"This is the one drawback that does not incentivise me to play aggressively. I'm still going to play aggressively, because drawback chess in general incentivises me to play aggressively."

'Drawback Chess, But Nobody Knows What's Going On' So normal chess but i'm the one playing 😭

Honestly I prefer when you know your draw back and intelligently play around it

Early experiments in psychological reinforcement had pigeons given a button, taught that it provides food, and then randomly changed the button to require X presses before paying out. The pigeons became superstitious, performing strange dance rituals they thought would cause the button to produce food. This is a metaphor for the 2nd game.

This is what happens when you have 20/20 vision for threats that don’t exist.

30:20 Bro gulped so hard

You can indeed castle out of or through check, however your opponent will be able to capture your king en passant, I have done it to people several times.

Bro forgot that there were "rerandomized every turn" drawbacks

The RNG of the winds of fate game was so disadvantageous for you, damn. It confused you so bad that it appeared to switch in specific moments and then didnt make any sense.

Recognized the opponents drawback in the first game fairly quickly. Weird king moves usually mean 1 of 4 drawbacks. They have to move their king every 5 turns, they have to move their king in the last 3 moves to capture, they have to move their king forward once every 6 turns, or they have to have their king on the 3rd rank by move 12. The first 2 usually result in castling and then repeating king moves in the corner. The last 2 usually result in delayed bongclouds

23:34 I think you can castle through check in drawback chess but your opponent can take your king en passant if you do so on the next turn, provided that your opponent's drawback doesn't prevent moveing a piece to the squares that's covered by the castle's path

SPOILER FOR THE FIRST GAME DRAWBACK It's funny how Tony always mentions the "cowardly" drawback in th intro and got it in the first game

7:51 Hi editing Tonyyy, always good to see you.

not seeing any limited movement is scarier

Can we get the odd episode where you do know your drawback again? I love this variant.

I think you should do more drawback games where you know your drawback since it's interesting how you work with it

30 minutes of Drawback Chess and I have food. How excellent is that?!

2:45 saddest moment for iwc😢

Tony loving “oh my days” these days 😂😂😂

At this point there’s one big challenge left: Win a game of drawback chess, not knowing your drawback, but your opponent does.
