Xqc isnt the close to being the strongest tho, also condider that poki has trained a fraction of the time xqc has put in the game so far and almost crushed him with a mate in 1. Xqc is a talented gamer (ex overwatch pro) but i wouldnt say chess is his thing.

Oh god we're gonna have a Charlie vs Felix rematch. It would be really funny for Charlie to open up with 6 moves again, obviously it's not gonna work, things like that tend to leave permanent scars on your mind. It would still be funny though. Edit: Sadge the greaser didn't beat Ludwig mission aborted
@@MrFFHN Yeah it's a bit too bad but chess is very, very skill based and it goes to show that the better player will almost always win. It's nice to think that xQc of Moist would have been able to win but tbh they both didn't stand a chance lul.
Would be funny but Charlie's playing the Vienna Gambit and the Sicilian with the fianchetto (forgot what it's called) so fried livers are out of the question.. I'm really freaking excited for the re-match
@@naturallyselected3048 yeah xQc has gotten really good, but if that somehow happens that would be hilarious imo But he’s definitely not going to fall for it
@@johnpaulpanton5403 yeah 6-0 is absolutely freaking throbbing. I think he has a chance against charlie, and as much as I LOVE cr1tikal, I really really want him to get beaten by xQc. It'll make for the perfect anime
@@ogvamp2 Eh, hard to say if that's true or not. Daniel Naroditski is a wonderful teacher, I learned how to use The Sicilian properly from their lessons and even got EASY wins from the Vienna prep that Daniel has for him. Charlie knows his openings well, if 1.e4 then sicilian, if 1.d4 then he plays the dutch.. there's a LOT that can happen. We've seen from here that he's not that good at openings so I'm really wanting to see it happen
If you spend time understanding the position then you will have a good idea of how the game can progress and you will already know what moves you will play depending upon how your opponent plays.
"uhhh i think of it little bit like a tree, right? so sometimes uh when were going about mid game when you kind of have to make your core strategy. i think of the trunk like the big chunk of the strategy, right? ok these pieces can go over there and i try to get a uh mental map of what can happen, right? and i feel like once i build that core as i start actually playing and im on the clock, its easier to get to the branches. does that make sense? its easier to branch out and get away from the core and start trickling out of it."
Nepo, Carlsen....All sooking about this tournament...speaks volumes. I’m less than average at this game, but I love it. I got back into it after seeing Antonio on TH-cam and then later Hikaru. The fact that these guys are so invested in seeing the average player enjoying it...for me personally is awesome. I’m sure the “Super GM’s” are a little bit sour because a lot of other celebrities are getting more focus from “their” game from the masses than they are.
I like the fact people still playing chess. Even society has lost dignity and class through the years, chess knowledge is one of the little things that keep generations from losing etiquette
11:03 I wonder if white can play Ra5 here? It attacks the e5 pawn with check, which would cover the f5 square. Defending the pawn with f6 doesn't work because of Bg6+!
ra5 looks winning but when I watched this game live as much as I wanted to see it it's kinda obvious she wasn't high enough rated to find such a move since you're taught not to lift the rook like that especially with the knight undeveloped. still never checked with a computer after 5 months lol
the tree thing makes a lot of sense: he's talking abt the possibilities being the thickness of the tree, and each move that is made shaves off the many other possibilities that required different moves, equivalent to a tree trunk thinning into smaller and smaller branches
@@iSwearToCod seems like a simple view of a chess tree to me, but it also seems to me ppl were laughing at him for saying his wack-ass ideas with his liberal word choice, while not necessarily understanding him if you're only acting like everybody seemingly understands it, to make abundantly clear that you have the minimum required intellect to understand a chess tree, please stop and go get help
