*Hafu just vibing*
Commentary: Truly 5D moves.
lol
Not even vibing, almost panicking over every move "I think I'm throwing"
@@kaltakus you would have been ‘overthinking’ too this tournament is huge
@@ikewood6372 pog champs is like... The bottom of the barrel of skill in chess tournaments... Most of the people who play chess regularly could beat the contestants. Like probably not even a high rated player
@@lordviciouz9797 difference being that these are brand new players with millions of people watching and high expectations are placed on them. And there’s a cash prize... that’s enough to make anyone in these comments sweat.
"she's skipping his turn, that's a new level of disrespect"
She just knew any move from white was still losing 😂

@@timofeinahimov5647 I don't understand how she skip his turn lol

I see that a lot of people are thinking that the commentators are over complimenting Hafu, but here is the thing, until one month ago she only knew the pieces movements. It is very rare to see someone improve so fast.
Her moves are incredible because she should not be seeing those tactics being a begginer in the game. Not that the moves per si are that difficult for any experienced player.
her dedication is just off the roof
and plus points for her personality ofc
She has just been playing 8h/day for 30days + straight. What did you expect? Combine that with IM/GM tutoring and oh well.
@@jacknapier3531 You would expect similar improvement, but you wouldn't expect this dedication from most people. Hafu has found a lot of success in many games due to her dedication, so I do think that praise is warranted.
@@pokemonrampagemake Agreed my dude. Her dedication is off the roof.
I know Hafu from Among Us and clicked on this out of curiosity. Her status as one of the scariest impostors makes sense now.
true, it seems that hearthstone players like toast and hafu excel in mind games like among us. and the fact that she is 1200 after only a month of playing chess is surprising
@@trevorjamesconsideracion1982 Hafu was one of the highest ranked hearthstone arena players, and one of the highest ranked tft players, and one of the highest ranked world of warcraft arena players back in the day. She just masters every game she plays seriously.
@Mr Glass she was a god at wow arena
@Mr Glass world of Warcraft, the game hearthstone is based on
actually got to know her better from his boyfriend's videos, dogdog is also a big brain hearthstone player and big memer, kinda funny how she acts around him, shes really dominant once she knows her stuff, quick on the thinking, trolling her friends a bit but respectful all the time. btw she brought toast into tft.
Great move by Daniel, infiltrating the PogChamps arena, collecting some intel to get his pupil Charlie an advantage when he makes his epic return to the battle grounds. Good one
Classic Kabuto Yakushi maneuver.
Why would Danya go collect info for his teacher Charlie, the fuck type of role reversal is this
@@dash2240 Keisei gyakuten.
@@dash2240 Charlie was too tired because he kept winning too much and didn't have time to teach Daniel, so Daniel was doing him a favor by teaching himself so Charlie didn't have to. Simple

The fact that chess is cool now is awesome. When I was playing, it was just the me and the loneliest nerds.

I think it might have a bit to do with the release of The Queen's Gambit on Netflix, it seems to have brought a lot of newfound interest to chess.
@@thotfortwice @Thot for Twice I don't watch Netflix, so what got me interested in chess again was Charlie's throbbing victory over xqc. Still, I heard that the show is good, along with other several positive reviews, so I might consider watching it some time.
@@risu.1 I don't watch TV at all except for sports and I ended up watching the Queen's Gambit. Very good show.
@@thotfortwice The Queen's Gambit definitely helped, but Chess was getting really big with the Pandemic. A lot of streamers started picking it up, and celebrities too. Then TQG came out and cemented that chess could be entertaining.
hafu is the godliest gamer i know. i don't know of a single competitive game where she does not rise to the top within weeks of starting. started as a wow pro, then hearthstone, league, tft, runeterra, among us, and chess.
there are people better than her at a specific game, but i've never seen someone be so good at so many games so quickly. she's really just that hardworking with a great growth mindset
Let's be honest, it's not just hard work (although that's a factor). If you can master so many strategy games so quickly, it has something to do with intrinsic intelligence. Look at the Polgar sisters -- they all had exactly the same training regiment in chess and only one of them became an international star.
@@otherwords1375 She just loves to play, it became natural for her.
@@otherwords1375 Yeah. Its about talent as well. She must have a massive IQ.
@@otherwords1375 Rather than intrinsic intelligence, it's more accurate to say personalities and latent interest. The Polgar sisters are all extremely good at chess, but one is better than the others. Your training can be the same, sure. But if you have more interest, you'll focus more and spend more of your free time on it. Intrinsic intelligence makes it sound like it's a genetic thing. It really isn't at all. Growth mindset yo :p
@@otherwords1375 the Polgars are proof that talent isnt as important.
Pretty wild to see so many petty comments trying to minimize hafus victory.
They're just salty long term players that are jealous of her fast improvement.
Yeah it sucks haha she's a beast and I've played years and she's almost as good as me rip
@@billowen3285 she is just unnaturally good at skill games. She was a top player in wow arena, hearthstone, and tft.
Hafu is incredibly intelligent that's for damn sure. But don't overestimate her accomplishments in this tournament. She's playing against terrible players
@@FizzyCape and best impostor in amongus
That's a wild generalization
Hafu slowly leaning more over and her legs just getting higher in frame is so funny and cute
L vibes
weirdo
@@atcupmusic ? Strange replies all round but 200 likes kinda outshines 3 negative so whatever
@@IcarusComet L theme plays, hafu gets automatic win
yikes. weirdo.
Daniel’s Kasparov is pretty good.
Honestly there were 4 commentators today
@Eni Gjinaj During the first few minutes, Daniel imitated Kasparov's voice.
Around the 10-minute mark, too.
Its more than Good its damn near spot on LOL. The "You know"s really put the nail in the coffin
It's perfect.
Never heard of him c:
Hafu is just one of those people who can pick up something and be great at it. Reminds me a lot of Reckful r.i.p. She was always one of the most impressive hearthstone players to me.
Rip Reckful.
She works hard, plus she's played a rediculous amount of hearthstone so a lot of experience in considering value trades and lines.
@@Dream146 and tempo /initiative. it's a very natural transition between hearthstone and chess, I expect.
I want her to pick mma next.
@@Dream146 and she's fucking smart, smarter than probably 90% of us
i like how everyone's in their room but fintan's just in the void
Daniel's impression is pretty solid LOL I also like how Levy was saying Hafu can't lose when she's up two pawns, reminds me of that video where Kasparov is going over memorable games and he's looking at his game with Anand and he says he's "two pawns up, let me emphasize, TWO pawns"
Levy, at 4:46 - "Hey, you're disrespecting my student!"
Levy, at 10:35 - "The *only* thing that could happen here is if Hafu disconnects. She's just playing lights out chess."
That's game recognizing game right there, folks.
(Nothing but love, Levy...I just had to point it out.)
All I know is how the pieces move individually. I have no idea how to really play chess so why do I get hooked to chess videos??
Even when you don't know how to play you can still recognize the skill involved in great plays.
@@xyex how?
Its hafu🤷
Not hooked you say? Go watch queens Gambit on Netflix that'd get you hooked hahah
I had a friend who was in some local tournaments, I beat him after a few games, learned his tricks. I had some embarrassing losses, but he showed me how to attack from coverage as it seems like a random move and it's only chess after you move your other piece, so basically you get a free move. before that, I was just reacting to moves and seemed mostly random. I still feel it's a bit random to me, and I would be bored memorizing stuff, but now that I watched a few videos I'm sure I would beat some of the people who I played with before.
6:23 Look at Hafu HAHA
laawwlll duuuud
I wish I could be that focused on a chess game. Maybe I'd finally improve from my last plateau
That's the level of focus where if you see it you should promptly begin to shit yourself
i do that all the time LMAO
This happened to hiksru once, i probably have the video on my "watch later list" as i thought it was kinda funny
Hafu: am I throwing
pros: best move
me: **audience retention**
8:59 She's skipping his turn that's a new level of disrespect OMG
Please enlighten me bro. I dont know anything about chess
@@zanavi the rules of chess is cornering the king checkmate and every piece has a certain way they move learn how to use the pieces and protect your king
It’s kinda funny that they agreed the opening and all the commentators were like ... What
this thumbnail is gold
True
Well It definitely got me to click
Prophet
apart from misspelling "possessed"
Looks like King Crimson from JoJo lol😛🤣
She is so smart its scarry
screw Charlie and xQc, this is the true chess grandmaster.
@@trevorjamesconsideracion1982 Charlie and xQc is a really funny game, but Hafu is just better. Although she doesn’t have the mind of a GM, she clearly has the potential to be.
@@smortboi1320 hopefully not shes only got into chess like month ago lol. Very skillful and dedicated though.
@@themadclown4077 more than a month ago, but yeah, I get what you mean.
@Hafu is exactly what PogChamps needs - a real freaking Champ.
She is very good indeed - she has put in a lot of work and study for this. I also think Dogdog played the best two games of the event the day before Hafu. They are both going to be hard to beat.
@@l00d3r yep her vs QT is a contrast of studying vs whining
Damn these simps everywhere lmao. No wonder she is overhyped.
@J E Yikes dude
@J E haha funny joke my dude
I have only ever played chess twice. I don't know why this is here, but i'll watch and nod like i know what's going on.
Sams
That last knight move was class.
My respect for hafu is over the top of the roof now. Omg. Literally I'm shocked on how she's really that smart, now I understand why she's so good at other games *cof* among us
I have no idea what going on 🤣🤣🤣 I’m just listening to the praises for Hafu
me not knowing anything:
interesting interesting i see i see
Her and dog have actually been working so hard at this
I've watched hafu since the early hearthstone days, and to see her come this far in chess so soon is not surprising to me. She's incredibly smart
Wouldn't expect anything less from a hearthstone player
Hikaru: what's the best move chat?
15:25 love to see Andrea growing as a commentator - keep it up guys. This game particularly will help a lot of the chess community appreciate pogchamps - great game and fairly reasonable play from both players
Aces just made a mistake in the late opening and missed a tactic to lose the bishop. Hafu played amazing. I think missed an absolutely crushing move near the end with b5! after Kb1. Queen has to go to c1 to get traded off or else the rook falls. Either way, well played.
If you compare Andrea here to, say, the "Legend of the Hot Gold Pants" video (on BotezLive), I think you can see how much she's matured in just the past year.
I feel like she was pretty disrespectful to be quite honest. Seems like she was excessively one sided and didn't seem to care what the other commentators said unless it was in favor of hafu.
Wagamama vs Hafu would be the ultimate game of the tournament
Goku vs Jiren but in chess. xD
@@AngeloGene xqc is vegeta🤭
@@AngeloGene We already got an incredible 7-match Hikaru vs Magnus series this year, I'm pretty sure Wagamama vs Hafu is closer to Hercule vs Videl. Two ordinary, very strong humans.
Waga made a lot more blunders
Wagamanga
The Kasparov impresion is awesome jaja
time?
@@GOLEM-yf4mx about 2.40
such an awesome, positive and encouraging vibe here. 110% wholesome
As a North Carolinian, I've never heard the expression "Oh my Lands"
Being from NC, I think I heard my grandma say it once maybe.
This is from memory so I could be wrong.
That's Danya, he might be saying total nonsense
Wagamama vs Hafu would be the ultimate game of the tournament
That Kasparov impression was spot on... even the stutters!
Btw hafu is moving pretty much everything the host are saying and I can tell they are very impressed
acttually she did not play that well white just allowed very obvious moves
@@HexxuSz Clean chess with simple winning moves can also be beautiful chess. If I make a blunder against my opponent, I may be playing badly, but it's still on my opponent to recognize the chance and take it. And Hafu did. Congratulations to Hafu, the winner of this match.
@@HexxuSz i'm sure you know a lot more than the GM and IM commentators
@@litapd311 i am sure u know so little than u have no idea what you just watched, those people hype the games up and the moves these are normal moves literally everyone sees. i have been sports candidate so i know fuck i am talking about
@@HexxuSz what is a sports candidate?
I've always been impressed with Hafu back in her hearthstone days, I'm glad to see she's still kicking ass even in chess.
im here for the girl who made MoistCr1tikal And PewDiePie looks like impostor
The Nd2 move at the end was the cherry on top
though I am new to Chess, but still surprised to see Hafu here. I thought she was a hearthstone player.
She is, this tournament is for streamers who normally play other stuff but got into chess recently
She's a world class Among Us player.
I mean shes really into amoung us for several months now
I love chess and I love hafu, good job recommendation page, you did well
I really liked their cooperative pre-game prep and agreements: no tricks and help each other despite them being opponents (on the board). Cudos to both players! I'm very impressed by Hafu.
Me: agreeing with the commentators.
Also me when I don't know a single thing about chess: *visible confusions*
I lived in North Carolina Charlotte for 18 years and have never said oh my Lance
Well, it's "lands" but yeah.
Lands. And noone cares
@@morgiewthelord8648 stfu
Strategy was always too bothersome for me. Whenever I played chess I'd just play on impulse...
Am I bad at playing chess? Yes.
But I'm just too lazy to think ahead😅
truly a blitz player
Just keep practicing. You're bound to get better in no time. 😉
but sameee bro. i move on instinct
Love chess but god i hate thinking sometimes lol
I always move without long thinking since It could change my mind after thinking more about other Move, also I'm using Feeling and if I won then people would think I don't need to think or whatever but, I just think when You play many time then why thinking of a move that has happen a lot and only think if Its a new move from History of You playing... ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯
5:08 gosh you just threw the game right there
Damn that Kasparov impression was amazing lol
I just watched a vid from Hikaru where he was reading and discussing an article that essentially called pogchamps a disgrace to chess where the players were just being laughed at by the commentators. Clearly, the author never watched this or most of the other episodes. This just inspires me. I want to see Hafu improve. I want to see Fintan improve. I just love it. I enjoy watching the SGMs play but I LOVE watching this because I have walked in their footsteps. I am, we all are POGCHAMPS.
You're right, the commentators make me hope for a day I never have to hear gothamchess' voice again.
Hafu is one of the best players I’ve seen period. She just masters every game she lays eyes on
I've come a long way my...with a big trophy push in summer from 1000 to 1445 and I'm happy to say I no longer blunder pawn and take advantage of positional weaknesses...
She has a plan
Hafu:i think im throwing
That Kasparov impression is 🔥🔥🔥
I love this combination of commentators.
Definitely rooting for Hafu
YOOO I'm from NC and never heard Oh My Lans lmaooo
Me too, we don't actually say that.
i've heard people say "oh mylanta" so i guess it comes from that, but it is pretty deep KKona shit
oh my lands no?
I've lived in the Greensboro area my whole life, I've been to Charlotte, Raleigh, Outerbanks, mountains, all over; I've never heard 'oh my lans'.
This dude forsure misheard "oh my lanta" lmfao
Agreeing on exact openings was kind of a bummer to hear. But I understand. I would say yes to that as well if i was playing.
coulda just answered the tourney format question there at the end..
He deflected that hard
It's more to do with broadcasting inexperience . He would have been wary of the time
I thoroughly enjoyed this
I live in mc and never heard “oh my lands”
Damn she played an amazing game
Damn they got Watto to commentate on this game. Incredible
Daniel, I got your Kasparov impression right away haha
first time hearing or watching hafu..think im in love
Me: Plays an opening trap
Stockfish: He's playing beyond his rating
Go baby go!
More impressions!
That was a beautiful match
i don't say it but "oh my lans" comes from "oh mylanta" which comes from the heartburn medication called mylanta
it's some strong KKona type stuff trust me
I think at 16:00 if hafu had gone and went g5|b5 that would have been better, skewering the rook behind, forcing a trade where black still has advantage, and opening the rook's file if they do go for the trade
From marinating people in among us to destroying people in chess. Hafu is for sure big brain.
No clue Daniel lived in Charlotte that’s cool as hell
That fork was classy af
1:57 “I am not Erik Rosen” XD
i am no expert at chess and i am learning by watching these kinds of videos
Hafu is just so talented but she's very low-key tho she's so great on chess and she learns everything so fast
she is 1200 :D jesus christ simp.
@@hpy2101 im not a simp im just impressed
@@hpy2101 after only 1 month of playing

She's smart and you're not, and you're salty af
In the beginning could hacu have put knight B4 then the same knight to C2 putting the king in check and taking his queen??? Would that work?
I wonder what easywithaces would do against pawn from b7 to b5 at 18:48 because there isn't any really good options for his queen and after moving the queen black will either have the option to force a trade of queens or can attack the queen with the knight opening up the d file for the rook at the same time. At the very least Hafu would get a free pawn on f4 I'm pretty sure.
It's scary how hafu is really good with mind games
Can someone tell me why e3 is a slip? I don’t play chess
The only thing I took away from the thumbnail and title is flower power?🌹💀
This was a pretty game. Quite a conversation between the players with their pieces.

She's such a genius.
is that hafu from wow?

I wouldn’t say hafu is 1500-1700 just yet based on some her calculation, but she is definitely stronger than 1200 maybe 1320ish.
Hafu is probably 1250
In any tactical game, Hafu is the terminator, so scary, so good lmao
Both @itshafu and @easywithaces were coached by IM Anna Rudolf.
Wonder if you consider GM Daniil Dubov as a Daniel.
It’s “oh my lanta”
He should have gone c1 at the end there
i know hafu from among us and i got curious so i clicked and so far i have no idea what the fuck is happening but i think she’s making pochamp plays cause they all seem surprised
