Levy: "Be nice. Don't be toxic. Don't be disgusting." Also Levy: "Oh he's back. Kings gambit! Dude he should've stayed disconnected what the hell is this." I propose we keep toxicity in the openings. For every 200 rating points you have you should be expected to make one decent move. 800s shouldn't be scholar's mated. 3000s shouldn't be opera gamed. I think it's a good estimate.
@@howridiculous5346 it’s not real toxicity, Levy does that to be funny. These people know that they’re going to berated for making bad moves, that’s the joke: two really good chess players dunking on beginners, providing both very good instruction and breakdown that’s heavily supplemented by comedy. It’s okay to laugh at because both sides are consenting to this, they’re students and subs of the people making fun of them. Lower rated chess players do dumb shit, it’s really funny to see two very good chess players ruthlessly nitpick them for it. These people agreed to let thousands of people watch them fuckup
At 26:12 they all missed the beautiful move Nxc2+ winning the queen. Obviously the position is winning regardless but it was a beautiful tactic and a much faster win.
Guys, you should have sold tickets to watch this grudge match. Fantastic!! I learned nothing about chess, but was thoroughly entertained. My favorite moment was at 20:43 when Super GM Hikaru figures out the blunder about 1/2 second before Levi... priceless reactions!!!!!!! Keep them coming you two are great!
This might just be the most beginner friendly channel (but I think "friendly" is not the approproate term). But the result shows that subs on the beginner level is better here.
@@KingAmperios damn this sounds like some woke level meta shit. Below particle sizes of atoms it becomes so chaotic that physics principles start to fail
These sub-battles are hilarious, lots of great "content" - than you guys for being funny and desperate and showing your emotions! I wish I could participate but I am not so involved in the daily action as to subscribe on Twitch, do the Discord thing etc. That's asking a bit too much from the guy with a full-time job and kids and house etc. But thank you! And bring us more sub-battles!
Came to your channel from Anish's channel. Chat that spammed you was stupid, we liked your professionalism. Subscribing your channel. Sorry on behalf of the chat there. Most were commenting good about you most of the time.
at 46:10, should black take knight c3 with rook? and exchange until white's king takes rook f1? I can't tell if the end of this trade exchange, black is winning with white's best move being to trade down bishop take knight f6, though a poor king position for black with white queen take pawn f6, an impotent knight f6 queen f6 attacking position for white to black's queen b6 rook f8/g8 with an open c file for black's rook?
Levy: "You're the real deal, you don't need to focus to win games."
Hikaru: "Yeah."
1 second later
Hikaru: "Oh, I blundered."
You got Anish in a team and the whole battle turned into a draw. Awesome!
LOL UNDERRATED COMMENT
This comment is for legends only.
such an old joke man
Anish is the king of draws
That’s rude
"This man showed up for the sub battle, disconnected for 20 seconds, played the Kings Gambit, and lost 2 pieces by the 7th move." Legendary 😎
"Oh I blundered a pawn, Its going to be a draw."
lol
Endgames be like :
It's funny to compare that with the last games in the video.

i don't think any sort of toxicity is good.
^Shut the f up.. we need more toxicity
@@howridiculous5346 Toxicity is good when it's all in good fun. Real toxicity is certainly not though.

Hikaru says this line is “Incorrect” but it’s the line the engine plays against The kings gambit..
"ok very funny"
The last match was more interesting than watching GMs play
That ending was just ultimate entertainment. Also props to Hikaru's expression of disdain when Levy says 'we love our subs' @1:38:52
Chat : Anish should be a DM - Draw master 😂😂 ( 8:02 )
Sometimes I forget I am on hikarus channel or Levy's channel.
watching people 1000 points higher than me blunder their pieces on a nearly empty board gives me true hope
1:37:42 to 1:38:11 was every type of joy Levy can feel
"No wonder they used to do lobotomies" has got to be my favorite quote from a sub battle EVER. I lost it. xD
26:20 it was the worst game until that 160 60 hung a piece on move 6
At 26:12 they all missed the beautiful move Nxc2+ winning the queen. Obviously the position is winning regardless but it was a beautiful tactic and a much faster win.
im sure im not the only one who came here just to see if Anish is as good at drawing online as OTB
Wanna draw a losing position? wanna draw a winning position? Whichever the case, Anish is the guy for the job!
20:43 That laugh made me laugh so ahrd with Hikaru :DDD
You guys should have invited him into the stream
It will be today
The last game alone was worth the entire watch.
That lead up to the 700s. That is the most on brand for "Bronze" rank that I've ever seen.
1:02:52 to 1:03:55 is the best minute of content in the entire video
The thumbnail is a straight 10/10
The fact that he was watching david blaine opening a parachute and dueling Anish is just mind blowing

At 26:07 after Ke1 Nc2 would have been a sick move
1:03:48 the mixed emotions and pain on his face XD
The Overwatch reference after over 90 minutes of chess lingo broke my brain
I DEMAND TO SEE THE EVAL BAR OF THAT LAST GAME!!!!
Hey Levy please make a video on how to demolish the London System from your perspective.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Hearts for levy.
- from Vidit audience.
The last like 2 matches just got way too entertaining!!
to be honest, those low rank games are pure gold!
Levy uploads the full sub-battle while Hikaru only uploads the 1st 40min!
KJY that’s why I’m here! Starting this vid where Hikaru left off
@@orchidquack same
@@NavidSensei please don't watch the end----------its embarrassing for me. backranked with 5 sec left
@@andrewwillman3124 too late man. but it happens to all of us. it's alright. :D
@@andrewwillman3124 do you still play chess?
1:33:15 chat: and as of move two we have a completely new game 😂🤣
1:03:48 *-I'm experiencing third-hand depression rn-*
How did the first player drew against hikaru he must have a really good seling.
Anish's face like "dafuq am I doing here?"
Nobody:
Hikaru: "True, True."
Yaaah yaaahh true
These are the best videos on UA-cam. Love it.
1:37:45 What was the tactic available?
Qd2 was mate and he missed it four times
@@JoeSORL He played Qd2... but nvm, I just saw that Qg2 is mate
G2 was the one I meant, my bad 😂
Me after somehow managing to lose up 15 : 55:26
1:38:00 Dide literally invented the Botez Counter gambit
It's White to move...
White King on e4
Black King on e6
White Pawns on c7 d6 f6 and g7.
Is there a Checkmate in 3?
In Brazil Sérgio is pronounced with "g" sound, not like serhill
Watching the bottom of the bracket I learned I am way Underrated and need to play a lot more games..
The best chess serie ever made
I’ve watched a couple of these sub battles and the stunned silence after the lowest rated players play always makes me laugh
That last game was incredible.
It's so crazy to me that the game with 2 1000 rated players was that bad. Dude botez gambited 5 moves in a row and the other guy didn't even notice
This might just be the most beginner friendly channel (but I think "friendly" is not the approproate term).
But the result shows that subs on the beginner level is better here.
you guys kill me.. with your banter when your teams compete.. too funny!!!! :DDD
Didn't realize Anish was subbed to Levy. I guess he's a fan of sub battles too.
00:20:42 can anyone pls make a MEME out of this ?! XD
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your laughs.
That 700 game was insane!
The ending to this was amazing.
Please keep doing these videos... amazing content
How does this not have many views sub battles are so great
Entire dialogue: "There is a very good move for [player]" * player moves * "...That was not it..."
And first I thought poor Levy but at end WOW!
WHERE IS GIRI ?????
The fun begins when you hit u1100.
Under 1100 it's so chaotic that principles of chess start to fail
@@KingAmperios damn this sounds like some woke level meta shit. Below particle sizes of atoms it becomes so chaotic that physics principles start to fail
1:19:17 the tension is so high.
Oh Anish drew
What a surprise
These sub battles are the best!
Maybe have 2 players from a drawn game rematch for the tiebreaker. So we always have a winner
Both are so funny, thx to entertain me guys!! Awesome videos 😝😝
56;47 best moment

That last game made me wanna die...
1:00:00 I wonder if the madrinas cofee people saw this and contacted him because of this
- I’ve got a hundred
- Why didn’t you get extra credit
- Okay ... I’ll look into that next time
The story of my life
LMFAO
Yeah. Yeahyeahyeah. Yeah yeah. Yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah. So yeah...

24:40 correct me if im wrong, but doesnt bishop b4 win for black? because if takes knight takes c2?
If bishop b4 then you won't take it with queen, just push pawn to c3 and black loses either Bishop or knight and is probably winning for white.
@@bhaumikshah5442 ah yes I forgot the pawn move, thanks
Before 39:49 couldn’t whit have gone queen a 3 then f 8 but black would probably have noticed it before that could become mate
at 46:10, should black take knight c3 with rook? and exchange until white's king takes rook f1? I can't tell if the end of this trade exchange, black is winning with white's best move being to trade down bishop take knight f6, though a poor king position for black with white queen take pawn f6, an impotent knight f6 queen f6 attacking position for white to black's queen b6 rook f8/g8 with an open c file for black's rook?
The Superbad thumbnail killed me.
The last game is the best moment !!!
I am not an expert in chess but G2 Queen is Check mate at 1:38:06 right? Queen is covered by bishop
Yeah. There was mate in 1 for like 47 moves in a row. Hence the screaming
Can you make a guide on Berlin defense ?
in pogchamps when 700 bluders: oh he is so nervous, but amazing play, def underated! subbattles: they are playing horribly, like....
Watching them talk about XqC from the future knowing he gets Fools Mated
20:41 OMG 1:05:49 1:19:22 1:32:38 1:37:45 SO BAD
I like how Anish secretly gave himself minor time odds in black
It was all a ruse sir
Who knew the dev team would play such nonsense tricks
was hikaru high here the laughter
-36:00 that’s honestly pathetic that a 1200 couldn’t figure out that endgame with that much time
big fan from Syria ❤❤
all the love
I quickly skipped to the 700 match
Hikaru so critical of his bro.
1:37:43 the typical 700 rated game
Love from team Vidit ❤️
The speechlessness at the end lmao
I wonder how many times hikaru said 'yah'
my native sinocchi is got nice pfp so proud
Levi is secretly a big fan of Hikaru.. hunch
Only legends know where the original thumbnail is from
Please play together more :(
Incredible thumbnail
I'm the type of chess fan that would need the evaluation bar even if a player is 3 officers under. >
This is my favorite sub battle😂😂😂
