The WORST Drawback 

You aren't trying to guess it? It's its own mini-challenge

Cuz we used to watch 100-rated games where only Simp had a drawback

he could have just kept developing pieces that weren't attacking anything instead of blundering everything. This looks like a paid actor if you ask me.

​@@cristobalgauthier692 I guess it was just a misunderstanding of the drawback.

I thought at first that he could only attack pieces that had just moved or something.

From the way opponent played, I thought his drawback was something like "you have to capture pawns if a certain [unknown 2nd condition] happens" since his blunders came from capturing pawns

I was wondering why they kept going for trades. Usually trades don't happen that often.

Unless Simp's internet mysteriously crashes

I mean, it was actually impossible to win if opponent played correctly as described in the video...

​@@enderyu that would be most unfortunate

​@@NWRIBronco6 nope, it would be extremely easy to win... The drawback was as long as you have pawns. All he would have to do is sacrifice or promote all his remaining pawns and he would win. To do this he could even sacrifice his knights and rooks for opponent pawns

Age of Sigmar is get

That sounds like something a coward would do

The opponent can also read it and chose not to take anything

​@@locoludwin3228 well, not in this case due to the opponents drawback. But that was only discovered in the end

Yer, so the opponent can just not take all the pawns. Thus the possible stun lock.

@@drawmanbr7008 Drawback said you can't make non-capturing moves with pieces that could capture. The opponent should be able to prevent that sort of situation most of the time, by always having at least one piece that can't capture anything.

No cuz the opponent can simply refuse to take your most backwards blocked pawn and completely neutralize you

I think optimal play would be play super defensively, since defense isn't as affected. Hope your opponent is aggressive and blunders their attack, allowing you to have some free pieces to sac to push pawns

Pretty sure it's an automatic loss once you cannot follow with your drawback, so in this case if he did sac all his pawns the site would just give simp a loss

​@@brainha5747 Nope, it's specified in the drawback: "As long as you have pawns, [restriction]", so no pawn means no restriction If there is an additional loss situation, it is explicitly written ^^

@@brainha5747 drawback specifically states “as long as you have a pawn”

tbf he did choose an offensive tactic with lots of possible trades. while cant decline a trade. bruh.

I've won that drawback every time, far from the worst

​@@jeremyready8030 Worst to reveal, not worst to play.

worst drawback to reveal is "if at any point your king would be in check on an open board you lose", simp got that one in one of the early videos if i'm not mistaken

@@stevenglikin3219 I forgot about Homeland Security! If your opponent moves a piece into your starting 16 squares, you lose. I analyzed it a bit, and unless your opponent has a very restrictive drawback, you won't see move 4

worst to reveal is "you must move at least as far as you opponents last move". e4 qh5 qxf7 qxe8#, absolutely nothing your opponent can do abt it

Is it legal to promote a pawn to a pawn? (My guess is no)

Why? Get rid of your pawns and you have a free game.

@@DrZaius3141 that's entirely dependent on whether the opponent takes your pawns or not, unless you force them by checking them with a pawn

My guess is that promotion would open up the full board, or else you literally wouldn't be able to move the piece after a promotion. Or you really do just have to sack all your pawns.

An untouchable pawn just defines the size of your prison. You need the final pawn to be a passed pawn, and that's very easy to prevent.

The opponent normally wouldn't have to take the pawn, and even with that drawback they can just block the remaining pawns to force a draw

Difficult to trade that stuck two center pawns

The opponent could just trade all but one pawn and then block its advance.

That would be the play but the opponent saw his drawback. He was actually playing around it and would have made sure to keep 1 pawn alive. The opponent only lost because his drawback was hard to win with against a defensive opponent

If you lost all your pawns it would probably be an instant loss, based off other drawbacks

He's a big fan of Terrence Howard.

@@cadekachelmeier7251 what is that?

@@3141minecraft asia

@@3141minecraft An actor that was on Joe Rogan recently. He's in a weird conspiracy land and believes that 1*1=2 and Big Math just doesn't want to admit it.

That would only be reasonable to attempt if you already suspected the opponent's drawback.

@@TheSandvichTrials Why? Losing the paws makes all his other pieces way stronger. It should be among the default strategies for this drawback.

@@Alresu Because if the opponent doesn't have a drawback that you can use to force them to take, the opponent would just deliberately not take your pawn and then you're fucked. Remember, Simp has revealed the drawback, so you'd be an idiot to take his last pawn willingly.

@@TheSandvichTrials Absolutely. But if they have to block it also makes it harder for them to attack. In this case Simp was worried about the opponents pawns but since the opponent could not just take all of his pawns without ending the draw back, there would have been a plan of attack. I will not claim it would be easy. But it's a strategy.

Except that he always reveals his drawback, which means the opponent can simply not capture his pawn

He literally can't win.

@@EDoyl Trade in all pawns, go everywhere. There are drawbacks that prevent you from moving king, much deadlier if revealed.

@@pafnutiytheartist How could you trade off your last pawn? the piece in front of it cannot be captured.

@@pafnutiytheartist the opponent can simply not take

You can force the checkmate with a pawn

@@Moleoflands there's no checkmate, you have to capture the king. so not only do you need to "checkmate" with a pawn, it has to be in such a way that all possible escape squares on the 8th rank are covered by pawns.

you don't necisarily need to "sacrifice" (in the sense that you give them away). a piece can exist on the 8th rank , it just can't move until all pawns are gone. so you could also win by just promoting all of your pawns.

Probably can go back, as long as there's another pawn at the same rank as the horse when it landed. The challenge only limits where can you move to, not where you can move from.

whats that

@@reaganr652 If after you move and there's an opened file, you lose.

@@jeremyready8030 who even thought of that

@@jeremyready8030 Sounds very impossibe

Hard to do that when the opponent sacs all their pieces and you have no passed pawns

@@Moleoflands what I mean is I don't see why he was fighting against f4 at 5:00 for example, it could have been huge progress for him. or why he was so pessimistic about queenside pawns fighting against each other. besides, he only needed to sacrifice one of his extra pieces on d5 or f5 to unclog his doubled pawns. he was up two knights and a rook, or two knights and two rooks at some point. i think he just didn't realize his drawback would vanish once all of his pawns were dead. it really wasn't that difficult to make progress in his situation, make tiniest sacrifices and either push your pawns forward or get them captured.

@@rohan1864 yeah but the opponent could just decide to not take the pawns and limit mobility, he could have just captured every pawn except the doubled pawns and there would be no way to win

good try
