How is it a win? White plants the duck in front of the pawn and you can't advance. Stalemating loses the game by rule.
@Modie

@@pairot01 Stalemate is different in duck chess. You are allowed to move your king to a square that is attacked. So the traditional stalemate isn't possible. A stalemate position in duck chess would be that you are playing as white, your king is on a8 and you have two pawns, one on a7 and one on b7. Now if the opponent places the duck on b8, you can't move anymore (neither pawn nor king), because you have to move first and THEN place the duck. In this case, white wins, because black forced a stalemate by putting the duck on b8.

“You know you're in love with Duck Chess when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” ― Dr. Seuss
That final game was probably my most favorite chess game I’ve ever seen. Please do more of this content Eric, you’re an absolute beast. It’s so beautiful to see just how much of a juggernaut you are at this.
The concept of Duck Chess is super interesting for someone that's not seen this variant before. The duck acts as a blocking piece so that others can't move into or through it. This results in some funky stuff, like denying bishops/queens/rooks their line of sight, which can make it really hard to mate someone or promote from a distance, cus you can just plant the duck in the way while you go about your usual strategy.
Honestly the most amazing and exciting chess content I've seen. That last game was Legendary and the build up to it from the previous games made it even better.
Appreciate the inclusion of Hammer's perspective. Really fun and good material.
I have my first college final today, this video being uploaded has made me feel a lot better. Thank you for playing more duck chess Eric 🦆

love having both up, seeing both perspectives.
Tnx for sharing this,,, I was working, so I missed it. I'm impressed with Erics strength in DuckChess. Let's face it, Hammer is no joke of a chessplayer. Even though he's been mostly doing commentary for the last years. Hammer said afterwards he was slightly thrown off by the timecontrol, since he's been playing DuckChess with more time mostly. Not to take anything away from Erics skills in duckhess. You're really really good man. Tnx again, I loved this match.

Brilliant Eric, wonder why Hammer values bishops over knights, in Duck chess, the knight is so powerful.
That is an adorably intimidating duck in the thumbnail. I love it.
Are knights stronger in duck chess since they can't be blocked like bishops, rooks etc?
@user-svqmbiv
Жыл бұрын
Yes, knights are definitely better than bishops and possibly even better than rooks.
38:38 actually Kb3 Db1 is just mate. If the king is trapped in the corner you don't even need the pawn to win. And yes, king + pawn v king is always winning, and so is king + any piece v king. CORRECTION: king + pawn vs king is actually a draw in a lot of cases. So the position at 36:50 is actually a draw with correct play and around 37:10 white makes some mistakes and the position becomes winning for black.

I have written a small duck chess tablebase, and you are incorrect. King + Rook/Queen is almost always winning. King + Bishop is sometimes winning. King + Knight is occasionally winning. King + pawn usually wins if it is a flank pawn, or if the central pawn is sufficiently advanced. In this case, the first position (after White took the rook, at 36:51) was a draw with correct play. White's biggest mistake was at 37:10. Instead of moving out of check in front of the pawn with Kd3@e4, he needed to go behind the pawn. The duck can be used to stop the pawn advance. Then, if Black continues shouldering the king down to the edge of the board (say Black king on d8, White has the opposition on f8 and duck on d7) then Black plays Kc7@e7 preventing White from retaining the opposition. If White makes a king move, Black just moves back. If White makes a pawn move, Black wins the race to the pawn. This only works from behind the pawn because the pawn itself defends the squares diagonally in front.

@@tcooke182 Interesting. I wrote a small tablebase myself (admittedly not a very good one, but it seemed to be correct) and my result was that bishop or knight is always winning, unless you lose the piece by force. I even tested it on some weaker pieces: a rook that can only move one square is still winning, a bishop that can only move 1 square is a draw, unless the king is trapped in the corner. What does sometimes/occasionally winning mean for you? Like only if the king is trapped on the edge of the board? About the king + pawn v king: I couldn't test that one, I just assumed it had to be winning, because eventually you have to stop blocking the pawn. It would be really interesting to see how the drawing mechanism works as it doesn't seem obvious to me at all.
love when eric figured out hammer was going by plain chess piece valuing, and started exploiting it
I just want to hang a lamp on “Things are getting Quacktical” because that made my day
I have never enjoyed any other chess variant as I am enjoying watching Eric playing Duck chess. keep up the great work
Eric talks so smooth and calm even if he only have a minute or two. I have a mental break down under 5 min.
That "I'm trying to make things more quacktical" at 11:00 caught me off guard.
Quality Duck Chess content!!!
I love duck chess! It would please me greatly if you continued making duck chess!
I love the continued use of duckzwang.
Eric: "things are getting quacktical."
Think it's safe to say Eric is the world's best duck chess player. Incredible to see an IM destroy a GM because they put so much time into the mode. Eric you demonstrated pure destruction at this mode. Not only are you better but faster too. Incredible
LOL not even "duckpassant" lmao I like that one!

Eric is a Super Quack Master! 🦆🦆
“He’s moving the f-ing duck as far as possible!” LMAO
At 6:55 GM Hammer deserves a special accolade for lining everything up neatly on the 6th rank
You seems very natural at this and I 200% believe that is because it has something to do with the duck, lmao. Also quack.
"I hate time." lmao
"Duckpassant" is the funniest word I've heard all week.
Duck Chess opening tier list!
Opponent: im scared Eric: 🙂
it would be so cool to see a rematch after Hammer learns that knights are better than bishops in duck chess because they are less blocked
That duck endgame was so cool
At 11:07. "Trying to make things more quacktical.". That's gold.
What a beautiful battle!
Seems like knight is better than bishop in duck chess, not sure why he thinks otherwise

Жыл бұрын
I get the sense that he likes to control the center with pawns and bishops, and have multiple lines of attack or pins with bishops. But after being cracked by knights, maybe he will have to reconsider. Having only one bishop seemed to hurt his strategy.
I think there’s a simpler win in the final position: after Ke1da2 black goes Kb3db1. White has only Ka2 and Kb2 with black capturing the king on the next move
When you come for the king, you best not miss.
OG - that Hammer is as crazy as duck!
10:15 Eric unknowingly responds to Hammer's comment 🤣

Hello Mr. Rosen. Another great video
Eric, on move 24 of a game of duck chess " Yeah this is getting confusing now "
4:36 Eric: _uuh, fancy_ Hammer: *why did I do that* Sounds like when I make a terrible sacrifice but my opponent respects it and doesn't take my hanging piece
This is so entertaining, and the GM is really a great personality
Actually at 38:38 you go king b3 duck b1 to win, instead of pushing the pawn like Rosen said
Hammer is a video game villain

Pattern recognition just goes out the window. Openings are different. Hanging pieces is different. So much training and instinct that now leads you right into mistakes. You practically need to re-train your brain. If Magnus spent six months training in Duck chess? He'd probably be pretty good. But that would also probably damage his normal chess skills -- at the level he plays at he can't afford to give an inch.
That was fun
Ever since Duck chess has been invented, Eric Rosen took it SERIOUSLY xD
"He thinks knights are worth more then bishops I will crush he incorrect feelings" Oh no
Eric seems quacktically very strong at this.
That’s a hard ass duck 🦆
Man, I like how a simple duck on the board makes GMs feel like they're really bad
Eric have you played the Seirawan chess variant? That could be some awesome content (though you'd probably need another streamer at your level to play with since it's not quite as popular as Duck Chess yet). It's basically normal chess but you can develop a hawk (bishop+knight) or elephant (rook+knight) to any square on the back rank on the first turn you move that piece. Way fun stuff.
