blud learnt this opening from martin

Playing chess at 2am incentivizes you to play aggressively since your opponent is more likely to blunder

17:40 "NOOOO! that was checkmate!" said iwantcheckmate after getting checkmate

IWC: "Hold up I'm low on time" turns into Stockfish

The cat photo today was extra cute!

Petition to rename the channel to "Iwantladderscheckmate"

I would love to see a rating climb! It's really interesting hearing your thought process as a much weaker player

You know, just because you need to cut back the talking to focus under time pressure, it doesn’t mean you need to speed up the most exciting part of the game too fast for us to follow. We are IWCM fans, but we are chess fans too. We wanted to see how you got that first win without having to change our speed settings or pause unpause pause unpause through the whole thing.

Dont know how to make the idea work but what if:

Chess but you hallucinate, pieces randomly appear, dissappear and change into different pieces and you and/or your opponent needs to remember which pieces are real, which aren't and what should and shouldn't be there!

Good luck! :3

Hi @iwantcheckmate, do you think it would be better to add post game commentary when you get low on time so we still get to see the end of the game? Not analysis of the whole game but just adding your commentary as an overlay on the live game in editing

2:29 opponent why not take the ROOOOK

First game "I'm up the exchange" somehow manifested the opponent to completely ignore taking the rook with the knight..

Drawback Cards:
Instead of randomly receiving a drawback, each player gets 3 secret drawback cards.
During the game, you can activate one whenever you want to sabotage your opponents.

Stockfish makes 3 moves, Martin makes 2 moves and it loops

Martin starts.

Im loving those silly cats in the thumbnail

Tony have some pity on us 1000 elos. Need to drop it to half speed to follow what’s going on during the speed up portions

I like seeing the variants and the bot challenges, but watching IWC play normal chess is definitely my favorite!

6:05 bro wants checkmate

1:41 definitely, you spent 13 seconds to make the obivous move while talking about something else. We love listening to you, but that bleeds your clock
