Hikaru misses every pop culture reference, and Finegold literally speaks only in pop culture references. A match made in heaven
It's funny how the old guy is less out of touch than Hikaru
@@jeltje50 The “old guy” who watches family guy.
@@crispynoodles703 what?
@@jeltje50 Lmao ikr
@@crispynoodles703 family guy is old lol
Finegold: speaks
Hikaru: actually thats true
@Kyle Riel they mend their relationships and is moving forward positively 💙
But the truth hurts ;;(
Levi: speaks
Hikaru: splish splash your opinion is trash
@@hiuisvok8483 Gordonramsay meme.jpg
Lol so true 😂
As someone who loves both Finegold and Nakamura and always felt a little sad that they didn't get along, this is wholesome beyond my words.
Completely agree.
I love ben and hikaru😂 and i didnt care about the issue that happened i guess they are grown gm's playing with horses😂 (just kidding) happy to see both.🍻
Well Hikaru got exposed for being a toxic bully, it's hard for him to get a collab with anyone but Finebroze

This is like seeing Batman and Joker playing chess happily together

Time to ditch the star wars references dude.
@@adamjamesleach5039 I find your lack of faith disturbing
@@txrrtle9387 I understand, people are easily disturbed when it comes to their beloved star wars.
@@adamjamesleach5039 Don't be a negative Nelly. No one likes a negative Nelly.
@@YXalr I'll stand up to the star wars mob all i like :)
Not gonna lie i did not expect that Collab
Glad it happened tho, maybe soon we get a chessbrah collab and they finally end that beef too
I'm very happy to see this :)
I knew this would happen. Came to me right after my fifth straight win against Stockfish.
@@mf1110
wat
Ben: I'm just saying shut up and play chess.
Also ben: yeahhhhiiii I'm doing a collab with hikaru .
Finegold is pure comedy.
I love Finegold’s sense of humor. I’d love to grab a beer with him :)
Watch "Trash Talking Chess Feud: Finegold Vs Williams" if you have not.
The best ever chess trash talk imo. Even Agadmator made a comment on the video.
@@priyabratamallick9230 Hey, the term is "trash talking", like shit talking. Not trying to undermine you, just I can tell from your name that you're not native English so it might be a useful thing for you to learn.
@@DuckyVanya r u American? Because as a brit I hear shit talking a lot more than trash talking
He’s got some funny opinions that’s for sure.
Both deserve the Hikaru sportsmanship award for this.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAA!
It should be a real thing, given to the dirtiest flag of the year or something
hikaru nakamura redemption arc.
but good to see y'all finally made up. I heard y'all were friends back in the day
Finegold was friends with his stepfather and he was Hikaru's second for a while too if I'm not mistaken
second what
@@bruhxyz second of grandmaster means something like trainer or coach, they help them in opening preparations and things
He needs to get one of those tyler1 tees with the word REFORMED
here for it!
With all the controversy these two had this is a good move to settle things
what's the drama?
Hikaru(or at least chessbae his manager) copy striking Eric Hansen
Finegold roasted him so hard after the copystrike thing. Really surprised this collab exists.
@@microwavecoffee Yea the Hikaru they made him out to be would not be so easy to forgive attacks that mean
they used to be friends why would they let something stupid get in the way
Didn't see that coming) But I'm very happy that it's happened😊
Same I thought they hated eachother
@@zoulzopan ben just as many gms dont like hikarus bad sportsmanship
@@nerevarchthn6860 in the past though
@@zoulzopan idk if they do or don’t but out of everyone in the scene, Ben knows Hikaru the best. He’s literally seen Hikaru grow up, he even attended Hikaru’s parents wedding before Hikaru was conceived
@@andresv.8880 still to today if you watch their matches
Just so everyone knows. They’ve known each other personally for decades.
I'm pretty sure many people know. Just feels weird that they are in a collab after the drama
@@mikionorton2236 same
@@mikionorton2236 There was no drama. There is just people like you that like to make “drama” out of everything
Damn I've never seen benjie properly before, he seems so nice
From watching this video we know that QVC is not subbing to either of them
QvC my favourite Twitch streamer
I love CVV
Yo I love x
xqc? pvc? qvc? dvd? lte? 123? abc?
Xyz indeed is a legend
I'm so happy to see Nakamura presenting us with the comedy of Ben Finegold
A comedy of errors.
@@julianfrederick9082 now, that is a good one! is that a burn that I smell?
Same! I was really bummed when Ben missed out on the Pogchamps gravy train, he's got a big personality that I think the Twitch crowd could really get into with a little more familiarity
@Coolhand850 he's pretty funny if you like dad humor, but it's an opinion so....
@@tenkkutn IS the comedy in watching him beg and milk his supporters for money every 3 minutes?
Other than that the only real comedy was watching Hikaru uncomfortably smiling while listening to Ben.
Is he gonna mention the Hikaru Nakamura sportsmanship award xd
@Sisto Mosqueda it's a joke that Mr finegold does a lot. Mocking Mr Nakamura.
I suggest Sascha126 gets it hahaha.
Happy to see Hikaru and Ben friendly with each other again!! It’s good for chess!
I'm so confused. I take a week off twitch and this happens!? Has hell frozen over?
Twice, in fact.
People feeling this like wholesome sometimes feel a bit odd, they know eachother a lot, they can fight and have a chat playing chess, is normal human behaviour, just speaking facts and hanging our, sometimes the internet can be a bit too much bipolar. Get real people, this shit happends everyday
Very few internet drama arcs end in collab videos. I don’t think it’s wrong to be pleasantly surprised with this one.
@@duncanrobertson6472 i was actually trying to get a point into real life, in which it happends a lot
This is great to see. Thank you both for putting ego's aside and attempting to make amends.
So when are Eric and Hikaru doing their make up tutorial? Lol
Personally I'm waiting for their hot tub stream
@@BrokenNoah nah bro im waiting for the MMA chess boxing rematch on apr 30th.
Eric needs to grow up first lol
@@kingunderthemountain8143 they both need to though.
@@kingunderthemountain8143 They both need to.
The Suspencer really made the game suspenseful there
my god, starting at 26:12 is the hardest I've laughed in years. just couldn't breathe for a couple minutes.
Uh oh, checkmark didn't get noticed
@@Youzz1430 LOL
Edit below.
Man i feel bad for Thaddeus1973. Ben went out of his way to say that he was a top supporter/donator of his channel. Then got absolutely demolished by a cheater. His movements were way too precise for a 1500 and for those curious that is what hikaru meant when he told Ben he would "look into it"
Edit: The man i accused of cheating has replied to this comment verifying he was in fact playing fairly. My apologies to him, i hope this helps clear it up for others.
That guy is a 1878 in Bullet with about 800 Matches, not really sure if he Cheated... + ~1800 Blitz Games.
@@alvarTV1991 pretty sure he did, they even black out his name and give the win back to Thaddeus
They say not gonna talk about it on stream, but Hikaru even says "Its pretty clear cut" right as they changed scoreboard.
@@warrensmith481 chesscom verified I didn't cheat, otherwise my acc would be banned
@@otk1262 Were you the player?
I was wondering, sometimes people just play into my best lines and it can look like you are cheating... I sort of wondered if that's what happened to you?
@@binnieb173 yes I played the match. Well, I'm playing the ruy lopez quit often and the opening was common theory, that's why I had these positions so many times.
It's so nice seeing these two interact despite the bad blood between them. Enjoyed this video thoroughly :)
More subs battles please! I really enjoyed it.
I love how hikaru acts like Ben's donations are impressive lol
They are impressive. A 1-2k viewer a stream is an amazing achievement in general and benjie is doing very well and beyond that
Because Ben is showing they are impressive to him
"damn Ben, you really don't get alot of donations, do you?" would have been alot better, yes
I don't think it's an act, I think he's proud he's able to bring those subs to Ben with their collaboration. Being able to help people feels awesome
@@arnav9192 Ben usually gets 3-5k tho,maybe he’s dipped recently tho
Glad to see these two GM's getting along.
Two of the most genuinely opinionated and interesting GMs out there! Thanks guys for doing this crossover!
Hikaru, i just want you to know that even with all the drama and all your history being revealed on youtube and all the beef you have with the chess community, i like your content and i wish you'll continue to be a better person
That’s a very mature thing to say.
what eh fuyck
Shouldn't we all be better person than we are?
I watch chess for chess. Hope everyone involved in the drama is just satisfied now.
@@pjoazure Oh you just wait for it.
so Ben just wanted Naka for himself all along aww
Hikaru never gonna understand ben's sarcasm ever. He can't get to that level lol
Never thought a serial killer watched hikaru
At the end of the day, we're all here for the chess
Sub battles are so fun to watch, love the commentary through the ranks.
Been waiting for this!
Unexpected but I can tell this will be an enjoyable watch
Sub battles should either start or end with the two team leaders playing each other
There is like 2k elo difference.
@@Johnwilliams-th9hq This is really late, but Finegold ist still a GM so 2600ish, so Hikaru is maybe 300 points higher, not 2000
@@harixxt Let's say there's a 400 points difference, that's like 90% chance of hikaru winning, right?
@@ezeposada1276 I'd say on any singular game, Finegold can win of course, even if not suuper likely. But over several games Hikaru would obviously win most of them.
i've been looking forward to this since weeks! And it's even better than I hoped it would be.
5:10 when the checkmate pop up doesn’t appears
Hikaru when playing magnus:
This feels too perfect
OMG a collab I thought would never happen with Ben Finegold always casually roasting Hikaru and Hikaru in turn saying stuff about him. This is new territory.
"and hikaru in turn saying stuff about him" ugh that was so forced. bro literally never says a word about Ben and Ben roasts him every stream😂
WHAAAAAAAT? Ben and Hikaru together?? I thought I will only see them together when they are about to kill each other. MoistCritical must be scratching his balls and wandering .. What the Fuk just happened !!!!!!!!!!
Could you explain? Im out of the loop x)
@@LetsKillCats watch moistcriticals video about chess elitism
@@starboiklem8381 That video is completely irrelevant and also wrong, so much has happened since then
@@eoghain5021 that video was made by a guy who got into chess for a few weeks, what do you expect. He has to make a sequel or just straight up say sorry
@@arkos1179 im kinda surprised that charlie never touched the hikaru chess drama
waiting for hikaru and chessbrah sub battle :P
that would be something
Yeah it would be fun watching brah subs develop all pieces, castle, put rooks in the middle, play h3 and then making random pawn moves the rest of the game.
Maybe after a few months or years when things might be different between them... But there's a good chance it'll happen. They're both big names in the Chess streaming community
The duo we didn’t know we needed
Good to see my two favs actually burying the hatchet and moving on. Two awesome guys
Yay that was really exciting! I loved watching Ben thank subs for an hour straight!!
Very glad both of these two have got past the inflated drama. Love them both and their content glad they came together to do this. They should definitely do this type of content again. Happy they're playful and having an all around good time.
Guess being mocked live on the candidates commentary did wonders for Hikaru's redemption arc😂😂
Where, who?
Yeah which day? And time stamp?
he learned how to care
@@kekwe3088 David Howell during Nepo Vs Grischuk. Just type 'Magnus Carlsen cares, literally' in the UA-cam search bar.
@@srijanmishra9823 oh that one, thought somebody lashed out more
Wow, great to see you guys together again. Clear chemistry, history, and mutual respect between you two. Great to see. You should collab more.
We need way more of this.
I see a lot of comments saying Ben is riding hikaru like he accused hikaru of riding xQc, but I have all the reasons to believe it's team hikaru who reached out... Ben was banned in all hikaru platforms and right now, more than Ben needing a couple hundred more subs, it's hikaru who needs the cleansing of his image..
Indeed
I love this collab. Even if they aren't best friends the fact that they made this content is awesome.
But yes, penguins do have knees! A penguin's leg is composed of a short femur, knee, tibia and fibula. The upper leg bones are not visible as they are covered in feathers giving penguins a very short legged appearance.
You sure?
@@aleksandarnedeljkovic8104 sam o'nella never lied to me before (and apparently never will lol)
Imagine if politicians conducted themselves like this
Made me happy to see this collaboration lol, never expected it
Is this an alternate timeline?!
And then they lived happily ever after...♥️
Haha! what is this, some kind of Cold War chess where you battle by proxy? I love it.
I love the moments of cautious optimism followed by outbursts of shock, desperation, and hilarity.
Hikaru made the best move by collabing with finegold.
Now, Eric hansen vs hikaru nakamura - Sub Battle
Haha I was just thinking the other day that I missed Ben Finegold commentary... And here it is. Nice!
Ben reminds me of a teacher I knew in high school. He was also a chess master, and he loved playing blitz with everyone. He was always cracking jokes. Very fun person to be around.
19:08
Hikaru's face when R Kelly is mentioned lol
Happy to see more friendships and less hate. Keep this up guys♥️
This makes me happy. I hope they'll continue to be casual with each other.. friends even.
That is a crossover I never expected.
I'm not even involved... why do I feel awkward
lol me too
I have never seen Ben dressed this well. I mean, he’s wearing a collared shirt
Thought these guys hated each other, hella glad to see them put down the drama because this worked out really well, man.
This was an awesome stream
It’s beautiful how a mutual love of money can bring people together 🥰.
Lol
This is a very underrated comment. I implore people to give it more likes.
Love seeing Hikaru and Ben squash the beef
Only Hikaru, Ben's a vegetarian
@@peanutbutter8482 INCORRECT!
Ben is a vegan, obviously frankly
I'm just happy to see them playing and communicating again
My man says let me thank some people and then doesn't mute lmao, this was great
I swear to god, Ben sounds exactly like Michael's son Jimmy in GTA 5.
BRUH
Ben makes Hikaru smile while watching bad chess. This is a good thing.
Such a great format with you two.
Good timing, been going through some of Ben's courses recently. For how much of a "villain" he was he's a damn fine chess player.
Hikaru vs _Sack of Sunshine_
Can you and Magnus do a sub battle too?, or maybe just a bullet match?
Magnus doesn't have subs though.
Waiting for hikaru and magnus collab :)
@@leadnitrate2194 does he not?
@@ninehills42 he doesn't allow people to subscribe to his channel on twitch
Honestly think the finegold game is as crazy as it gets.
this is great to see. i wanna see more
This is so fine, it’s golden. Always rooting for the Hika hikaroo 🎶
Seems like that Sascha126 guy was cheating. Playing like that for a 1500 player is impossible. Either his rating is higher than that or he was cheating i guess.
He was disqualified, his name blacked out and the total score changed close to the end of the video.
If you watch the video on Ben's channel you can see the chat, people were saying that his account was deleted immediately.
Account is still up. He had been rated 1700 about a week prior to this match.
@@Nn-3 So he was under rated in that match. That explains why he played such moves.
Ah I was trying to find out what happened. But they said 2 people though? Who’s the other person
This is the balance Anakin was supposed to bring
Hikaru is egoistic, thats how he rolls, that’s what makes him successful.
So good. These guys need a prime time sitcom. Great chemistry.
We love you Ben! To me, it seems like Hikaru is a good guy, he just hung out with the evil ChessBae94. He looks quite likeable and relaxed in this video
Hikaru looks quite uncomfortable actually , but he went through it
I think "evil" is a bit much, but I hate all this "drama" junk anyway
@@aleksandarnedeljkovic8104 I dont think he does. You would be able to tell if he is salty at him, he cant really hide his feelings as you may know.
@@ninehills42 I didn't mean he looks angry or that he's angry. He looks nervous.
@@aleksandarnedeljkovic8104 i dont think hr is nervous because he has hard feelings towards Ben, but because the whole situation is just wierd
what was that at 40:00 lmao
The collaboration no one knew they needed
Was awesome to see two of my favourite chess channels collaborate.
What is this friendly banter? Wheres the trash talk? I want to see these two throwing hands
Hikaru: Yeah Kangaroos are definitely not fastest animals on the planet...*chuckles* that's for sure
Kangaroo: Me go zoom zoom at 70km an hour
Eagles go brrr at almost 300
These sub battles are usually someone is always winning then blunders everything
There’s been a glitch in the matrix. The amount of times I’ve heard these two talk smack about each other I never thought they’d sub battle😳
Though, we'd want to follow the usul formula of making the highest rated people go first, also Sub battle with rosen next
Nah. Sub battle with Hansen definitley
@@BRONZE_OFFICIAL You mau not be realizin the quantity of content that the mere presnece of Eric in a sub batle will be equivalent to
This video makes me unexplaniably happy
So nice to see these two together trying to be polite
That's awsome that they can put drama behind them and focus on their love for the game
