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.

    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.

      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.

    Between 8:14 and 8:32 Hikaru said ‘oh’ 15 times and ‘um’ 4 times.

    Fun fact:
    Castling has it's own sound effect, so you can tell when your opponent is castling.

    I believe you only hear castling when you can see it in this variant. If they castle behind the fog, you hear nothing.

  • @casonhall5268
    @casonhall5268 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    He didn't want to call check because the other player might be stream sniping? My brother in christ, Hikaru is literally calling out every single one of his moves.

  • @potatobake2707
    @potatobake2707 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

    The fact that Levy didn't want to tell Hikaru that there was a king just because the opponent might have heard if they were sniping is mildly annoying
