I wonder what the opponent was expecting Simp to do when he couldn't copy a check. Like, resign?

I love how part of the video was literally Simp's opponent realizing Simp was mirroring them and trying to do something with it. Then when they checked Simp's king, they were probably thinking something like "Hah, you can't mirror that!" while Simp was thinking "Finally, I can't mirror that!"

The opponent thought he was so smart making these random moves and thinking Shrimp will copy each of them, until Shrimp decided to stop fooling around and beat his ass. 😂

I immediately thought of two situations that should be clarified before the game started, and they both actually turned up: - Does it matter if something is captured? (which would mean Bxd5 isn't forcing Bd4) - Does it matter where it moves FROM? (which would mean Rb8-c8 isn't forcing Rf1-c1) Apparently, Simp thinks the answers are "no" and "yes", but it was never really addressed.

His interpretation is the more intuitive one to me, just move the same type of piece from a symmetrical starting square to a symmetrical target square. Instead of identifying moves with their notation.

I don't think some people are properly reading the OP's question. There are multiple ways one might interpret the word "mirror" in the challenge description. Those insisting there is only one way to interpret it are immediately proven wrong by the fact that, in this thread of replies alone, there have been multiple interpretations. The OP was right to wonder how Simp would interpret the rule. I had the same questions he did.

I'm pretty sure partway through the challenge your opponent realized you were copying him and with the Queen move he decided to test it truly, but he didn't realize the second half of the challenge meaning if u can't copy it's a free move. He could have easily given u a repititional draw with his king though, but he's not a coward, unlike the dude who was playing the white pieces

I have watched Aman Hambleton's entire copycat speedrun, and NONE of his games had gotten even CLOSE to the level of chaos I have just witnessed. Good job!!!
