That would be funny to watch, but I think Botez was on there, and she beat up a few of the guys, if hikaru went, it would be very accurate, very short games lol he’d roll them all xD
Chess is truly incredible. As a classical and 10 only player whos about 1000, you can see that knight queen pin immediately but 2 way higher players both blundered the same sequence in blitz like crazy 4:00
23:17 is the reason why Hikaru is such a gift to the chess community. Levi has an pompous and pretentious reaction to the move and forgets to factor in that the majority of these people haven't dedicated their lives to the game. Chess is such an intimidating game to get into in the first place because of the condescending nature of people that are good at the game. Hikaru simply replies with "It's chess." His reaction and how he treats others who play the game warms my heart.

As someone who lost 80 pounds on keto I can definitely say that everyone is different and not every diet works for everyone. But it sure did wonders for me.
13:48 isn't the better move bishop takes pawn with check forcing the rook to take then queen takes knight pinning the rook to the king?I may be wrong cus I'm only in the 1000s but idk seems legit
@@seoup6889 keep in mind its 3 | 0, I would just go for the easier moves and Qxc5 is pretty easy to spot + puts black in winning position. But I see the theory you're talking about. I'm rated ~700 elo btw.

56:04 Im very surprised the chess players dont like baseball more. Its the only super big physical sport thats so statistically and strategically complex. It seems like its the closest thing to chess compared to like martial arts or soccer or something 57:56 Edit: fun fact I could homer at that park with a wood bat. Ive hit balls well over the 310 mark. I couldn't homer even at coors (my hometown team, and yes I mean I hit that far at sea level not here), its like 350 ft with high walls at the corners. I really dislike the gimmick of their porch. We tried EVERYTHING to limit offense. Its the furthest average wall to plate distance specifically to account for balls flying better, and the high wall in RF especially helps even more. To deliberately help hitters get cheap shots, especially specific lefty hitters your team historically has always had, thats a huge pet peeve of mine.

In a world where they are all big streamers? But even that wasn't the case, you can actually befriend people who don't match your chess rating.

He pinned his bishop to his queen. If you take the knight, you can't save the bishop without losing the queen.

Annoying Orange and epic rap battles were so good in their prime
what was the missed white move at 20:17? the engine shot up saying whit had an advantage
White can just take the knight and then take the bishop afterward with the pawn since it is pinned to the queen
Olives, you love em or hate em.
There is no in between.
