Most RNG challenges don't have that "free move if impossible" exception. So if you have to move a certain piece, or move to a certain square/file/rank, the video is going to end if that's impossible. And even if they add in "redo random until it is possible", it's so restrictive that it's basically impossible to deliver mate. I'd like to see more of these "restriction unless impossible" videos, because there's no way for the opponent to end the video apart from actually checkmating Simp. His second-most viewed video is of this type, "have to move pawns if possible," and it was great.
probably because it's conceptually very similar to random disasters in strategy games. you're mostly playing normally, except sometimes you get random setbacks you have to deal with.
“Hmm… if my pawn takes this then my knight would be protecting it!” 100 elo: *takes* Normal elo: *takes knight with pawn* “Dang it! I didn’t see that.”
@LuneWatcher no he simplified it. I had also suggested if he got a free move, he had to generate an extra square each turn. Idea there being to give him a very hard/forced midgame before it becomes a bit easier in the endgame. I couldn't have predicted how many bad squares he wound up getting anyway.
@@Enlis Yeah, he got quite unlucky it seemed anyway. Plus I think it would've been quite hard to keep track of and generate that many additional squares within the time limit of the game anyway, so I think it had to be this way.
I didn't even realize the video was so long, it was so entertaining the time just flew by. I wonder if the video length will have a noticeable effect on anything.
well if a video is longer than 8 minutes advertisement is allowed to appear in the middle of the video I think, 8 mins is like a mark that all youtubers try to extend their video to reach
This is such a cool idea, on the one hand you want to limit your own activity as much as possible to get a bunch of free moves, but you also need activity to go for a quick checkmate. The longer the game, with fewer pieces on the board, the more painful the unlucky draws become
3:51 e2 is definitely not the only bad square, d3 would have been WAY worse!! Also funny how the useless a2 into a1 (and black's Ba6+) towards the end saved you, as the next two squares were e8 and d7! Had you got them earlier, you would've played Qxf7+ and been forced into Qxd7+ next move. Another funny part of it is had you played Qa2 instead of Ra2, and then Qxf7+ next move, you'd be forced to give mate on e8!
That guy comes to TH-cam today and sees this video. He remembers the game from the Black perspective. He realizes why your moves were sometimes perfect and sometimes nonsense, and he burns his computer to punish it for getting paired with you for a game.
I eally like that the restriction had a failsafe built-in. if the restriction had just been "you must reach a random square each turn" then simp would have interpreted that as a challenge failure as soon as an impossible square came up. the "If unreachable: free move" clause lets the game continue.
Simp definetely sold his channel and we are dealing with a different person... The AI is saying a completely different script and the video timers are much longer too.
@@Medsas I’m not sure, but I thought some (many?) CPUs included them internally? I guess they aren’t *that* useful because the computer can collect entropy over time from user input and the like, but it does at least provide a consistent source of it. Not sure if it is cheap enough for them to include on most PC CPUs though.
of course true randomness is impossible, afaik nothing in the entire universe is random. we can simulate randomness though by seeding number pulls off things we have no reasonable way of being able to predict
I feel like you once this something like this before Btw I definitely appreciate your efforts to edit this video. In fact this is one of the best videos I ever watched
This was a perfect challenge, I love that you went thru the whole game and didn’t just skip it, I know it must have been a lot of work so thanks for your hard work!!! Was an awesome vid
You can play on a real board with two D8 dices. Pick two dices with different colors. One color for the ranks, another for the files. For the ranks: 1 = a, 2 = b, 3 = c and so on... Files are the numbers already. Roll the dices before your move and you have the same result of the video!
That is probably the best balanced random choice challenge I have seen on the channel. Absolutely destructive rolls are unlikely enough they don't make it frustrating but it is still enough challenge to make it fun to watch.
He has nothing he could move to d6 with? The queen is blocked by the knight, and the pawn can only take the knight of f6, there is nothing for it to take on d6?
@@IIBLANKIIYes, if you were listening, he said that if the square is unreachable, then he gets a free move and is able to play any piece to any square. I need not explain further.
@@solifa1 if you used common sense and didn't have an ego that requires you to talk down to others as if they are children in order to feel some semblance of superiority over others, you would have read the original comment and realized that during the portion of the video they are referencing, they were complaining that they didn't play the stated move d6, rather than the free move he chose to play, f6. With this knowledge, if you read my comment addressing that it wasn't possible to move to d6 and used common sense within the context behind my comment, you would realize I'm explaining that f6 was a free move because of the game's rules/handicap rather than a mistake made on the content creator's part. In summary: Read the original poster's comment, then mine next time to gain context. After you do that, consider being more humble so that in the future you are not met with the same snide tone you give to others. I need not explain further.
Now THIS is the random chess! Fisher's, probably, is more fair, but this is the entertainment! also, you can make it harder, by addding 1 reroll after unreachable move, and only then free move, if it is unreachable too. I'd play this format against someone, really funny and random stuff.
Chess is one of the most boring games in the world, but this was actually bearable. But why was that last move a check mate? Couldn't the king just have taken the queen when you stood her so close?
Well, you just have to play a challenge where you reach h8 as white (a1 as black) with all piece types at least once during a single game. Unless you're a coward.
4:04 Imagine d3 being forced to blunder your queen to prove that you are not a coward, then the opponent's queen captures your queen, then e2 blundering your knight, opponent's queen takes that as well, then g2 which is close to checkmate.
reminds me of that chess engine video where they made various 'diluted' versions of stockfish by forcing it to make random moves, with the forced randomness being more common the more 'dilute' it was lol.
I’m confused. The syntax on the files and ranks variables works like that at the very beginning?! I’ve always had to do, just as an example: files = ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’ as if each item is independent?
1:38 Meanwhile in drawback chess, if a reachable square is illegal (puts your king in check), you still must play that move. Happened to me when my drawback was "if you can move your King, you must"

You accidentally made a perfect simulation of 100 elo players' thought processes
That's probably why Simp's opponent didn't resign
You mean randomly
"Fuck, I had mate in 6 but somehow I feel like I have to play rook back to a1"
Video was hilarious because they seem so tilted that they're forced to play like a 100 elo player
Felt like they both had the same drawback
This challenge felt oddly fair, in a way that most RNG challenges don't.

This challenge had a lot of suspense too. Sometimes there were only 1-4 ways not to roll a free move, but still very possible.
probably because it's conceptually very similar to random disasters in strategy games. you're mostly playing normally, except sometimes you get random setbacks you have to deal with.
This is what truly goes in a brain of 100 elo player
More proof of how knowledge of computer programming can improve our lives
“Hmm… if my pawn takes this then my knight would be protecting it!”
100 elo: *takes*
Normal elo: *takes knight with pawn*
“Dang it! I didn’t see that.”
This challenge should be the new standard for the channel.
It is infinitely re-playable.
Nah, he's all about being new. This would get boring fast.
welcome to the world of randomized games :)
"No. No."
god, you could hear the horror despite the monotone TTS voice
Nice restriction
I think Drawback Chess has this exact restriction as one of the possible Drawbacks, so that might be where the Discord user got the idea from.
@@lefterislegend3502 nope, independently came up with the idea. Simp changed it a bit from what was actually suggested

h8ers gonna h8, unless it's unreachable
Bravo
I see what you did there 👌
I didn't read it as hate lol
New challenge idea: If you can reach h8, then you must.
Surely it's not hard to spell hate?
"I'm buying a new cpu tomorrow"

Yeah I thought about that as well and was happy that the person who came up with it prevented an early end to this challenge
a true 100 elo game
The absolute despair the tts voice is capable of, is so funny
This was actually more entertaining than most of the other challenges, hope redo this one!
Real Underdog Suggestion. Never thought it could be this good!
This was a really satisfying challenge to watch. The restriction added just the right kind of tension. Great video.
This comment pleases the algorithm.
All hail its benevolent wisdom!
This is a drawback on Drawback Chess! A silly one that won me a game once, but it is technically possible without coding shenanigans
I mean, the guys on Drawback Chess were the ones who did the coding instead of Simp
Does this drawback consider escaping check a forced move? Or are you doomed if your King is in check and the square is reachable by your other pieces?
@@khai96x Drawback Chess allows taking the kind, so you probably a very fucked
@@khai96x i dont think checks are considered checks in drawback chess, so youre probably screwed in that situation

Simp definetely sold his channel and we are dealing with a different person... The AI is saying a completely different script and the video timers are much longer too.
Even the thumbs changed lol
good theory, but they're just experimenting with monetizing the video I guess
Yeah it's very different, now that you mention it
@@san-man I would rather believe in my conspiracy theory, even tho you are probably right
I love that they fell for the exact same Q/N pawn fork twice just a few moves apart
I love the randomizer videos!
"There's physically no way for a human to make anything random" Just throw 2 eight-sided dice (d8) and set one to a letter and another to the number
ironically, its impossible for your computer to be random too, its using a pseudorandom aka fake random function 😂
Hardware random number generators are possible

4:02 No you didn't get the only bad one. d3 would have truly been worse.
07:15 - Sorry Simp, I can't do that. I want my cat to change colour every day. You'll get the like though.
The less pieces you have, the bigger the chance for free moves. However, the less pieces the opponent has, the bigger the number of available squares.
that has to be the longest challenge video so far
This is probably my favourite challenge
8:00 You absolute monster
Imagine a whole chess variant where _both_ players are under this restriction, with randomly generated target squares they have to go to if possible.
I feel like you once this something like this before
Btw I definitely appreciate your efforts to edit this video. In fact this is one of the best videos I ever watched
The best challenges are the ones that don't have such stringent automatic failure conditions
Simp loves gambler fallacy
Incredible challenge. Thanks enlis.
This was a perfect challenge, I love that you went thru the whole game and didn’t just skip it, I know it must have been a lot of work so thanks for your hard work!!! Was an awesome vid
That was a great challenge
Congratulation for making video over 5 minute for once
I've liked this channel for a long time, but this is the first video that I wanted to rewatch
Ah, finally, my thought process explained

Best video of the year, what a fun challenge + game
(Me trying to think like simp)
"so obviously, the strategy is to try and keep the position closed, so that we can get more free moves-"
Simp: e4.
Chess is one of the most boring games in the world, but this was actually bearable. But why was that last move a check mate? Couldn't the king just have taken the queen when you stood her so close?
I genuinely thought the prompt was that a new square appeared on the board and the board kept getting bigger and bigger.
Well, you just have to play a challenge where you reach h8 as white (a1 as black) with all piece types at least once during a single game. Unless you're a coward.

Anyone else notice the genshin impact bossfight music at the start while setting up the randomizer??
Best challenge of 2024. I was laughing the whole time.
This was exceptionally fun and satisfying.
3:05 Isn't fxe5 blundering a pawn to Nxe5, exploiting the pinned d4 pawn?
One of Simp's best videos to date. Kudos to whoever suggested that challenge!
I think the opponent's brain melted from all the random moves you made and the few suddenly good moves in between them.
The longer a challenge lasts, the more exciting.
Will Simp emerge victorious, or start singing "In the End"?
Should have been blunder instead of free move
I never thought I'd see a Chess Simp video that's over 8 minutes long. Truly blessed.
You programmed the most useless chess engine of all time, but a chess engine nonetheless
The No's are the funniest thing I've seen on your channel lolololol
This definitely deserves to be replayed, it was really good
Really cool challenge! Best one in a long time and there were a few good ones recently :)
I like that there’s people who actually play online chess at this level
I did this alongside and was forced to blunder my Queen on move 5 (as black, moving queen to F2)
I was checkmated on move 20, a mere 19 points down
This was very interesting actually
You've heard of the paid actor, now meet the paid CPU
