I love how everyone was ready to have fun until they realized that 2 of the gifts were a few hundred bucks and the rest were gags and then they were out for blood
3:08 Fabi analyzing a possible variation of the game rules. Daniel Rensch suggest a possible counter, and Fabi just answers with a brilliant move! GGEZ!
It wasn’t a “possible counter,” it was an additional rule the players had to follow. Fabi simply pointed out the most obvious move after the clarification: take the AirPods (because you can’t take the Switch back, and the rest are gags).
Love wesley! He said he was desperate for a good tournament and when he said that i thought "watch out" dude is playing with no fear and nothing to lose! BEAT THE NORWEIGAN lol
Nodirbek still looking for the present under the sweater after he's sitting down is unreal lmao also Denis going home with a switch after the tournament at least lmao
it was probably before/earlier in the tournament (judging by the fact that he wore the socks to rounds) so unfortunately it seems like he hasn't laughed since this video was shot
People laugh at the syrup, but as a Canadian I can confidently say that real maple syrup from Quebec makes a fantastic gift. It’s ambrosia, straight up.
This is the kind of content all us chess lovers are DYING to see. When is the next time we get to see x7 Grandmasters, and x1 IM gather in one room for a video?
Didn't expect an awkward gift exchange game video with chess grandmasters but now I want one every year!
if above comment gets +5K likes we'll make it an annual tradition
@@chess guys u heard the man
Everyone like this comment
It is time
oh yeah
Why was I there.
Yeah good question for that
This felt so awkward but also so wholesome
exactly
0:28 look at maxime 😂😂
It's just the added music that made it wholesome, I'm sure it was much more awkward lol
@@hantergidi😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Funnge😅

All of them are millionaires in there, Except Lazavik and Nodirbek but they're wealthy too.
Lmao no prob the only millionaires are Hikaru and fabi @@seya_2
you don't stop recognizing the value of things when your bank account is 7 figures.
@@seya_2
That photo of anish is worth at least 300 dollars 😂
@seya_2 Chess players make almost no money bro. Anish Giri can't buy business class in a plane.
Can't believe Hikaru actually wore the socks😅
Danny jinxed him. Hikaru is having a terrible tournament thus far 😅
:(@@susbedo9258
for the memes
Of course he did, he's a true content creator 😂
Hikaru wears pineapple shirts. The socks just complete the look😂😂
That magnus pillow is absolutely genius
thanks it was my idea

I am chess

Magnus not showing for the holiday antics... why does that seem oddly on brand 😂😂😂
he is on hiakru's side 😂
I'll bet he was disappointed he didn't get to be the certified Lord of the Bongcloud.
He was probably drunk at the chessbrah house already

Fabi stayed in his prep until the end
he must be good in every game- maybe he can take up Go and Chinese Chess
It wasn’t a “possible counter,” it was an additional rule the players had to follow. Fabi simply pointed out the most obvious move after the clarification: take the AirPods (because you can’t take the Switch back, and the rest are gags).
MVL is the true winner here, that Anish portrait is levels above
Do more stuff like this. Get all these other GMs on the content map

@@chess Glad to hear it, this is great stuff!
Great content!
The exchange sacrifice didn't work.
Hikaru getting socks is so fitting for how this tournament is going.
I was exactly thinking that. This is not his week.
But Hikaru wearing the socks is a bounce back boss move- foretelling his resiliency today
yes bad luck socks
Fabi trying to "solve" the game was funny.
He already calculated 😂
Wesley is jus pure positivity holy-
Fr, I'm so happy for him with how this tournament is going! ☺️ He deserves it
He was the only one who actually LOL’d
Love wesley! He said he was desperate for a good tournament and when he said that i thought "watch out" dude is playing with no fear and nothing to lose! BEAT THE NORWEIGAN lol
Nodirbek still looking for the present under the sweater after he's sitting down is unreal lmao
also Denis going home with a switch after the tournament at least lmao
Wesley is unleashed, his laughter gave me years of life 😂
Mvl classy af. Letting the kid get the console... class...
Golden opportunity missed for Levy to run in after everyone left the room and take the Magnus pillow. Video would have been perfect 😂
I'm just glad to see Hikaru laughing a bit, it's been rough days for him 😊
it was probably before/earlier in the tournament (judging by the fact that he wore the socks to rounds) so unfortunately it seems like he hasn't laughed since this video was shot
Why he has rough days ?
@@Benjamin.-_-.04 He's been taking really badly his defeats, very emotional, it's like the Hikaru that didn't care now cares too much
@@Benjamin.-_-.04 Because he's been crying into that Magnus pillow.
He kept losing to almost everyone until he got eliminated this night @@Benjamin.-_-.04
Wesley is such a character.
If he tried streaming as well I’m pretty sure he’d gain an audience.
Lazavik is so obviously not used to doing this kind of media, fair play to him though
He doesn't speak English
The interactions are so weird that are cute at the same time, kudos to Danny for congregating all the nerds
I'm so happy for Denis. He was sat there so quietly but now he's got a switch. Thanks MVL 😁😁😁
I love seeing their personalities when they aren't playing chess.
Trueee!
I'm really glad that Lazavik got the switch! He's younger and would probably enjoy games more than the other guys!
Yesss this
Exactly!
MVL has already one I think
Hikaru is a gamer too. Just saying. But probably doesn't have time for another console
@@susbedo9258I remember he said on his live he has a switch on his garage when he was trying to play the watermelon game.
Thank god no one stole the switch from Lazavik, he's the only kid in there!
Fabis face when Wesley stole the AirPods 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is such a brilliant idea! Magnus missing out on fun
I love seeing chess geniuses hanging out together.
This explains so many social media shenanigans we've seen in the last few days 😂😂
ur welcome
Dani is chess monument. Only he can give chess some sense of humor
They stuffed Magnus in a pillow to contain his chaotic chess abilities
Wesley in the best mood cause he’s dominating this tournament
I like these kind of videos. Seeing gm's in a more relaxed environment and not just at the board
True!
I like seeing Wesley out of his shell and making jokes.
The jokes Carlsen would've made when they revealed that Giri portrait 😂😂
Love this type of content. We need more of this!
Wesley So got the best gift in the end . 😂
For people who don't know, Magnus wasn't there cause he was at Puma for a video with Pep Guardiola, What a Giga Chad.
Too much brain power in one room
Love the wholesome content. Keep it up please.
First time I see these guys not trying to murder each other, wholesome
That explains Anish's portrait in MVL's hotel room and Hikaru's socks in the earlier round. 😂
The content's so fun we almost forget how intense and cruel the tournament is.
Meanwhile Magnus chilling with pep
I feel like MVL took the Giri portrait so he could give Dennis the chance to grab something he liked. Good man.
where the hell is magnus
me at 0:17 oh there he is
LOVE this kind of content! Keep it coming!
So that’s the origin of the portrait! Great video. You can see why Wesley is doing so well in this tournament. He’s having a great time.
I swear, trying to organize anything related to social media with chess players must be so hard xD.
Good video anyway, we need more of these.
Wesley so is always funny. Dude never has social anxiety
As a Canadian, I would have stole the maple syrup
In Iran: horse (no knight) and elephant (no bishop) and minister (no queen)
This like that episode of the Office, hilarious
"Holiday" party. its called CHRISTMAS
ngl i think it would've been funny as hell if Magnus just appeared at the end of the video
Wesley acting like he had to think about which gift to steal LMAO
mvl wins the game, securing anish is like securing 2nd queen in chess
That explains MVLs post of the Anish picture in front of his bed 😂
Wesley seems so fun
They are all a good sport and this is really really wholesome!thanks Danny!
I love how Danny Renach never fails to bring the awkward with him wherever he goes.
I love these hilariously awkward videos
This is what we viewers wanted as a Christmas gift....do these more guys🌟🌟
MORE GRANDMASTER CONTENT THIS WAS WONDERFUL MERRY CHRISTMAS YA FILTHY ANIMALS!
Very interesting how Kramnik was not invited.
wesley's laugh is the cutest thing
Comedy that Fabiano Caruana drew number 2 XD
awkward but wholesome at the same time. Really nice that Denis got the switch :)
Danny Rensch is such a chill host/commentator
fabiano calculating how to win
3:52 Wesley knows what's up
3:04 Wesly did actually steal fabi's airpods, he did not ask him at all
It would've been the greatest video ever if magnus was actually there XD
Truely the most valuable gift was the signed inish giri picture
anish really is able to popping up everywhere lmaooo
When you exchange presents, but you are a GM so you make it overcomplicated 😂😂
Magnus should have been Santa to match his avatar lol
"Im number 2, the best- the worst number" 😂
People laugh at the syrup, but as a Canadian I can confidently say that real maple syrup from Quebec makes a fantastic gift. It’s ambrosia, straight up.
The content we deserve!
Magnus made the correct decision.
they didnt tell them the price limit ahead of time 🤣🤣
That one weird family at Christmas that no-one wants to visit
Guys, blink three times, if you are held captive...
This has the same energy as when tech TH-camrs met up that one time.
Wesley is a funny guy 😂 i mean all of them 🤣
This is the kind of content all us chess lovers are DYING to see. When is the next time we get to see x7 Grandmasters, and x1 IM gather in one room for a video?
Ohhh now i get why Wesley said he has a date night with Danny, 4:08 is why! Very funny segment btw!
Petition to include Vladimir Kramnik in the video.
Daniel Rensch just hilarious
The audio production is of incredibly high quality.
Alireza just kept the maple syrup lmfao
Magnus probably came late for it or just skipped it for his puma interview
Lol i knew the switch was instantly getting stolen twice thats the best gift there
Christmas came early
I love seeing top GMs out in the wild 🕵🏻♂️
Mvl and Wesley are so sweet 😂😂
Jumping into dannys socks was a huge blunder for sure :D
Everyone except for Fabi was really playing checkers, not chess
