It would be fun if super GM's played this variant and after 15 or so moves tried guessing where the opponent's pieces(battleship style)..

I think this variant is really poetic. In war , armies have incomplete information about their opponents. And have to find out the position of enemy base camps. I think this variant simulates that scenario so well. Really cool stuff !!

Real war doesn't have "base camps". I have no idea where you are getting your ideas about war from... computer games maybe?

@@jrd33 Lol , wars don't have base camps ? They absolutely do. Generals would send batallions or some special units to specific positions in the enemy territory for variety of reasons like conducting a surprise raid , distraction , or maybe reporting enemy positions back to the headquarters. It's basic war tactics which have been employed throughout history in wars. And I found this variant of the game somewhat simulating that.

I don't know, in war you do reconnaissance by sending out scouts or by other covert means, not by just putting your unit somewhere and hoping that you're not walking into a trap. Both in ancient and in modern times, commanders usually have a pretty good idea of the enemy forces before engaging in battle. Obviously there are ambushes and stuff like that but most of the time, war is more similar to regular chess where you know what the other side is doing.

Hikaru also has a chessboard on his ceiling to visualize the board!

I love that brainstorm and exchanging ideas! Imaging them playing like 100 FoW games like that, how much they would grow!!

I love how Gotham smiles every time he confuses Hikaru

Hikaru listing all his mistakes and saying “i know where all your pieces are” and then loses

Classic example of a cocky show-off getting owned !!! Levy on the other hand calmly beat him without talking much!!! Great content 😂

1:19 i love how hikaru’s smile just instantly disappears

Levy: *breathes* Hikaru: I am gonna end this man's whole carrier, you gave too much information

Hikaru: I know where you pieces are Also Hikaru, literally the next move: oh I blundered, well the problem is I just didn’t know exactly where your pieces are Jesus! The whole video is about Hikaru bragging he knows everything and yet losing the game 🤯

When you move your Rook to f1 just to pretend you castled.

This is so awesome of a game mode variant -- I was LITERALLY just thinking about this concept a couple weeks ago and thought how it would be such a cool tactical style of chess that made it almost like a war, where information and maximizing the control of your pieces is key

Agadmator watching and ready to screen grab “sad Hikaru” and blow it up full screen

This is super interesting. I think this is more fun to watch than normal chess.

This exchange is more intimate than two lovers talking.

1:18 hikaru went from 😄 to 😥

1:27 Hikaru is doing the beth harmon challenge

I can already imagine the level of pre-moving damage to vision in this mode to avoid gambits for vision

I love how Hikaru tries to justify a bad move. He gambles way too much, then after it doesn't work out it's "Yea, but.... "

5:57 - I'm gonna play smth totally different 6:27 - proceeds to playing dutch defense, which he plays almost all the time

What an awesome last match, especially the ending, nice move from Levy

What about an imposter chess variant, So like one of the opponents pieces is actually your piece and you don't know which one your opponent has control over, but you wouldn't want to activate your own too soon because it would be discovered and just traded or something. Both players can move the 2 imposter pieces. Once you move your imposter on your opponents side they will know which piece it is. Imposter piece is randomly selected and cannot be a pawn, king or queen.

This makes it easier as beginner to visualize what are my possible moves every move

26:00 the thing here is hikaru can see there is nothing on d3 therefore it has to be a bishop on e4

This turns the game into something like StarCraft where using cheap units (pawns) to scout and get a read on openers (build openers). This is so great!

Guys it was black's turn to move. Levy just made a pre-move. He didn't miss capture the King. Although Hikaru left his king hanging for lols Levi had already made the premove he assumed that Hikaru would save his King.

its like in the terminal list when the fed guys found out reece had a shot on them

11:26 lol he forgot that you can capture kings, ie Rxg8 was much better

He’s lookin at the ceiling where he’s playing Gotham’s stream to see his placement

I’m not sure but i think levy gave away too much information

And here I am pretending to understand when hikaru and levy talk about how they know what each other is doing.

I like how they can memorise which moves they made and the postitioning the pieces were at and then there's me... Cant even memorise 1 opening

This seems like it would be good for beginners like myself to practice piece harmony

11:28 he could have won there since the aim is to take the king, and he had a straight shot on the opponents.

ChessTube as a whole has a very strong thumbnail game

«Im gonna pretend to look at the ceiling and calculate stuff” *Looks at the floor*

They should add more vision to the pawns . For example vision where pawn can move and captures

Since the mod seems to just uncover squares that your pieces can move to (whether its a capture or not) then if you don't have vision of your pawn's diagonal capture squares, they must be empty. And if you've got a pawn at your opponent's ranks and a diagonal square lights up but doesn't show a piece, that would indicate an available en passant? Gotta give this a try.
