I don't know whether the guy was stream sniping or not, but in the second clip Qc4 is a totally understandable move for a 600 player to make. Like Hikaru said, it's a move that simultaneously puts your opponent in check while also not sacrificing any obvious pieces. That's basically 2/2 for what 600 players are looking for in a move
Yes + if he was stream sniping he would have played this move one turn before as Hikaru was already suggesting it heavily. Once again Hikaru and his massive ego saying dumb shits
Queen check by lower rated player is normal. He could not know if it was good or bad move, he just played it. And he did not play it when it was suggested, but two moves later. I don't see anything suspicious. I don't understand Hikaru here
It sounded like the person had been playing moves based on what Hikaru was suggesting before the clip starts. Queen check was probably just him trying to confirm his suspicions. Since he just claimed the dude might be stream sniping then suggested the check, the guy may have played something else at first on purpose. I could be wrong but that was my read of it.
Could be stream delay. And also Hikaru was suspicious at first since the guy kept doing moves Hikaru mentioned. High level moves. And then to blunder the Queen like that just makes no sense
hikaru has stream delay maybe Might just be a coincidence but the move happens at 1:45 and the move got finished being explained like 30 seconds earlier
@@thechesshistorian even if you don't see the wide open king you could still take a rook and knight in exchange for a queen and not have to resign right?
Hikaru has a tendency to cry sniper. I noticed it in several of his FOW videos, where a reasonable move based on what his opponent could actually see is labeled as evidence of sniping.
@@karaltar7914 if this is the case, then it is the fault if the clip for not providing the necessary context. I didn't know I am supposed to know the history of the universe before watching this clip.

I don't think you're stupid at all, I just think in the case of patchless games like chess - So many people have gotten so ridiculously good that regular audiences can feel left in the dust a lot of times (including me and I love the game!)
It's a bad move, because Nxe5 threatens the queen giving you a tempo on the rook exchanges. Incidentally keeping the queen on c6 runs you into the same problem unless you can present a bigger threat. I didn't run it through an engine though, so I could be missing something
@@chaosblitz7921 Oh crap, you're right. Hikaru is often way beyond us mere mortals when it comes to chess. He is afterall one of the very best in the world.
2:09 I’m proud of my self for seeing the tactic before he explained it. He made up a bunch of nonsense saying he’s losing a rook when in reality he wins a rook if black attacks with his bishop and takes the pawn in retaliation.
I feel like second clip is a dice toss. Qc4 is a natural move for a 600 rated player. It's hard to see what exactly you should do, so just getting a check seems like the correct option to a 600 rated player. Clips 1 and 3 were for sure stream snipers.
Somebody else here said that's missing context from the stream, the guy had been playing very high level moves right after Hikaru suggested them so he got kinda sus
Hikaru has a history of accusing everyone and their mother of chesting/stream sniping. 1000 rated player plays a single good move? Obviously stockfish 600 rated player makes a non-obvious blunder 3 moves after Hikaru talked it? about it? Sniper confirmed.
2:32 lol i like how bishop b4 is easily escapable… u just take the bishop, he retakes with the pawn, then u give a check with ur queen to e3 or something, he defends the king first, then u get a free rook
lol the transition between naroditsky actually baiting a sniper and hikaru pretending a 600 rated player will only check his opponent for no gain if he's watching his stream
i'm not very good at chess, so i'd probably give a 50/50 that a couple of those moves are something i'd unironically make on my own thinking i was getting an advantage
Both Qc4's seemed like reasonable mistakes for their ratings tbh. I'm most inclined to believe chessnetwork's was a real snipe, even though he was the least accusative.
@@Onemandon1245 in hikaru's case, queen check is the most intuitive move for any beginner. In Jerry's case, a 1700 may have thought he found something brilliant missing the in-between move. Beginner psychology. Those are not evidence of stream sniping
@@jamarimcfarlane4844 like i said. Watch the full clips. In hikaru's case the opponent was playing all the moves that hikaru called out, beating xqc very easily. Hikaru then called out the queen check which the opponent did and blundered the game
I never seen something like this before, it was actually interesting. Though I feel like it would be hard to play as you normally would for both parties if you going to do something like this.
To be fair to the guy in Hikaru's video, Qc4 may be a garbage move, but garbage moves are what 600s play. Then you must also consider it is a check, and one-move checks are also things 600s like to do.
There was high probability any one would check king in tough spot.... And he said that move ages ago, by the time opponents played it board was heavily changed
With the Hikaru one, what's the continuation that makes QC4 such a bad move? I'm having difficulty seeing it. Edit: I plugged it into Stockfish and it's a bad move, but white still has a massive advantage. Plus, xQc moved his king the wrong way
The point is that if black plays Rxd2, then white doesn't capture the queen but plays Rxd2 himself and the black queen is still hanging. If black tries to defend the rook again with a move like Qe6, then white trades both rooks and moves the knight back. Yes, he 'only wins a pawn,' but white retains too many positional advantages.
It’s not sure that the second video is stream sniper based on that move alone. It’s 600rated chess player and there’s a check on the board, they’ll likely take it. He knew that the pawn take is bad, he would make plays somewhere else on the board and there’s a check. I played low level players too so I know their “natural” moves
danya's oponenet could sacrifice the queen for two rooks and knight. after the night moves rook takes rook, knight takes queen, rook takes rook check, king moves, then pawn takes knight.
ngl, when i was in grade school & competing chess, my coach told me that if i intentionally sac a piece, especially a queen, i should act like i made a blunder so my opponent won't even think twice abt taking. acting def is a tactic & i'd recommend doing this in low elo tourneys.
I always thought stream sniping in chess was counter intuitive. If you're focused enough on the game you can easily read what's going to happen. When stream sniping, you're now relying on the opponent to notice their own mistakes or give up some relevant information that, in most cases, should already be obvious to you. On top of that, you're essentially giving up the initiative and playing reactionary chess. Instead of pushing your own plans you're hoping to play around the holes in theirs. You give up your own tempo for information that was already available to you.
Danya's position is actually still quite tricky to play. If white goes to take black's queen, Danya will ended up trading all of his pieces with a single queen and that's actually losing for white. But since it's Danya we're talking about, I'm pretty sure he'll settle for up 2 pawns instead of trading all of his pieces for a queen.
@@joshhfletchh4841 the queen will just move if he take the rook. So it's more about the positional advantage rather than a material advantage. Well, up 2 pawn is a huge advantage in that position, especially for a GM. It would be a cakewalk foe him to convert that position into a winning end game.
@@Vandalgia It's not tricky to play. There are very few variations, and no complex in between moves. It isn't clearly a stream snipe though because it's an understandable blunder. Coming into a position fresh it's easy to see but coming into the position with the assumption that a piece can't move because it couldn't move before is a common miscalculation error.
@@tommydashed4205 as in tricky, lower rated player would probably be gauded into taking the queen, and even if they managed to play the correct move, they would still probably struggle to convert that into winning position, haha
So when Danya plays Nxe2. Let's say Black captures the rook. Instead of taking the queen with our knight, allowing Black to take another rook and our knight, we can play Rxd2 first. Black still have all the problems. Both the queen and the rook is under fire. Even if Black can play Qc8 defending the rook, we can trade, move the knight out of the attack and be up two pawns.
I doubt the Hikaru clip was stream sniping at all because I'm 1400 and idek why that move is so horrendous and their only 600 they probably just gave a check because it's a check and that's how 600s think

"STREAM SNIPER!"
Your biggest enemy, is yourself. According to stream snipers anyway 😂
the mortal kombat symbol with a horse is sick
You’d expect them to learn over time 💀💀💀
How did Gotham didn't make the cut!
I always thought stream sniping in chess was counter intuitive. If you're focused enough on the game you can easily read what's going to happen. When stream sniping, you're now relying on the opponent to notice their own mistakes or give up some relevant information that, in most cases, should already be obvious to you. On top of that, you're essentially giving up the initiative and playing reactionary chess. Instead of pushing your own plans you're hoping to play around the holes in theirs. You give up your own tempo for information that was already available to you.
If you are going to cheat in chess, you just use a chess engine to do it.
“The king is pinned”1:34
yes we saw the video
But the best one has gotta be levi’s steamsnipe catch, it was just too smooth
This is medicine for the soul. Just beautiful.
Hikaru’s was great because it lead to a positional advantage instead of potentially seeable material.
LMFAOAOAOAOAO DANYA’S SO GOOD AT THIS
"for over 3 minutes" turns out to be 3 times it might've happened, but probably it was more like once.
I think it normal move for 600 elo player
Bro got blame so hard💀
bruh why were there only 3 moments
I didn’t see the title, just the thumbnail and by the second clip I thought it was about how you should never put a Queen on c4
Danya's position is actually still quite tricky to play. If white goes to take black's queen, Danya will ended up trading all of his pieces with a single queen and that's actually losing for white. But since it's Danya we're talking about, I'm pretty sure he'll settle for up 2 pawns instead of trading all of his pieces for a queen.
I think if he takes the rook, you take back. before taking the queen later
@@joshhfletchh4841 the queen will just move if he take the rook. So it's more about the positional advantage rather than a material advantage.
Well, up 2 pawn is a huge advantage in that position, especially for a GM. It would be a cakewalk foe him to convert that position into a winning end game.
@@Vandalgia It's not tricky to play. There are very few variations, and no complex in between moves. It isn't clearly a stream snipe though because it's an understandable blunder. Coming into a position fresh it's easy to see but coming into the position with the assumption that a piece can't move because it couldn't move before is a common miscalculation error.
@@tommydashed4205 as in tricky, lower rated player would probably be gauded into taking the queen, and even if they managed to play the correct move, they would still probably struggle to convert that into winning position, haha
So when Danya plays Nxe2. Let's say Black captures the rook. Instead of taking the queen with our knight, allowing Black to take another rook and our knight, we can play Rxd2 first. Black still have all the problems. Both the queen and the rook is under fire. Even if Black can play Qc8 defending the rook, we can trade, move the knight out of the attack and be up two pawns.
I doubt the Hikaru clip was stream sniping at all because I'm 1400 and idek why that move is so horrendous and their only 600 they probably just gave a check because it's a check and that's how 600s think
