In challenges where you have to do a whole lot of stuff, the opponents resign when they're down a bishop, in this challenge the opponent wouldn't even accept a draw when being down a queen. At least we can agree, they're not a paid actor.

Opponent could see he was nearly out of time, not going to accept a draw in that position. Also, they premoved the queen blunder, so it felt like they were hoping to flag the opponent from the very start.

Honestly, the deductions that were made given half the board being invisible were impressive, and I'd like to see this with a longer timer.

I'm sad that you never just moved a knight into your opponent's territory to accidentally step on one of their pawns.

You could've tried moving a piece into the unknown territory. It would be risky but possible if your piece is defended by a long ranged piece in your territory.

If logs are open couldn't you just see where your opponent moved which makes the challenge pointless?

"100 rated chess but you cannot access the opposite zone" - Nah, I'm gonna make him resign "100 rated chess but you can't see the opponents side" - Nah, I' gonna resign

You could add a condition to make finishing the game actually possible. How about the King is carrying a lantern so you can only see two or three rows in front of his current row, that way you can uncover more of the board by moving him toward the center.

Once he knew the king side was dead, he should have just tried moving his rooks and queen up, starting from the back rank and going to the second, etc. If you can't move to H1, try H2. You've taken a pawn, and now the king can't move forward, which he guessed it hadn't moved at all yet. Then you literally just have to push another piece back there and it's basically mate. He knew he'd taken a knight, king side rook, and the light squared bishop, and his opponent didn't castle. So unless he moved another piece to that side specifically ahead of time to avoid being mated there, it would have been nearly unstoppable. With both rooks and the queen, he could even use one of the rooks as a minesweeper. Game didn't end? Rook to G1, no mate? Rook G2. Your opponent will be confused as heck, but one step at a time you clear things out until you lose your rook and then... well, then you know where the blockage is stopping your mate.

No way he finds a check mate in 10.seconds guessing where the opposing King was. Especially as I'm 90% sure opponent was about to trade rooks

I was really expecting some fog of war moves! Sending a piece into the dark, logging where it is, and trying to use it. If you hear a capture, its dead. Or, if you try to move it and fail, dead. It gives some info in a risky way, also ghost attacks sound cool. Like assuming a pieces location and sending your queen to that square, not knowing until you get there if its a capture it not. Either way, this was a great challenge. Totally agree that removing the time restriction on another attempt would be awesome, but I dont think challenges get repeated often so who knows.

I actually covered the opponent's side when I first watched this video and then watched it normally for the second time for a better feeling about how you play it. But just want to ask a question: how did you block the records on the right?

This was suoer interesting! Id love to see this challenge again with more time to see how it plays out

It's the fog of war, but the fog is still

Interesting stuff, might need a bigger time limit since there's so many unknowns to have to think about, I was laughing when I saw 4:12 remaining vs your minute and a half lol

We've found Simp's weakness. It's the dark.

*chessboard click* "Something moved" honestly sounds like a great setup for a horror game. Like a FNAF-style game or something (loosely speaking - the kind of horror game where you have to sit tight at some place and make deductions while being told about movements all around you, and at some point you have to make a decision that you don't know if it will open a lethal attack on you).

This one was really fun, kind of simulating the 100 level experience

the trick is to watch it blind then watch it normally, it’s actually so funny def his best challenge yet

"something moved" It's like chess but a horror game

If you scroll your browser down so that you can only see Simp's half of the board, this video becomes much more intense

This challenge was pretty cool! I liked how they still played on after blundering Queen to a pawn.

No joke, I legit want to see this challenge attempted again

This video has the most "Aha" ever heard from chess simp

"I'm covering my screen" T R U S T

For the true experience, before watching the video, scroll down so that the opponent's half is obscured on your screen too, then re-watch it without it

it would be cool to see a series where you kept replaying the more interesting challenges until you beat them

This man really just defended his queen against a pawn with a bishop like that was going to deter a pawn...

This time the "WTF?" doesn't comes from Simp.

Pov: you can see the sequence of moves on the right 💀

I think you should retry this with the additional rules below - every 7 (or more) points captures, you unlock a new row that you can see

I’m assuming you had the notation covered as well for yourself?

the fact that he could just read the moves

One of the most entertaining video you made. Gj

You say that you don't see the board, but you can still see the moves on the right, so you didn't have to guess the first 2 moves, actually.

"something moved" i always think that and my board ist not covered.

*Something was moved.*

I'd like to see this again in a longer time control like 15+10, of course that is if you have the time to record for so long just for a short video for the day, which I understand could be very inconvenient

but he can see the moves played at the right of his board ????💀💀

i am begging you, please do it again with 10 minutes, this was by far the best one in a long time

This is a fog of war chess, except you forgot to bring torches.

He could just look at moves list at the right side

Waiting for the moment, when the phrase "Something moved" becomes a meme on the channel

"I'm definitely not a coward" moment

PLEEEEASE do this one again with a longer timer!! i loved watching this

You can see the moves on the side of the screen, right off the board.

Man first time lost by timeout

This concept is amazing you should do this again with a greater timer!

Imagine a similar challenge but whenever you capture a piece or pawn you can name squares equal to the captured piece's or pawn's value. From that point, you can see said squares.

Battleship Chess? Actually that sounds hilarious; why not: "100-rated Chess, but you can't see anything but the squares your pieces occupy at the start. Each turn you name a square and you can now see that square"

“Don’t take this pawn, use it as a shield” -proceeds to take the pawn

“Something moved” 😂

Huh, you weren't far off checkmating but the 100 rated got the reward from not giving up, and made your waste time with some useful forks. He has a future imo

I watched this video twice. Once with the top half of my monitor covered and the other without

played the same with half blind and made a brilliant move lol

Still waiting for the day Simp plays Fog of War, but this will do for now

With their king completely exposed in the middle of the board, you almost had a chance for a ladder mate with the rook and queen, if it weren't for the h pawn.

This was so much fun!

Win or loss, at least your opponent blundered their woman, which was very convenient.

That was actually super interesting. I'd love to see this kind of thing again.

Gotta try this one again, with possibly a longer timer and making some calculated yolo moves into the darkness.

That’s a first-of-its-kind challenge! Beautiful match!

Maybe you could try this challenge again without a timer, maybe even make it so the darkness moves based on where your pieces are, like real fog of war

I was expecting fog of war, but I realized in fog of war you can still see opponent's side so long as you can advance a piece that far.

"Instead of running out of time, I just end the video right here" Sounds like something a *coward* would do.

When you do fog of war, you have to be brave and step into the dark square tiles.

Challenge u cant see ur side of the bord

You can just see the moves on the side of the screen so you know where he just moved.

So with this challenge, if you move your pieces to the opponent side, you can no longer see them as well? Sounds absolutely impossible

this was really interesting but im disappointed you didnt get to play it out. do a part 2?

0:37 you could have just looked at the right side of the screen where it said “king’s pawn opening”

The "Aha"s make me lol every time

No blind moves into the other half of the board? I thought you weren't a coward!

That "ahaa" is sooo😂😂

I think a retry could be possible, but everytime you capture 3 of their pieces, the lowest row is revealed

When you see that the opponent was per moving for most of time

This must have been so stressful

That ending was cowardly

Well, it was a hard challenge indeed

He can see the moves so its like playing blindfold chesss

I can feel the Advance Wars Fog of War in this one.

"Something was moved" sounds very scary for some reason

make this one a series

i scrolled down so that i could only see the bottom half as well

You could look on moves when they got below covered area

I think you could’ve won by waiting for the opponent to blunder all their pieces and pawns, and then doing a ladder checkmate.

I was not predicting that. But I was predicting not to predict something so it doesn't count.

An average 100 rated player plays with his monitor closed, yet you still lost.

Fog of war chess: hardcore edition

you was up material, just attack.

You should do the same challange but every 8th move you can see enemy position
