Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
The rules are a card is drawn and each card represents a piece
[2=a pawn, 3= b pawn, 4=c,5=d,6=e,7=f,8=g.9=h,10=knight, J= bishop, Q=queen, K=king, A=rook].
The player has to make a move with the piece for which card pops up. A card is redrawn if there are no legal moves. If the king is under check, the player gets 5 draws to get a card which protects it from check and if it doesn't happen the player loses the game.
They played two games, one starting at 43:15 and another one starting at 49:00.
It was a fun stream but I think prefer dice chess over card.
What's next? Darts chess?
One obvious thing to point out here is that it was carlsen who proposed to play this format. He is known as self-proclaimed inventor of this Card Chess format and he mentioned last time in the tweet that he would love to play this format on stream!
