From now on, whenever I feel bad about myself I will remember how Eric missed the red king twice...

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

As Aman says: when you see a hanging king, look for better.

They do a great job on the drawback names too. I once had… Vegan: can’t capture knights lol

Only Eric can say "It's time to rage-quit." in such a calm voice 😂 @44:05

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. 😄

8:26 bishop takes C1 😭

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..."

That first game your opponent was stream sniping sooo obviously....

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

It was so much fun! more of this plz Eric!

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

This was great! Hope you do it again sometime! Thanks!

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

broooo when he missed he could take the king in the first game cause the opponent moved the king into check ToT

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” 💀

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.

Let's GOOOOOOOO ERIIIIIIC Drawback chess is really funny!!! 😊

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

How dare ye snipe?!

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."

It's also a vicious drawback. Trading queens puts you on a very short turn clock.

Taking turns is just too restrictive to be interesting.

Stream-snipers are so incredibly lame. To them I say, get a life.

asdf

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...

first?

First game was definitely stream sniping lol
