Him clapping back with “I didn’t even need to go to a tiebreaker” against Sardouche was just cold

it's always incredibly satisfying to watch people who talk shit and act arrogant getting absolutely destroyed, especially if they're French

*Sardoche not Sardouche

His fatal mistake.
Ah yes "one trick Andy" is sure intelligent critism
Not to mention a bot/computer is better in chess

What if he meant it as a compliment?

That man is a legend
woah it’s so weird to watch you here man, i loved your vids back in 2k20 when i still played :)
@@Joffe. I’ve been watching Lud pretty much every day for like a year now 😁
hess just the nicest guy ever what a king
Lmao it’s like two different parts of my UA-cam worlds colliding. Love both yours and Lud’s content
What was the song right after it slaps
Hess is so wholesome; when you're not around, he says good things about you. That's the type of friend everyone needs in life.
Something very underrated about this format is how well you and your coach feel each other, the Brain has to think differently than usual. The Brain player doesn't suggest the piece that makes the best move always, if you deem the move unfindable for your Hand player, or if the risk they make a wrong move instead is too big to take. That doesn't take any credit away from Lud, because he still has to execute what Hess is cooking, but it's something worth appreciating. Hess wasn't the strongest Brain in the tournament, Ludwig wasn't the strongest Hand in the tournament, but they sure as hell were the strongest Hand and Brain in the tournament.
Good observation
Well said. This format has proved a very good teamwork can compensate a lot for huge rating differences.
fitting profile for this comment
"Ludwig is a bot" -guy who got mated in 6 moves
Lol imagine
Somewhere Charlie is laughing menacingly
@@xxx-hg2eo speaking of bots
I have no idea why he called ludwig a bot at chess as a insult. Thats literal a compliment. The best players in the world can’t beat them in real time.
There is literal almost no compliment you can give higher than that.
@@Name-ru1kt bots are predictable. Engines do literal inhuman shit that looks stupid but it's the best move
Hess and Ludwig are such a great duo. I'm so glad that Hess found him and they both stuck together
Hess really is just okne of those guys that you can't dislike lol
Hess is such a homie for saying ludwig is playing well to his chat when he thought ludwig couldn't hear
I’ve watched this video so many times, his commentary is just so good
wait what 400 likes but no repplies?
@@linusasbjrnsimonlautruplyn4537 ikr kinda weird
I don't follow chess at all but Ludwig's storytelling makes everything interesting.
We'd listen to Ludwig narrating anything let's be honest
@@xxx-hg2eo haram
Well, you have an English major right there
Agreed

Not gonna lie, it would be so entertaining to see the reverse of this tourney, with youtubers/streamers being the brains and GMs being the hand. It would be so bad with the gms reacting on how to play
Oooo that actually sounds hilarious lol
Watch Ludwig's game being the brain while Magnus is the hand against the Botez sisters, it's awesome
ChampPogs
@@JwanCortez link pls
It'd be cool but unfortunately it won't work as well, the highest rated "non-chess" streamers will have a huge advantage. The brain has more say on the strategy, for example if the brain says a piece there's at most two pieces to move. A duo with a low rated brain like XQC and hikaru will do really bad because X will make very obvious unavoidable blunders.
this is like my 6th full watch of this video, Lud is just so damn good at commentary. feels like i’m watching an anime, especially with the music
Bro was full on using YouSayRun and LA ESPADA, I won't blame u.
I also accidentally won a chess tournament once. I was acting too aggressively and got my queen and a bishop in a REALLY bad position, essentially guaranteeing my loss, but then I was like "well, if I can't win, I may as well just delay the inevitable and put him in check at the cost of my queen". I moved my queen to take his pawn, then started to say "cheeeccccck..." before realizing that he couldn't take the queen because my bishop was in the same diagonal, and his rook couldn't take my queen because he castled, so it was on the other side of the king. I continued "...mate?", and that's how I turned a certain second place into a first XD

The “how I accidentally” series is goated

on god
People are really under acknowledging how impressive that counter to the pirc is, the fact that Hess saw that is crazy
After a single review of Northern Lions game!
Yeah and after reviewing one game? Hess is an absolute legend
That's the power of a 2600 rated GM
Yea a little rough for NL's brain AndreaBotez, a fantastic but untitled player to go against a GM brain.
That's always been the trouble with these PogChamps events. There just aren't enough GMs to spread around evenly
I didn't know Hess existed. I always watched and followed other Chess personalities, like Hikaru, GothamChess, and Eric Rosen. Hess seems like such a wholesome guy, and comes up with some pretty wicked strats it seems. Not sure if he is still going, but he's def someone I have to watch now if he is
God Tier commentary for 1000, doesn't matter how strong he is as a chess player he is a perfect speaker
This tournament was straight out of the anime. Ludwig fought against almost all of his greatest chess rivals (we are only missing Charlie) and beat them because of the power of friendship.
This also proves how genius the H&B format is imo. Ludwig isn't the sharpest hand around and Hess isn't the best brain, but u can tell they work really well together. And part of H&B chess is to complete each other. Awesome to see them clutch this!
He did use some anime music as well!
@@totalhysteria It's not quite fair being coached by a gm.
@@konosmgr xQc was coached by Hikaru, a super GM. He still lost.
@@konosmgr he was up against people rated far higher than him
These are literally the best of the best Ludwig videos

They're some of my favorites, and definitely some of the best produced videos on his channel, but my favorite Ludwig series has to be his old "Poker with friends" series.

"Admittedly they did give him an extra 3 minutes of extra time i dont know why i think he slept with one of the judges" THAT WHOLE PHRASE BURSTED MINE LUNGS
I honestly hope this vid gets Hess some more clout from UA-cam frogs. Lud was spot on when he said Hess is the sweetest human ever. Even if you don’t like/know chess his streams are worth putting on while doing HW or some other activity bc of how positive and wholesome they are. Also he’s the king of dry humor which is why him and Lud work so well together.
Yea
whats a youtube frog?
I've come to realise that Ludwig accidentally does a LOT of things..
He is like the johnny sins of the twitch world
@@MrYounis26 :/
@@jotepsamuel3419 you are right i need to update it to the youtube world now.
I've come to realise that ItsMita accidentally comments a LOT of nonsense...
From accidentally winning a Pokémon tournament, to a Poker tournament, to a Trackmania tournament, and finally to a Chess tournament. Lud does it all.
great vid lud, one of my favorites yet, I hope we get more videos as thought out as this after daily uploads end.
Hess is such a beast, finding an opening trap of the opponent and it actually works and also, you need good chemestry to pull this off, like he had to find the best move that ludwig would see, that's an insane challenge, and they pulled it off
Well Hess IS Lud's chess coach, so they've likely played together many times.
yeah that was a nice trap, northernlion and andrea really threw because that pirc was awful. I play the pirc and they maybe got like 10% of the opening moves right
This also proves how genius the H&B format is imo. Ludwig isn't the sharpest hand around and Hess isn't the best brain, but u can tell they work really well together. And part of H&B chess is to complete each other. Awesome to see them clutch this!
As a big NL fan, this ludwig rivalry arc is amazing content
Egg
let's go!
i’ve been watching northern lion since around 2013 and it’s so amazing to me how he still does it, daily isaac uploads for over 6 years and now he’s interacting most popular people on twitch regularly, i love it
imagine you're having a chess tournament about a dope thing and you are really good
Anything he wins, he puts accidentally in the title. Nah man, you’re not bad. You’re goated and really good.
thats the joke
Naah he's trash. He wins literally on accident with just good luck and nothing else. His highest subs record, psshh, on accident. His hair, psshh, always on accident!!
The “how I accidentally” is the absolute best series EVER...
Damn right.. somehow every amazing thing that happened to this man is accidental

The "Ludwig's youtube comment section" is the absolute worst garbage EVER...
Lud showing respec on hutch is enough and was enough to make a grown man cry.
this video was actually amazing the commentary, the suspense, Ludwig being amazing in general it definitely deserves millions of likes and views
I’m more happy for Hess. Knowing him, he would’ve felt like he let Lud down if they lost
“That’s your streamer. Show some support.” That was really cool :)
Great storytelling! I feel like it ends a bit randomly without showing the reactions when you guys won
“The best chess player on twitch tv” hikaru: 😐 Gotham: 😐
Props to Sir GMHess tho @15:20 for backing up and supporting losewig.
Hess seems like such a good guy, and their chemistry is really good too
their physics and biology is also good
These story/commentary style videos are probably the best kind of content.
19:35, wait that was a sacrifice? looked like an even trade
I unironically would die for egg daddy northernlion in a hivemind episode.
Freaking love Hess. He’s THE guy you want in your corner
Just seeing lud beeing more terrifide by the fundy match than the final game made me smile
18:47 "And I was already down a pawn in the first 10 moves"
Nah fam i'm pretty sure you're up a pawn.

I am the most invested when Ludwig plays chess even though I am terrible at it. I'm always on the edge of my seat praying for a win, and we got this big win with Hess
Omg watching Hess get pumped for him it melts my heart
Sardouche: "We won't need to go to tiebreaker"
Ludwig: " *Your right, I won't* "

Hear me out: Ludwig/NL Hand/Brain game against QT/Andrea.
@@thejerg Lud/NL would have a massive advantage as QT is much worse and Andrea isn't a strong intermediate player who wouldn't be able to find plans good enough that QT can't mess them up.
@@jordanrice1 i think you underestimate how good a 2k rated player is in comparison to nl and ludwig, she can easily beat those 2 vs 1.

@@MrYounis26 Nobody said 2 v 1. As someone stronger than Andrea, I believe I am well aware of the difference between myself and NL. The issue is that QT is much weaker. NL+Lud can play some good chess but overall QT is highly likely to mess it up and Andrea won't know how to play to her strengths and weaknesses.
I had both you and NLs streams up during all 3 of those games, it was some top tier chess content
Damn when Hess was saying all the good stuff about lud and he heard it from his speaker is actually such an anime inspiration moment.
Genuinely a good vid Lud. Loved the whole thing.
I've never seen anyone able to tell a story as well as Ludwig. He can make the most mundane and dull event into the most compelling narrative ever.
I love Hess and Ludwig being homies, so this is the best gift possible.
Insert "call the ambulance...., but not for me" meme.
This was such an epic tournament to watch live, both Hess and Ludwig really deserved the W
Hess is such a nice guy and a good coach, love him
Ludwig's chess rivalry with Sardoche is like playing gen 1 Pokemon and losing all of your rival's battles only to finally beat him in the Champion battle.
To be fair, that was true against NL as well.
You know robert is a true homie the moment he backs ludwig up when someone talks shit about him in the chat.
Big ass W
at 18:30 i love how he added La Espada to intensify it
Hess is a fantastic coach and was the perfect guy for Lud
Ludwig and Northernlion needs to happen!
(But I heard Ludwig promised NL a spot on Mogul Money 👀)
Been watching NL since 2014, It's crazy to finally see him grow at a more exponential rate!
@@foxyloxygames5867 Sad to see the NLSS go, but in a way it was kinda what kept him at a constant same community levels and numbers for years; once he started doing variety and branching out now he's blowing up more.
@@hmm_okok the way i see it, i watch for NL, i could just go play isaac or darkest dungeon, but his personality wouldn’t be there. no matter what he does i’m still going to watch because i enjoy him as a person more than the content he puts out

This is one of my favorite chess videos and reminds me of why I love the game even though I am not particularly good at it.
sick video, love the synergy between you and hess, man. CONGRATS AGAIN!
So to make a long story short u owe Northernlion a spot on hivemind
That second game against lion had no business being that intense and I had no idea what was going on lol
This man just made a chess tournament into a freaking anime arc
Ludwig: Hangs fork with the bishop and rook
Also Ludwig: my opponent was starting to play well
I want ludwig to keep doing random things in life so he always has storytime videos to make.
Such an amazing turn of events! Good win Ludwig!
Hess' motivational speech was a great moment
No better feeling than beating a player who says gg too early
love the chess content. would be hella sick to see more.
As someone who's grown up not only in the melee community but also watching NL's content for years this shit is amazing content for me
really didn't expect you to win, It feels like an impossible anime moment. Congrats
I love how ludwig always gets a great coach when he Accidentally wins something
I love seeing Hess hyped up when lud wins a game
Lud you manage to make chess hype as hell even for someone who has no clue about the strategies. Great video
Wow congratulations Ludwig! I bet its always been a dream to win pog Champs. Ultimate under dog story, epic come backs, and you didn't even need to go into tie break because it was that easy!!! Kick ass video youre a champion 🏆
Hess is a legend. 😂
As much as I like watching Agadmator and Levy, Ludwig is really my fav when it comes to chess, he infuses so much life in his stories.
4:30 this whole rant is about the wrong move. Hikaru said “pawn” hoping for a queenside attack, but xQc played g4 (the mistake). You even see that this is the mistake with the clip you played of Hikaru’s reaction to the move. After you took back with your pawn, it wasn’t up to xQc whether to take back with the rook or the pawn; Hikaru picks the piece, remember?
Cope
Hand and brain is way more difficult than it looks. I (a lowly 1400) played hand in a tourney and the grandmaster I was teamed with gave me all kinds of weird positional moves I had no hope of figuring out. Nothing is more stressful in that situation than some GM being like 'pawn', and you're looking at the board with no idea what he wants while time is ticking down, and an audience staring. Props to all these guys for making it work.
19:00 Ludwig flexes he won a pawn back when he was actually up the pawn :)
28:03 top ten anime comebacks
I really love how this video is very entertaining and informative without even knowing chess
Hess is so underrated. He's a legend!
You just pulled a Ludwin on them, pretty easy to win tournaments accidentally that way
You mean wirtual

Lud: "Best chess player on Twitch"
Hikaru: Am I a joke to you
yes, yes he is
How can Ludwig be the best if he didn't play a single Bongcloud opening?
To be fair magnus streams on twitch
Maskenissen and even Garry Kasparov streams a Lil bit
I mean... technically Ludwig beat Hikaru on this tournament. Just for a day Ludwig overcame him.
Ludwig is the goat at story telling
"you say run" is always the go to to make things more epic
