@@flaviomarchi1946 because BoxBox couldn't make any legal moves with his king (moving anywhere would put him in check) but his king wasn't actually in check/checkmate
not to sound pretentious but im like 1200 and i can do this but like actually saying the notation and stuff. i trapped a queen and found an underpromotion checkmate playing a friend blindfolded yeah that sounds pretentious lol ignore me
I love albert's like anime excitement whenever he thinks he can take luds rook. Lud: *moves a piece that was not at all in the way of albert taking his rook while there are still like 3 pieces in the way and luds rook isn't even there anymore* Albert: *_F O O L_*
LUD JUST BLEW MY MIND WITH HIS TALENT. Bruh did you play when you were younger or like is this just a few weeks of studying??? Your level of adaptability is unmatched.
Because of twitch, im in the making of a bot that you can solo blind play with against friends Basically: you type in the piece and location you want to move, then target destination, if the piece or location is wrong you cant use the command. After your command is typed it confirms it and deletes the recent move so you cant keep track of it
At 14:00 he said to move the bishop to a place that could take a high value piece since it couldn’t reach anything already, but instead of moving it to the right where it could take the knight, she moved it to the left where it still couldn’t reach anything 😆
The fact that Lud sipped from the exact right position on the can at 11:57 leads me to believe that he could see through the blindfold but I could be wrong
Nah he sat in the same position for a couple hours I'm sure he remembers where his drink is. Also he could just move his hand around the right side until he felt where the drink was and pick it up.
“Take his rook”
“...You can’t...”
Repeat for 20 minutes
James On a Cross thats the most true thing ever
Now that’s content
The actual part of the stream was "take his rook" "you can't" repeat for 50 minutes
boxbox yelling to take his rook getting exponentially funnier everytime he cant lmao
"HAHA, you fool. I take your rook."
It was hilarious
Man wanted that Rook DEAD ahahaha
For real I thought he was done trying to get the rook, and then he yells to take it one more time and still can’t
it was amplified if you watched hikaru's pov, this game was exponentially funnier there 😂
This is literally just 20 minutes of five head vs three head
and he still threw for content what a madman
but which is which
Sam A lud was the 5 head
five head
How did he draw??
this was genuinely insane to watch cant believe lud has been a 5Head this entire time
He has a photographic memory. You should watch hikarus video on this blindfold match. He was really impressed
I recommend Hikaru’s video, this video is good, but Hikaru’s video on this is so much more hilarious
Have to be smart to farm subs
I would like this comment but it’s at 420 likes Soo..
But can’t play with eyes open actually pretending for subs and LULWs
1:47 the way she laughs when Ludwig says “friend” is certifiable proof that they are indeed friends 😏
Yeah, "Friends" I guess they are friends with benefits (if you catch my drift)
@@cherry_leviathan5942 the gawk gawk strikes again
Eugene Poez Lmao
@@eugenepoez And the sequel Lugwig and the Gawk Gawk
nikrodox hey dude Allegiance sucks lol
Hey props to lud for going from being uninvited to the tournament to being asked to commentate
I’m sure he is absolutely loving all of this attention and exposure. He’s been all over r/livestreamfails too.
"and now I take his rook"
He says it way too many times.
When lud said he was ‘friends’ with QT she looked pissed lmao confirmed they share the cars bed
Nah she laughed
@@noahjensen371 Ye she had a smug, definitely more to that than a friend if she reacted that way :)
LULW
random dude she’s confirmed they’re dating like a dozen different times on stream, idk why y’all are acting like it’s a secret still
@@FizzyCape she did? Awesome :D
Nobody: BoxBox: I TAKE HIS ROOK
FOOL! I TAKE HIS ROOK
Who else was here when the title was "How I accidentally became a blindfold chess legend
"
He always mistypes I think he purposely does it
I’m stupid, what’s the error?
Ben blindfold as opposed to blindfolded
Lmao 5head comment
lets go boys
This physically hurt, hikaru was so impressed, lud was doing so good and he threw it
for content tho
Fredrik Svendsen it always is
Dumb question, why was it even a draw.
Flavio Marchi yeah I actually sorta know a little bit about chess and I was confused
@@flaviomarchi1946 because BoxBox couldn't make any legal moves with his king (moving anywhere would put him in check) but his king wasn't actually in check/checkmate
1:48 did you see the way she smiled when he said friend?
They're so cute I love them
The cuteness omg
gawk gawk
dalton homenick the gawk gawk 360 supreme
YEP GAWK
so CUTE who knew my OTP could be two twitch streamers
That was actually super impressive holy shit.
This is seriously impressive
yes
not to sound pretentious but im like 1200 and i can do this but like actually saying the notation and stuff. i trapped a queen and found an underpromotion checkmate playing a friend blindfolded
yeah that sounds pretentious lol ignore me
hikaru was pogchamping the whole time on his stream, he understates how impressed he was after the match
can't wait for Ludwig to change the title for no reason in 30 minutes
wow boys I was right he changed it in exactly 30 minutes
Trueeeeeee
Lmao he needs to get the video out on time and then think of a normal title after.
He does it for analytics, if its doesnt start strong he changes the title to get more views
He's just done it boys
@@momobobo5430 that’s really smart tho
"He probably knows where Asia is!"
*wikipedia race flashback*
"FOOL!" He yells
not knowing he's talking about himself lmao
Hikaru's reactions makes this video great
9:10 “Accept draw, X or p l u s m a r k ” I suppose opposites attract, and no wonder Ludwig is such a savant
Ludwig: moves literally any piece
Boxbox: YOU FOOL!
Next title: How I was accidentally born
Except for the first few hours it would be “How I were accidentally borned”
Anna Nimmous Lmao true, English boy doesn't English very well
“So so, my mom, and my dad, in in the bed made me, so when I was birthed, I think it was because of that, and I’m an accident”
Watched the whole thing live, it's actually insane how good your memory is. Also that En Passant was fucking peepoPog
Ludwig: Accidentally
Also Ludwig: “The plan is simple”
I like how even with a blindfold you can still tell when his eyebrows go up
Take a shot for every time Boxbox wants to take the rook
That was legitimately impressive. Good shit, Ludwig.
Boxbox and Ludwig crossover is something I never thought I wanted but now I need more
Real ones saw this when it was called ''How I accidentally became a blindfold chess legend''
Why does the other dude sound like he's playing Yu-Gi-Oh lol
I'm very impressed by ludwig, and the talk by Hikaru at the end, you could tell he was a proud coach
Ludwig actually impressed me so much, I’m so proud.
Honestly one of the craziest parts of this video is how much better QT has gotten at chess since this
Blind folded chess sounds like an elaborate version of Yu Gi Oh
This was so insane. I’m not really into the chess streams but I WISH I was here to see this.
This is legitimately some of the top notch quality content you have put on the platform, big ccongrats
Lud has to be looking through the blindfold every time he puts his hand on it
Legend Has it he is still hunting the rook.
This was actually much more impressive than I thought it would be.
qt saying we ate it is the cutest thing
QT nailed the moves and trash talk🤣👌
That laugh at the end was like the cute ending of an intense anime episode where our protagonist wins Pog
I love albert's like anime excitement whenever he thinks he can take luds rook.
Lud: *moves a piece that was not at all in the way of albert taking his rook while there are still like 3 pieces in the way and luds rook isn't even there anymore*
Albert: *_F O O L_*
lud's memory is actually impressive
*sings abc's*
19:07
Lug when he’s trying to make QT do the thing
The legendary gawkgawksupreme42069
“I don’t know what that means”
“It means dumb”
“Fuck, my feelings”
LUD JUST BLEW MY MIND WITH HIS TALENT. Bruh did you play when you were younger or like is this just a few weeks of studying??? Your level of adaptability is unmatched.
Accidentally is always a requirement for his titles
Not anymore
Already seen this on Hikaru's channel, but it's so good to watch over and over again hahaha
I love seeing a Ludwig upload going to watch and then it’s taken down only to be re uploaded with a different title and thumbnail
That’s the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen him do he only messed up once
i mean there was a way for box box to win a rook for like 5 moves but
BoxBox making moves like a yugioh character
20 minutes of “NOW I TAKE YOUR ROOK”
Ludwig: Checkmates boxbox
Boxbox: Foolish! Now I can take his rook
I love the blind confidence from them both
Genuinely one of the funniest video I’ve seen today
lud emanates the most powerful energy in this video im afraid
I lost it when hes like "now
I take his rook!" lmaoooo
Because of twitch, im in the making of a bot that you can solo blind play with against friends
Basically: you type in the piece and location you want to move, then target destination, if the piece or location is wrong you cant use the command. After your command is typed it confirms it and deletes the recent move so you cant keep track of it
Ludwig: Makes move
Boxbox: *TAKE HIS ROOK!*
Ludwig has a good memory for this, great for 1st try (or ish if practiced/tried out first). Thx.
Boxbox every 2 mins: FOOL I TAKE YOUR ROOK
Chat goes wild once QT gets in the room
how I accidentally committed an accident with a positive outcome
When ludwig says bishop and qt starts hovering over the rooks LMFAO
Anything: *happens*
Boxbox: I WILL TAKE HIS ROOK
I love the way QT reacts to lud calling her his friend
Aw man, I saw this on Hikaru's channel like 5 hours ago, but damn it I am still going to watch the whole thing
i love it when lidwig does a video with boxbox
My favorite is Box persistently trying to take the rook LULW
that Albert guy low key pissed me off so much with his bishop takes rook.
"I would like to take his rook!"
"My bishop on the corner is gonna zoom over and take his rook!"
I'm dead ☠️ this is comedy gold 🤣
Man had a durag near the end
Boxbox radiates a stereotypical Yu-Gi-Oh rival that looks like he packs a punch but then fucks up big time.
Boxbox: you took everything from me
Took
Ludwig's Rook: I dont even know who you are
that was actually insane
You did good ludwig. We proud of you
"I now take your rook!"
"..."
He got called a bonobo lmao
Hikarus reaction to all this was the best part
I processed this as Ludwig saying to QT "I am better blindfolded"
He played so well!
When you already saw this on nakamuras channel
We need another!
That pink Mogul Moves hoodie is clean
At 14:00 he said to move the bishop to a place that could take a high value piece since it couldn’t reach anything already, but instead of moving it to the right where it could take the knight, she moved it to the left where it still couldn’t reach anything 😆
He said he didnt know about the horse on b5 and thats what caused the stalemate but it was still stalemate without b5
That was actually super impressive. Wow.
No one:
"YOU FOOL! I TAKE YOUR ROOK!"
Shouldve seen Hikaru's perspective on this to dig in on how 5head Lud is being lmao
qt is the best part of this video. 10:10 "he oopsied it, youre alright"
Possibly the best blind chess player I’ve seen yet ngl. Your memory is deadass so impressive.. I can’t even remember how many times I shitted today
take a shot every time boxbox says "YOU FOOL" and then can't do what he wanted to
2:09 lud's "ok cool" activated my fucking google home speaker
man, boxbox was really set on trying to take ludwig's rook
Rare footage of Ludwig not intentionally throwing for content
NOW MY MONSTER, ATTACK HIS ROOK DIRECTLY!
SEND THAT ROOK TO THE SHADOW REALM
The fact that Lud sipped from the exact right position on the can at 11:57 leads me to believe that he could see through the blindfold but I could be wrong
Nah he sat in the same position for a couple hours I'm sure he remembers where his drink is. Also he could just move his hand around the right side until he felt where the drink was and pick it up.
You can see him touch the tab on the can to feel where it is
This almost made me cry when I watched it the first time😔
that was insane
