It's not very powerful given that exd2+ is followed by Kd1, a 1 square move that blocks the pawn from promoting. Not to mention the pawn blocks the queen from attacking and is only protected by the queen. It could take another piece several turns to defend the pawn (due to the challenge) during which if simp loses either his queen or the d2 pawn by any trade, he loses the chance for an easy checkmate. It's far from an easy game given that all his moves continue to be limited by enemy moves.
@@dmitriygryaznov9210 it is opposite: Simp could keep all pieces near each other, but decided to overextend with each move, because building a fortress sounds like a coward strategy

He prob didn't want a boring game, but to win this one he should have stayed defensive and waited for the opponent to blunder while trying to defend most things with a 1 square move.
He couldn't develop naturally. Not a lot of natural development moves that short. You can't move a Bishop 2, if a horse moves. He also can't move the horse if a horse moves, etc.
@@SioxerNikita if you watch the video you’ll notice there are plenty of moves where he can develop knights and bishops, but chooses the pawn move. I get why. Endangering a piece when you can’t guarantee a recapture or retreat is risky. But too many pawn moves makes it hard to defend anything anyways Edit: just rewatched and my point is proven in the first like 3 moves. Instead of fianchettoing the bishop, he uses the chance to move a pawn 2 squares twice. If he did develop, he’d be defending f7 and stopping the check
@@cherrylk4188 Yes, he could... but he also can't even guarantee to be able to use that development, because if he gets a 1 move, both are completely 100% useless... If you want to argue ANYTHING, he should've developed his queen. He is also playing against a 100 player, which he has shown many times to be decent at predicting to an extent (or at least play enough games to get the video he wants, with the amount he makes is still not that many games)... 100 rated players has a tendency to bonkers moves, so unless you have a backup plan, relying on defense with a technically valuable piece counter attacking is not worth it, when he could technically develop the board. There is simply too much inconsistency to really develop knights and bishops, especially early.
@@SioxerNikita A pawn can't even capture if he only has a 1 square move. That makes them pretty useless, too. And the whole video is him completely missing opportunities from wild 100-rated player blunders that completely screwed him over because he couldn't defend. Aaaand he couldn't defend them because he pushed too many pawns and weakened his back ranks. Even if I agree that the minor pieces are potentially useless, the overabundance of pawn moves is still inherently detrimental.
That's what I thought as well. But remember, at that time Simp could move 1 square diagonally. But not in this one. Since he used the Pythagorean theorem, If the opponent only moves 1 or √2 length, he will only able to move 1 square straight, he can't move diagonally.
@@Unkanow Yeah, but "one less" even mathematically, is very vague, and depends on context. Because you could literally just talk about √(5-1) And √4 == √(5-1) You can compare distances in squared distances as well.. You don't have to square root. In that case, it would also be on 2^2+0^2 = 4, 2^2+1^2 = 5... and we are comparing those two numbers (This is actually a common way in programming to compare distances cheaper, because as long as you are just comparing, it is isn't necessary to square root it)
I was about to say that this challenge is easier version than your past video "Slow and Steady". Why? Because at that time you can only move 1 square per move at all time. While here you can only move lesser than your opponent did and 1 square if they moved only 1 square. But it is not. This is not easier than previous one. Because at that time, you used manhattan square (1 diagonal move = 1 square), while here you used Pythagorean theorem (1 diagonal move = √2 square). So if your opponent only move in √2 square or less, you can only move in 1 square move. Which is so inconvenient. So I agree this challenge is 'absolutely geniuely impossible'.
That's not the Manhattan Square distance by the way, that's what's called the inf-Norm distance, Manhattan Distance would be 2, 1 horizontal + 1 vertical
Dude made it way harder for himself by counting in literal distance and not in squares. Like, the King can move one square in any direction, not 1 square in the cardinal directions and the square root of 2 squares in the diagonals...
Spolier : Prolly the the most cowardish version of Simp we evere saw, he said the challenge was impossible (what a coward would say), didn't played bongcloud, didn't en passant, and ended his own challenge... Old Simp was Gold.
I've been delaying this comment but I want to express it, his way of comparing pythagorean distances isn't really all that complicated at all. You don't have to calculate square roots of anything, you can just compare the sums of squared distances in both dimensions "prior" to them being square rooted. Because sqrt(a)
I feel in this challenge you just walk your king to the front line. He will always be able to move 1 in any direction, making him the most reliable piece and it is unlikely that the opponent will find a checkmate that simp does not see.
1:56 YES you absolutely can it specifically mentions you can move one square if the opponent moves one square. I swear he's making mistakes like this just to farm engagement.
he came up with a new one this time, and said it was "genuinely truly impossible" so i'm predicting it will be a walk on the park, i'll be back with an update after i'm done watching Update: it was not a walk on the park
@@theendofthestart8179 ik, but i think it would be fair for these kind of challenges to count like that, since most times simp just cant do anything bc the opponent wont move what he's required to move.
I think diagonal moves should still count as one square. Why should it be a weird square root? distance in chess should be based on number of squares, not metric distance in my opinion
I feel like these challenges need to specify "number of squares (with Knight technically moving 3)" so that the math doesn't reach Asian levels. Would make the challenge a lot more straightforward (pun intended).
2:05 too afraid to push the king I see
Coward.
Absolute coward move, not using the king to protect the pawn!
he didnt en passant, now hes banned from france :(
Oui.
I was screaming “DO EN PASSANT” when the knight was next to the pawn
I wouldnt go to france
He’s banned from France?
Yippe go him
sure, but why would he go to Fr*nce anyway?
2:06 man missed the bongcloud, what a coward
Mega coward move
"Absolutely impossible" => win
"Absolutely genuinely impossible" => Mate in one while losing the challenge.
The challenges have been getting too complicated these days, so this one’s a refresher. Simple, yet interesting.
Nah frick this Pythagoras Theorem crap
Taking with a pawn instead of the queen on that last move would have been pretty powerful and would have kept things going.
I know, right?
Yeah. But It is still hard, it is not as powerful as you thought due to Simp is restricted by the rules.

2:03 How can you miss the obvious Ke6?
It is obvious to you because you are not afraid to move the kind so far into the front.
Because you are not a coward.
He wasn't allowed to move his knight due to the challenge.

it took me a while too

Pythagoras in heaven hearing sqrt(5)-1 = sqrt(4) :💀
Maybe he meant sqrt(5-1)? 🤔
@@pythagmathcat In heaven you don't hear the brackets so the notation is ambiguous, thereby actually making it hell for mathematicians
@@Vanhaomena Hmmm, interesting 🤔
It does seem like you could have won if the challenge had said "less than or equal"
Honestly in this challenge the king is your most powerful piece, should have definitely utilized him more.
Pretty sure simp was overthinking this one. He made like 10 questionable pawn moves instead of just developing naturally and waiting for a blunder.
He couldn't develop naturally. Not a lot of natural development moves that short. You can't move a Bishop 2, if a horse moves. He also can't move the horse if a horse moves, etc.

"knight moves √5"
"one less is √4"

Depends on how you define "one less" in this context. So your disappointment is self-inflicted
@@SioxerNikita
√4 = 2

nice work as always
finally it's over!!! The Absolutely Impossible streak is BROKEN!!!
100 rated chess, but you count to a number >5.
Sounds absolutely impossible.

Old simp avoided en passant at every reasonable opportunity.
Good guy Simp, values teaching his opponents how terri-awful their moves are over winning his challenges.

Flash jumped in his car for the last one
Everybody start specifying Chessboard distance (Chebyshev) in your challenges
Even if everyone does that, he probably would refuse it and still use the Pythagorean theorem instead
Haven't seen him upload. Kind of scared 😢
French move Friday is canceled :(
2:25
This is not relevant but he had the space to be able to blunder his queen. 3×√2 is definitely greater than 4.
Defend with king! Super bong cloud
1:55 you literally can though the rules say you can move the same distance if the opponent only moves one square.
Remember, Simp used the Pythagorean theorem here. So that Bishop's move was √2 square and thus Simp can't capture the knight.
The bishop moved sqrt(2)
Hardcore mode: instead of euclidean distance, use Manhattan distance (L1 instead of L2)
in other videos "the video ends here, because it would be smurfing"
in this video "who cares about the challenge, atleast its a win"
Early forced bongcloud, this is gonna be great
Feel like it would have been more fun and less impossible if it was just "Move less than or EQUAL to opponent's last move".
Did we already use this thumbnail or is this Deja Vu only
Yes, you can check "Slow and Steady". One of his old video
@@pythagmathcat thank you, guy who is worse than chess simp
@@TheLedan Lmao hahaha, you seems to know that I lose against him in IBTMV

He walks sqrt 2 diagonally
Nice bongcloud transposition lol
Playback speed × 0.75 let's go.
The knight moves 3 squares, so at 1:40 he could take with queen, bcs she would only move 2 squares at least by my definition
He’s using Euclidean distance
Would be nice to see Simp play these challenges with an actual plan.
2:54 foolish move. YOU DO EN PASSANT NO MATTER WHAT
At 2:10 you missed king d6 to defend the pawn
Last move was smurf move, reported.
you'd probably have an easier time if you could do the pythagorean theorem correctly
Video 182 of asking simp to play fps chess
1:56 YES you absolutely can it specifically mentions you can move one square if the opponent moves one square. I swear he's making mistakes like this just to farm engagement.
Don't forget that he used the Pythagorean theorem here. So the opponent was moved in √2 square. Thus Simp can only moves in 1 square
No, it’s sqrt(2) cuz we’re using Euclidean distance, not manhattan distance
i swear, even if i am asian myself, all these math problems in one chess video is making me dizzy
as excellent as always
i am asian juga
cowardice, will be met with shame. SHAME!
Bro couldn't even win properly
Could have played qd4 which shortens the way to checkmate
2:04 Ke6
he came up with a new one this time, and said it was "genuinely truly impossible" so i'm predicting it will be a walk on the park, i'll be back with an update after i'm done watching
Update: it was not a walk on the park
Coward move
I know it might be a matter of genetics but its time to put this Pythagorean bs aside and call a diagonal square one square away.
thats stupid stfu
That makes perfect sense. I think distance in chess is pretty much measured by king moves.
I would argue its 2 since its up then left for a diagonal, hence the knight moves 3 squares, and a free diagonal is twice the squares.
@@lord_sinister7026 everyone says the king can move 1 in any direction…
@@theendofthestart8179 ik, but i think it would be fair for these kind of challenges to count like that, since most times simp just cant do anything bc the opponent wont move what he's required to move.
