Then he ends up capturing your king with his own king

I just realized how smart it was moving his king to your side in the end! He knows he is losing and you get queens, but because the kings don't see farther than one square and can capture themselves he hoped you make an unfortunate king move and lose through that. Tricky Gotham there

And sticking to light squares means the bishop will never detect him, so he can be completely hidden until the kings see each other or white promotes.

@supertron6039

@@Freakinawesome333 He must have a general idea because the castling sound is heard in fog of war and Gotham knew that Eric's king wasn't on Queen Side because of the Rook trade on B file. Levy's pawn push on King Side was very intentional, he wanted to trick Eric's king into taking a pawn or trap him using his Knight and Bishop. So after he lost all his pieces, he knew Eric would promote Queen Side pawns, so he started a journey to meet the other king on the other side of the board.

@RSFArocks

@@Freakinawesome333 Nah, Levy did know what it was because Eric's king was blocking his pawn from advancing, and because pawns can't move sideways and the bishop captured his bishop on the other side of the board, there's no other piece that could have been there.

That intro of levi just losing his god damned mind while Eric is just chilling was fantastic.

I love Eric’s “hee hee” reaction to hearing Levy say his duck chess rating

Eric casually playing with his food. How savage.

Knights are actually really good in Fog of War because the queen can see a bishop, a rook, a king, and a pawn if any of those pieces are attacking it. However, the knight can attack the queen without it knowing to take or move out of the way.

@DaTimmeh

Жыл бұрын

Yes, but it goes both ways, the knight only sees if it’s attacked by another knight. Otherwise they’re entirely reliant on the other pieces. Try to use them early, while there’s still decent vision of the board, then probably trade em sooner rather than later.

​@@WaterDroplet02Incredibly funny out of context

I think in this game it's important to pick up as much information as possible from the little changes in the fog. Like if after the opponent's move some square becomes visible or invisible for your pawn. Seems a square is visible if you can legally put something there and pawns have these unique move rules so they see the square in front only if there's no piece there, but they see the two squares diagonally from it only if there is a piece there. After a move from the opponent, you may not see what happened exactly, but the fog may change and you can still guess something from that often.

"Oh so my visibility is gonna increase" and then 5 minutes later I'm looking at a bishop and pawns and the inky black void

eric casually saying" are we friends" to gotham

I love when these two collab, my favorite non grandmaster chess players by far!

This is basically how it feels me playing someone good at my 1300 level. They just see all the stuff I miss

The juxtaposition of the different streaming styles...Eric is so chill, Levy is just unhinged SCREAMING at his chat XD

It occurs to me that you could "blunder" a piece, and he'd think that there's no way you'd just move your piece to a place where it's totally undefended, OR conversely think it's some gambit or "there's a funny line where..." trick of yours, and just not take it.

it seems like one strategy would be to play very conservatively in the early stages of the game, but also to use the queen, rooks and bishops as "flashlights" to find the opponents pieces.

Was that your first fog of war game? You picked it up nicely. I love fog of war. There are some CHEESE openings that you need to know. My favorite is English opening pawn and then queen all the way out to capture king on 3rd move. Noobs fall for it. There are a couple other ones with bishop queen combo and knight queen combo.

So... in the Fog of War variant, the king is a capturable piece? Interesting. Makes that piece harder to locate, I guess, which makes sense, considering how Levy's king managed to sashay all the way down to Eric's 1st rank without detection.

@CatCheshireThe

It seems like a necessary rule because being told you're in check (or being prevented from making a move because it would put you in check) would give you more information than you might otherwise have from the king's tiny sight range. So instead they've just ditched the concept of check entirely.

If someone so petty like you found a woman and has children I guess I have nothing to be so afraid of. :) Anyways I just finished your little rant on feminine and masculine qualities and it was quite entertaining. I guess I agree levy sounds particularly whiny in this clip but that’s just him putting on his persona for his audience of stupid gen Z kids. I’m aware that you probably classify me as one of them, but I can assure you I’m not as stupid or sheeplike as my peers.
