Female titles are a joke - diminutive to the effort and talent of normal IMs and GMs, and patronizing to women in the "oh, don't worry, good enough, you're never gonna be as good as men anyway" way.
This came in my recommendations exactly 2 years after on the 4th of July. Didn't even realize that this video was made on 4th July until an hour into the video when I heard them say it. Great world we live in
1:13:52 Levy: "Oh my God, Qiyu, you had mate with the pawn!" ... Actually, pawns still can't move forward two squares, so no, she played the absolute best move. :D
2:52 "I mean Levi, I think you find regular chess pretty difficult too, so..." listen, I'm not saying chess players are god tier roasters, but I'm also not saying they aren't. they make jaw dropping remarks so casually, its so funny to me
4 player vids are both great content AND a great way to meet other amazing chess players/content creators 🥰 Also, I know they really criticized the game where they were al cramped into an 8x8 board, but I think it’s actually suuuuper cool solely because you can actually play that irl with just a regular chess set! (You just use the queens as a king for 2 of the players)
I find it hilarious how they are on about 1900 ratings in 4-player, even jokingly. I'm only 1300 normal and 1500 chess960, yet have a 2400 rating in 4 player.
I'm about 1400 normal chess and 2000 4-player. These guys here just aren't seeing the big picture, they're too focused on tactics. All you have to do in 4-player is keep your king safe and try to avoid any conflict for as long as possible, and push pawns only when its safe to do so. Then there's the "pretend its a teams game" strategy which kinda ruins the free-for-all imo, but it is effective. Anyone over about 2000 will most likely use it.
1:50:08 is Qiyu eating pringles with chopsticks? And then right after, Hikaru is also eating chips with chopsticks? Ok. Just keep watching guys, they address it.
Extra tip: turn chips packet into a bowl by rolling the bottom of it up into itself. Makes it easier to dive in without touching the walls. Wondermark also has a classic comic strip on this titled "#601; The Discovery that Changed the World" (cheetos with chopsticks). I really don't understand how others can tolerate greasy computer peripherals. So gross.
At 15:56 couldn't Qiyu just move her queen 3 spots to the left, followed by Levy capturing Alex's king pawn? Then his only move is to recapture with the bishop, which Qiyu again recaptures for checkmate. I don't see how Hikaru could prevent any of that.
he is getting checkmated by nemsko in the back rank with a laserbeam (queen+bishop) so he blocked Levy’s queen with his bishop while also protecting himself from the backrank mate as his rook is now covering that square
7:22 isn't there a force mate? Yellow queen takes pawn in front of king and then red kind defends yellow queen. Blue takes yellow queen with Bishop. And then red takes Bishop with queen defended with the red Bishop for mate??
5:55 isn’t there checkmate if Yellow queen takes the blue pawn in front of the king and then on Hikaru’s move he moves the Red queen in-line with the Yellow one, then Levy is forced to take Yellow queen with his blue bishop and once it’s Hikaru’s move he just takes the blue bishop with Red queen and his Red bishop is protecting the queen
Anyone : I just blundered my queen 😭😭 Random person : Dw, could have been worse Anyone : What dyu mean ?? What's worse than blundering a queen ? Random person : Well blundering TWO QUEENS in 4 players chess, ofc 🤷♀️ Anyone : ...
TheVigilMark no because Levy plays before Qiyu so she wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. Hikaru even realized that it would've been mate after he played the move.
I think you are right, yet I’m doubting if it was possible for her to move F3 to E2.. Because it looks like they could move pawns diagonally in this game but I’m not sure. I saw hikaru clicking on his pawn and it gave him the option to move it diagonally.. I have no clue man
2:24:24 if she did not push that pawn, could gree capture the pawn with check, red queen captures yellow rook, blue does something, yellow has to move the king or take the knightwith pawn, green somthing, red exchanges queen with yellow, yellow looks lost... although my calculation may be completely wrong, and Qiyu pushed the pawn anyway
I love these 4 player vids!
And me

Me tooo!!! 😁
@SEAN LEI (Student) Nobody cares.
@SEAN LEI (Student) i dont have 4 player chess
Hikaru walks away , comes back and immediately ruins their plan and grins. "Im 5 steps ahead of you"
Time?
10:47
Hikaru goes "There's not another GM here." Then he's like whoops. I know WGM is a different title, still lmao
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
yeah I don't know why he felt bad since WGMs can literally become GM
WGM requirements are lower than male IM so yeah.

As of this move, green is completely lost.
And it was in this formation of pieces on the board that green surrendered

Hikaru with 3 queens is how we all feel like when playing against better players with just their starting queen
What?
It's more accurate to say playing against Hikaru with 1 queen is like playing against average players with 3 queens
???? Make no sense
Lol what
The fact that Levy is so good in 4PlayerChess shows how much creative he is!
1900 is very weak
@@dasweq3806 In general 1900 is not weak lol. Is it weak in 4 player chess?
@@aronianspigonian8589 4pc 1900 is kind of equivalent to 1500 in normal chess. So definitely low for an IM, and now i think he is a GM.
@@dasweq3806 Ohhh I see then you’re right haha
@@dasweq3806 I'm sure your like 200 hundred trying to cast shade on him lol good job bud
Levy when getting compliments: Is this a trap?! 1:39:41
alexandra looks a bit different
I think it's because she has different lighting or something. Maybe the camera's lower than usual?
The sex change is finally taking effect
ikr is it because of coaching gorgc? cause hikaru has a kinda similar look as well
She's been growing her beard out for a while now
💀💀💀
i love hikaru’s facial expressions after levy figures out his next moves hahaha.
37:46 The improved Botez gambit.
double botez
i mean, she still got 2nd place in front of hikaru...
1:15:25
Levy starts throwing the most comedic tantrum, just absolutely hilarious. 🤣
4 players chess in a nutshell :
- Wait what ?
- What rook ?
- What ?
- Whaat ?

Qiyu roasting Leewhy even when he's on her team 🤣
When you forget what you are watching in the other tab, and hear...
"Now Qiyu mates"
"No, I don't have a mate"
"Can we mate this King?"
2:20:50 hikaru's rook covering basically the entire rank with those arrows
I watched the whole 3 hour video damn. This has to be my own personal record of watching a video this long without leaving or getting bored.
I need new 4 player chess videos. It makes me happy to see you guys have fun!
"I can do something annoying too." - WGM Qiyu Zhou
Levy getting violated so bad, he started tearing up
refreshing to see a classy group of friends having fun

Qiyu pulls off the double Botez Gambit. 37:45
1:04 LOOOOOL What was that Hikaru? hahahaha
That one guy on the first video who asked for three hours of this got his wish fulfilled
watching Hikaru torment Levy around the 1 hr mark is one of the best things I've ever watched hahaha
10:44 hikaru:who is gm though? Ohh.. :))))
Mans was like oh shit whoops
Lmao😂😂😂😂😂It was at that point that Hikaru knew: He damn f*cked up
2:52 "I mean Levi, I think you find regular chess pretty difficult too, so..."

Sub battles is the best so far though imo
love both honestly hahaha

This is so fun watching them. I could never get to that point in their position but I'm happy that I saw that queen checkmate on h 14.

1:13:48 where's the mate?
Edit: I think Levy forgot pawns cannot move 2 squares
I love when Levy speaks russian, its just a perfect bonus to the video
Yeah everytime lol he's so funny 😂
This is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time!
2:19:55 Does Qiyu like Levy? She always seems to laugh at his jokes.
HAHAHA that's what I like to think too 😉 they're cute when they tease and roast each other lil
Science proves that girls talk to you and lough at your jokes more
Girls around levy 24/7:
I thought the same
Qi yu: eating chips with chopsticks
Hikaru: saw Qi yu. Lemme get mine.
2:15:24 I could easily do 60 blindfolded games simultaneously. They didn't say I'd have to win any...

56:38 -> Rxl6 -> Claim win? Would that work? Instead of the defensive strategy? :)
Hikaru really is the type of guy to blunder his queen and then end up winning with 3 queens
2:50 what was that?? 😂
2 Asian-related chess player eating chips with chop sticks .... that's the peak of Asianity here ..... :3
"Budget Agadmator". That killed me lol

Poor mans agadmator
The awkward silence after every time nemesko says something kills me🤣
Wait, when?
7:55 levy's last words
1:13:45 there’s no mate, can someone help me find the mate.
At 15:56 couldn't Qiyu just move her queen 3 spots to the left, followed by Levy capturing Alex's king pawn? Then his only move is to recapture with the bishop, which Qiyu again recaptures for checkmate. I don't see how Hikaru could prevent any of that.
Very well seen :) I'm 2100 at 4 player chess, I enjoy watching this just to see all the mates they missed. This time I missed it, very well done :)
Levi and Qiyu are so sneaky in the free-for-all.
xD are you in aot he's levy not levi
ah yes the classic double carro kann. Or as it's known in Mongolia, the Ghengis Kann
The first 30 minutes, that second game that took a while, was really fun.
1:13:45 wtf is the person in left bottom talking about, checkmate with a pawn, HOW
Can someone explain why pawn couldn’t take queen 1:25:40
puzzle time
25:43 blue to play mate in 2 moves/turns!
hit like people can see it
But was it a forced mate? Can't red help. I see Qe2 Qf2
I think he means Qg13 then Qxf13 because yellow is in check and has to move the King. But it's not forced because red can defend f13 with Qf11.
@@crimsonblade2519 defending with queen doesn't work though
yess you both are right Qg2 is easy forced checkmate
At 1:25:33 why did Manbunovich block with his bishop instead of using his pawn to take Gotham's queen?
Thanks in advance.
he is getting checkmated by nemsko in the back rank with a laserbeam (queen+bishop) so he blocked Levy’s queen with his bishop while also protecting himself from the backrank mate as his rook is now covering that square
I am talking about the n8 square

Levy falling asleep during the discussion at 2:02:32
Whole stream?? Did Hikaru forgot to upload the clips so now has to upload the whole stream to prevent delaying the future streams?
I love seeing Alex now that I know who he is. ❤
Ah, yes, playing for second. That's how I play my normal chess games.
She sacrificed the QUEENS!😂

They’re long, but I love watching them. There’s always someone that gets bullied 😂😂
Looking forward to the next 2 hrs watching this :))
what is with the other 47 minutes and 6 seconds?
Levy is giving me Neil Patrick harris + Brandon Urie Vibes
Shoutout to Hikaru straight up farting at 45:10
Hikaru's Harem with 3 queens. :D
Aleksandr was a great addition, good videos as always.
1:07:51 d7 is mate no?
30:50 I thought that the checkmate was just below the king with the queen???
Qiyu's Queen was protecting that square. If Hikaru's Queen had moved there Qiyu would've exchanged the queens
TheVigilMark no because Levy plays before Qiyu so she wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. Hikaru even realized that it would've been mate after he played the move.
1:13:50 wrong, can't move forward 2 with pawns.
I think you are right, yet I’m doubting if it was possible for her to move F3 to E2..
Because it looks like they could move pawns diagonally in this game but I’m not sure.
I saw hikaru clicking on his pawn and it gave him the option to move it diagonally..
I have no clue man
5:45 Qxb8+ and Qxc9, then Bxb8 and Qxb8# ? This is all forced i think
Chess is love. Chess is life.
I like when Levi & the Asian girl is on one team, last time they beat Hikaru (by checkmate his teammate) was epic & funny.
