Levy: im kind of a villain
Also Levy: cuz kids might be watching i gotta speak in code
Well, neither Scar nor Darth Vader ever said fuck, so there is that.
Also also Levy: I beat kids.
what did he mean when he said "i'm kind of a villain?" i don't really follow chess and was confused by this statement.
Scar and Darth Vader were made in Levy's memory.@@myakhon
@@myakhoneither, he was joking because seeing one self as a villain can be fun.
Or he could be referencing that some snobby people don't like him because he caters to noobs which is "damaging" to chess. I disagree that levy's approach damages chess, growing the game and bringing in new talent can only be a good thing, but I've heard it said.
"I let my chess speak for myself"
Hans at the court : "d4"
Judge: resigns after playing d5
"Imagine if you fall in love and conceive a child due to your passion for chess due to this story, and then your child is born when it gets dismissed, what a beautiful story" I NEED some of what this man is smoking
Ayo gimme what he smokes man
Add it toevy's quote book
Bump
why did he hay that bruh
I think he tried this, but the misses said No
I will never think of Hans as anything other than a cheater. Even when he wins I will be wondering how he cheated.
If you decide to cheat, multiple times, you shouldn’t be allowed to compete. 16 is old enough to know what you’re doing is wrong.
If you get caught speeding multiple times you shouldn't be allowed to drive .
His ego speaks for itself.
12:40 "If you watch this and your a titled player (they didnt really watch my videos their jealous)" lmfao
Yeah so I cheated in mini golf.... so they won't let me play against Tiger Woods! 😭
9:26 - Queen’s Gambit Season 2
If Hans can beat Danya, he's really really good at chess
Oh Hans is defo good at chess - he's just... Not Carlsen kinda good.
14:00 Tiger woods cheated on his wife AND THEY STILL LET HIM PLAY GOLF!?!?!?!?
I dont think i would ever loose a game to someone rated 300 points lower than me, and then he wins against Daniel Naroditski of course…
The mind is not a robot, and sometimes has brilliant insights not usually attained. Then again, there's luck.
If Hans puts out a mugshot mug I’m totally buying it.
He's an admitted cheater. From here on out I wouldn't trust any win.
I never saw the X post. Great stuff Levy. You're the man!
that feeling when your daughter was born just a few days ago...
Magnus has to apolizize, hang his head in shame and pay this man For sullying his reputation. Magnus went crazy and should Be held accountable
I just want to know how much money did Hans get?? I think he deserve nothing
Banning some one only end one account
Honestly I still don't believe Han's cheated. Ya he did some premature things and so does magnus. But since Magnus is the goat, his fans trolled hans everywhere and which badly affect his chess form.
Levy: "I'm kind of a villain."
Also Levy: *Has never worn a vibrating buttplug to a tournment before*
Amateur
A delayed broadcast would fix that
as far as we know
Not for cheating purposes anyway...
Cringe
Personally, I'd love to see chess tournaments introduce a Faraday cage for players to play in. It adds that bad-ass "cage match" appeal.
And whoever loses has to fight the monkey naked.
Either that or vibrating seats
@@mandrake-34-you also watch aew?
then you'd just embed a chess engine under your skin
I agree but the butt plug idea is that it's a self-contained chess computer that can be communicated with via squeezes and vibrations, so it doesn't need to transmit signals anywhere outside of the confines of Niemann's butt. A faraday cage wouldn't help with that.
Hey levy I know prob had a lot of encounters during us open, but the one that ran down to you during djokovics match was me such a pleasure to meet you inperson hope you keep up the good work!!
Good to meet you too man! Hope I didn’t look super tired in the pic :)

The lawsuit speaks for itself
Hans in my opinion definitely did not cheat against Magnus. Magnus just lost fair and square and is being a baby abt it also the anal bead accusations are definitely false and was just a meme
@@saatvikranjan3848 Hans cheating was just a much more plausible conclusion, but I guess anything can happen.
@@saatvikranjan3848you obv dont understand how important of a loss this was to Magnus. You do realize before this haan was a nobody and magnus didnt lose a game in years as white. Against every top level opponent
@@saatvikranjan3848 There is a youtube video that showed something like that was possible. The guy modified a butt plug to vibrate according to a code and it worked.
bad take@@saatvikranjan3848
Unless there is proof he shouldn't be condemned. That's the worse part of the allegation, now all people will wonder.
It should always be innocent until proven guilty, Magnus simply just couldnt accept that he lost to him.
"its time to let my chess speak for itself"
well he has got balls, ill give him that.

Or maybe "Hans free"@@wyattseals3251
@@wyattseals3251that’s genius
@@wyattseals3251 I would like to do business with you sir
I think no one is doubting that hans is a good player, it's just... is he THAT good? He would be an absolute absolute fool to cheat now, the spotlight is on him more than it ever has been. Even he must know that cheating now would be the most foolish thing anybody could ever do
Still he continues to get away with it
good player, but that's all
It would probably be stupider not to cheat now, since he loses all his credibility if he just loses all his games at such a high elo
Since it's uncatchable if done right, it's entirely possible he's cheated every game he's ever played and actually can't play at all.
The problem, as Levy states, is that we can never know. All the evidence for his cheating is not concrete, however dubious the data looks. And a prior record doesn't confirm or deny anything. Meanwhile Hans himself has no way of confirming his innocence despite his recent rise other than "chess speaks for itself", only, if he was cheating, the chess would always be in his favour so the chess proves nothing anyway. I think the game he played was suspicious, I think if he is honest he got quite lucky by studying the exact line he played very recently before the game, and I think that if he did cheat, he probably stopped as soon as he got under pressure. But, as I say, we can never know for sure unless we get a confession, because there's no way to prove his innocence here
Hans statement sounds like a threat than a statement
This is essentially - Players agreed to a Draw.
Levy always tries to teach important things with humor . Love you levy
im vibrating with excitement with this new gotham video
I’m on the edge of my seat!
hahahaha wins the internet! I shivered when I read this!
notified, i know what's the best thing to do
i think if anything more tournaments might want hans, magnus, and hikaru cuz it drums up a lot of interest in their tourney
Yknow what I wanna see, a chess tournament where cheating is allowed, only if you don't get caught, if you get caught, you're just disqualified with no permanent effects, and at the end of the tournament, the top 4 who didn't get caught reveals what they did to cheat. People can so creative, I wanna see how they express that creativity.
This is a fantastic idea. You sir deserve more upvotes
See the way I'd do it is I'd plant cheating items on my opponents before my games and they'd all get disqualified before I even play them. Meanwhile I myself wouldn't even cheat. I'd then prepare a full presentation on how I planted different cheating methods on every single opponent I faced, resulting in all of their disqualifications. They'd give me the win for sure
@@elmacho1336 the cool thing about this is you'd need zero chess skills but impeccable pick pocketing skills
This is stupid, it wouldn't be a chess tournament. Chess is just a collateral thing in your story. They might as well play any other game in the world. And what's the point of a cheating contest?
@@SergheyKatastrofenko to see who the best cheater is. Duh
Levy being honest about the fact he uses this about content just makes me happy. Not all content creators are brave enough. Also love your humor levy, keep it up!
5:15 *engagement gambit* perfectly presented by Alexandra Botez just as the Botez Gambit.
Funnily enough Levy played the engagement gambit on the latest Hans tweet LOL
Seriously levy? You told me your phone ain't working, but you are talking to random people?? What's wrong with you????? I believed you.
Levy, I see you more as an antihero than a villain. Maybe not the hero chess deserves, but you're the one it needed.
Nah hes not the hero chess deserves, but its the one its got
@@colmlooney5843 "Not the hero we deserve but the one it's got" sounds very antihero to me.
As an attorney, watching this video gave me an idea of what it’s like to be Levy playing GTE.
lol, accurate
I cringe every time Levy gets into legalities
Womp womp

I know the story, I know it's a click f*n bait and I will click it.
Bro. You ain’t no villain. You are litterally THE hero of chess. Doing more to make the game big than Carlsen himself
My favourite part of the video was when Gretel showed up, grabbed Hans by the ear and dragged him home and grounded him (again).
Fucking love you levy, every time you upload I know I'm in for some good entertainment. Thank you for all the fun videos
This needs to be pinned!
Can relate! Ya bet it's a good meal if Levy's there to accompany it. 🌟
Watching gotham vids while eating is my fav gender
Pin of truth!!!
kids these days cant comment without cursing
I cheated in Wii Tennis, are they not gonna let me in the US Open?
Dude that made me laugh so much
Levy: 4 part video
Also Levy: NO TIME POLE'S HAHAHAHAHA
North pole
the funniest thhing about this whole lawsuit thing is how Hikaru just caught strays lol he had no business being added as a defendant there lol
cringaru cringamura cringing
3:20 Levy is not the villain he’s the narrator.
Hans got me into chess. Went from 400 to 1500 then down to 1300.
Sounds like a cheater
Hell yeah me too!! Went from 500 to 2350 in a matter of days! I can't log back into my account or create a new one anymore though? Hope this glitch is fixed.
@@Apollolikesbirds it took me a year not days lmao
@@level8473 nah I went on a good win streak and was able to focus better when I got to 1500.

I'm not sure whether I like Hans as a person (or not!) but I sure like the stories Levy has in store to tell us about!
How do you not like him as a person? You've never talked to him before.
@@dannacht6827 they literally said they were not sure, so they do not know.

Lads one look at his name will tell you everything you need to know 😂
If you cheat at an official event where you were either paid or you earned rating points then that should just simply be banned altogether. Hans most likely cheated a lot more than what he admitted to, it obviously wasn't just when he was 12.
Appreciate this video levy, and I am missing guess the elo every day
mine's still 1300
Today's stare was exquisite, I feel deeply philisophical after having my soul gazed into.
Im fine with Hans coming back as long as an eye is kept on him. I think it totally fair that a known cheater is watched a little more closely then your average player.
but it is undoubtedly not fair for your win to be overlooked by a relatively outrageous claim that you cheated it, and for you to get banned from the majority of events, along with a global-scale bad rep from millions of memes spreading misinfo, just because you're pretty average in other games
@@ghetoknight7801it’s not fair? He cheated over and over on chesscom after being caught and saying he wouldn’t do it again. He needs to take responsibility that he brought it all on himself. Also analysis of his games is obviously questionable
@@ghetoknight7801 Hans already proved himself to lack integrity, he only has himself to blame.
levy is just simply the best with a mix of comedy and facts
clash royale!

Hay day!
no clash royale yes@@B1shesh
Clash of clans!
Levy: "He was a 2520 rated Grandmaster at the age of 16, 17. That's good but it ain't great."
Could we lower the bar just a bit please? Not talking about Niemann here i generally think anyone being a GM with a 2520 rating at the age of 16/17(!) earned the attribute "great", if not more xD
Chess needs more villains. Hopefully Neimann serves as a great villain to root against in his career.
True that, I'm rooting for this guy low-key
Bro your story telling is immaculate! Top notch grade A stuff. No bullshit. Good stuff.
I forgot about the scandal ngl 💀 world cup took all my attention
Hans was a cheater,, and will always be remembered as one!
To get in a chess beef with Magnus is like trying to outrap Em,, some battles should just be left alone
It would be great if Hans could laugh/joke about the whole situation too. Dude would possbly get respect if he joked about beads, or low key wore beads necklace. 😂
Why did Hans sue Hikaru? I didn’t think he was involved in this situation at all
@@twopregnantwomenfightingis2317to silence him
@@twopregnantwomenfightingis2317
Its because of something came up in one of Hikaru’s streams. I think he agreed or he thought it was likely Hans cheated.
Obviously shouldn’t be included anyways but its just how it went
@@ThyN00bly oh ok, thank you
I would say that if someone is proven to be cheating they get suspended from tournament play for at least 1 year up to 5 years depending on their age and how egregious it was. After that if they are caught again then a permanent should be instituted. Everybody gets 1 time with a punishment based on age and level of offense. After that, it’s goodbye forever.
Nah. Once you cheat, permanent ban. It's not some mistake. It's a calculated move to gain an unfair advantage.
I don't like the idea of setting a second chance as a standard because some will interpret it as "you're allowed to cheat and get away with at least once, so use it wisely".
If they can prove it, sure, I agree. That isn't really the case with Hans though
Mostly agree. Though I would say, an adult, over 18 year, if caught definitively cheating = lifetime ban on fist offense. IMHO. And if under 18 get a 2nd chance, but if below 15 maybe not let it count because it's a child.
@@CrazyGaming-ig6qq I think that's fair actually
My new theory is that they did find "canal beads" but they were just to make classical chess less boring to play
Im 100% sure that hans knows that the chess speaks for itself quote is a meme
In SC2 they banned Life forever for one matchmaking game. And Life wasn't a no name. He was the most popular player at the time. And it was a good signal to each and everyone player at the field.
So, you cheated once - you're banned for life. This is how it should work.
I know this is not a popular opinion, but I don't think Magnus or anyone can simply imply cheating without proof or solid evidence. The truth is Magnus made a bitch move, imagine if it was you instead of Hans, and you're hit with all of this. This is not a joke, you either accuse someone of cheating and be prepared for being right or wrong with all the consequences, or just shut up and move on. These accusations shouldn't be taken lightly
Haha Hans video is just too much! But that's OK he is who-he-is and in a very difficult situation, after all. I wish him well and I hope that life finds him well.
I thought Levy was super energetic and very passionate about Han's play at around 16, then realized I was on 1.25x speed lol
Let's hope he doesn't cheat again. Good luck to him.
Glad they finally pulled the plug on this whole scandal
The storyline is going to be amazing with hans Nieman back
I literally got into chess and had a child during this exact time frame hahaha 😂 Her name is Willow and she is 15 weeks old. #babyGM
Truly one of the chess moments of all time
8:55 the 4th article on the right side 💀
levy thinking he's "kinda a villain" was the most entertaining part of the video lol
Smart move from Hans. He's going to get exactly what he wants: a horde of fans. 😂😂😂
absolutesly! Since cheating is not a crime and the most severe punishment is "ban", Hans has nothing to lose! Even with complete online and onboard ban/ nobody wants to play with him/, he has a story to tell. A book to write. It's a fascinating plot - i can see Netflix contracts and a trol community eager for more gastrointestinal content!
Nothing says a court battle win better than a heavily lawyered up video, where he vaguely states it’s “settled”.
After having received nothing. The mutual agreement was "you will loose the case, there's no point in going forward".
Especially when he actually lost in court and everyone involved just allowed him back onto their platform to avoid having to pay legal fees for a frivolous suit.
Meanwhile Magnus reclaimed the Goat Title from Himself at the World Cup..
Does he need to compete for another World Championship ?
Levi really beat a kid who is in love with this computer 🤖😊
Comparison to Carlsen lose of 50 pt is not correct, because for Magnus it is so much easier to lose them. History says, he sometimes loses to players 200+ points lower (for average GM it would be a normal rating), and at those cases he is subtracted more points, than an player like Niemann would lose. Even draws with those average rated GMs will bring to a negative result.
E.g. if 2850 loses to a 2650 player, result in rating would be -7.6, in case of a draw -2.6. For a 2700 rated player lose/draw would result into -5.7/-0.7 rating loss only.
I just started dying when the video of Hans ended , Levi just smiles “this is incredible stuff”!!! We all were like wtf Hans on lol
I pose this as an actual question and obviously as a noob to chess. Are you aloud to "trash talk" in over an board chess tournaments? E.g. could Magnus play Hans again and say something like "Hows yer butt feeling today? Is it...........twitchin?" What would be the consequence if he did say something like that?
Its hard to believe that this guy will be the best chess player in the world one day, but nothing is impossible.
This guy's story is like a movie 😂 A cheater redeemed, became the best world chess player.
I really hope he does. It'll make a great Story. Imagine if he becomes WCC. It'll be legendary
@@joykenn9772we're cheering on cheaters now? Great.
Best chess player in terms of ability to work a mic like a WWE villain, maybe.
yah,its hard to believe.
Levy is a villain like Blofeld's white cat is a villain.
Thank you levy for moving the pawns!
All top players cheat because they make the same moves that Stockfish would make. The guy just got caught. It's similar to MMA, where everyone's using steroids, but not everyone gets caught.
Today's stare was direct and confrontational 6/10.
When a young player makes very odd moves in a chess tournament and crushes Magnus Carlsen with them it's not an accident or dumb luck. Either the guy is the first 3000+ player, or he's not. He's not.
I love your vids they make me better at chess
Yeah all grand máster loses 50 points, but we are talking about the guy that got from 2500 to 2700 in récord time, thats What make this suspicious, also other very "interesting" stuff
And Magnus? He threw a fit like a toddler, said he knew Hans cheated but offered zero evidence, and ruined a player's reputation. When this kicked off, Levy was the only person who suggested this could be problematic behavior if no explanation was offered. Its a shame the case got thrown out and we never got any worthwhile statements from him. Good luck to the next underdog that beats him; it might cost you your career.
You always cover this subject with integrity thanks
What a speech...reminds me of Wilders. speech after he lost to Fury in their second fight...smth. about a phoenix bla bla bla...and what does he say about the case being resolved. The judge dismissed Niemanns lawsuit entirely...Being delusional seems to be a trend nowadays.
Hans Niemann: My lawsuit with Magnus has been resolved in a mutually acceptable manner... In which I received 0.00 dollars or even acknowledgment or even a virtual handshake.
Levy, you've kept me in chess through the many times I wanted to quit because I'm such 500 elo garbage.
Lmao same here, I’m garbage
Why do you want to be good at it though what do you even get out of it chess is a garbage game Ngl
