19:45 Hikaru: "I learned this when I was 9 years old this guy better know it"
Levy: _Sweats_
Is there a lesson on that?
Couldn’t stop laughing XD
"...Good!"
Yep
⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰p
This is basically the chess equivalent of a Pokemon battle.
Lmfao
lol
If pokemon were chess players lel
Pikachu used Botez Gambit. It's not very effective...
Fun Fact: Levy actually played Pokémon.
"He had plenty of time to think and come up with better moves" says Hikaru when some random has 5 seconds on the clock left
I know right, I was searching for this comment after he said it
Dude should try playing with a trackpad.

culum2007: *Checks stream to see what Hikaru thinks they should do next*
Hikaru: "Do you eat fries with mayonnaise?"
lmao hahahaha no way this comment only has 2 likes
Hahahahaha lmao 😹😹😹😹
Levi: I'm more on the traditional side when it comes to meals.
Hikaru: (literally eats French fries with Chinese chopsticks)
As a "cultured european" can confirm - fries with mayo - is best!
@@janisnaglis5036 The misunderstanding is that mayo isn't the same in the US. What most of us call mayo is Miracle Whip brand. As Levy said it's pretty much mostly for sandwiches. It's not as good for dipping unless you mix it in with something that is, but it's not like European mayo.
This is great entertainment. But I gotta say Hikarus facial expressions is the best part
Looked at his face and realized he always has a reaction lol
These matches are like anime battles. Loses a queen, draws anyway. Lost every piece, wins by timeout.
The chess community has the best comments sections on TH-cam haha
How was that a draw btw
@@vital5874 Which match?
@@malachiaguilar5127 bro I commented that when I just got into chess thanks for taking me back lmaoooo I know how games are drawn now but ty
what anime are u watching

Levy: Why is white sacrificing a rook??!!
It's called a blunder, Levy.
44:19 watching Levy and Hikaru simultaneously scream over a blunder is sublime
players: having the match of their careers in front of thousands of people
hikaru and levy: *"no mayo belongs on french fries too"*
who the fuck puts mayo in french fries
@@nifishdafish3145 Hikaru apparently
And it IS a common thing
@@nifishdafish3145 i used to dip my fries deep in mayo then dunk em in mustard after. Fucking loved that shit
@@justinmarsaud22 fax but Netherlands better 🇳🇱🇳🇱
12:20 Hikaru on that eating french fries with chopsticks meta
It's really convenient cuz you don't want your fingers to get greasy :)
high level for things like cheetos as well to keep fingers clean
I do the same with powdery popcorn
Eating everything with chopsticks tastes better to me, I don't have any explanation or reason to think that, it shouldn't make any sense, but that's how it is for me. Any truers?
@@skylimitua I think this makes sense if what you're eating would be normally eaten with a metal fork or spoon. For example ice cream taste testers often use gold plated spoons because gold doesn't create a metallic taste like normal metal cutlery which would change/muddy/influence flavor profiles. So eating with wooden or plastic chopsticks would mean little to no additional flavor from metal to the food you're eating. It could also be a placebo which have been proven to work in many instances.
22:00 Hikaru checks stockfish on ceiling to know what’s his favorite meal
He enjoys a fillet minion
@@bigolm7minion😂😂😂😂
"If my team wins, we're gonna win." Immortal words
Levy: I got some moves in mind but I’m not gonna say them out loud.
Hikaru: Right, so yeah I mean White can move Knight to H5, Bishop G4.
Levy: ...
👁👄👁
time stamp?
@@daft_punker 12:23
Dude right?
It’s funny because I can clearly here hikaru’s voice in my head as I read that
Wonder how good hikaru would be if he didn’t use Stockfish on his ceiling lol
Ikr... He even has some kind of motion sensor too... He moves the pieces in the ceiling engine just by waving his fingers in air.
I don’t think Hikaru has Stockfish on his ceiling! He is just a good chess player. If he would cheat why not just place Stockfish behind your pc and not on the ceiling!
that dude with the glasses is annoying af
@@eldoreschess2428 you're right. it's komodo.
@@eldoreschess2428 no it's alphazero
It's still so unbelievable that Hikaru practically remembers every game he's ever played.
Studying your previous games over and over and over is a great practice
Yes but still, remembering whole games from 20 years ago is really fucking wild
Especially the middlegame, lots of things happen and can lead to hundreds of millions of different positions
The memory and pattern recognition is crazy@@Baddaby
Imagine playing for Hikaru and hearing “I’m so disappointed, wow, I’m just disappointed.”
😂
"Oh yes... NO!"
So good.
r/ yes yes yes no
very good
Time stampppp
@@angelo_infinite2391 1:21:16
@@Buffalo_Soldier @Rafiz Because after rook takes d4, white would take rook #1 on d4, with their rook, instead of taking the one on d8 with bishop. After that point, black COULD just move the rook on d8, but the better move is to take on d4 with the knight so that there are no rooks left on the board.
That scenario would end up with black having knight and 6 pawns, white would have bishop and 5.
Instead, it's black with rook, knight and 6 pawns, white with bishop and 5.

Levy-"I've played 400,000 games of chess", say average games with, classic, 10min, blitz and bullet, is like 15mins that might be generously low, but thats 6million minutes. Meaning that's 11.5 years of straight chess. Levy is 25 years old. Say you spend 8hrs a night sleeping so that 75k hours sleeping in 25 years or thats 8.5 years of sleep, so levy has spend 16.5 of his 25 years awake. So that means levy has spend 70% of his waking life playing chess
Nerd
he prob wont be using the entire time usages to play
That's a mystery I never thought needed solved but I'm glad I know this man has spent more time playing chest than I've been in grade school
He plays a lot of 3 minute blitz games
15 mins is way to much bruh
22:16 legendary Hikaru quote, "Fill It Minion"
was it a bit? how did gotham not react
I see your “Fill it Minion” and raise you one burrito from “Ki-pote-lay” at 22:45
I don't understand how Hikaru can just remember every move of a game he played a decade ago instantly
Same with pro poker players it blows my mind
Any pro would remember some moments in their journey so not that weird, or someone that just dedicades years in something
When its not just a game but literally your entire career and lifestyle its not too surprising
@@mrMario468 But did Levy just happen to bring up one of the games Hikaru remembers, or does Hikari actually remember most of the thousands of games he has played?
It's because for every official game, pros actually prepare the game they play, and also analyze it later. That combined with the good memory a pro player has probably explains it.
Levy: "I don't wanna say the move, cuz you know, stream snipers"
Hikaru: *let me lay down the theory and every good move possible.
Gotta earn those subs however you can. 💰
You guys need to do this more often
31:15 Hikaru's face expression is just hillarious
What about 38:15 :P
22:17 “A nice fill it minion” XD
Still better than calling Cordon Bleu -> Gordon Blue
23:08
Lol I was like what haha glad someone else caught that XD
Filet mignon is weirdly pronounced so you cant blame him
1:19:40 "There was someone from CAnadiA"

I feel a little bad for Chennai. He was not playing like a 1446 at all. He must have cracked under the pressure of being on stream.

Also Hikaru: *complains about Levy not going to the opera*
“Have you ever been to Amsterdam?”
“Is that a joke?”
44:17 Botez Gambit
Always pays off B)
that was below the belt. you deserve jailtime
Can't even decline
that was ridiculous

"we should do this again soon..." - hikaru nakamura 2020
I love when Levy laughs at something Hikaru says, and Hikaru just looks like "Fuck you laughing at? I'm serious."

Match Highlights in my opinion(Starting from 4 match).
Round 4:
31:14 best moment ever, they were saying one thing and then they get uno reverse card
Round 5:
37:33 Levi playing along is the best
38:15 troller gets trolled
44:15 Hikaru speaks it into reality
Round 6:
50:50 kinda funny
Round 7:
1:01:50 Goes from bad to worse
1:03:25 Maybe Hikaru should stop talking so he doesn't jinx it
1:06:10 Lmao Jake
Round 8:
1:07:02 Levy speaks the truth
1:10:58 Hikaru done with life
1:11:55 Eval Bar did a uno reverse
Round 9:
1:17:20 Levy now knows how Hikaru feels
1:21:19 ^^^
Round 10:
1:28:30 800
1:33:00 ...how as a 400. How can't an 800 not win this.
thx bro
Great way to evaluate this video.
1:22:04 is the moment I burst into laughs, Levy being a good teacher.
L
17:48 "This is like looking at one of Qiyu's games" LMAO I love how Levy and Qiyu constantly roast each other
44:30 was like a kick in the balls
Seriously, I actually felt sick for that man. Been there too many times
i really liked the guy asking questions. it helps bring the master down to our level. great job both of you. thank you

Wow awesome recap!
YOU ARE THE BESTTT
Someone gotta pin this!
The textbook definition of "My son can beat up your son."
Fillet minion 😭😭😭
I feel like one way to see the differences in skill level is that lower ranked players very often tunnel vision on moving one piece and leave the rest standing on their starting positions.
1:14:30 when two masters are on the edge of their seat wondering which 1200 will screw up first.
My god that end game was bad, 1200 should definitely do better.
17:00 I couldn't stop replaying😂😂😂
I thought they was like 900 rating but..
bruh the fact that i’ll probably never be over 2000 rating and even if i were they would still be laughing at my moves
Naka looks down at his lunch ... “there’s a back ranker, too”
@@eduardoqueiroz3331 900 makes pretty much of mistakes i am full of mistakes with 1300 so i just can imagine how much more mistakes 900 does...
GURHH??
subs: battling in chess
hikaru and levi : battling if mayo belongs on sandwich or french fries
Would be cool to see this with a round robin system. Like start with the lowest rated players and then the winner of that game faces off against the next-lowest rated player, etc.
1:21:16 is the clip from the start :)
Yes it is
i worship you
It is yea, honestly
THANK YOUU
Imma get u a cookie
It's crazy how these chess masters are able to think so clearly with all these patterns. The INSTANT a player makes a move Hikaru just draws like a ton of arrows around the most critical locations in the game.
i love wholesome food talks! something so comforting about it
Hikaru's statement at 1:09:00... Respect bro! I am one of the current National Dart Champions and every moment I get I try to pay attention and give respect to lower players. Without the lower ranked players which are the majority us higher skilled players would have no fans.
10:47
cursed pawn
Things you don't want your chess coach to scream during your match: "That move hangs everything!"
I love how Hikaru is all chill when someone blunders a queen into a draw, while Levy freaks out, lmfao.

i dont think he was stream sniping
Yeah lol! The position changed and he still played the move Hikaru said hahahahah
As a 550 score player myself, I enjoy seeing the lower scoring play matches while the pros give live commentary. I enjoyed seeing the mistakes that I normally make but having the pros talk about their choices instead. Sometimes when I watch Hikaru play versus other good players, he makes the game look easier and then I int my score.
I enjoyed the commentary...
Aside from the "Oh what? That was bad." and "No no, no! That was stupid, what is this?"
Andy Malik as a player who’s barely 600-rated, I can relate to this.

lol! Hikaru at 1:02:24 can only stare in horror as his player blunders to death
21:38, you can pinpoint the exact moment where Hikaru's heart breaks :)
The sequence at 44:20 lmaoo "that was uhm, shall we say, not inspiring"
34:54 levy spitting facts about The Carushow
I’m here 6 months later to say dude was 100% named after the GOAT and not some old ass opera singer lmao
Am I the one that thinks the username is referencing Alex Caruso not the opera guy Hikaru is thinking of
Seeing Levy die inside after the Queen mouse slip made me die of laughter! that was just to hilarious!
Loved to see this, games and commentary was very entertaining!
44:16 There's literally no other moves to get your queen dead lol
Exactly. ANY other move is okay.
Literally ANYYYY OTHER QUEEN MOVE in any direction.
64 chess tiles meaning there’s 1 in 64 chance of that happening
@@mr.awesome4184 well the queen isn’t able to move to every tile at any given moment so it’s more likely than that
@@mr.awesome4184 there’s only 25 possible moves, 1 of them loses the queen
And the black king’s only legal move is to take. So unfortunate.
I like the banter between Hikaru and Levy.... They're seem like long time friends
That's the magic of internet communities :b
Its not really balanced tho usually Hikaru is bantering waaay more ^^, I think Levy should say more
@@msj8601 he can't. In a chess match, levy can't reply to hikarus attacks. The same thing happens with the insult battles.
When you do sub battles you could add a twist:
At any point during the game one of the participants can ask for ONE move
stupid
Thank you for the content Levy! Can't wait to see you make GM!

Levý is too humble. We all learn from you Levy. You are a great teacher.
This should be a branch of chess. Having a team tournaments like this
24:30 he resigned because he saw he was getting mated in another 429 moves

Oh man, this Video is 3 Years old... I wish i could play in such an event too... 😄
I’ve never been so offended on how different Hikaru said “filet mignon” .-.
44:15 I literally stood up from my chair when that happened
love these sub battles i didnt think chess and laughter went togther
Not sure where Naka got his info. Check the crosstable for the Carl Dunn Memorial held in 2020. In round 4, Alex Richter of Iowa defeated GM Timur Gareyev. Alex entered the event rated 2329, which seems to be a bit higher than 2285.
What a content thank you guys good job Hikaru and Levy !!! Much love so much fun
Hikaru: "WHAT!?? YOU WON'T EAT FRENCH FRIES WITH MAYO???!"
Also Hikaru: *Eats fries with Chopsticks*
