Excuse me WHAT?? 

Revelling his drawback helped him

I thought En Passant is a _Pawn_ move. Allowing any other piece to use it... nuts. Would just make it easier to say "you can't castle during, or through, check" like in regular chess so it doesn't mess people up like that.

He’s been warned about it before.

@@BananaWasTaken to be fair, I expected en passant to be when king moves THROUGH check while castling, not when he does castle while under check.

That still makes no sense, you can't en passant the square the piece started from, only the square it moved through.

So, if your opponent knows how it works, you shouldn't castle through check. Weird rule but I guess it works?

Yeah, I knew it the moment simp did it. I was like, yikes bro, you are about to learn the true power of en passant 😂

still a stupid rule though

I read the rule before, but was still surprised because en passant only applies to the in-between square, not the starting square. So I thought when King castled from e8 to c8, en passant was only available on d8, not e8

​@@konuralpyldzkan1495 No, it's genius. This way checkmates are still effectively checkmates, but if the drawback prevents you from ending the game, it doesn't reveal it to the opponent.

@@konuralpyldzkan1495 I think it's great, the "you can't castle out of check or through check" rule of traditional chess going away feels sort of wrong...but because the opponent's restriction could prevent them from taking your king you're allowed to leave your king in danger (unlike normal chess where you can't end your turn with your king in check)...so it interprets that rule as being there "because your king could be taken if you try to castle out of danger or through danger", and allows your king to be taken "en passant" when you leave your king in danger by castling out of check or by castling through check.

Here I am

In last video even!

he read a comment about it once but didn't believe it

I think I mentioned it. So maybe it was a lot of people. Either way, you most certainly can get en passant. You just can't in duck chess unless you are playing over the board and agree to it lol

I knew King can get en passanted, but I didn't know that included the original square. The King moved from e8 to c8, so I thought the only en passant square was d8. Yet the capture happened on e8 in the video.

That rook on f8: 👁 👄 👁

@@umuhyacinth6144 what’s your point? If rook takes Simp loses via his drawback.

after Kg2 Kg8 you shouldnt play bxf7 because you lose your king first.

@@MrDetectiv-uw8vc you play Bxf7 after Simp's queen move, because Simp then has to move his king and can only move it into check.

@@sparkyshore3543oh that? Now I see

The fact that you can't castle through checked tiles in ordinary chess pretty much demands that it work this way.

Yeah, it read like if the opponent failed that they would have instantly lost.

Meanwhile I did read the rules, but I thought that only applied to the middle square. King went from e8 to c8, so I thought en passant can only happen on the d8 square. Kind of like how when pawn goes from e7 to e5, you can't capture en passant on e7, but only on e6

@@danielhoang289eerrrm if you read the rules you would know it says both🤓

@@Waffles17643 Never said I was a good reader. Just that I did read the rules. Clearly I read it poorly

I cannot believe you have the audacity to have the Israel flag in your profile picture.

@@TheYeetedMeat I don't know how that's relevant to a chess video

Also true for castling through check you can read the rule on the website

I'm the opposite. I knew King can be captured for en passant if castling thru check. But I didn't know about castling while already in check. Since en passant normally refers to the "through" square, not the original square

He only takes video suggestions on Discord.

"knights can't jump over pieces", doesn't really make sense on it's own, as there is not really a clearly defined path the knight takes for it's move. Rather there are 3 different "paths" a knight can take to do their moves (and that is without any diagonal movement, if you include that you get 5 different paths even), assuming I am not missing any, which is entirely possible. And that is ofc only considering direct routes... if you even go outside that the amount baloons to insane proportions. SO yeah you would have to define first how the a knight is moving exactly

​@@GummieI A question that has stumped even the greatest minds in chess. "How does the knight move?"

​@@GummieIone could use Chinese knight rules: one vertically/horizontally, then 1 diagonally.

​@@GummieI ill leave that to chess simp

well regularly you wouldn't be able to castle out of check, I assume all those squares are fair game

I assume the intention is basically "I think your drawback prevents punishing this unsafe castle" - "nope you are dead"/"yeah it does" Basically a mechanic of calling a bluff because with challenges not every threat is real

In drawback chess, you have to capture the king to win, because it's possible that a checkmate is not really a checkmate when your drawback prevents you from actually taking the king. So, you are also allowed to move into check, gambling that maybe it's not really a check because your opponent can't take your king due to their drawback - but if they can and do, then you lose. Similarly, you're allowed to try to castle through check, gambling that it's not really castling through check because your opponent can't actually move to whatever square prevents castling due to their drawback. But if the opponent does move to that square, then you just lose.

@@peterhuston7888 thank you!

In ordinary chess you can't make a move that leads to the king getting captured. You also can't castle through checked tiles. Therefore, castling through checked tiles leads to the king getting captured.

On the other hand, needing to move it every five moves sounds too easy. Even revealing it is barely an inconvenience, because you can choose when to move it.

😂

Truly these are the worst lunch break for us English people

Basically, since the opponent's drawback means you might not actually be castling through or out of check, the game allows you to do so. But if the drawback doesn't prevent said check, the opponent is then allowed to move to the square the king castled from or through to punish what turned out to be an illegal move.

Holy monarchy!

yeah this is why It doesnt make sense to me. But we can assume its just a visual thing. and the rook will move first. seems more balanced.

In normal chess, you cannot castle through, into, or while in check. Since checks don’t really exist in drawback chess, king en passant was introduced as an alternative.

It makes for a better video

Well in the case of that second game, the opponent tunnel visioned hard after he learned his knights were invincible, costing him the game.

According to Google, "The rules of Drawback Chess specifically mention this: "If your king castles out of or through check, then on your opponent's next move, it can be captured by playing any move to the square it left or moved through (i.e. its home square and where the rook lands)." (Reddit)

​@@dd0buzzacc989yep, this happened to me too, and it's a stupid rule

You're allowed to take a king who just castled through check, and Drawback chess calls it 'en passant' for the memes

@@That_One_Kobold You can't castle out of check in normal, so this exists here.

​@@That_One_KoboldDon't blame it on drawback chess, blame it on chess rules.
