Sometbing about watching chess players like on our level while the game is being explained by GMs is soooo interesting for some reason I can watch it all day and I’m not a big chess guy
I think that the big missplay for poki is in 13:07, when she ate the knight. The play was definitely to move the rook to e8, because it would have created good enough pressure on the knight and it couldn't escape because then she would have eaten the queen with the rook. The only play to defend it would be with the pawn, but then she could attack with her own pawn, which will allow the queen to escape but will reward her with a free pawn as well as her own pawn in a leading position. From there, the win is set.
😂Yeah...That bish had _one_ very important job back there. Adding pressure with the rook would have been the natural progression. Still, I'm still impressed with how long she went as a 600 without hanging a piece.
Not knowing the first 5 moves of your opening as white and most of the variations of your opening is very substantial to your position for the rest of the game, he threw from the minute pxd5 instead of pushing e pawn
16:12 X could have played Queen C6 for a threat on Poki's rook while simultaneously defending the checks from Poki's Queen. I know poki woulds just move the rook but i think its still better than what he played.
there are a lot of things they could have done. i mean, they're beginners, of course there's stuff they could have done but didn't know about them. duh
Anyway else think that Pokemon quietly sitting there with her headphones on maybe just maybe was getting advice/listening to the casters or something? If she was talking out loud explaining her decisions it would not be so obviously suspicious.
@@arnavjaydev4447 Isn't it possible that her headphones are connected to a screen / device that is not the screen that she's sharing? She could just have it connected to her cell, all I'm saying it was a bit sus.
but what would they really achieve out of cheating? Win a couple hundred-thousand bucks and some title of twitch champion? It's not even worth it to cheat in a friendly competition
You can use the same argument to all online players,unless you have evidences that she is cheating.Also,it's normal to not talk much during a game.In fact,you shouldn't even talk in the first place,since you need to think a lot.
glad I wasn't the only thinking that the whole time. Like the bottom right commentator explains moves she should do in painfully obvious detail repeatedly (Almost he's trying to get her attention). Most notably 19:17, literally sounds exactly like the two are talking to each other. She literally responds "Yeah" after he mentions something and then seemingly tries to play it off but idk maybe it's just a lot of coincidences.
X played around his rating, and pokimane played well above a 600 props to her
Well she is a 700 but yea
@@one-to-one-ratio still pretty amazing
Sim-
I think I heard someone say that this is her alt
Bruh I’m 1000 I’m not this bad xqc play like a 850-900

They both played well

Poki pogged out of her gourd, I thought xqc played around his rating
We all smell massive cap
12:00 "I would never see that in my life" actually true after blundering mate vs. logic
"the only thing the rook did was get captured" 😂

It’s notated as exd5 lol. Anyway, yes exchange French hurts me

after rook c8, queen a4, and rook c5 white has only managed to help blacks attack on the white king develop.

7:39 Still. You can't grow anything without juice. It works.
because pawns can get JUICED UP
Poki played really well
Love to see chat spam sadge when pokimane gets destroyed
Simps
I think it’s also people not liking xqc lol
xQc for the win
Is xqc 's headphones on backwards?
The first 2 seconds though
I'm always winning till I blunder....
90% accuracy
Amazing reaction
poki holding the fort for the girls and the gays, xqc representing therapy cases iktr
She’s not gay
@@samplename8721 But.. but... she says she wishes she was gay
@@03Ryen same like i have absolutely nothing unique about me at all
@@mdharv wtf??
@@sean5967 what. I wish i was gay. that’s the comment
Why does xqc touch every piece? Also didn’t hikaru teach him how to development normally
Its something i used to do alot too, it helps you visualize where your piece will be and thus where the attackers are coming from.
Random comment
I thought it was bloodborne
Idc if she lost, poki is queen
god theyre so bad and they actually study this game
At 17:12 rook g1 would be horrible because then poki could checkmate with queen f3 correct?
Not correct that would be mate xQc can still block with rook.
@Angel Vollant what a God
heh...I like Live PC too.
20:37 when she moved her king to e8, yknow she already gave up. didn't even try to win anymore lol.
move it to e8
What else was she gonna do?
Song played at 0:40 please. Anybody
I recognise it. I think it's something from the Hospital Records crowd, maybe Netsky or High Contrast? Might just be Pendulum though
13:30 the gender is not so simple
Kinda not wanna root for either.
Same tho,but there's no pokimane POV for some reason and they only focus on XQC,so it's kinda not fair,it'll be nice to know her game plan.
@@muhammadazrafbinmohdakmam4772 what, they got roughly equal screen time albeit she got hers as she was also most checkmated.
better player
i don’t like poki but she clearly Won this tbh can’t believe she’s a beginner amazing!!!
Exactly, Clearly won, she didn't lose or anything.

Is it just me or did xqc had check mate at 1:23
Bro, brain damage much?
What mated?? Qe7?? Bro there's a bishop and queen on black that can block
Jesus Christ the amount of poki simps in the chat is too much for me to handle
Pokimane the type of person to cheat in chess
.?
clear bias towards pokimane gotta love it
Lol. Well., she was the underdog in this match. It's almost always the case that they are favored
