• Как Иванчука от шашек ...
just beating carlsen on the side to make some money to feed his checkers addiction
Funniest shit I have read!
Out of all of them he actually takes the time to smell the flowers. A man who's enjoying life and loves living in the moment. Classic Ivanchuk. Would love to play this man a game of chess. Would be a dream come true. I'd lose in about 45 seconds but still, lol.
The first place flowers just smell better
I would not play chess with him. But checkers for sure.
2:04 First he gets angry with the flower because it does not smell as he expected, 2:08 then he forgives the flower.
vural you are a fcking genius of observation
looooooooool topkek
hahahahahaha
Maybe he thought for a second Putin had sprayed some nerve agent in it
It's funny how he was the only person who smelt the flowers.
There is only one Chucky - crazy, brilliant, temperamental, and unabashedly passionate about chess and life. Unlike most top GMs he doesn't appear to give a damn about his rating and will play anyone, anywhere, anytime. On his bad days, he'll crash and burn spectacularly, but on on his best days, he will crush any player alive. This was one of his best days! Congrats to GM Vasil Ivanchuk, the new World Rapid Champion!!
unabashedly ... crazy was enough
@@dreamex3m some people like writing well. I'm not that guy but I respect it and you should too
How can you not like that man?
He was born in Ternopil region, Western Ukraine, in Kopychynci Willage.
Instantly I became a fan for life! Chucky's passion has no bounds.
What's the point of being an ass like that exactly?
IZn0g0uDatAll His not intentionally doing it. if he did then he wud be an ass. But here he is drawn deep into checkers like a kid. It is rare to see Adults show pure excitement. Chucky is like that.
moser bear you are such a class act.
Senthil Vinu it's exactly like that. and that's awesome!!
Love how even Magnus, who looks clearly pissed off about not winning the world rapid tournament, can't help but smile when he sees the beloved Chuky running towards the stage.
At 2:39 he is clearly calculating moves in his head. I love him.
While Magnus seems to have something stuck between his teeth.
Muy cierto!!
He gained more than 50 rating points in winning. On the podium playing checkers in his head hes a star
He found a winning move on the podium:)
Thanks for exist Ivanchuk!
Everyone else is playing chess while Ivanchuk is playing Checkers...
Awesome - how can you not love Ivanchuk
Grande Ivanchuk!!!
Ivanchuck has been in the very best tier of chess players for twenty years. He loves running up and down on the ranking list.
A real genius!
he is a very good person
Just legendary. Two genius and magnus carlsen on the pedestal... Playing shashki, take the medal and flower, again playing shashki and winning.
Thank you so much for this fantastic video!
The kindest and most lovable guy ever.
Chucky is love, chucky is life
Chucky loves checkers.
Василий Михайлович молодец!
3:12 Chucky checking over his podium prep. 3:31 Chucky getting excited because he sees the win. What a guy!
Man with no haters
Great Ivanchuk!, he is amazing!!!!
Видно радушный человек. Поздравляю!
maybe the best video on the internet if you are a chess / checkers / draughts / Chucky lover.
2:38 wait, I think I can beat Jobava with....
Podos Goland Just saw he looks so satisfied with it he has so much passion
When he's on, Ivanchuk is a 2900 player
more like 3800
3800 is God's elo...:)
God is obviously speaking via Ivanchuk :)
@@kasparov9 he's known as Planet Ivanchuk ... on his day, he's on his own planetary level. Kasparov feared him the most, unpredictable and got crushed by Ivanchuk in Linares 1991. That's probably the most painful defeat from Kasparov.
4:04 Wow is that youngling Firouzja?
Yep, and the guy with the dark polo is Nepo
You can also see MVL and Fressinet around him. Fressinet is the one who resumes the clock
Just look at how he made Magnus smile. How can you not like Chucky?
Love the dedication !! This guys needs his own Truman Show.
I just love Vassily Ivanchuk(Genius)
Living in the moment. Absolute legend.
the best thing about any tournament is the blitz games after
What a guy! Totally eccentric! He is so cool. XD
4:03 young Alireza right there in blue hoodie 📷
Young Nepo jumping on the board at the end.
2:19 "wait a minute, this isn't the Ukrainian national anthem..."
it's amazing how their mind works. wish I could grasp this ability but am obviously overlooking the dedication and training of these genius'
He is so full of life
A living legend
Turn captions on during 2:10- 2:14
lmao! I didnt notice that. You're an excellent spotter of funny lyrics!
a living legend!!
Seems like he liked his flowers. Look how he smells them
Chucky at 54 still managed to be in the top 16 of the hardest and most congested tournament of 2023, he is a man of Chess, a man that really loves the game and will love it til he can.
2:45 The calculation happening
wow what a guy. real proud champion of Ukraine.
Carlsen at 2:35...... "Man I can't stand this guy, he has my number........... buuuuut he's so funny"
Lol, so true
2:20 not Magnus's happiest face
Обыграл какого-то Магнуса, чтобы сразиться в настоящем поединке!)
Яну бы так))
Bravo Ivanchuk. Madalya töreninde 2:35 de çiçeği kokluyor fakat gözlerinden anladığım kadarıyla sanırım aklı yarım kalan oyununda. 2:38 de iyice düşünmeye başlıyor. 2:48 de maçtaki kazanç hamlesini buluyor sol elini sallayarak sanki oynuyor gibi yapıyor, başını sallayarak "tamam tamam oldu bu iş kazandım" dercesine düşündüğünü onaylıyor ve tasdik ediyor. Derin bir nefes alırken yine çiçeğini koklamaya başlıyor. 2:52
I just notice, while he is receiving his award, he's thinking of his next move on the checkers he's playing.
You can't be COMPLETELY normal as a world chess player, now CAN you? XD
Chucky IS normal, we're just all abnormal lol.
2:29 Grischuck tries to get on..Chucky not moving so he stopped lol
3:14 is that young Nepo?
Yes, it's he
This is the best podium moment I’ve ever seen
Chucky Ivanchuk, my new avatar
Magnus, you only will be a great one until you learn to be a gentleman when you lose.
he dont give a shit bout that
Rotzfresse thats what your theory says ?
Basic knowledge. You'll find it back in the ancient philosophy, when they discuss the difference between a human and an animal. Or between a human and a barbar. And in the eastern philosophy too. F.e. such a behaviour at a Go-World-Championship is unthinkable.
Rotzfresse its better you keep your theory to yourself
Not possible. Because it's not "my" theory. It's basic knowledge. It's better you and Magnus start to thought about the importance of good behaviour in a competition. It's important for the society or in case of Magnus for the image of chess.
Вася красава!
Nice to watch! Event: World chess rapid and blitz championships. Doha, Qatar, December 2016.
The variant of checkers: Russian draughts.
Это он на награждении партию в шашки вертел в голове, промывая ходы. Красава 💪. После подбежал продолжить и притворил задуманное )))
Such a beautiful video. Look at Alireza Firouzja!
"Yeah bitch, I'm fucking flawless!"
Jobava seems fairly strong. Ivanchuk is about a Candidate Master in draughts.
2:38 So I missed mate in 23 during game 4..
Just take my money lmao
LMAO! Good one
It seems like he was calculating checkers...
NATURA,RZECZYWISTOSC,DOBRO.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!N!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This video was recommended by Diana and Peter Leko during 2023 world chess championship(Azerbaijan-Baku) during Ivanchuk_Vehap game😄
Yes, that's why I looked for this vid to watch hahaha. Nice vid by Ivanchuk. He's so nice.
Lol im here too
Anyone after actually improving chess by samay and surya
Bhai abhi vahi dekh ke aaya
Just now😂😂😂
✋
They are playing draughts, also called international checkers, though on an 8x8 board instead of the usual 10x10. The flying king at the end makes it clear. Ivanchuk has been known to play in official draught tournaments, I would assume he is quite good at it. I've played it, but being used to traditional checkers, I have found international checkers quite difficult.
Ivanchuk vs Morphy would be the craziest/most interesting chess match of all time for ever!
Salamat sa PAGPATAY at PANGGAHASA sa mga anak ko ,,Sana mag.1st stage agad pagkamatay ko
YOU CANNOT NOT LIKE THIS DUDE, EVEN IF YOUR NAME IS MAGNUS!
Who is here after Surya Ganguly's stream?
✋
two great men. respect Georgia Ukraine
Un grande!
From Surya's stream
Anyone else notice the one in blue is Firouzja?
YES AND ONLY YES!!!
With a very young Alireza Firouja kibbitzing at the end...
flowers are nice, checkers is life
Він родом з Тернопільщини!!!
2:10 "Yeah bitch, im fucking flawless"
Invanchuck: the flowers seem to be stale
запах роз, вдохновил василия, и он закончил партию в шашки, победив)))) буду нюхать розы, может откроется чакра победителя)) васян гений
still calculating ☺
That combination at 3:36 :D
... and I just found out jumps are forced! I never knew this?!
@@joddle23 thank you for this, it was killing me how is ivanchuk winning... His opponent has to make the jump by game rules, now it makes sense
I think years after someone will shoot a film about the guy
que genio!!
Grande!
He always reminds me of a Sesame Street Monster... And these 'Monsters' are so loveable and offbeat. I would really prefer to be a friend of Chucky rather than Magnus. More fun...
¿Quién por aquí después de ver a Vasili llorar cómo un niño en el último campeonato de Blitz?
triste momento, amigo
Madami ka palang talent boss .....🤬 Salamat sa mga laro mo so pretty wow ,,,devboaststation lng so easy the whole world w/ you injoying ....
