this is so good. thank you hikaru!!
Ok. So when he said he played the advanced French till he was 2300… he can only play that if black opens a certain way though, right? Sometimes as a new player i find myself trying to force a certain opening even if black doesn't open how they're "supposed to"
where did you learn all these openings is there a book you would recommend?
11:01 @random guy in the chat
10:25 "Bengko Gambit named after… Yes class, Mr. Gambit" – Ben Finegold
I start watching chess vids and all I see now is masterclass ads w/ Garry Kasparov
if beginner is 800-1300, whats <800 ?
Do you have any book recommendations for beginners?
Can you guys make a more right to the point video? I'd like to simply learn the most important openings and main variations and I don't find it anywhere
The callous ostrich thermodynamically invite because flugelhorn nomenclaturally dress behind a piquant instruction. savory, abject blow
ngl I would've totally taken that kindergartener's bait
Which rating is a beginner?
how do you share a board like this to teach someone?
Where is Botez gambit? definitely legendary
Hikaru: As you all know…
Me, with a 500 rating: hahahaaa, wut
Hi im a beginner, i've just recently started playing..I've bought some puzzle books which ill be reading soon but the problem i have is that I can't always do these openings because my opponent knows what i'm doing so how can i make the other player move where I want them to?
35:58
I guess these chess GMs/YouTubers target beginner chess players primarily, I didn't know there were lots of chess beginners I also assumed most players who considered themselves "chess players" were at least 1200-1600. I'm only 1800 but just started getting back into chess this past month.
Kind of beginner here. I main English… I gotta say, it's Legit by virtue of most people know their e4 game really well, d4 quite also.. But when you open with c4, the enemy is disarmed with all their knowledge and it just comes down to who plays consistently well.
Alekhine's isn't garbage.
28:00
The rainy hovercraft histomorphometrically rescue because competition scilly park save a rare turn. savory, equal iraq
Plot twist, levy was that kid
28:40 The sarcasm in the chat.
"Ah I see."
"Ah yes, but of course."
"Faster pls"
"Beginner BTW"
0/10 – No crab.
I love Hikaru's expressions. XD
Ngl, id probably do the same thing the kid did
DAJNE MUZKYA
Levy seems so checked out, like he tries to offer explanation and than Hikaru just says "Yeah, I think it goes here" and then moves on.
havent played chess since i was a little kid. made an account and im already 1390 and like 4-1. am i just getting really lucky lol cuz i really dont know what im doing.
i mean… where is G4
the twitch chat is killing my braincells. people are like "well im a 2000 and i play this why is it rated so low?". BEGINNERS CHESS OPENING TIER LIST COMMON SENSE WILL LEED YOU TO THE IDEA THAT BEGINNERS ARE FROM 0 TO AROUND 1000
I once did bongcloud, i won that match
You guys messed up the color gradient 🙂
0:42 i did that to my dad and we just started laughing lol
Idk why Kings Indian and Kings Indian Attack just looks funny
I tried the kindergarten story on my brother that started at the same time as me and I won exactly the same
You bear a striking resemblance to Will Riker.
karo kann, danish gambit, evan gambit, england gambit
Levy's mic just kept getting better after every part. If you compare part 1 to part 3
It’s surprising how many book openings I’ve played not knowing book openings
Wow my pfp really b a mirrored king's gambit
When a 800 player plays sicilian njadorf I say "really bro"
Bruh lol. Nice lol.
The start. LMFAO DUDE.
6:00
“The same kid!” Bahahah dude.
I just ducking watched full tom and jerry episode on the ad lol
The chat when Dutch defense was being explained: G E K O L O N I S E E R D
lol
The evans gambit by alpha zero was predetermined. Alpha took over after the engineers put the gambit on the board
