How do I deal with an unsportsmanlike player at chess club? There's a very unsportsmanlike player at our club who constantly taunts and belittles everyone else. Whenever you make a mistake he yells out "blunder!" or "inaccuracy!" … "better move was..." and then says the engine move or what he thinks the engine move is. He also says what he thinks the engine +- is. He plays the kings gambit as much as he can and knows like 30 moves deep into every variation. If you respond something other than e5 to 1.e4 he just laughs and calls you a patzer. He's also OBSESSED with Hikaru Nakamura. He talks about him all the time and shows everyone a picture of him with Hikaru (Its really blurry so its hard to tell if its even him). He's constantly talking about him as if he's a close friend even though he only (maybe?) met him one time. Its bordering on creepy and makes everyone uncomfortable. He calls him "Hikaru-San" which I think is part of his obsession with Japanese culture. He also brings japanese noodles/Ramen to the club every day and will spend like 5-10 minute eating them during his turn just to taunt you. Meanwhile he will be mumbling words in japanese. We tried approaching about his conduct but he just did some weird anime villain laugh, yelled something in Japanese, then ran off to challenge another person to a blitz match. We obviously don't want to tell him not to come but it feels like his presence is deterring new people from joining and its also extremely exhausting.
It sounds like there is no merit to keeping him in the club. From your information it seems like he has a negative influence on the club members and potential club members. If I were you I would immediately kick him out. That said, are you sure you explicitly sat down and talked to him about his actions? Something like "You behaviours (specifics specifics specifics) are making club members very uncomfortable. If you keep doing this you will be kicked out of the club." Make sure he hears it loud and clear, if he tries to run off, stop him and make him listen.
That was super bowl edge of the seat commentary, well done son. I'm understanding the world of chess so much more than recreational fun stuff. Its a head game that is played in the future until the pieces are moved. Wow, so much respect for you players. I am working towards more understanding of the game which i feel will give me more appreciation of it as well. Then i can learn.
"Who wants to be a Canadian?" Me, Canadian; *goes to comments* Levy: "Just kidding Canadians are awesome" Me: oh. Thank you. Well, I'm still going to comment about it.
I was busy blazing in anticipation of the game and when I looked again it took me a while to register what I was watching, but I already had finished smoking and too lazy to think at the time, so I just sat and watched.
In my opinion, I think Ding Liren is currently the second-best player right now. I also think he's underrated as well compared to the other top players. I would love to see a series match between these two in classical though I don't think that will happen anytime.
@@colegieseking5136 Nah, Ding take the cake for second best player in classical no cap. He always play for the win in all time format either with black or white. Alireza needs to prove himself by playing with top dogs in classical instead of 2700s.
You've got to hope that by some miracle Ding can get Karjakin's spot in the candidates. I have no clue how it would even be possible, but I think he is one of the only people who would make for an even better WCC than Caruana in London. Hope the man gets a chance.
Anyone who doesn't watch this guy on his twitch is missing out. I watched my first one today and the crap he talks is just hilarious. Growing up where I grew up, I appreciate the level of smart aleck comments he makes. If you think he is funny on UA-cam, watch him on twitch
Waking up to a Gothamchess video in the morning is like waking up with your wife next to you in bed, not that I would know how that feels like but I imagined it'd be similar P. S. Levy sounds funny during his allergies
Ding had the worse time situation in China. And he also made some small mistakes that lead to a pity position, while Magnus somehow learnt a bit about engine's insane accuracy
Levy, can you make a video about how to beat players that only defend everything and play super passive? I got such an opponent and i got really mad when he had 5 mins advantage in rapid and then i blundered a piece and resigned. I'm 1050 btw
realized Qb4 was losing before levy even mentioned it, because of Knight takes on A5, removing the defender of the queen, if pawn takes back on A5, Rb3 wins the black queen. big brain. reason why Kna5 works is because its check, and even if he takes it with his queen, Pawn B4 traps the queen.
Try playing Daily Chess where you get 24 hours for each move. This game can go on for days but it can force you to think deep for each move. This format is excellent for improving one's analytical skills.
Hi Levy, i watch your reviews, they are very helpfull to see the games and try to undestand a litlle more every time. could you not go so fast in the openings? I am 1350 rapid and i still need to go over the openings slowly trying to undestand each one, and when go so fast i can´t follow. thank you for all the content that you provide!! and for the funny commnets in betwen :-)
Hey levy, you should look into Zyrtec-D (make sure it’s D, not normal Zyrtec) for allergy medicine. It was life-changing for me, solved all my allergy symptoms.
The French used their middle finger to pull their bows in battle. When they hit someone they would show their pierced target their middle finger and say the French version of “Gotcha!”
I'm now more certain that Magnus is a madman. Really madman. Who is there to defend this guy. When we think this guy is unbeatable he makes blunders nobody can explain. But when it seems this guy has no way to win then he does it. Or is it his way of maintaining interest in chess. After all what hasn't he.
16:33 Ding Liren hardcore for sacrificing his queen in that game like he didn't need it. 💔 💔 That was just savage. I see you Mr Liren 👀. Sacing a queen for a for a knight that's just being flashy.
just enjoy the moment, because when Magnus is gone you will long for the days when he had this streak, in the same way people reminisce about the eras of legends past

Spoilers!
Ding got Dong'd by Carlos Magnosen.
He beat him before so that is why he said that. Now just waiting for the reddickers and 9 year olds to r/whoosh me
In faster time formats, magnus > ding. In classical, magnus = ding.
The energy levy put in this recap was absolutey amazing, pure genius, loved it. Thanks levy 🙏
I love how chess has slowly relaxed from elitism to people such as levy and magnus and now we have the strongest analysis and players ever in history
I am of the view Magnus is the greatest advert for chess ever, definitely better than Kasparov.
@@The_Angry_BeEconomist And Hikaru Nakamura with his presence on twitch. And then came just the tidal wave of chess interest. But Magnus definitely ignited chess interest in Norway.
@@Gobbas5972 it was mostly queens gambit.
Strongest analysis has nothing to do with less elitism
Chess on the high level is like "What? You make a move that give you 0,1 disadvantage? You're going to be mated in 57 moves."
oh, you started with black? mate in 103 moves, idiot.

Give him a warning and then kick him out if he keeps it up
Is this a copypasta or legitimately a question?
This is just an hilarious image

He takes after his idol I see
Honestly...i would pay good money to see hikaru vs magnus for 5 rounds of boxing.
It wouldn't last 5 rounds :) Magnus is stronger in every way, + Hikaru would need a chair to reach him.
Hikaru already lost one round to Eric, so I doubt he will survive for much longer against Magnus
@@Kay-jg6tf Dude settle down, Magnus has plenty of hookups already you don't need to suck him off so hard.
Boxing like eating all those noodles sold in square boxes?

204th day of translating Levy's titles into Neapolitan: "Magnus contr Ding Liren: battaglij epic"
In my opinion, I think Ding Liren is currently the second-best player right now. I also think he's underrated as well compared to the other top players. I would love to see a series match between these two in classical though I don't think that will happen anytime.
I disagree with this. I think Ding is high rated because he plays consistently and doesn’t take many risks. I think it has to be Alireza.
@@colegieseking5136 Nah, Ding take the cake for second best player in classical no cap. He always play for the win in all time format either with black or white. Alireza needs to prove himself by playing with top dogs in classical instead of 2700s.
I personal think that Nepo takes this place. This man is very powerful, but indeed has a drawback that he sometimes blunders at critical moment.
@@ChaosSower99 I forgot about Nepo. Either way he's definitely top 3 if you ask me.
@@coldspine3697 he isn't "currently" the top player, unless he gains his form back
You've got to hope that by some miracle Ding can get Karjakin's spot in the candidates. I have no clue how it would even be possible, but I think he is one of the only people who would make for an even better WCC than Caruana in London. Hope the man gets a chance.
You should get both Magnus and Hikaru on your stream and have them play some other strategy games like Battleship or Poker.
