  • In this video, two chess variants combine into one! I played my first games of "Duck Spell Chess" and pushed my brain to its capacity. While this is not an official variant on chess.com, it is possible to send custom challenges to combine variants. This can be played on the variants server: www.chess.com/variants?ref_id...

      That logic would only work if spell chess had spell mate. Since it's "freeze mate", it's clear that the term has to do with the method of mate, not the name of the game. In normal chess, mate is delivered through check, hence "checkmate".

  • @Ichthyodactyl
    @Ichthyodactyl 8 місяців тому +70

    Something kind of funny about this is that Spell Chess kind of devalues the Knight since it can't benefit from the Jump spell but Duck Chess kind of overvalues the Knight since it can't be blocked by the Duck (except on the space where it would land). I'm not sure how valuable the Knight is in this mode but it's interesting to think about.

    This is all way too complex for me, but at 6:26 I was curious about Bb5. You're threatening to either jump over the pawn with your bishop to take the king, or to jump over your own pawn with your rook to take the queen. So basically you're winning their queen. Maybe there's a way to stop it, I wouldn't be surprised with all the different spells.

  • @lucasmatsuoca
    @lucasmatsuoca 8 місяців тому

    14:49, Qh4 and Duck g3 I think it was winning, because you guarantee nothing will be blocking the diagonal on the king on your turn, and you are simultaneosly threatning to take the queen on D4. Forking both King and queen by jump spells and White is forced to move the king and lose the queen.
    What you can learn by that is that the duck is a interesting thing to use in combination with the jump spell If the opponent jump spells is in cool down, by forking 2 jumpable pieces and blocking one of them toa void they blocking with the duck on your turn, although this only works if there is only 1 blockable square, in this case it was G3. I think Eric accidentally made a smart knight sacrifice trap, but didn't manage to correctly follow up. This is an incredibly specific tatical theme.

  • @metafishling
    @metafishling 8 місяців тому

    At 17min, I think Queen takes Knight on g2, duck f1 would have been strong. It'd force white to freeze to stop the queen, but then Eric has his queen in close and move it point blank and freeze the king from escaping, while opponent has no way to use the duck or jump to take Eric's queen. I think forcing your opponent to freeze when you don't have to counter freeze is really strong. Unfortunately, Eric quickly discarded any idea of the knight capture early on.

    Would duck chess be better if black placed the duck before white’s first turn?

    Now just add Pocket Knight to this, then you basically have a game where... You can place a single Knight anywhere on board on an empty square once per game, you can jump or freeze, once every few turns, and are forced to move the Duck every turn, all while playing your standard game of Chess!

    Would have been OP if you could freeze the duck for a move.

    8:23 what about Nh3 "sacrificing" the knight?
    If Qxh1 then Qxh1 by jumping over the king
    If Qxh3 then Rxh3 by jumping over the pawn

      Nevermind, the duck prevents the Queen from recapturing
