challenger for the world champion.
+jason engler Aronian would crush! Apparently he's extremely good at bughouse, so I'd bet crazyhouse would be a breeze for Lev.
Really enjoyed this. Definitely want to see you play more of the Crazyhouse variant!
+Johan Irvall Thanks, Johan! Glad you're liking the crazyhouse vids :)
Always love to see your streams although I must warn you the AFC and NFC championship games are Sunday (2pm central).
+Jason Rawls ---- That's a good point.....but my team ain't there soooo......MORE CHESS!!! : )
Yea me personally Id watch the chess stream but I know for many others the football games are a pretty big event, at least in the U.S.
12:30 literally a 10 second game, lmao, wonder why he left his knight.
This was fun, of course! I'd watch more if you made them. But what I'd really like to see is some 960 games.
This is a great variant because it's pure chaos, but as you said, can actually help strengthen your tactics and calculation.
You're very good at this, JB!
Adding Crazyhouse to Lichess seems to be a success. This was an extremely entertaining video, John!
+T. Alexander Lystad Hey there, Alex - glad you enjoyed the video! How are things with you? You'll be disappointed to know that I confused the Norwegian and Danish flags in one of my vids the other day ;)
+John Bartholomew I'm good! Oh, I noticed your confusion. I definitely noticed. You can redeem yourself by listing the countries that make up Scandinavia and their capital cities.
+T. Alexander Lystad Glad to hear it! Haha - I'll keep this "challenge" in mind :)
"I'm kinda on tilt right now". John, this game IS tilt! :) awesome stuff, as usual
You're to good at this variant :p
next time anti-chess bullet tournament. lol, that game is so counterintuitive.
Very well played, even against crazyhouse experts! You're exactly right that the variant is good for training your calculation skills, for example my 27-move win over IM Squarology: en.lichess.org/wRkKCi6l
Nice cheapo over Tony too! :-)
+Daniel Dugovic Dang, well-played against IM Squarology :)
Re: Chat "Anyone else have 'Drop it like it's hot' in their head?" -Anton
Damn you anton, now i'm gonna have that song in my head every time I play crazyhouse.
Hahha - "Now I think you're finally out of ammunition, Now you are going to feel the pain." !! #FinsRules!
John, this video is fantastic :) nice seeing you play this variant and spicing it up with a few berserks
John I love this game mode! Please more videos of this ones :D
-Your mexican fan
I've played about 60 games of this on Lichess and got up to about 1800 then have levelled out at about 1550 ... it's insane. Brutally getting mated by 2 knights and pawn from nowhere after 3 minutes of sustained attack with about 20 pieces haha .. all good fun its quite addictive ;)
WTF happend that first game ? So fast ! I thought ok, a scandi, John has this. Two moves later, game over! Checkalinalichlava checkmate! Bamm. Nice video. I love this variation.
12:02
"I'm pretty sure he was playing terribly. As far as strategy goes..."
That's actually not true. If you play Japanese Chess, since pieces can come from anywhere, it's top priority to make a zone defense where drops (and promotions) can't be made.
If anything, you expecting a normal queenside castle to fend off a quick attack is the strategic mistake here.
Fun yet instructive. Thanks!
+Ritvik Radhakrishnan Thanks for watching, Ritvik!
More crazyhouse would be awesome! :) Everyone at my chess club is obsessed with bughouse, so this was cool to watch. I like bughouse/crazyhouse because aggression and sacrifices are often rewarded :D
I want to see some tactics puzzles developed for this variant!
1min is indeed very fast for this variant. I'd love to see a few 5 minute games in crazy house and/or 960. That would be soo cool :)
lovely!! more of this please :) i have searched the net on crazyhouse tactics and lessons but none :( with vids like yours i can snap up some play. maybe longer games like 3 mins will be better so we can get your thoughts on every move.
cheers
Hey John, I'm coming here from your more recent videos.... just stopped by to say keep that beard 😅😅
Wow I used to love you, now I super love you. I wouldn't complain if you made a crazy house vid every day! The instruction was awesome as well!
I enjoy your bullet games !!
+basdfgwe Thanks, basdfgwe!
Agreed with many of the comments; it would be awesome to do a crazyhouse video once in a while even if it's not part of your standard repertoire of videos.
Throwing everything you have at your opponent seems to be the best way to approach the game, especially for bullet.
Cool stuff, thanks for the share. Also, this will sound weird but you have really smart eyes I must say, lol.
that was fun! I hope the +668 on the rating also helped you feel better after the hit you took in bullett the other day when you berzerked!
Wow this was a lot of fun! Please more crazy house games in the future! I don't care what time control you use!
"Im going to hack up his king real good here... watch this" - John "youre done son" Bartholomew
+fastr1337 Hahaha - "you're done son"!? Careful - I might start using this :)
John you might want to take a look at Chess Evolved ... its still in Beta but i believe you will enjoy it ;]
I agree with Ciaran. I hope to see more variants videos. It's great for the audience and thus great for the channel.
Thank you john
It was wonderfull
+THE niMI Thanks for watching THE niMI :)
great video, john, would love to see more of this variant, that cheapo against tony had me laughing really hard too lol
I've been addicted to this variant over the last few days. I'm terrible, but it's still fun.
Definitely interesting & funny, very brilliant, compliments
Are you allowed to put a pawn at the end and get a queen in return?
Ibtihaj Khan not on first or last row.
+ Ibtihaj Khan You are not allowed to put a pawn on rank 8 or 1 for an immediate Queen, you can put them on 7 or 2
Haha this was definitely crazy! :D So much fun!
Great video John...keep it up! Really enjoyed this fun game type.
+Troy Frandson Thanks Troy!
This was so much fun to watch, John! I, for one, would love to see some more variations in the future!
+cripple1313 Thanks for watching!
Hilarious! Very enjoyable change of pace. Nice for once in a while. Thanks John.
+Coleman Adamson Thanks for watching!
(11:40) It's like forget one's back rank as a kid and being swindled.
I would love to see a longer time control of this, or maybe even a simul.
damn that pawn on f7 @ 0:31! hah! awesome, i want to try crazyhouse now.
Ooo, this is fun!! Never seen Crazyhouse before.
Subbed. More bullet variant tournaments!
Like! Thanks for going out of your comfort zone.
Yesssss definitely need more crazyhouse.
I always watch the full ads at the beginning of the video so you get more money. It's the little things!
+Rick Cozart I very much appreciate that, Rick! Cheers.
really? if I watch those stupid annoying adds....what it's monitored? if I don't skip you get 💰?? well that's simple then I guess I'll watch well I won't watch the adds I'll stare at girls until it's over 💰 💰 💰!
@@JohnBartholomewChess Do you get a little more if I click on the ad ?
sweet first mate!
+n Thanks!
More of this please ! Perhaps a standard game ?
Completely far out! Great fun !!! ;O)
How can I play crazyhouse on lichess?
v happy to see John having this much fun playing a variant.
+seanunderscorepry It was a blast! There's definitely a lot of fun to be had in playing the occasional variant :)
Do you do lots of variants ("ChessNetwork" also does "3 checks", "king of the hill", "racing kings" "3 second starting and 3 second increment only" tournaments). Just wondering.
+Peter Smythe Hardly any. Though I might play more!
Are you allowed to place a pawn on a promotion square in this variant? For example at 14:16 your opponent had @a1=Q+ and then you had to block with the knight I guess. :D This was a lot of fun to watch, never played bughouse/crazyhouse before so this looks... crazy, - as the name suggests. :D Great vid, John!
+zyffe Thanks, zyffe! And nope - you're not allowed to place pawns on the 1st or 8th ranks.
Do you ever live stream on Lichess?
Love these videos, keep them going John!
(6:40) 9 Pawns on your side. LOL
Hey John, can you explain why you like the french defense for crazyhouse? You don't seem to play it in your normal repertoire. I like it even for OTB chess though. It doesn't fit in your style I guess?
+TheBuddhaBilly Hey, TheBuddhaBilly - good question. In bughouse the French Defense is a good way to avoid quick attacks on f7 with Bf1-c4, so I was just trying to apply that philosophy to crazyhouse. In talking to Atrophied a bit, however, it seems the French isn't so great in zhouse.
That variant is weirdly fun.
And it makes me want to learn Shogi. I've heard that chess pieces are too overpowered for drops, when compared to Shogi pieces.
+Gadzinisko I heard the same thing. Shogi seems like a far more refined version of crazyhouse.
Still loving your videos John!! Stupid question: do you make a living from chess, playing, teaching etc.?
+mykeydrive I do! I've been teaching chess professionally for 5+ years now.
already?
+Vinicius Bueno I upload quick :)
YES! Please do more crazyhouse with longer time control. This variant is awesome and very entertaining to watch
+Etop Owertwon Noted! Thanks, Etop!
I didn't know about crazyhouse until this video and now I don't understand how I could live without it. This is so much fun!!!
+johnie john Have you tried it yet? It's a blast! :D
Woot woot! I like this variant
I love how crazyhouse combines the tactics of western chess with the feature of using you opponent's pieces, a bit like in Shogi.
Can you place your pawn directly on A-H 8 and convert it into a queen ? Was a good video to watch :)
+Greg Gregg Thanks! And no - you're not allowed to drop pawns on the 1st or 8th rank.
wonderful and funny man ahah
It's real crazy house there, but so much fun. Nice type of game, I like it
+Alexander Kharevsky Thanks, kochemer! Cheers.
YESS! THANK YOU, JOHN
Hey John, I really enjoyed this video! I'd love to see these more than every 2 weeks.
+Jacob Levitt Thanks, Jacob! Good to know.
This game mode is intense, unpredictable and chaotic, I love it!
blocking is annoying, but you cant block check from knight..
+Искрен Василев Knights are so beast in crazyhouse.
John, play again!
Yes more of this!
John, you beast.
Is there something you are not good at?
+Rubi Pinchasov Oh man, lots of things!
Wow, you're good!
Crazyhouse rocks!!!
This was fun!
Great videos
22:32 pawn fork
Do you ever live stream on Lichess?
+SwiggitySwooty I have, but only once or twice.
Awesome
Crazyhouse!!
more

+Doug Kline Thanks, Doug! Hope all is well with you.
