Dev of the website here! This is super cool to see! And there's currently lots of games happening on the website, surely people coming from seeing the video - thanks to everyone who's trying it out! Since this video was recorded a few days ago, we've made a bunch of improvements for things like clarity (showing you which squares are haunted), getting rid of the drawbacks that did not play out very well (like X-ray Vision), and we're still actively working on it. There's a lot of sharp edges but we're trying to take feedback and improve - thanks to everyone who tries it out and gives us their thoughts!

@williekaufman4101 Super fun idea, best of lucks. One thing which may not be currently in your hand is I just played 3 games and lost without me knowing it. when refreshing the page it said I lost due to running out of time, tho while the game was on it was opponents turn.

I think having a built-in feature to help streamers hide their drawback somehow would definitely help spread the game a lot more. At the moment I could see why a streamer would refrain from playing because of stream snipers.

Makes sense - I can add a button that hides your drawback. You still have to check it at the start of the game, though, so it's only a little more convenient, I think.@@gabrieljohnson6304

Gotta say, i like the idea, but some of those drawbacks are just absolutely unbeatable. I thought the x-ray thing would have given you atleast one turn to react to it but it was just insta loss, which makes it basically auto-loss at that point.

@williekaufman4101 3 ай бұрын

Dev of the website here! Ya, you're totally right, X-ray vision is way too savage - it's been removed. It's hard to make really difficult ones that don't feel stifling, but X-ray Vision wasn't tough-but-interesting, it was just kinda stupid. Plus we already have three-check as a drawback, which is a similar but less stupid version. There's been a bunch of improvements in the last few days since this video was recorded and we're still actively working on it so feedback like this is super helpful!

I definitely was thinking x-ray vision was too strong, but honestly could still be interesting if you just had to move the king instead of just losing immediately. That's how I interpreted it originally and was surprised when he lost as soon as he was in "x-ray check"@@williekaufman4101

Could maybe be a fun ruleset if it only counted as a check: ie you must move your king out of the x-ray on your turn, otherwise you lose. This would still be a major handicap. Maybe add in that your opponents piece can only x-ray through 1 piece. as an easier version

Is there any chance we will see more chess variants (or Fairy Chess) in the future? It's fun watching high level players play with different rules or more pieces, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of content of it on KZfaq. Pychess (which is a alternative fork of the website Lichess) has a bunch of fairy chess varients, and I think it would be fun to watch a game of Capablanca Chess (with Gothic alternate start, because it's a more balanced position and you will get more creative openings; otherwise White will be playing D3 or D4 at the start because the Archbishop has such a powerful diagonal targeting the rook in the corner).

You know what would make an interesting idea for chess? A lock feature, where every round, a piece is locked and its random. So move 1 (you and your opponent) bishop is locked (no big deal, can't move bishops anyway move one. Then it's randomized again, pawn locked (uh oh) move two. Then move three maybe it will say knights locked, so nobody can move a knight. Then move four maybe the bishop is locked and so on and so forth.

10:37 If black captured your rook, its a check, so you cant take back and must move your king to either b1 or d1. But, because of your opponent's drawback, they cant take your king and would take your rook on h1 instead. Then its another check, so you have to move your king again Assuming opponent rook doesnt leave the 1st rank, you must move your king until you escape the 1st rank via e2 or threaten the white rook at g1, g2, h1, etc.

I get drawbacks that can instalose me the game based on things I have limited control over, or prevent me from making necessary moves to avoid checkmate, he gets drawbacks like "you can't move your rooks until they're connected" which is basically standard anyway lmao.

If opponent forces you to move to a center square (say, by a check) you loose. This could even be a double drawback where neither player can use the center squares. Eric, you could also do this as a video not related to Drawback Chess. Your opponent has no way of knowing why you are not taking control of the center and not making captures there. This would show the importance of controlling the center with an extreme case where you can't do that at all. Idea?
