Wirtual the kind of guy to play a racing game for his entire life, build two massive youtube channels around them, and then abrubtly shift the entire genre of his channel to chess because of one tournament.
As a chess noob the coaching sessions are really great content. It usually gets too dry for me if its just a dude or lady listing off rules / concepts. The games are super entertaining as well. I tried watching pro chess, but I can't follow along, the ideas are too complex and they move so fast. On the other hand in pogchamps this are still above my level, but barely. So I sometimes see things they don't and vice versa. It makes it alot more engaging for a novice like me.
“Don’t do that by the way, but it would be funny” is about the closest you can get to just telling people to go do that. Wirtual knows how this works lmao 25:20
Congrats! It's great to see your improvement. I'm a big fan of tactics (almost 1900 for tactics vs 1500 for Rapid), so I appreciated your talent for finding appropriate tactics in the different positions. Great job!
Caught this live on Anna’s stream, and the hosts were low key dissing her lmao. Also Anna’s trying to get 5 kakky maps with Wirtual’s help, so it all evens out lol.
At 13:44, why not Qb6+ first? Isn't it a free move? If Qb6+ Nd4 block, then Bxd4+ and you still get the a1 rook with a fork. If Qb6+ Rf2 block then Qxf2 and the a1 rook is still under attack by the bishop and I don't see a queen trap or a counter attack either.
I love these amateur chess tournaments. Chess enthusiasts are usually so pretentious and condescending about spectating amateur matches, but this is way more entertaining that trying to follow a match between GMs that don't make sense to me even when commentators explain the positions in detail.
QT is one of those players that are so intimidating based off their speed alone. If she finds a way to slow down during the mid game she is a SCARY opponent.
i so wanna face wirual in chess, he probably win but it would be such a fun match to see what knowledge i got left after being really good then not play for 20 years
There’s only one way to end this. Anna needs to win a Trackmania tournament
I'm 100% here for it.
She actually finished some Kacky maps so..
It's written in the stars!
@@lety0udown963 Really? Wow, where can I see that?

I feel like he would do that, idk why tho.
3* channels
Real
Always good for content creator to setup alternate avenues. You want to have the ability to be a general creator.
And also abandon the main channel
the chess arc has been 🔥
Lirtual won the loser bracket! Truly pulled a Lirtual
@@thisismychannel4174 Could say he turned an L to a W. So he pulled a Lirtuaw
It's chess himself how are you so old and not dead
@@ithinkitwaskhamasgood one dude
Hi chess can I get a free diamond plan?
It's time for Anna to participate in a TM tournament.
She already got a fin in kacky btw
@@shauas4224Already 3 finishes
Go Anna
*kacky
trackmania Pro-Am lmao
Wirt’s chess arc has been wild dude. Not the content I wanted, but the content I never knew I needed

I *loved* getting to see how excited Anna was for the good moves, and confused when he switched up his opening lol And of course, well done!!
Congrats Wirtual for winning in div 2! :)
LMFAO, still goated tho
“Don’t do that by the way, but it would be funny” is about the closest you can get to just telling people to go do that. Wirtual knows how this works lmao 25:20
Internet do your thing
5:20am perfect time to concentrate on a chess video, thanks wirtual
kacky sleep schedule
This is truly a shonen story. It will all culminate in Wirtual facing off against his childhood bully, Magnus.
I would genuinely pay good money for this manga
Minus the age gap, they're both from Norway
Anna has a way to make Chess seem sooo intense, it's refreshing, super fun to watch
My favorite part was when Wirtual said," it's wirtualing time" and Wirtualed all over them
This is not polish league UA-cam
Thank goodness he didn't pull a Wirtual then.
truly a morbid wirtual time
this comment has been used so many times its basically a bot message
@@sumseq ya know I said that to myself the moment I typed it out
irl chess feels so much more intense to watch
Getting to watch this live, and watching Anna’s VOD after, was so much fun. Great performance and tournament!
Wirtual has now cemented his legacy alongside Magnus Carlsen. Norway pride!!
Now we need Anna winning cup of the day and Wirtual playing Connor, that match would be wild...
Congrats! It's great to see your improvement. I'm a big fan of tactics (almost 1900 for tactics vs 1500 for Rapid), so I appreciated your talent for finding appropriate tactics in the different positions. Great job!
thank you elensar for editing out qt's road rage incident
🙏🙏🙏
good choice lmao it was so out of place
Me editing this video and hearing about the road rage incident be like 😳
What be?
QT could NEVER play kacky
Ma boi! Proud of you @Wirtual, your drive to try new things and exceed is what helps keep me going in the things I do.
Now it's official: it's not about trackmania, it's about determination.
Andrea is honestly a great commentator, she can talk as much as she wants
Andrea and Levi commenting together was really fun for earlier games
These chess videos really are super entertaining. I hope they stay around in some form or another
Watched her since before Wirtual got into chess, but Anna just seems like the sweetest person. Well done, Wirtual!!
Congratulations Wirtual, I wish I saw your streams but my days are always busy, but I'm really glad you made it and won, you're now a POGCHAMP!!!
Anna just needs to win some TM tourney for new players now to out earn Wirtual in TM and the circle will be complete
2:00 was the funniest line ever said by a commentator I swear 😂😂
Caught this live on Anna’s stream, and the hosts were low key dissing her lmao.
Also Anna’s trying to get 5 kakky maps with Wirtual’s help, so it all evens out lol.
It's so heartwarming how Anna cheers for her student!
Well done man! I was rooting for you!
Anna being super happy and proud is so wholesome 😂❤
Finally my favorite chess streamer is not streaming some bad racing game
Qt pulled a wirtual but at the end of the day im glad wirtual won
a reverse wirtual: throws in qualifications then wins div 2
Really good to find that checkmate in the end of the first game, I feel a lot of people in your skill range would just push the pawn to end the game.
Wirtual boutta be the first GM and TM (Grand Master & Trackmania Master)
Holy sh*t, wirtual got chess arc this is what i call character development
I love how hesitant qt was about shaking wirtual's hand she must've seen the handshake with Anna lmao
Anna guessed that the title would be: "How i accidentally won a chess tournament"
Love how when anytime QT blunders she starts to laugh and giggle to distract virtual but he don't care😂
Thats was insanely good, watch again after live
I never thought I'd see the day when Wirtual gets help from a Swede.
Anna is so supportive, congrats to both
This guy probably made more money than 90% of people who play chess competitively at a relatively high level
Finally a video I haven't seen o the clips channel yet
this is what I call prime first monitor content.
You can really hear levy’s influence on Ludwig regarding chess commentary
If you can make Anna a good Trackmania player, then you will be a real champion.
you earned more money in chess than trackmania... that's the key point
nicely done Wirtual. looks like QT under estimated your prowess.
So, Wirtual, being from the literal Magnus Carlsen-land, went to Sweden of all countries to learn chess.
This is main channel content!
this is indeed the year of the main channel
Nice div2 win, when is the next one?
Wirtual padding esportsearnings.
Wanted to see that Dina game tho. and I hope there is more. Perhaps this week with the Clash crossover?
i just missed you in norway, we went there the day you went to sweden :(
15:40 what a lost bullet 😂
Not yet watched this, but based on the title alone I can already hear in my head; "And then Wirtual got this move... [cue Sax solo]"
At 13:44, why not Qb6+ first? Isn't it a free move? If Qb6+ Nd4 block, then Bxd4+ and you still get the a1 rook with a fork. If Qb6+ Rf2 block then Qxf2 and the a1 rook is still under attack by the bishop and I don't see a queen trap or a counter attack either.
How exactly does the inclusion of Qb6+ Kh1 help black though?
Anna taught wirtual well clearly
As a chess addict before trackmania addict, this is the perfect content 🤘
14:04 I think she said "girls' night" because he fumbled his move like he was drunk
Now Anna needs to win a cup of the day
Great win, man
How did we not see it
“Don’t do that btw… but it would be funny”😂😂
I love these amateur chess tournaments. Chess enthusiasts are usually so pretentious and condescending about spectating amateur matches, but this is way more entertaining that trying to follow a match between GMs that don't make sense to me even when commentators explain the positions in detail.
congrats my man! :)
You deserved to be in the champions bracket instead, well played Wirtual!
You earned more money in chess, then in trackmania, and more than professional chess player
I would love to see a TM tournament played by chess pros being trained by TM pros.
Awesome job Wirtual !!!
15:40 was my favorite part
QT is one of those players that are so intimidating based off their speed alone. If she finds a way to slow down during the mid game she is a SCARY opponent.
He’s not hard to trash talk 😂😂😂 best reaction
And then Wirtual got this play
I just started chess, and I usually make bad moves, but sometimes I do it on purpose to get used to being in a bad position
But then, Wirtual played - this tournament.
I feel like Anna is the mom and wirtual is the son 😂
All that's left now is for Anna to make more money playing Trackmania than Wirtual
Bro pulled a Wirral in every game
Why do you constantly change the quality setting of the VOD your footage is from?
Next video: "How i speedrun speed-Chess by mistake"
XD
rare footage of wirtual not hating the sweedes
You can't break a pinky-promise!!
Anna said calmly
Wirtual is a monster on Trackmania but I could beat him in chess.
i so wanna face wirual in chess, he probably win but it would be such a fun match to see what knowledge i got left after being really good then not play for 20 years
The Chess arc is real
nice! Grattis!
Congrats Wirtual!
cant wait for next pogchamps
Now, you will teach her trackmania right?
-Wirtual stares at me-
You'll teach her... Right...?
-Wirtual stares at me-
The bald comment was so funny😂
What are some tips to improve, I've been playing for a year and am stuck, any advice. Love the video though.
Congrats!
Wirtual you're the man.
Dude, your side view looks like the picture on the penny.
My (div2) streamer❤
Does Wirtual have more money earned in chess than Trackmania now?
He traveled to LA to play chess In Rocket League nice
Ludwig was so hostile towards Wirtual during this, I didn't like at all how Ludwig was talking during this stream
He is playing his gf i think, but yes, he could be nicer
