===Drawback Chess===
The Drawback Chess series of Chess Simp consists of his gameplay of Drawback Chess (https://www.drawbackchess.com/), which requires players to capture the king rather than checkmate and has a drawback that restricts their gameplay of each player in a game.
On February 13, 2024, the website developer of Drawback Chess sent an email about that website to Chess Simp and claimed that it was inspired by a concept of Chess Simp's gameplay. This is why the series has started.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4B8iZtjmGU
