Man I don't like xQc's personality, but I respect the shit out of him for taking the serious time to learn and improve at chess and play it for stream, despite chess being not the type of game to be popular on Twitch. He seems to actually be in it and that's cool.

Watching a super GM comment on a beginners games is honestly some of the best content I've seen in years. So often when we see super GM's talking, it's with other super GM's and so people who are fairly new to chess like me are just lost, so to see Hikaru explain what xQc should do and why in basic terms is invaluable. More of this please!!!
It’s so funny seeing Hakiru say “oh that’s a great move” while the chat is spamming pepelaugh and pepega and acting like they know what they’re talking about
I knew this was coming eventually. Everyone started somewhere, and Felix is first and foremost a gamer. You don't get to be top500 in Overwatch without some semblance of strategic thinking. I imagine it doesn't hurt to have a literal Chess Grandmaster showing you the ropes either
also Hikaru was such a good teacher. I've never played chess properly before but after watching those videos of him teaching xqc I played some games and was shocked at how much of what he taught xqc was super helpful. Although I still have so much to learn I keep getting stalemates.
@@1100MC Depending on what time format you play, when there is very little material on the board you need to make sure your opponent can move. I catch myself "Setting up checkmate" when in reality I was about to stalemate! Usually the best way is through a flow chart. After my move can the opponents king move? If yes no stalemate if no then check if they have any pawns or pieces that can move. Hope this helps at least a little
@@1100MC Yeah, I've thought about Hikaru's "anything hanging? any checks? any captures?" checklist so many times during games since I heard it. Also, endgames are tough but stalemates aren't the worst problem to have starting out. It probably means you are too focused on capturing pieces, but also that you have an understanding of how to do that. That's good! That tactical understanding is a real asset, you just need more focus on the objective. Every capture is just a means to an end. If you're familiar with Overwatch, it's like if a team had good teamwork and mechanics but didn't put enough focus on the point. You're set up well to do better, you just need to change why you're doing what you're doing. Take the more specific advice from :thinking:'s reply and run with it, I believe in you!

Yeah Nb5 here 7:15 was the only way to actually save this position for white, but kinda hard for many to see. Nice, and great student you have here too. That is very rewarding to see indeed! Thx.
he might not see every threat or different lines which lead to winning pieces but he is at least thinking a step or two ahead which is great for a 600player
Personally I hope xQc never picks up the proper terms and just keeps going "bing bang boom" all the way to high elo
Cancer Police Same. “Juicer to H7”.
He's gonna keep lobstering his enemies.
