GMHikaru and GothamChess attempt to play Fog of War chess while blindfolded.
(Yo dawg, I heard you don't like seeing chess pieces, so I made you play a game where you can't see your opponent's chess pieces while you can't see your opponent's chess pieces.)

@@AmishMicrowave The problem is maintaining an accurate record of where yours and the enemy pieces are over the course of multiple turns. Not everyone has the ability to see things so clearly in their mind like that. I can imagine it might come with lots of experience, if you don't have that ability already, but if you're going about life thinking everyone has memory like that then you're sorely mistaken.

9:12 - yep you can castle out of "check" because check doesn't exist in this variant. It's actually an essential resource in some of the Fog of War strategies that your opponent can use

@altervisi7748 Год назад

He knew this, the reason Hikaru was confused was he thought that there was a bishop on f8, and knight on a5 (it was the other way around). Bishop on f8 would block a castle as its between the rook and the king.

@thegoodgeneral Год назад

@@altervisi7748 yeah but Levy didn't say "you see the king." He just said "whether it's a check or not I don't know."

@almightyhydra Год назад

@EebstertheGreat 3 года назад

It's weird the way people think when they're on the spot in front of a camera. "Oh no, someone might be sniping my stream. Maybe coded audio will stop them from looking at all of my pieces."

@taryth. 3 года назад

They might just be listening to the audio. Since the blindfolded person needs to say all his moves, you can just listen and focus on your own screen. Also, as spectators, we view the board as the most important part, while the players are mostly in their heads.

It makes sense that you can castle out of check in this format (in almost all situations) - opponent doesn't have the knowledge that you know you are in check - like you could not see the checking piece - the only case you could be forbidden to do so is when when you are being checked by a piece that you see and you also see a piece that sees your piece that sees the checking piece.

10:51 - yeah Be7 and Bf8 is probably a better strategic move in Fog of War, but when you're playing a provisional player, they'll typically keep a bishop or queen on a5 to have ideas of taking on d4 and if you take back with your c-pawn on c3 then there's a chance your king is still on e1 and they can take it and win the game.

I think at 14:14 the white pawn moves forward 2 squares which if blacks pawn was on the adjacent square would allow for an en passant, and that because of this when the queens pawn moves forward it sees an empty square lit up behind the pawn revealing that the pawn was moved by 2 the previous turn.

theres no check rule in fog of war because the opponent may not know they are in check if they cannot see the piece attacking the king. hence theres no checkmate, you instead just take the king one move later
