Ok now some analysis

Game 1 : 3 Check

First to get 3 checks (or checkmate) wins.

well, that was quick

Game 2 : Antichess

Give away all of your pieces (including king) to win.  Capturing is mandatory.

Also if you get stalemated, you win.

Game 4 : Horde

White need to checkmate black.  Black need to capture all the pawns

Chess.com doesn't like horde apparently.

So there's analysis here

Game 5 : King Of The Hill

Checkmate or get your king to the center

Ok, so it was 5-0

Game 6 : Crazyhouse

One of my viewers redeemed "Choose Opening"

I should've still gotten the sweep tho

ok
