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?

2:31 SOLIDifying me center. I see what you did there.

Yay another video that has disclaimers I love these disclaimers

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.

"this is a chess video" citation needed

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

@flint9759

7 ай бұрын

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.

@flint9759

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.

@tochoXK3

7 ай бұрын

Checkmate gives 20 points. Yes, you could theoretically mate and lose.

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

@davidtitanium22

7 ай бұрын

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

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?

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).
