Hey Levy, just wanted to say that I love you in all the vids! Started watching your 1000+, 1200+ etc. series and I absolutely loved it! Now I'm trying to better my Caro-Kann (fav. setup) with your advice and I have been trying the Dutch with support of your video! Thank you a lot and I hope you will keep on making good vids and improving along the way! Much love from the Netherlands!
14:34 it's not a checkmate until it's the player's move who's checkmated. it doesn't matter whether it's impossible to prevent the checkmate before that, I think. and in that position, it was still possible for Hikaru to move the knight and thus dismantle the mating net just before green's turn.
when i realized that hikaru and levy depicted in the thumbnail with beers surrounded by bookshelves are the proverbial friends at the bar and/or library from agadmator's constant absurd hypothetical i spat out my drink
I doubt Hikaru will actually see this lmao, but here's my guess as to why the second game wasn't an auto mate and Hikaru had to just make a random move for it to be checkmate: Theoretically, he could have just moved the knight that was helping make the pin... He obviously has no reason to do that (since it's creating a checkmate), but since he physically has the option to move it (since he wasn't in check), he could've optionally gotten rid of the pin, and that's why the game waited for Hikaru to move :)
I think it's simpler than that. Green has to be mated when it's his turn. So even if Hikaru didn't have any moves that could save green, the system would still only give the win when green is on the move.
One thing I've noticed (or I might be wrong about this) is that knights appear to be somewhat weaker than in normal chess because of the board size. They can be effective defenders, but when there are less pieces on the board, their limited reach becomes a problem.
They literally have a value of 3 points in solo chess, while bishops and rooks have a value of 5. This isn't some amazing discovery - it is literally part of the rules of the game.
Wait wtf it’s me
You're not Harry Potter!! Don't lie for fake internet likes dude.

Hikaru: " I thought my King was my Queen"
I also moved the king because I thought it's queen in team chess too. My teammate thought I'm retarded lol
Because Q and K are swapped and his memory betrayed him there.
Whoever does these thumbnails is a comedic genius.
@@UnionRing Nah, String Dogg is the editing king of chess who works for Chessable now. I just make thumbnails and cut Hikaru's videos with Chessbae.
@@jarons awesome work dude!!!!
jarons holy f are you the one who makes these godly thumbnails?? if u are then good job mate
@@jarons thumbnail Lord 😉
Hikaru with his friends at the bar (and library?)
Ah yes finally a 4 player chess where Levy isn't be disrespected
When there are no females around what's left is cooperation and bromance.
he's been practicing 4 player
Nemsko is rude dunno if she knows it 🤷🏻♂️
Levy is actually such a bro, he needs more love
I like how Hikaru is kinda out of his depth with four player chess, it’s chaotic and unpredictable, makes it entertaining!
Mass confusion is a guarantee in 4 player chess
When you are a successful chess Master and a great streamer, people will snipe you,trying to drag you down....
Thumbnail is simply hillarious.
Love it
Im pretty sure losing to obvious cheaters in 4 player chess doesnt do any dragging down. Its just annoying.
Can someone link Hikaru reacting to sasha grischuk thug ligmfe compilation?
"what should i do, Levy?"
don't
Never expected Hikaru to say that xD

wait what i dont get it

that makes sense actually

Hikaru: I'm a 2700 GM Random Guy: that's cute, I'm 2000 in 4 player chess
Damn Hikaru even got Daniel Radcliffe to play with him, amazing man.
rumors has it that, this channel produces the dankest thumbnail in all of youtube
rumor has it* or rumors have it*

Thats kinda trivial, but yes you are absolutely right

Blue: makes first move
Levy: I think they try to mate me
That moment when you feel you're better at this game than a superGM
Hikaru playing 4-player chess is like "Go out into the unknown, you already know what you know"
4 player chess is so out of hikaru's mind, from hanging a queen to thinking the king is a queen, good vid.
1 move into game
Hikaru: "i think i have a checkmate" next move
I think this is the first I’ve seen Hikaru play 4 player chess and not be blue.
No Nemo this time . Finally some peace ☮️
Just watch last year's twitch rivals where Hikaru teamed up with Levi... Back then Hikaru was no chill lol. Now he's old and always chill.
We need a compilation of Hikaru trying to make illegal moves at 4 player chess and his reactions to it.
These thumbnails are comedy gold.
long story short: chess and 4-player chess are 2 completely different concepts
You should’ve put agadmators hoodie guys in the other 2 face cam slots
4 player is chess is more entertaining than standard chess
change my mind
Thicc Chungus you should try 960 crazyhouse
[Insert comment about how comedic the thumbnail is]
ive been loving these 4 player content
Checkmate only registers on the move of the player being checkmated
4 player chess tournament with levy and hikaru would be fun to watch
subscribing because i just seen you in the show billions. had to replay cause i thought I was seeing things lol
lmao 7:15 Hikaru is not about the defeatist comments
Loved this, but still prefer classical chess and Banter-blitz :) But need to get better at this :)
Everyone's terrible at 4p chess like the people back in 1400 who didn't know what a ruy lopez was
This is the best. I could watch them climb all day :D
Half hour videos are just perfect keep it going
btw the opponent cant see the arrows
Absolutely golden thumbnail
You guys missed checkmate last game played.
Now that I'm 2100 elo in 4 player chess, this is so funny to me :)
21:08
Man Hikaru your editor is a boss.
Who knew Chess.com would need a streamer mode? (hides name online if desired)
Left click remove all arrows
Hikaru + Levi vs Carlsen + Giri when??
Man I know he doesn’t work on it that much now, but I’d love to see new merchandise. I love the shirts. Also this video is great.
Is the editor from the UK cuz the thumbnail is just them in a pub🤣
where's nemo and alexandra
That was Beautiful...........
I suppose there will be no video of Hikaru's yesterday's meltdown..
Played BigFish1995...it didn't went well and he was totally tilted
where can i play chess like this
This channel has the best thumbnails on TH-cam.
At 0:59, great
My name is grand master misgenamov
Any 4p 960 chess?
the dream team
this hikaru guy is really good kinda like GM Nakamura
Your mom is really good, like your mom
very strange how hikaru uses the home depot theme song for his videos but honestly I respect that
Whoever does these thumbnails needs a raise.
Is Hikaru always listening to the same 2 or 3 songs?
It’s just non-copyright music that the editor adds in. Unless you’re being sarcastic then nevermind
@@TW-sh2un what Hikaru also listens to the sam songs cause he sings along occasionally
i know you heard this a lot now, *PLEASE COLLAB WITH SAMAY*
Hey Hikaru! Keep popping off, you're doing great
Im big feeling that thumbnail
What is the name of the song in the background ? ( Im the 69th comment 😁)
chess without a brain
Just do a 30 seconds stream delay for stream snipers😉
i think no matter how strong someone is , if the other 3 ganged up then the strong player wouldn't stand a chance
This is the guy who committed suicide?
PLEASE DANIEL NARODITSKY IMPRESSIONS REACT VIDEO
hikaru is hilarious when he’s high
THUMBNAIL GUY NEEDS A RAISE
