I'm about to play on a take off with the 10 gifted W take off of the chat
Say Matt check that is so crazy to see my face bro in a website guys to be fair
I did pick a solid picture let me warm up real quick chat you're looking at your
future tournament winner bro future tournament winner queen pop
lock it no blunders today no mistakes today just good decision-making and
good vibes Kings gambit I lost fuck you to the England gambit you're supposed
Just develop, be a good boy and develop, just be a good boy and develop.
Turn off your brain and develop.
Just be a good boy, two moves in nine seconds, it's gotta be quicker!
It's gotta be faster, two moves in nine seconds, I'm not winning a fucking tournament like
that.
Oh I just wondered.
Oh I actually just wondered.
Oh no no no no no no.
Wait, put that pawn, fucks up my development.
Ain't about how fast I get there.
Ain't about us waiting on the other side.
Holy fork.
But it's actually not because the queen protects.
Block middle control.
Take.
Take take. Queen develops.
up can castle off that as well he's not gonna take now that's a scary that's a
scary fucking
it's hard to play fast when which he's gonna go he's gonna go take let's speed
this up why am I burning time he's gonna go take that queen threatens nothing
bro it threatens an empty space and then this threatens nothing as well bro this
guy's development is good right now though hold up should we get the night
out? Yeah, always get the night out. Am I right? Always get the night out. Yo, night
Bishop. Yeah, this guy's like the CEO of not threatening anything. I don't know what this
guy's playing is. This guy's never really threatening anything. What's this guy's
deal. Take, I mean, is that a three-pawn? I must be hallucinating, but that's a three-pawn.
Everything's protected, bro. What are you doing? Three-pawn for the boys. Wait a minute. That's
not even just one three-pawn. That's two three-pawns. Well, we're about to get checked
made it aren't we this could be a queen trade also this unclogs a lot of stuff
free night I believe that's a free night yeah bro you can have all the
green towels you want oh my god is he gonna check maybe no he's not he's not
this guy sucks just that Indonesia flag yes bro pull it is right in the
bottom. Indonesia is better than the top chat. Remember that. Don't be one of those idiots that
thinks Polder than Indonesia has the same flag, bro. It's different flags. I mean that's another free
pawn. But do I want my bishop here? I don't know if I want to pull him out of position. I think
taking this pawn is literally meaningless. Now this is good because we're forcing a queen
traded. Oh, he's wondered. He premoved. You resign now. When you lose your queen like that,
you resign. Wait, what? Am I forked? What happened? I got forked, but he's dead. He's
dead. It doesn't matter. He is going to take my rook. Oh, he forked my... Fuck!
He fought my queen and I can't castle, shit!
I didn't see that.
All right, bro, you just gonna endlessly check me?
That's gone.
Is there anything I can do?
Yo chat, is there anything I can do?
Let's just ignore it.
Yeah, let's do a little fight.
Oh, wait a minute, you wanna fork?
Let's fork.
Let's fucking fork. You want a fork? Let's fork, bitch! I got a fork for you dog.
Oh, you're gonna take my bishop? Are you gonna take my bishop? Get forked.
See, now fork, take, take, take, take, take, take, take, take. Take, take. He's gonna move his king
here. Oh, no, wait. Is that mate? No, no, no. He's gonna move his king here.
Wait, do we have mate on the board?
I
Wouldn't mind mating on the board. I'm sorry look do we have okay? His only move is here cuz take take
Yeah, that's his only move
That is his only move
Say what lie he brought all over sign

Oh my god, I think that's really no
Bro, I don't even know what to do other than just check everything's protected
There will be some infinite games today because of the five-second rule there will be times when people have just two kings
And they will just keep moving them bro
I don't know if they thought about this.
Like, we don't know how to finish, at least I don't know how to finish games.
I think we're going to get repetition doubted it's going to be stalemate, I think.
Is there a move limit?
I might just try to do something else, bro.
I'm going to try to do something. I don't want to just keep checking.
I don't know. I don't think there's a move limit. I don't know.

This is Gigi's own A. I'm going to have two queens.
I need to get control of the middle with my king, I think.

I just gave you a free move, I think.
Wait.
What do you do with the situation?
I can be here all day baby. I can be here. I just straight that shit. He doesn't know
how to finish. He does not know how to finish that. No. Yo your prescription.
No, no, it needs to be repetition.
It needs to be repetition.
But I kept doing the same move.
Take?
That's far?
If you're in check, you can't stalemate.
You can only stalemate if you're not in check.
Trust me, I've done it.
Like what?
Like what?
I'm trying to learn from me.
Jinx, you're insane.
Thank you, bro.
Thank you.
Bro, I trained, bro.

I trained.
Just come.
Listen here, bro.
Listen here.
Hey, Jinx, remember when I had the right smeller on Muda
with the last pick, bro?
Yes.
Just come.
Listen here, bro.
Yes.
When is Jinxy?
We need Jinxy on two minutes without the queen.
Replace the queen at the post.
I'm telling you right now.
I think we've run everybody at five minutes, bro.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Chad, I was expected to get my ass kicked,
but O'Neill's not 1,000, he's like 500 or something, 600,
maybe four, maybe three.
But Jinx, you had two minutes.
But you had two minutes.
To be fair, you had two minutes.
Chad, if O'Neill has five minutes, he probably beats me, huh?
I'm ready for the start.
Don't nerf me, that I'm just going to stomp everyone.
Jinx, they're saying we should rematch one time.
Should we A and A?
Yeah, what do you want to do?
What do you want to do?
Do you want to do?
Well, let's see, let's see.
Yeah.
Well, you want to do a rematch straight up?
I think they want to do rematch.
Yeah, they're trying to see.
Like, they're trying to see.
All right, one moment.
Let me get comfortable.
I was so up.
Yeah, dude, same time.
What the fuck?
I was so, so up, bro.
Shit, I'm scared, bro.
That I'm too good, bro.
But then again, I don't know.
I'm not going to lie.
I thought it would be another tournament where I get first rounder bro like Valorant, like CSR0.
I didn't know bro, I didn't know we were up.
Okay, so this is five minutes.
Okay, look at this graph bro.
Good luck.
And how do I even see it?
How do I?
Wait, now you're either, okay, you're either correcting now on it.

Right? Be humble Bo.
This has to be good!
Unless I'm lying.
Right?
How did you like that move, baby?
I don't really care about that move, it's inconsequential.
I can kick that knight at any time with my F2 pawn structure.

But how am I not up a pawn?
Yo, okay, this guy's not 1k, bro.
This guy's not 1k.
You should kick my dick up with your A7 pawn.
I need to open up my back.
I think that's what the book would suggest.
I think I go like this maybe just move your queen out, bro. No, bro
I'm not gonna listen to one with you advice
Okay, let me actually fucking four digit leaks buddy four digits. Okay, let's just trade
Go ahead then go ahead then actually let me develop let me develop let me develop

Chesn is good
Where can I put this shit?
This side's good because this side's protected. No

I mean, for now yours.
Shite!
Shite!
Could feel better.
Okay.
You think One is better?
Okay.
They said you're positioning see I know no, but he said whoa is that a low hanging pawn?
No, I never do mistakes. Yes, that's hanging bro
Bommel Bommel
That can't be low hanging. That's me try them a bit the table. No, no my bitch have slung from across the board
Kiki who's better Kiki in your opinion Kiki?
To be honest you are
Yes Kiki! Yes!
Okay.
What?
I can't see the glitch.
You can't have so much...
Oh sorry.
Sorry Kiki. I cut you off. I'm sorry.
I think you got more training in the last month than...
Yes.
than on this...
That could be the reason why.
I need to lock him.
This could be a blunder.
I'm not thinking I'm not thinking so now this is where chess gets hard for me because like it's not a default position here
I don't really know what to do. Coslyn is so OP
Dude, I think you should kick my bishop bro. You should kick my bishop
Or else I'm just gonna keep your bishop pinned the whole game. I'm not even kidding
Okay, I'm not trying to get your head, but the bishop next to the king if you don't kick it
I was gonna you're trying to waste my time
Sorry for screaming at you!
I'm gonna go here. I'm gonna go here.
Suck.
Am I the only one that can't multitask bro?
I swear when I yep, nothing comes out of my brain bro.
It's one of the two bro.
Either talk or think.
Am I crazy?
How can you do both chinks?
How can you talk while thinking?
Now this gets interesting.
Wait, hold it up.
Let me think about this.
But knight e5 could be the best player right now.
Because...
fork fork takes with the night I take with the bishop I might lose though lose
that exchange ooh I don't know I'm not good at seeing three moves ahead I'm
trying to think of thinking that that's possible move right now I've
checkmate in tangency checkmate in 10 your coach this is a good move because
take take in lines night high oh I'm I hi what is he trying to do with this you
have to take with your bishop because you take with your pawn your book I
could do this do I want to rock it out I think I want to look it out don't I
you know what bro do your thing man
like he's cooked if I rock it out rock develop the looks yeah what do you eat a
steak with bro what do you eat a steak with a knife and what else knife in the
Fuck
What the fuck is this
Like Kiki, are you playing for it?
Yo, bro, no, this is Levi is playing us. I'm both
No, I wouldn't have brought pretty sharp playing him right now
Probably in the comments that I figured it out bro like what is this?
I
Can I save somehow I can't literally can't oh my god
Did you blunder somehow?
nine
Wait, what?
Like every move I do I hear that wait a second. Oh, yeah, you know in that scenario
You could have just let me take your bishop and move to your rock because Bishop was worth saying this night
wait I'm not even Joe I'm fried bro I thought you were
dangering my I thought it was for your queen was in danger I don't know
problem thinking about well now your queen is in danger
I'm gonna win I'm gonna win we won't hold it on a yo you just need to shut up
Yo bro, I got an antigen!
Nah, bro nah, maybe nah bro nah.
Don't, don't take my, okay.
Yo.
It's like, nah I'm tilted bro.
Kiki, which position would you rather be in bro?
Ah!
Okay.
Vamo, vamo.
Holy pond structure in the middle of it.
Holy pond, maulk.
Your cousin already tapping GG I guess.
Oh my gosh.
Yes, you could hear my cousin?
Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Bing.
How the fuck is the up on time? How much weekend?
Okay.
I think all I need to do is just let you mess up.
Wait, hold up.
Let me mess up.
This is bad.
I need to stop doing this right here. This is bad.
Kiki, you see my C3 and C2 pawns?
That's bad, bro.
because now my queen is kind of locked up, you know?
Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna make a play. Let's get her in the game. Let's get her in the game.
Her. No, bro. I mean, this is good, no? I swear I can come back. One or two blunders, Gigi
were back. It sucked. Very clean move, I think. Very clean move.
Kiki, what would you rate me as a player, Kiki, legitimately, bro?
I'm not 300 scale, right?
Hey, maybe you'd be higher. Thank you, bro. I know 600. Thank you. Thank you.
600 or 700. He said six. Six, seven. Six. Okay.
Come on, bro. You can't enjoy that.
That's my boy. No, bro. You're supposed to go to feet.
I'm not joking, bro. That must be the first feeder that said six, seven, bro.
That's where he's the goat
Come on, bro, everything's kind of tied up though. I don't really know what to do in this scenario
That's right. That's right. You don't know how to kill me, bro. You don't know how to kill me, bro
Yeah, I don't know what to do to be honest
Yeah, I don't think this is bad
Isn't this just bad
I don't know. I'm up so much material, letting a blender come in, making moves that you shouldn't
do are? Yeah, I don't have to do this, but I think
I could checkmate you if I do this. If I have like five moves, I think I could checkmate
you.
That's kind of helps me a little bit can you say after every movie do good or bad and like oh yeah
yeah good all right good good how is that good though if I can do this wait did you
Splunder good or bad Kiki decent what oh I don't just wish I can I forgot sharing
screen right now wait I'm watching your streaming science a good move on it's
not actually but I do yes I did it yes because because because wait is this
way you're gonna blunder bro all that rough move was wait this is fine though
right? Isn't this good? Wait, I want to say, I'm up material.
My god, you're cocked.
Kiki, good or bad?
Good or bad?
Good, good.
For who? For who? For me?
For both, for both.
What?
That was even possible.
We're both winning Jinx, CG.
Kiki, good or bad?
Good or bad?
Good, good, good.
Good.
Thank you, bro.
No, no, no, I don't know where to go.
Is that good or bad?
Good, good, good.
Kiki, good or bad?
Good.
No.
Kiki, no one.
Scheisse, Scheisse!
Good or bad?
No, it doesn't.
Wait, no, that's bad.
That's bad.
No, that's bad.
I don't know what to do.
I see the time all right.
What do you want me to do, bro?
Bro we were equal time this game!
Good amount!
That's as good as I was.
I need some distance.
I'm gonna do that.
I know.
Hey watch my howdy boop gigi!
Doesn't matter.
What's he doing?
What's he doing?
Bro I'm plus 10 it doesn't matter bro!
You're puns!
How could you win?
If you win in this position, 100 gifted.
100, I love how you're being scared still.
100!
I
Usually you have to realize right every time Jinx he says like you know that's what we want for you always has like
500 different you always put up the crazy numbers bro
Come back on the gift
No, bro. Oh my god Jinx. What the fuck
You're in are you a fast learner, bro? I swear you are
Hello? Let me guess, the shirt is off and it's celebrating bro.
Check, maybe I'm just nervous now bro, because people are watching bro, trying to analyze
if I'm good. Like now I'm like nervous bro, like I didn't know I was the gold bro. Am
I the gold? I don't think so.
I would say if you're locked in and you're not talking like to your opponent I think you're gonna play way better
Ok, vamos vamos
Ok so Kiki Kiki Kiki Kiki, be honest who is better at chess bro, me or only?
Probably you
No no no, yo shit, why are we laughing bro?
Why are we laughing bro? Listen bro, I thought you were gonna kick my ass
Bro I will in the tourney bro, listen bro listen
You're true, you're true.
This doesn't really matter.
This isn't a tournament.
This doesn't matter.
I can't focus when I hear this whole time,
this noise in the back.
Yes, in the tournament, we won't be able to call.
Wait, wait, Kiki, Kiki.
Could you give a game review, bro, of that?
Why did I win, Kiki?
I don't even really know why.
Why did I win?
Bro, it's asking for the glaze, bro.
Just glaze him.
I mean, no, no, no, no.
Well, I kind of.
Kiki, why did I win?
I mean you played pretty, like the way I think Levy told you to play chess, it's like play
simple chess, develop your pieces, put your king to safety, that's the way I told One earlier.
So maybe that's right because One is like not used to this, if you take a look at his
games like he's not developing that fast and like he's not prioritizing king safety
so far.
Also, I mean, Kiki, it's May I, but I might piggyback on that.
One, you kind of locked up your bishop, bro.
A little bit.
You blocked up your bishop there, bro.
I mean, it's not that bad.
It's not that bad.
OK, OK.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm just asking for the glades.
It's OK, because Kiki, I never win tournaments,
so I'm going to end up losing, bro.
Don't worry.
I'm going to end up losing.
I played this bad.
Jinx, they just gave me an update.
Yo, yo, yo.
Thank you for playing.
Sorry for the stress.
We will not nerve you, bro.
Did I play back, man?
What?
She just called me ass, bro.
Start review.
Let's see.
They were watching with, like, Chesa coming, like, yo,
we made it to Nerf.
Only picked some, bro.
They just said I'm good.
What the fuck does that mean, bro?
What do you mean I'm good?
I thought I was LeBron at this game.
Jixi, they were glazing me.
They got me to a call, bro, all the executives.
Yo, we need to nerf you before the tournament.
We're scared that you roll everybody.
I won V1.
You're on the Sunday.
Say I'm good.
What the fuck?
Chesa.
Jixi.
Dude, I don't know.
I don't know.
You just took me, bro.
Bro, checkmate him with this is so clean,
because the pawn just does the chat like it does, bro.
The pawn is so powerful, bro.
Wait, Jeezy, they're saying there's an OP setting.
Is that cheating or not kicking?
What do you mean, setting?
There's a setting for show only possible moves.
Is that true?
Yeah, I think you should enable that.
Yeah, when you pick on a piece,
it's going to show you where you can move that piece.
Is that not cheating?
No.
Really? Because that's not a loud chat.
What's my move?
I mean...
Okay, I'll turn it on.
It seems like...
Oh fuck, settings, I'll put it on right now.
Is that a loud chat?
That thing?
I didn't role play to play bad to not get nerfed, bro.
Oh, oh, you mean the dots?
Bro, you don't have that on?
You didn't have that on?
What do you mean the dots?
Fucks!
Oh wait, okay, sorry.
an important call to attend to bro okay
oh no bro you're good good luck in the
tournament bro okay jeez bro I hope we
get a rematch bro I hope we get a
rematch bro I feel like you might kick

good love you bro okay to bro now
W fuckin jing see chat. I have an important call to attend to
No, let me it sounds like you're in a total levees everything okay, I can't hear you
It's probably on my own. It's okay. Take your time bro. Take your time daddy. Sorry. I can hear you
Okay, bro. Did you just see me kick on a sass or what? I
I just booted it up. I just booted it up, bro. That was crazy. Bro, Levy. I'm dude. I'm nervous, bro
Today's the day man. I've been on chest for 22 days in a row for this day like today's the day, bro
I'm gonna try to not let you down, man
No, you you you already made me proud, but having said that yeah, let's let's win this let's win this fucking tournament
You know what I'm saying? Yes, let's win this shit. I do believe on a is probably my best opponent
Um, he was kind of playing like shit against me there, but I'm sure he's better than that. I'm sure he's better than that
You want to you want to go through those two games?
All right, let's do it. I'm gonna I'm gonna invite you to a classroom. Yeah, I'll do it. I'll do it
Like always do I feel like every time I'm looking at your games and I'm just like laying on the couch
You're always winning. Thank you. Thank you, dude. I'm getting better
I like I said, I've been training a lot with my cousin like literally every night every morning
He review he taught me the car root con opening on black
Which is what I'm gonna play today and I what's the opening when you go Queens pond close night and then Bishop
It doesn't work for yeah, you tell me that yeah
I think I think it's called like Joe Baba London Joe Baba London
That's what he taught me he taught me those and I'm just spamming those openings like that's all I know
All right, I sent you the invite on just like home
Wait, I don't see it.
And also on Discord.
You're refreshed.
OK, I'm going to join on Discord.
I'm not going to leak it though.
I'm not going to leak it.
All good.
I turned off.
Yeah, there you are.
All right, I got the two games in here.
Yeah, I saw this.
I mean, this opening is good because then you just
develop your pieces.
Yes.
And it's smooth.
And let's take a look.
All right.
Yeah, I couldn't believe you two owed him.
I was like, what?
Well, from the first game they had him,
I'll give you a little background.
Onee was like a thousand elo, but not really because apparently one of his friends was helping him play his placements and obviously in the placements you get a bunch of elo.
So they put him on a time constraint. This game he was on a time constraint. The second game we were on the same time. Just to have a little background.
Oh, oh I see his, okay, okay. Hold on, we just breezed past. His friend was helping him in the placement game.
Apparently, because that's how I got it. Chad, is that what Onee said? She got 1100.
Yeah, I don't know if he plays like that problem gonna kick his ass. But Levy is this bad of these stacked up volunteer because he kept getting me in those positions my F2 my F file.
I don't mean to call you out in front of the whole class but did you watch my video.
Which video which video video I sent you and texted you about. Oh my God. No. Oh my God. No I didn't. Levy I was gonna watch it and I forgot to watch them.
So you can I mean you can watch it before the tournament if you want you can just like I will
And you can even watch it on stream. I didn't leak anything. So in that video
I said I was like yo Jamesy you always take with the pawn, but you shouldn't do that
Especially when you castle like if you can take with the Queen you're fine
That was a blunder. Okay. I should have it was the blunder
It just messed up my structure. It just messed up my structure a lot
Yeah, and then it opens up your king. Yeah, okay. I'm gonna not do that today at one time
I'm gonna try to not do that if I can't if I can take with something else. I will but don't worry. Okay, you got your bishop out
This is good. Get your see. This is what I mean. You see how your king's open. Oh
My god. Yeah, it's a wide open file. Okay. Yeah, so
It's okay. I mean keep playing a move. Hey you pinned him you traded
Everything is good. I don't mind the move you played
Let's try to get a little bit more violent like the rule for today is obviously
don't blunder your queen and
Keep an eye what your opponent's pieces can take.
But I want you to get a little bit more violent.
So do you have a move that can threaten this pawn?
Let's warm up the brain a little bit.
Oh my God, I ended up playing this.
I ended up playing this move.
Oh, you did?
Queen d6.
I played this.
Yes, look.
So if he moves later, boom, and then you found Queen d6.
Yeah, happy luck.
Yeah, because it's check, too.
It's snap check.
Yep.
And since you're on opposite sides, you can attack him.
So far, this game is like, this is not a 275 game, dude.
Thank you, bro.
But you see?
You see how your king is in danger?
Yes.
That's so bad.
Exactly.
So you took?
Oh, no, that's a great move.
That is a great move.
Why did my bar go down?
Whoa, Mike, you thought when Bar went down from that.
So it went down because I think your king is actually
weaker than his.
If I turn on the computer, oh my god, look at this.
So, does he have a mate in it?
No, no, that's not mate, that's not mate.
No, no, no, it's 3.2, it just means he has a big advantage.
But look at this move.
He can go here and the point is he wants to go there and there
and then if he does that, what is that?
That's mate, yeah, that's mate.
You just try to be a mate, it's crazy.
Wow, he didn't find that, wow.
And look what happens if you go to a counter.
Like you're trying to counter his pawn.
He could just defend, he could just go here
and you actually have like no attack here.
He's just covering.
Oh, fuck.
I thought, wow.
I mean, the lesson here is, yeah,
this only happens if you take with the people.
Yeah, this all stemmed from taking with the pawn.
This all stemmed from that, wow.
Yes, and so.
And that's so easy to fix.
That's so easy to correct that.
Yeah, and one of the ways you can counter this
is you can always put a bishop here
so that you'll always take with the bishop.
Yes.
Yes.
But he did this.
So yeah, here, you know, just go here.
and then like for example if he does this what's he trying to do
uh... try to just for me he's trying to put me in check and take my book
and so in the video i was like
okay i mean you just have to defend but don't move your king you still you still
shaking off this habit that when your king is threatened you you still tend to
move it like you tend to move the peace that's attacked but you you should
look a little deeper
like here you can go here and it's i mean it's fine
totally fine
so
uh... yeah also a bishop to like d6 and like try it if i want
and then it's totally fun
how did the game actually ends so it was this this this
okay you blocked that's good
you spotted it nice you saw this
he's a queen
he didn't see it division the long-range queen
Long range, sneaky queen, sneaky queen.
And in the video I sent you, your biggest weakness right now
is late game conversion.
Well, you're winning, but you actually have to win.
It's not like a sport where you could just run the clock
out.
So I want to see, I mean, maybe he ran out of time.
OK, let's see the conversion.
My cousin told me the same thing.
So you took, yeah, 2,000, your cousin can definitely
spot like, you know, what you're struggling with. You see, you're just like giving him a lot of checks.
Yeah, I didn't know what to do here. And I literally said that I was like, I don't even know what to do
other than check you. Okay, so I, and again, I'll leave you enough time that you can watch it.
The video is like 12 minutes. So I was like, you got to win a game two ways. Like you either,
you have to use all your resources and go to the king, like your queen, the lesson is every
Every time you check, he's blocking.
So who should you get involved?
Who's the second most powerful piece you have?
Mr. Rook.
Mr. Rook.
Yes.
So how do you infiltrate and create problems with your Rook?
So I was thinking about that.
The pond was scaring me, though, that G2 pond.
I mean, could I just maybe move my Rook next to my queen?
You could, and it's a good move, but this is even more vicious.
You have to think in combos and your next move is this.
Oh my God, why did I never do that?
You're right, Levy.
Wow.
You just never seen it and that's fine.
I never did it, yeah, I never did it.
It's very rare in chess.
Your piece can go to the complete opposite side in one move.
Yeah, just think about it.
And it's normally a really good thing, right?
Like normally if you can do that.
Yeah, it means your opponent is super weak on the back rank.
So, yeah.
And then he would be super crushed.
OK, but OK, you went here.
And what I told you in the video is, oh, now you
can get your rook in.
Now he's busted.
I wonder if you just snap took this.
OK, so the lesson is when you swarm with a queen and a rook,
almost always there is a checkmate.
So here, you can keep the tension, and you can go here.
And then he has to go here.
And then you do this.
Now he's just made it.
He has no moves.
Levy, you're so handsome and intelligent.
I was like, oh, I'm gonna trade because I'm out material,
but in reality, I could just made him.
Wow.
And trading's not the end of the world,
but it's just, there's a better plan.
There's a better plan.
Exactly.
So, I mean, what you did was good.
What you did was good.
You traded and that's fine.
And you took, and I mean, did we like make a second queen?
Is that how we-
Yeah, watch, I covered it pretty well.
You wanna see something really sick?
Like you gave him a check and you promoted.
You can actually fork these two pieces.
Look how powerful a queen is.
What?
How do you fork them?
You can fork?
Yeah, those two.
Can you spot it?
Dude, no.
I don't even see it.
There's four to work here?
Yeah, the good news is you only
have two queen checks that make any sense.
And one of them is the right move.
Wait, oh my god, I see it.
You just moved the queen up one.
Yeah, sick, right?
Wow, I did not see that.
That's disgusting.
And then the game just is over
because then he has nothing.
And even here, you don't have to check him.
Just push your pawn.
Okay, good.
But even here, he's trying to stomp you
and then you just don't let him go to that square.
So you did this, now it's clean, we win the pawns
and now yes, this is, and no stalemate.
Oh, that was perfect.
Perfect finish.
Clinical, clinical, clinical.
Yeah, my cousin basically taught me to make sure that you don't stalemate tomorrow
because he said this to me last night.
Just make sure you always put them in check.
If they're in check, they can't be in stalemate.
And eventually you'll just wail them out to where there's nowhere left to go.
Just make sure they're always in check.
I hope he was, he was making sure to say that when like, it's just like a queen
and a queen version of pink.
Yes, yes.
Not during a game.
Not during a game.
No, he just means like at the end.
He just means at the end.
You know what I mean?
Yes
There actually is a game mode called three checks and it's literally the first person to three checks wins
It's actually very complicated because you just block your king like crazy
That is weird. Yeah, there's a lot of variance, but
One more game. Yeah, this one this one. All right. I want to see this. Yeah, okay. We did this so Bob
I'm looking you can take that if you want you don't have to I
I did it again, Levy. Look, I did the thing with the pawns again.
No, but this is different. Why is this different?
I don't know. I'm just bad.
Your king's not there. Your king's not there.
Oh, because I'm white now. I'm on white side, so it's...
Exactly. Exactly. So, now, look, if you don't want to deal with this, here...
I was going to show you this in the Karo-Khan.
There are some positions in the Karo-Khan where the enemy pawn gets here,
and you can't play this Night Goof.
And I watched you play a game against like a 280,
and you really struggle to get your pieces out,
but you can zigzag with the knight.
Like if you can't go in one, you can go here,
and then on the next move, where can you move the knight?
To the right or the left.
I can move into either of those files.
Exactly.
So having the pawn there is not that big of a deal,
but as you said, like, okay, letting him double your pawns,
it's okay to do it on the queen side,
on the queen side of the board,
but where the king is gonna castle, you don't want it.
Anyway, it doesn't matter at this fantastic move.
You have the second move is clean.
You snipe this phone.
Yeah.
Okay, you traded good.
And he just gave away a rug.
Yeah, I scared him with a fork
and he said he thought his queen was forked, which is...
Oh, and he didn't move his queen out of the way.
Yep.
He blundered between back to back.
So I don't know how it's gonna go if he doesn't blunder.
But I think in the tournament,
people are gonna be more nervous and blunder more, I think.
Yeah, it could have two effects.
So when I go to tournaments and I used to play like in person,
I would put the camera, I would live stream my board.
People have told me they're nervous when they play me,
but they lock in,
because they don't want to make a fool out of themselves.
So I don't know, it could be both.
Like people could be more locked in and focused
and not talking.
So I don't know, but yeah, they could also be nervous.
I mean, half the field,
like I'm not even sure it took one chess lesson.
So I don't know.
I know that I trained more than anyone.
So that's all I know.
I might not win.
I might not be the best, but I know I trained the most, so.
I might not be the best.
Dude, this is exactly, like, you see how,
like there are some games you just unlock your brain,
yeah, Chef, and here,
there's none of this like,
James C. who can't convert a winning position.
Like, you have your queens and rooks,
you bulldoze him where it's open,
and then you bring it, you trade,
and then you go here, and he's just like,
your next move is gonna be like this, or this,
and he's done and, okay, clean, whatever.
You just give it away and now you just eat his pawns
and then you, and you made it him.
I love meeting with the pawn, dude.
It's so satisfying.
And you just, yeah, you blocked him.
Like the way you converted this game, 1500 level.
What?
Easy.
Thank you, bro.
The conversion, you just like went in,
you won that game how I would win that game.
If you told me win the game for white,
you just, that's easy.
It's just, Rooks and open files are so overpowered.
If you can get them in those isolated files,
it's like they just take over the game.
I think Rooks are so OP.
Rooks on open files exactly like...
They can just slingshot across the board,
like instantly, it's just insane.
One thing I wanna show you, by the way,
this isn't in the first game.
So if you ever damage your King Pond,
like you forget and you go back to the old habits,
One thing you can do, so check this out,
like one thing you can do is you can slide the king
to the left, you see the board, right?
Yes.
Yes, slide the king and guess who's gonna go there?
And now you totally reverse it.
Oh my God.
So there's like these little things that you can do,
you know, and that's gonna be really useful
because imagine, you know, something like this
and now you're like, wait, I actually can start
attack I can go king here and then here and all of a sudden boom I'm attacking yes yeah so
but you know little secrets of the sense of you know of the you know and you can soon join
the smart and handsome and talented club yes bro I dude all I want to do in chess is like
eventually get to like 1000 you know and it might take like a two years or something but that's
where I want to get brown that's where I want to get like legitimately earn it because right now
I'm at 300 and just push all the way up, you know, and it'll probably take a while, but that's where I want to get to
No, you're already playing like I mean
Crazy level and I'm even your opponent's dude. I'm seeing people rated to 70 and they're not even bad
Yeah, that's the thing
Bro, I just weird bro because I swear to God as some of these players that I play in 200 elo
And then I'll play my friend who's like 500. It's like, okay
If it's 2-0-0 player would kick my friend's ass.
And I'll lose to 2-0-0 players where I'm just
in a headlocked bowl game.
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
I pulled in two games where you played 2.50s,
and then I'll let you go.
All right, you played your Carl Kahn.
I actually, oh, I reviewed this game.
No, not this game, but I, OK.
The video I sent you, I counted good opening,
bad opening, and then I counted mistakes and mischances.
So you're going to see how I counted it.
So like in the opening, you got a good opening and then you just hung a bishop.
So we can't do that today.
Today we're not going to be doing it.
Not today, not today.
And then, oh, and then you got really unlucky because then you were like,
I'm going to go here and that blunder led to the second blunder, which is this.
And it's just mate.
It's crazy.
Oh, I got made it.
Oh, I got made it in 30 seconds.
Oh, I don't remember this game.
You had, right.
Cause we just pushed it out.
We're like, oh my God, that was terrible.
But you actually had a very similar mate against Squishy.
He had a queen in the middle, and then he moved the queen
across the board to the right corner.
And I saw that game.
So keep in mind, like, the queen of the opponent,
if it's out, and even if it's sitting back on its home
square, just monitor it.
You know?
Because the queen on this square,
do you know how many squares it sees?
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. Like it sees 25% of the board dude. So you got to be really careful.
Yes. Okay. I got you. And the last thing quickly.
Oh, this was okay. This guy just resigned or this guy auto resigned, I think.
So look, Queen is out. I think I think the Queen made you panic a little bit like just go here.
Easy.
Oh, you're right.
God damn it.
I know about it.
Oh, free?
Good.
What the hell is that?
That's just a free night.
Yeah.
Okay.
I don't...
Oh, that's a brutal move because that night is staring at that pawn and if you go here,
that suddenly becomes a fork.
All right.
I got to watch out for that.
Yeah.
for today could come in handy.
If a knight is standing around on the outskirts
of your position like this, just kick it out.
Got you.
Kick it.
Kick it every time.
OK.
They can't fork you.
Make sure they can't fork you.
That's not a fork.
Monitor the knight.
It's all about their pieces, like what they can take.
So OK.
And then he did it.
And then this game was, wow, he just surrendered.
But he didn't take it.
That's the game where it went on.
He didn't strike.
He lagged out and just did the auto resign countdown thing.
And then he just, I don't know.
That happens all the time.
I'm not too wondering what you are.
The people you've been training against on Ches.com
from like all over the world rated 300
are stronger than everybody you're playing today.
Like you have already trained against the toughest people
because these people aren't even that bad.
So as long as you're locked in
and we take more chances today than we blunder,
you're gonna win.
Like, that's the formula.
I won't let you down, bro.
I'm gonna win this shit.
I think it's in 20 minutes.
I think it's in 20 minutes.
I have time to watch your video too.
I'm gonna watch your video.
I sent you the link.
It's not public.
It's just for you and the live chat.
You know, they can learn something too,
but I believe in you.
Most important thing,
the worst thing that can happen is you're gonna lose.
That's like actually the worst thing
you're gonna lose a game, but you'll reset
and you'll beat the next person.
And that's-
Exactly, you know.
Exactly.
W, Lavi, man.
Okay, I'm gonna watch your video, all right?
I'm gonna watch it right now.
Let's go, man.
Good luck.
Thank you, bro.
Thank you for all the help, and I'm gonna try to win.
Let's do it.
All right, love you, peace.
See you.
Love you, love you, bro.
Yeah, he made a video.
He made a video.
Let's watch it.
This is, oh, I think it's just a video.
Oh, it's literally a video for just me.
Wow, this is my game against Squishy.
Look.
Yo, uh, sending you this video.
I don't know if you're going to watch it on stream or not.
If dude, Levy is so good.
Oh my God.
You don't.
Um, I mean, you can.
It's just kind of just got a personal coaching video from Levy.
What an absolute fucking chat.
Secret prep, uh, kind of as a joke.
Um, oh, yes.
Good opening, bad opening, blunders, mischances.
Oh, this is against squishy.
Me and squishy always have good games, but squishy is he's a little bit
out of them. Nothing here is actually really a secret because all the games are public.
We're going to look at this checklist, all right? We're going to look, did you play a
good opening? Did you play a bad opening? Like were we principled? Did we get all the pieces
out? How many times did you blunder something? And how many times did you miss the chance
that the opponent gave you? We're going to speed around this, all right? And these
are your 10 most recent games. Important, all right? So I see you're recently playing
Carl Kahn. Fantastic. You want this opening all good.
So this is against my brother.
I would recommend we have the most heated chess rivalry ever.
We've played nine times or ten times.
We've drawn once. My brothers beat me five times.
I beat him four times.
It's the most intense fucking rivalry ever.
I always recommend chop down the center pawn.
If it's going to make your life easier, because otherwise they're going to push
and then they're going to knock you around.
So this is a great move.
So first things first, we got to go good opening one.
OK, fantastic.
Then you went takes this is all good.
Now I need you to get the rest of the pieces out.
So I need you to get the other piece out.
All right, you took good.
Let me get these bishops out.
That's not a blunder at your level,
but you're not getting your bishops out.
I might have to adjust the good opening to a bad opening,
but no, good.
Excellent. Excellent.
Okay.
Now we're going to start going.
How are you?
Are you making good decisions?
That's a mistake.
And I always tell you,
you got to stop moving these B pawns
because this is guarding that.
But it's a tough position.
You lost your pawn.
I'm not going to call that a blunder per se.
That's a blunder.
You lost your rook, right?
And he took it.
So now we have to add that to blunders.
So you blunder the rook, OK?
A better thing here would have been to move this bishop there
so that your queen guards.
Any time you're going to make a move,
you've got to think, can I be taken?
You saw this, but you missed that.
And a better move would have been bishop there.
Bro, the hardest thing about Chester Me Bro is just the vision of it.
Like there's so this even this I'm missing.
But when there's 10 pieces out, it's like, bro, I don't even know what's happening.
You got to just keep this in mind.
It's like I'm in a war zone.
As you get stronger, you can protect the piece without actually moving it, right?
It doesn't actually have to be moved.
Here, you're trying to defend yourself.
This is good. I like this. This is good.
Don't move the king. Don't move the king.
You got a rook. You got a queen.
I always want you to think, I know this is against your, I forgot if this is a brother or whichever relative, but you're always going to be thinking, how do I actually get a mate?
Like, can I maybe line up a few pieces in a row and go for a checkmate?
If you had a few moves in a row, how would you deliver a checkmate?
And that is how you would do it, root queen, and then you would go for the win.
Ultimately, in this game, here's a moment, you actually, you missed the chance.
um
Tough move because you saw this you're very you can't you can be a little reactionary you saw that the bishop was under attack
So you moved it but actually you have to scan the forcing moves first, right?
So you got to be like all right. He's going he's right. It doesn't even matter
Bro, I'm brain dead my brother wondered I
Could fucking check him
How did I not see this near pause your brain for a second and be like if I take
oh well okay i still lose my rook i still lose my rook but still it's better than that
and he takes and then i take his rook i can actually take his all my fucking god
bro why did i not see that rook now the computer still thinks you're losing but at least you
won one of the rook rook's back uh and i know i know this relative is stronger than you so
So there's no embarrassment in losing.
Okay, my brother, I'm going to be honest,
he is slightly better than me, yes.
Oh, he played, yeah, I mean, he outplayed you.
I hope my brother's not watching this, bro.
He's going to get an ego boost.
Had a good opening, but you made a big blunder,
you lost your route.
That's what happened in that game.
But yeah, he is slightly better.
Sometimes that's life.
We can't really bounce back from that.
And I would say like 0.5.
Look, bro, that was a shit game for me.
I got scared over nothing, moved my rook for no reason,
ended up losing my other rook, missed a forcing move.
That was a shit game.
And I clogged up my opening.
For me, you, you know, you missed the chance.
I have better potential than that shit.
That's in this one.
Okay, but what happens when we don't play a relative?
Okay, I like this.
I guess, I guess your cousin or I guess he taught you
an opening, this is called the, the JoBava London.
Yes.
I know my cousin is watching this, bro.
Yes, bro. My cousin Tommy, Jobava London.
All right. This is excellent.
All right. So good opening now gets upgraded to two.
Chad, those are the only openings I know.
Karukhan, Jobava London.
Chad.
Hey Chad, what opening do y'all use?
I'm actually curious.
I want to see what the most common opening is.
Chad, what opening do y'all move
like your first three moves?
What opening?
Scotch, King's Gambit, Karukhan,
French, not gonna lie, Queen's Gambit, Scandinavian,
Queen's Pawn, Vienna, Queen's Gambit, Sicilian,
God, there's so many openings, Jesus Christ.
I don't know, I do different bullshit every game.
The Vienna and Dutch.
I'm seeing a lot of people in chat
saying they do the Vienna opening.
A lot of people in chat are saying
they do the Vienna opening.
Now, you know, you go here.
I don't know what that one is.
What the heck? That's just a free night.
You took a night, you could just take that night too.
Now save your night or go here and infiltrate.
Okay, you did neither of those things.
Fuck.
I'm gonna upgrade this to a one.
All right, we're missing a chance here
because your night could have been,
now you're getting a little tunnel vision on the queen
and you're totally forgetting about the,
I guess you might be setting a trap here
that if he takes your night, this is good.
This is fantastic.
Don't blunder your queen.
No blunders now.
Okay, we got to chop down the position.
You have so many pieces here.
Let's go chop down his position.
Okay, excellent.
Oh, Jinxie.
This is checkmate in two, brother.
This is a massive miss chance.
Wait, what?
I didn't do it?
Oh, I thought he was complimenting me.
Oh, you have checkmate.
And this is not, this is over-complicating.
Take his rook because he has no pieces left after that.
Yeah, if his rook's gone, he can't come back.
It's just over.
I just chopped down his pawns with my remaining rook
and bishop and then convert to queens
and then checkmate him.
Take his rook, easy win.
Take his rook, take his pawns, make another queen.
You just blundered your rook here.
Just gave the rook away.
Rook takes these sevens, checkmate him too,
because you protect yourself and then, you know,
you would have a checkmate on the next move.
And then, you know, you're,
and now you're losing.
Oh my goodness.
Oh, please don't tell me you lost this game.
I'm absolutely devastated about it.
I didn't know if I could watch this.
Chad didn't know if I could watch this, yeah.
I lost!
Probably to get first-handed, bro.
Not, not, I don't know what's gonna happen.
I have a feeling I'm gonna choke.
I just don't win tournaments, no matter what.
I never win!
Dude, you are completely crushing the 250.
We gotta convert these positions.
You definitely, like, you gotta...
So, Levy, to be honest, bro,
in this scenario, I misunderstood this.
I thought this bishop was putting him in check,
which obviously I understand that it's not,
but that was like what I was thinking manically.
I thought the Bishop was putting him in check
and protected, but in reality,
if I just take his Rook, the game ends and I'm braiding that.
Wow, that was bad.
All the way here, you did all the hardest things
and then I'm upgrading Miss Chance to a three.
I'm unfortunately, no, sorry, sorry.
Miss Chance is a two, but Blunders is a two as well.
But your opening has been fantastic,
but the Blunders and the conversion has been rough.
I need to pause for one second.
You have to trade off his pieces.
You told me yourself when you're winning,
you've got to trade pieces.
That's what you told me, right?
Let's go for another game.
Was your opening good here?
Okay, you took his pawns.
this is like a completely professional opening bro
okay and again here's another moment take his queen
take his queen please tell me you won this one right oh my this is getting
crazy no no i'm lost no okay you got all the
pieces okay okay oh my goodness
I got me so
levees laughing bro chat no this is back bro levees laughing like guys brilliant bishop
sacrifice yeah I know thank you bro appreciate it man
at this point you should be like my opponent doesn't know how to play chess and be you
know the easy thing here keep it simple stupid
Of course, keep it simple, stupid.
You can take his work.
Take his queen.
Yeah, bro.
Chat.
What's the number one way?
Because I'm big into fundamentals, bro.
I'm never going to be a grandmaster in this game.
I'm never going to have 2,000 elo.
I'm probably never even going to have 1,000 elo, but what I can do is try to hammer
down the fundamentals.
What's the number one way a person can come back if they're down material, their
queen?
trade queens. One, he can't castle. Two, his queen's gone. He can't come back. Queens is how
people come back, period. Right here, just remove his queen and that way you never have to worry
about anything. And right here, be like, you know, what is this idiot doing?
Wait a minute, I would lose my queen. And then you blundered
to a bishop and the knight on the same square. So I'm adding like, I'm adding three blunders
to this. And I'm going to add like one missed this game was literally like two days. Oh,
by the way, this is like from two days ago. Chance. So the blunt, holy mother of God, three
blunders in a game. There's in the miss chances are gonna be, you know, maybe I wish
there was timestamps. Maybe this was at two in the morning chat. And I was tired
or something prevent you from getting to 300 because it's all there on the board in front of you
and then excellent here hit the night and then it's made beautiful fantastic absolutely fantastic
another good opening three for three on the good openings thank you excellent stuff that's my cousin
bro all right game with the black pieces let's go we're speed running this so we you know we can we
we can lock in and focus.
Excellent opening.
We hang our queen.
Good lord.
I can't, yo, I can't watch this.
No, no, I'm actually getting in a,
guys, I'm getting in a bad mindset.
How many queens am I gonna hang?
Brother, oh my God.
I own three queens.
Oh my goodness.
You are pinned here and you've blundered.
I'm actually gonna say not a great opening here
because you doubled up on pawn moves
but you should have been developing the other pieces.
So this one, unfortunately, I have to stay bad opening.
All right, we had one bad opening
and a horrendous blunder, a very, very big blunder.
Don't blunder the queen to the bishop like this.
All right, did you make a comeback though?
I'm taking a look.
Yeah, it kind of reminds me of like,
disappointing your father, bro.
That's what it reminds me of, bro.
Levy is like my chess father, bro.
This reminds me of like, disappointing my dad, bro.
Yeah, the opponent played.
I've hung three queens in three games, bro.
He's about to vomit.
Or was it two?
Maybe it was two, that's still really bad.
Very well here.
You're trying to corner his queen.
You did very, you did, you honestly fought back very night.
Oh my God, he hung his queen.
What on earth is the opponent doing?
But then he managed to come back
because he had a lot more pieces.
This is a crazy game and you got, you got laddered.
Oh my gosh, and you only had five seconds on the clock.
Brutal game.
This is a very tough fight, this one.
But you hung your queen.
I mean, there's nothing to do if you hang your queen that early.
So be careful about bishops pitting you.
All right, I will.
I will.
Bishops pitting chat.
Another fantastic opening.
So far, the good openings are absolutely dominating.
So your opening has been very good, not distrust.
This is literally just my cousin on chat.
Like my cousin has like beat into my head two openings.
That's free.
Nighttakes and queen takes.
You didn't do it.
chance miss chance you have night takes and you and then you have queen takes
pawn and brother you did not take back the night here this is I don't know
what is going on here this is that's a blunder so the blunders are plentiful I
could have just took the night with the pond oh my god oh my god yeah one
He I'm better than this I could have just took the night with the pot. We are not taking back. Why are we not taking back? That's okay
Fantastic, dude. This is absolutely game over now if you take this with the bishop
I'm gonna lose my mind because if you take this with the rook
It's a fork of the queen and the king and if you take with the queen, it's just I have a feeling
I didn't take with the rook. I'm gonna be out of chat. I have a feeling. I didn't do it just the trade
This is bro, yo, he's not a puke chat. My coach is gonna puke bro. My coach is going to fucking puke, bro
But you can take it brook
Okay, and now you have to win this in this position you got to be thinking how do I get there and the move has to be
Rook 27
No
See this is still beginner brain. You have two rugs and a queenie as a queen in a rook and you're pushing
Yeah, at some point in time, bro
Look at laughing bro at some point in time bro. You just got to be like fuck the ponds. Let's checkmate this guy
Bro, cuz if I move my rook here
This is checkmate
Unless he does something about it. It's so easy, but it's like
Like, see, because my brain associates, like, I have to check him to checkmate it, but you
actually don't.
You don't even have to check somebody to checkmate them.
You could just put the rook here, and then the next move, that's checkmate.
That's like a ladder mate.
That's ladder mate.
Levy's calling.
Hey, Levy.
How's it going?
Just watching the review here, and I'm up to seven blunders.
So, it might go a little higher than that.
People were telling me you were losing it a little bit watching the video.
I could tell that you wanted to puke, which made me want to puke.
Bro, I didn't realize I hung this many queens, dude.
I didn't realize this.
Here's the thing.
I don't want you to think about it like I'm disappointed.
I made that video because I want you to be aware of what mistakes you're making, so I'm
never disappointed.
I'm super hyped.
Dude, I'm sending your games to my wife.
Your games have been really inspiring, and you're definitely the best player in the field.
I don't want you to look at these games like, oh my god, I'm disappointing him.
No, we're just learning.
We just don't want to make the same mistakes more than a couple of times.
Especially not in a tournament.
Yeah, especially not in a tournament.
I'm also trying to like keep it, you know, keep it real.
And I don't know how much of it is like played up
cause we're live streaming, but you know,
if I don't want to get experience winning.
No, you're good.
No, I'm just, I'm not even just, I'm just,
I didn't realize I was hanging that much shit
until I saw this video.
But also just hearing your perspective changes
my vision a lot.
Like I would have, I'm stacking my queen and rooks
now more in the last couple of days for like checks.
But like I always associated like,
Oh, the checkmate, I have to check, check, check, then checkmate.
But you don't even have to do that.
I could just move my rook to this file, and then if my queen takes his c7 pawn, it's just
checkmate.
But I didn't even realize that.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, when you think of checkmate, it's, yeah, when you have two queens, like your
cousin said, it's mostly to avoid stalemate.
But when you think of checkmate, it's like the enemy king has five or six squares.
How do I just wrap around them like a snake?
And I suffocate the king.
Because if you just check the king, he's going to keep running around, but you need to corner
the king.
And that's it.
I mean, that's how you need to play today.
But to get there, we can't be losing pieces.
That's, that's, yeah, I, I got to stop hanging stuff.
My openings was okay.
And I think it's great.
What do you mean?
Okay.
No, no, no, you, you nearly swept the opening.
All your openings were good.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I have to just like take the extra like five seconds because we actually have time
Because we have five minutes, but every time you play a piece,
Levy, you get five seconds.
I think it's called five second interval or whatever.
So you get five seconds every time you play this.
So like, I used to take an extra three seconds
and actually analyze every time
and just before I do anything.
Okay, am I hanging something?
Because if I hang like a queen,
I'll lose to anyone in the field that doesn't matter.
You know what I mean?
I actually feel like you can beat almost anybody
in the field with no queen.
Like that's how much it friggles.
But you'll need the other pieces.
You can't be down a queen and have like no pieces left,
you know what I'm saying?
But yes, the process is they make a move.
You go, what do their pieces see?
Are they threatening anything?
And then you go, OK, have I got all my pieces out?
Have I castled?
And it's like, once you're past that, you're like, all
right, let me make a little plan.
Like, let me maybe go for the king,
or let me make this trade.
That looks good.
And you're going to miss things.
You're going to ask yourself, do they have a threat?
You're going to say, you're saying, no,
but you're gonna miss something and that's part,
you're 200, you're not gonna see it every time.
Right now you need to see it six times out of 10.
Four times, you're not gonna see it.
Yeah, I see it nine times out of 10.
Bro, the other day I was playing a game,
I straight up like hung all my pieces and got made it
against like a, and I'm 29, 30.
So it's never gonna get 100%, you know?
So that's how you have to think about it.
100%.
Wait, Lavi, one moment.
I think I have to call a player
because they're not showing up on time
in the tournament one second.
Sorry, no all good all good.
I just do want you to get in a bad place.
No, you're good.
You're good.
Thank you.
I do appreciate it, man.
I do appreciate it.
I know I'm better than this too.
So I'm going to try to play better.
All right, bro.
Good luck.
All right.
You'll make it better.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Chat a player didn't a player didn't show up.

I won!
Ron!
Ron, can you hear me?
Yeah, I hear you. Hello?
Yo, bro, it looks like we're matching up against each other in the first round, Ron.
Ron, chat for you first round.
Yes, so you guys are going to play first round, okay?
Um, you will be starting white in first game and Roberto will be playing black and the first game and then we flip colors. Okay.
Okay.
Is there a way to like fix the zoom?
No problem.
No problem.
Oh, there it is.
I'm good now.
Okay.
Let me confirm with broadcast that they have you.
Okay.
Jinxy bro, Ron just tell me straight up bro. What is your plans after this 30 minutes?
I'll probably wait for my host from you when you end your stream when I beat you. Okay, so wait, Ron
I'm gonna be honest, bro. Can I be honest with you?
Mm-hmm the only way you beat me Ron is if you cheat bro. I'm being honest
Like like use the engine
Bro, I don't know that but you know, that's what I've got to do. Looks like that's what I gotta do
Yeah, you'll probably help dequeued, but it will be entertaining
So I I'll be honest with you. I
Wouldn't consider this cheating. I would consider this sexy. Okay
I heard that from a little bird that some people use vibrators in their butthole
To control the bees. Yes. It's a theory that Hans Neiman used it to beat Magnus Carlson anal
He lays in the other room and he has a whole thing on right now and every time there is a play
I get a vibration in my butt
Chad, is this a good shout?
Bro, Ron.
Oh, wait.
What?
Oh, wait, Ron.
We're on Chess's stream, I think.
Oh, still?
Oh, geez.
My bad.
Sorry about that, Chess.
Sorry about that.
Sorry.
Were we on Chess's stream the entire time?
I'm sorry.
I'm kidding, I don't actually, all right.
So how do we get the game going?
Okay.
Do you guys want to hear us?
I'm going to have to hear it.
We apologize for that guys.
I didn't even know.
It's okay.
So we're going to have a general announcement, Simon will be making announcements soon.
Meanwhile, I can give you a quick rundown on the format.
So you guys are going to play two games.
A. Gen Z, you're going to start with white first game, dem flip colors.
The games are five minutes long for each of you, and then you get five minutes second
added to the clock with each move.
Can you give him three minutes and give him five?
All I need is three.
No, it doesn't work like that.
And then once the first game is finished,
you don't have to do anything.
The second game will pop up in about 10 seconds.
And initially, too, you don't have to challenge.
You don't have to do anything.
Just be on chess.com slash play slash online.
And the last part is very important.
Slash play slash online.
Otherwise, we can start your game.
OK?
So let's do this for us and then we'll be good, okay?
That's no problem at all. Play slash online.
Yeah, chess.com slash play slash online.
And check if you have the online at the end.
And after the two games, we're gonna move you guys around
to have the new opponent and we repeat it two more times, okay?
So chess.com slash game.
No, slash play slash online.
Slash play slash online.
Yeah, that's correct.
This is a weird question, right?
I have a weird question.
It's not related to the tournament at all.
Kind of.
Don't bring up the thing again, bro.
We just talked about it.
No, no, no.
It's actually a good question.
Do you know what on pass on is?
What is on pass on?
Buzzer.
I don't want to force it. I only use one a week. I only use one a week. I don't want to force it, but it's so rare.
I know, I know, but it's not rare if I span it, bro.
Oh, excuse me. I had a question regarding chess really quickly.
Yes, of course.
What is a own person.
Ampasan is a French term called impassing. So when you have the pawn on the, so your
white and your pawn is on fifth rank already. And then the black moves to the
fifth rank in his first move or her first move. Yes and so it's important you have
to be on fifth rank already, the opponent moves first move right next to you, and then
you can capture it in passing and capture it, okay? But that's a very, very specific
rule where you have to stand on the fifth rank already and your opponent has to make
that two square move right at the first push. I think this is how you do it. And
it's very rare, it's very rare, huh? Very rare, okay? Oh, and one more question,
In your opinion, who is the goat of chess in your opinion?
Don't say Stémore and Otto either. Make it humble.
Okay. I was arbitring for a few other in-person events and my favorite, can I actually say it?
I don't know if I can say it, but my favorite is Bessie, so he's gonna be my favorite.
He's very good.
But I like everyone.
The goat is Magnus, obviously.
I actually like Hansa's style, too.
I like all the players.
It's good.
Have you heard of Plackboy Max?
Yes, apparently he's an up-and-comer pro, GM.
He's very good.
How should we start?
Well, we are waiting for the main announcement.
You're going to hear Simon's voice soon.
He's the main game operator.
And I'm here to help you guys if you have anything.
Oh, no problem.
You've been very helpful.
Sorry, we're just idiots.
No, of course.
Of course.
Don't say we, brah.
Say me.
Or a wife.
Oh, this is infinite jinxie.
What?
I went to go watch Chesa's stream,
and I saw me in it.
Whoa, it's infinite.
Wait, I want to go check him out.
Dude, look, it's infinite.
I think the longer I stay here, the more there is.
Chess67 is here.
Oh, it's on you.
Wait, wait, Chess, put it on me.
Look, it's infinite.
Wait, Chess, put it on me.
Hold on.
Oh, my gosh.
OK, I need to stop.
It's tripping me out.
It's tripping me out.
I need to stop.
I need to stop.
Yeah, so I think my goats of chess,
you know what I'm saying is Magnus Carlson at one.
You know what I mean?
And then probably Hikaru Nakamura at two.
And then at-
Holy Larper, brother.
Oh my God, name five, name five plays by him.
Three, I would go Jynxie.
I would put Jynxie at three, I think.
I think it's me, Magnus, and Hikaru, bro, seriously.
And I'm not really sneaking myself in there.
I really think I could go Tototo with these guys.
I think my favorite chess player is Benjamin Lupo.
He's pretty good.
He's pretty good.
Kequah.
Oh.
Oh, god.
So, Ron, be honest, bro.
Like, legitimately, Ron, man to man, OK?
Yeah.
The odds of you winning this tournament
is basically the odds of getting
struck by lightning three times.
And, Ron, I'm only being honest with you, bro,
because I love you, bro.
you have legitimately a better chance of getting struck by lightning three times.
So you think I'm that bad at chess?
Ron, I'm going to-
Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Generally.
Generally.
Generally.
Like, Ron, I actually think you have a better chance of winning a lot of it than winning this, bro.
Like, I'm talking winning the whole tournament.
Like, you can beat me.
I'm not-
Y'all are part of the part of the ride.
Hi, that dirt.
That, yeah, that was pretty good.
Oh, yeah. Oh, wait, what? No,
check in with the players. Let's
check all the players, man.
Let's see if everybody's locked
in. Oh, what about Joe Bart?
It's even here. He's locked.
He's ready to play. If you want
to click on the best player
in the tournament generally,
probably only a pixel for me.
But so all I got to do is
beat Max and I'm good.
You need to get to not get dead last.
No, no, say I lose against you.
They told me that I still go against Max.
So basically, I believe the way it works
is there's two groups, okay?
So there's two groups.
Two groups of four, eight players total.
Every group plays each other once.
The two best point scorers,
like the best performers of each group
make it to the top four championship round.
And then that's like the semis.
You heard what I'm saying?
That's actually an amazing summary.
It's because I texted him.
I forgot I texted you that.
No, I'm very lucky.
I've been training for this tournament.
I've been training so I really hope I win.
OK, so cross question for you.
What happens if after the group stage,
you guys are tied, like three-way tie or four-way tie?
It would.
Oh, god.
I don't know.
What happened to you guys?
I'd probably call Marlon or something to start panicking.
I don't really know, actually.
Yeah.
You guys are going to play a series of games, like three
plus two.
So a little bit faster games, but you
will start playing tie break games, OK?
We'll explain it at that point.
OK.
OK.
Also, do you think I could become Grandmaster one day?
If you put your dedication to it and you study 8 to 10 hours a day, then I believe everything
is possible.
Okay.
See, I asked Levy and Levy said, absolutely not.
He said no.
Because apparently you have to, when you're a grandmaster, you have to play when you're
like four because your brain has so much storage and it's like a sponge.
So I do recognize.
Maybe for you.
Maybe for you.
I can tell you an example, Sam Shankland.
It's a...
Well, somebody did it.
Somebody became a GM when they started late, Sam Shankland.
But...
But, yes, this is true.
This is true.
So, Sam Shankland grew up in California and I'm going to look up when he started playing
chess, but I think he was already past 10 years old.
Yeah.
So, he was older, like, not terribly young.
Oh, my God, he did it.
He taught how to play chess, his father taught at age of six and he began playing in tournaments
at age of 11, which is, and he's I think the number 24th, like the highest peak was 24th
in the world, he's like the US top in top 10 in the US, so definitely.
Yeah, your dad on the money, his peak ranking is 24, wow, you know your stuff, wow.
I feel like she's larping a little bit, I don't know.
I don't know. It seems like too many too advanced to me. Bro. They give me 10 gifts.
Yeah, I mean, so wait, is there like, how do you find the World Rankings right now?
Is there a way to look at the World Rankings sheet or no?
Isn't Gukesh number one now? Gukesh?
Well, no, Gukesh is the world champion. So he holds the world champion title.
But the number one is still Magnus Carson, obviously.
The easiest is if you type in 2700 or 2700 chests or something like that.
Oh, I see it right there. Thank you so much. Live chest ratings. Thank you so much.
Hukaru's still number two. Holy aura.
Wow, Magnus is number one.
The really cool thing about this website is that it gets adjusted after each game they play.
Wait, that's why XQC calls me a pawn. It's a short stubby round piece.
What is this? Wait, oh my God.
Hey guys, I have an ETA, so we are about three minutes out from the first game,
and Voice of God announcement will be in about 60 seconds, okay?
Take your time. No rush at all. Thank you so much for the communication.
Wow, Maddie Carlson number one, Hakaaru Nakamura, Fabiano, I've heard of this guy,
Karuna, I don't know this guy, Chad. I've heard of this guy, Anish, Anish.
Yeah, do you know, I bet you don't know what a promoted pawn is.
So between, before Anish, it's Sindorov. He's actually playing in the candidates right now.
The candidates...
He's dominating everybody, right? He's like dominating?
Yes, and it's been unheard of. He's breaking records.
I was watching a video, and he set a record for the most wins ever in Canada.
Exactly. He's amazing.
And look at 28 points. You see that?
Oh my God, he's flying up the rankings, flying up.
So he's going to be probably the one who challenges Gukesh in the world.
Hey Jinxie. Yeah, what's up, Ron? Everything okay?
What are promoted pawns? Let's see if you know your stuff.
Uh, it's when you make a pawn to the other side of the board and it promotes into a queen.
Okay, that's good. Can the Rook and King move together?
What do you mean together?
Can they or can they not, bro? Yeah, when you castle, yes. Oh
My god, wait, you're good. Okay, well, that's not good. That's not that's what if the opponent doesn't move the way I wish
If the opponent, I don't know, bro, you just need a strong defense that's gonna fuck you in the end, but I'm not gonna lie like that's gonna mess you up. You didn't know the answer to that one. That is gonna mess you up. It's okay. I'm ready now. Now I know you're weak.
Do you want to know my prediction in my chat? I want to see your prediction, Ron. Can I check out your prediction in your chat?
Mods, we're out of prediction.
Free the dick up.
Hello, everyone.
Thanks for joining us today.
This is Simon from Staff Speaking.
You also have a staff member in your breakout room.
We're looking to start in about 90 seconds from now.
And we want to do quick announcements.
So today's format is very simple.
It's three rounds.
And in each round, you play two games against the same opponents.
one game with white, one game with black, we will start the first game so there's
no need to challenge each other or to accept any incoming challenges.
Everything's automated. The second game will start about 10 seconds after the
end of the first game. It's the total score of your games that counts. The top
two players of each group will move on to the knockout stage.
If there are any ties at the end of the group stage, there are some tie breakers and we'll
get into those details at the time if needed.
Otherwise, please make sure you're in the chess.com play zone, chess.com slash play
slash online, and like I said, the games will pop up automatically.
If you have any questions, please let your staff member know otherwise we're ready to go in about 60 seconds from now. Okay. Thank you. And good luck to everyone.
I guess if there was a tie, Jinxie will know at that time.
One question. Um, okay. So if you get top 2, you make it to top 4, but what if you get bottom 2?
Yes, so each each group you only the top two goes
Yes, I'll put the player guide in and that will have
Get ready because your game should be starting soon. So I gotta go emote only in
in bandye or nay?
You don't have to go emot only,
just don't take moves from your chat, okay?
And you can banter with each other
if you keep the mic open or whatever you want, okay?
Okay, I gotta close my chat then,
because there's gonna spam.
Ron, I'm not gonna banter you, I'm just gonna like,
I'm gonna banter you.
I'm gonna like slowly decapitate your pieces, bro.
That's fine, listen, brother.
So Ron, first question, what's your, okay,
You have opening listen, listen brother brother brother brother brother brother brother. I've been lying this whole time
I've been a grand wizard
Rocks up it's grand master, bro. You can't even lie correctly
Grand wizards. No one's ever said that
That's okay
But at least he's stable. I'm ready, bro. Oh, I'm ready. Here we go. Good luck. Yes. Oh my god. So joyful
Okay
I'm here we go. I'm locked. Ron. Good luck, bro.
Check first round of the chess tournament.
Mods and predictions.
I would say good luck.
I'm wood division yourself.
Oh, I see your window went down.
See, see, that's a good opening, Jinxie.
But I'm going to take initiative and be the horse that goes up.
That's a cool opening.
I'm going to start with...
Ooh, see, no, no, no, no, no.
Ron, I've never in my life seen somebody move a knife before a pawn.
I'm not even kidding. Vanity.
It's fine. That's fine. I've never in my life seen somebody
Talking more than playing right now this let me lock in yeah, so what what Andrea would do is exactly what you tell me
Dude develop is she would do that
Hey, that's not even a bad play
It's not a bad play at all because then what I would do is I bring this horsey up here
This is not even bad developments see that is a good play Jinxie
But I mean you congrats. I mean I guess you get my horse
But what's gonna happen when I take your bishop, you know what I'm saying? Oh
Yes, I had pot alignment bad pond structure around bad. That's fine. I mean that's fine. I plan on castling
Oh, that's really good really good, but I'm gonna keep this
I'm gonna look at what you're doing here and honestly, I know this play
I've seen this play by Magnus Carlson
I know you watch ball, but I'm gonna steal this move right back and I'm gonna low key
I'm gonna low key move some
I'm gonna look you be smarter this bro. I haven't just laid for you
You should have moved your queen up, bro. You should I don't think so
I'm gonna do that shot
I'm gonna play a little bit aggressive here, okay
Wait, why do you have five minutes and 11 seconds? I four minutes because you're not moving you have added time
We both have added time. We're on the same time constraints
I'll show you a fort. Holy night vision.
Oh my. It's not a fork. That is not a fork.
I'll show you a fork. Just give me some time.
I'm lucky you're going to be sneaky with this. I'm just going to do that real quick.
Wow, you actually just made the best move right there.
This is not going how I thought it would go.
I'm locked. I'm a grand winner!
Let's go!
Oh, it's grandmaster, bro.
It's grandmaster.
Peter piped a pop of purple peppers.
Do you think I'm dumb?
Do you think I'm dumb?
You don't think I'm dumb, right?
Because what I'm going to do is I'm going to do a fork.
Do a fork.
That is actual fork.
You're cooked.

You just lost that night.
That's cooked.
You're forked.
Hold.
Rob, that's not a fork.
What are you saying?
Good, good, good move.

You're actually playing better than you normally play,
I'm not even kidding. That was a good move. That was a good move. That was a good move. I'll give it to you
Sometimes I'll give it to you
Honestly, what if I say so good right now, what if I set one matter daddy right here, and then I go

Dude, honestly, wait Ron, I'm not even thinking about it.
I actually think you're gonna go to a draw.
I think you actually fucked up.
Mmm, that's not a bad play, but is it a great play, Jinxie?
Okay, I want to make sure I'm not messing this up, but I think this is checkmate.
I-I-I-I don't think so. I don't think so.
I know- take- if you take my pawn right there, brother,
I mean, you're just done. You're just done. Like, I don't recommend it.
You can, go ahead, I mean you can.

These endless checks are pissing me off dude.
These endless checks are annoying.
Wow, I actually fall because of the opening.
Are you locked?
I mean, sure, I'm just gonna.
I'm going to read it.
Okay.
Reading chat. Do you guys think I understand anything that you guys are saying? I'll go email only. She literally told me I don't have to. I don't understand a word you guys are even saying. I still to this day don't know what a fork means.
I have one right here.
What?

Um...
Thanks.
Yes!
I know.
I didn't see that one.
Fuck.
I know, I didn't see that one, fuck.
No! Oh no, God, I missed! On my soul, I'm-
Oh my God, no, on my soul, I missed click that.
On God, I missed click that.
I didn't even click anything!
Oh my, that's how I fuck up my board-
That is so cringe. Oh my God.
That is actually cringe. I just fuck up my board.
I mean, I lost, yeah, I lost.
Oh my God, I can't believe I fucked up my board
by clicking my ex-
The game's over, yeah, I lost.
I fucking misclicked.
Yeah, I lost.
I'm such a burger boy such a fucking burger boy
I mean, I just have to let him take the pawn, because if he takes A4, I lose.
Oh my god, he takes A4, I lose.
No, wait, are we allowed to mute?
Are you mirroring?
No, sorry.
No, me.
I couldn't do much there, it's a good play, it was good.
That was really good, I couldn't do much there, but I fucked up losing my queen, I clicked
the wrong fucking button that sold my whole game
sold my whole game
I mean I
there's not much I could do jinx now fight so I take my
yeah I know but if I take my bishop down
you automatically get it
That's checkmate, Syonara.
Yeah, I lost.
I don't know, it's not.
Oh, well, I guess we'll do that.
Wait, but then there's probably a checkmate on the ground.
Yo, I fucked up,bro Chad!
I fucked up!
Clicking my-
See me, I fucked up.
I gotta get this guy involved, this room is not activated.
GG's boys,
nice playing, Jinx, oh god, nice plan.
GG worked out, GG's up.
You played good.
GG's up.
You played really good.
Nah, I messed up my opening and messed up that game.
I fucked up, bro. I clicked the wrong thing.
Bro, I actually think I would have had you this game.
Yeah, I literally can't do anything.
No matter what, you have me fucking pinned against the wall.
Just fuck my ass while you're at it.
Hey!
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Wait, and... whoa, I'm up under the wall.
Let's calm this down a little bit.
Dude, I sold burger. I'm going for plaque boy max man. It's fun
Check
I'm not going to be able to
checkmate checkmate.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Fuck! No! No! No! No!
I lost.
Wait, I lowkey think.
I mean, I guess I could do that, but I mean.
Yeah, I know, but there was no, but I couldn't really do it.
But I couldn't really do anything with it. Like there's not much you could do with it
Yeah, I'm about to fuck my
Yeah, I know and I sold by misclicking bro because I got impatient
What
um um um um um well i just got bent over on my butt man
wait i gotta make sure they're not still there's nothing i can do you literally win
no you literally win regardless you quite literally win regardless stinks
What would have been a stalemate, right, Chad?
Yeah.
Oh my god.
That was almost bad.
Dude, you win regardless.
Are you listening?
No, but if it's a stalemate, we tie.
I don't want to make sure that I don't do that.
Can I ask you something real quick?
Well, I'm trying to not stalemate.
I feel like everything I do is a stalemate.
Okay, that's check.
That's check. I gotta make sure I keep checking him.
If I don't check him, there's a chance he's gonna... Okay.
Check.
Check.
There we go.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Yes!
Bro, I fucked up my move, bro.
Come on, Jack.
Come on!
Oh, bro, I actually, I mean, I still go against Max, I'm not worried, but man, I fucked up my move, bro.
I clicked the wrong move.
Bro, who? I'm not kidding.
Who from the chess team was talking?
Dude, he didn't fight.
I swear he messed up my move.
Fuck, bro.
I don't care anymore.
Who wants that?
That guy talked and ruined my whole flow.
Round down, GG.
Oh my God, bro.
Ron, TG, how do you mute in Zoom by the way?
OK, guys, you have about two minutes to chat,
and then we'll shuffle you guys around
with your next opponent, OK?
So about two minutes, just hang out here, OK?
Look, Ron, I would take accountability, but, but, but.
First thing I got told, emote only.
When I was told it's fine to not have emote only on.
Then someone talked, and then I misclicked.
I don't know what you want me to do.
Ron, all you got to do, bro, listen.
You actually were pretty good in the second game.
Ron, all you gotta do is think about...
Well, I misclicked. Oh my god, that was the full of it all.
I misclicked my queen.
And then I panicked after.
That was literally what I fucked up.
Yeah, bro. You know what? You played perfect, man.
Keep doing your thing.
Did I not? That's literally what it was.
Bro, Ron, you also hung your rook and hung...
Like, you could still won, bro.
Bro, Ron.
Easy for you to work.
I'm looking at the game right now.
So I took your thing by trying to go for a check,
like a fucking burger, boy.
When I had it for key fork.
Jack, good start, guys, good start.
Two-0, Levy is so happy.
Levy, I'm going to make you proud.
Levy, I'm going to make you proud, bro.
I'm going to win this for you, baby.
You know what, bro?
Maybe it's me.
Who do you play next?
I guess I'm going to lose against Blackboy Max, though.
I mean, I'm not worried about that.
I'm not worried.
Bro, all I got to say, bro, is think about what
is threatening what, bro?
You take your time.
Bro, you let me get your brook for free, bro.
I
Know I walked up I know you misclicked the queen but right after that you let me get your roof cuz you were tilted
Well, I did cuz I yeah, I got tilted. Yeah, don't quit until the game's over. I took my queen. I
Know but after I took your queen. I took your looking. Yeah, I know
Yes, bro. Yeah, what I play next who I play next
Who am I going against am I going in Joe am I going against max? Please put me against max
It only makes sense, like, please.
Next round, you're against Max.
Okay, thank you.
I'm not worried.
And Jinxie, you're against Joe.
Yeah, I'm not worried about no Max.
Excuse me, is there a way I can see,
is there a way I can see like who the standings are,
like how many points people have and stuff?
Yeah, I believe if you go to the event space,
so chess.com slash event,
event and the PogChamp should be on the front page.
Thank you so much. You're very helpful.
Chess.com slash events.
That's my job. So click on that PogChamp.
Okay. You've got all the moves set to you.
Wait, so where do I click? I click on...
So chess.com slash events and you will see the PogChamp's kind of thumbnail and just click on it.
I don't have it. I have the tab list.
I'll just send it in the chat. Is that good? Oh, no, I see, I see. Okay, and then there's the results tab there.
How is max at a higher rating than me?
You guys see the brackets the group settings?
The results.
I have time to take a little bit of a number two.
Yeah, I see, I see, I see.
You have about one minute.
I'm not sure how's your number two, but.
Jesus.
She's playing this while.
Wait, Andrea probably thought I was so shit.
I see.
Oh my god, why is the extra Emily on fire wait, what happened if we both have no pieces?
Okay, so two minutes, okay?
Two minutes, bathroom break is okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, so two minutes, okay. Two minutes bathroom break is a good...
Wait, that's too good.
I mean, is this winnable for Adelene now?
No, I don't know how to kill you now dude, just only know how to checkmate with a queen
and a king.
I think Levy taught me this, you just have to cut the pie and box them, box them all.
And you can I look at chat and how to finish you?
No.
I'm joking.
I have it close
But for real for real, I don't know how I don't I don't I'm just gonna run away. I don't know how to defend
What the hell wait after push it to a corner somehow bang
Is it even possible for me to checkmate in this yes, I don't know for this
I think I have to move King to King because she can't move like what
I
Feel I'm gonna hold the whole stream hostage they didn't think through this
I know we're gonna be here forever
Like ever gonna keep adding time to exactly
like suck wait wait wait wait she's stuck
see chat wait is that not still me
i gotta move closer now bro they might still me
yeah this feels wrong like i don't want to i don't want to do this emi i'm
not joking but like this i feel bad why did they make us
join the call like i feel so bad uh i know what a juicy match it's been
but i have to do this like i'm sorry wait this is checkmate no
yes is it i don't know that not that
push that in check
this guy you can think ink through your moves and talk it out which which
which move are you thinking on it i'm thinking g about the not the last one
the one the book like that i see i have then i have you then i have you but
i is it a draw then because you can't move no no you'd win
No, you'd win because you're attacking me.
Congratulations.
Uh, I don't know about that.
Wait for One! One! Wait! I have a question!
Yeah, what's your question?
Um, what's your favorite soup?
I ain't trying to waste my time.
You're trying to make me go to the limit of zero seconds.
I was wondering what your favorite soup is.
Wait, I'm scared. What would I have waited?
Wait, I don't know how to do that.
My favorite soup is clam powder.
What's this? I draw!
I have one queen! I have one queen!
I'll take it! I'll take it!
You have your own strategy!
GG, heavy GG!
Insanely well! How do we finish out the game though?
I don't know how I can finish out-
Chat, I'm not kidding. I think we won this tournament.
I'm not kidding. No, no, no. Chat, I think we won this tournament.
Oh, that was fun though. What the hell? Yeah, it was great. You make German. You're staying
here and your opponent is coming soon. Oh, my opponent's Joe Bart, right? Oh, wait,
I'm muted. Sorry, I'm out of it. Jinx team. Wait, how did you do that first game? How
How did you do?
I played Max and he resigned the first game
and then I checked in the second game.
What do you mean he resigned?
What does that even mean?
I literally, he affect.
He hit the resign button and just quit.
Intentionally or unintentionally?
Yes.
He said, GGs, I said, why would you do that?
You could have just tried to stall me
and run around the board and like force a draw.
I told him, I said, any other future match
Don't don't resign like just just like just play until you either
Yeah, oh my god when one a just had to move Queen down one and people
The king was perfect. Oh, so we were talking earlier. I don't know. He's that only he's not a thousand one hundred
Elo, right? I think he was just a new account. No, so I think what happened with one a was um
He said he was playing with somebody who was like telling him what to do and he played placements
and in placements you get like my number one.
Oh, and just got really high.
Yeah, no, I played against One, he's not a thousand you got.
No, no way.
He's definitely, he's definitely like better though.
Like One's definitely like,
I don't know if he's better than me,
I only played him twice,
but he's definitely like 500 Lilo for sure.
Like you know.
Okay guys, I hate to break up the chat.
Game's about to start in about a minute or so, okay?
Okay.
So get ready, go to chat.com slash play slash online.
be sure that the online is there.
Okay, Joe, you're gonna be starting white the first game.
Jigsdy, you're black.
And then second game starts about 10 seconds
after the first game finish and flip colors, okay?
Any questions?
I'm here.
No, I don't think, Joe, any questions?
No, I have no questions.
Joe, do you wanna mute or do you wanna talk to each other?
I'm probably, I might, I'm not gonna mute,
but I might be quiet, white.
I'll knew, but if you say something to me, I'll unmute.
OK, I'm predicting that you win at least one game on me.
I think you might win two.
My goal is to either stalemate you or win one.
OK, now, Joe, what's your highest
kilo you've ever reached in chess?
Brother, 290, like, I get 300.
OK, not great.
I think I'm going to 2-0, Joe.
I think I'm going to 2-0, bro.
I think you're going to two on me too, but I don't think you're going to like scholars
mate me or anything.
I don't do that opening.
I don't do that.
I don't do that opening.
I don't do that opening.
I try to scholars mate.
I'm going to be starting with you in about one minute from now.
Yes.
Same as previous round.
Just make sure you're in the play zone, chess.com, slash play, slash online, and
the game will pop up automatically.
And then the second game will start about 10 seconds later.
Yep.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Joe, good luck.
Now, what if I beat you got everything
to lose right now in this game?
If I lose, I got two games on this.
Like, no big deal.
I've been playing for two days.
But you've been playing for a month.
And they're pulling clips of you for this tourney
from like four years ago you playing chess.
So you've played chess frequently.
Dude, well, not frequently, but I've played chess
22 days in a row, leading into the tournament.
Yeah, so if I lose, I should be ashamed of myself.
Yes, I agree.
I played 22 days in a row with multiple coaches.
So yeah.
That's Saratoga water, getting ready.
You're such how to get in my head.
Joe, I love you, bro.
You're not gonna get in my head, buddy.
You're not gonna get in my head.
And I know your competent.
Like it's, you're not, I already know.
But you know, you have higher chess knowledge than me.
Like definitively,
like you definitely know more.
Yes.
I know more about chess because I played more in the last month.
But I do think you're going to be better than Ron.
And I almost sold a game against Ron.
So I need to clean up my opening a little bit
because my opening was horrible.
I clogged up.
Just hand me a win and then we go game two.
No, I'm not doing that.
I'm not having anybody win.
My chat will rage at me.
I never win a tournament.
So today's my chance.
Mods, Jinxie has a wire mic in his ear right now.
he's getting fed moves to play. Can we uh can we get an ear check on Jynxie?
All right guys here we go round two.
All right Joe I'm gonna leave good luck bro.
Yep yep yep good luck.
So Jack I assume Joe is gonna be like considerably more competent than Ron. Yeah Joe's already
higher you love it around King's calling. He's gonna probably move a night out now.
Take take.
I kind of would rather get my night out than just move my phone than my development shit.
But take, take, take, take.
I would win a night.
Yeah, I would get the last exchange there.
All right, now we take, take, take, he's going to get his, oh, this is a cheeky little pin
on the queen.
This is a good pin on the queen, I think.
Oh, his development's already weird.
That's a good pin.
If this queen moves, we have a free palm here, too.
He might move like that, though, which if he does that.
Okay, that would trade Bishop.
Our development is so good right now.
His queen is out of position.
Wait, I think we got a free palm from all that work.
Pretty sure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we got a free palm from all that.
Night hanging
Can't castle yet
What wasn't a free palm they had to grind for it, but now we got to get our queen to safety
We don't have to there's no rush. We should just be developing our night here
Joe is um
Yeah, definitely more intimidating than wrong that's for sure, okay
honestly, bro
I'm feeling about to make a horrible decision, so what I'm going to do is, I'm just going
to like completely fall back, like here, yeah.
I don't know. I think bringing my queen out was bad because, yeah, he's putting so much pressure on me.
I need to, like, get the fuck out of here, I think, bro.
I'm in so much trouble now, dude.
Ooh, this is an okay play.
This is a okay play, I think.
He's going to do something like, he's going to try to, I don't think he can pressure my
queen in this position though, because even if he does this, this is like junk, because
I could just take, I could just take for sure.
I think our queen is finally in a safe spot.
Guys, if you can hear me, the girls would love to hear the banter on the chat, so
unmute yourself.
Sorry about that.
Sorry about that.
I'm kind of just like strategizing in my head right now.
Joe, how are you feeling about still going for my queen?
You're playing well.
You're playing well.
I don't think I'm playing too bad right now,
but you've put me in an interesting debacle here.
I got a pawn.
But with that, my queen was overextended,
so I had to get her to safety.
But I am up material, but I'm down in 10 seconds.
Yeah, but I'm also in a pretty shitty spot.
I'm going to do that.
That might have been a bad play.
No, no, Castling's not a bad.
I didn't think it's possible for Castling to be bad.
I feel bad we weren't bantering now.
I've been chirping up a storm.
I've been saying how ass you are.
I've been yapping, I've been yapping.
Okay, this is my next play for sure.
Next play for sure.
This play is clean.
Interesting.
Interesting maneuver I know.
I can't do my play anymore.
Can you?
I'm pressuring you somewhere.
Hmm. Interesting. Very far.
This is very sexy. Okay.
Put me in a little scare zone right now.
Oh god, I'm nervous. I'm nervous. I'm nervous. I'm nervous. I go there.
I've never been in a position like this in chance.
This is like really weird.
Hey, there's a million and one positions you could be in.
Am I putting the pressure on you?
You gotta put the burners on now, Jim C.
Yes.
Ooh, this is in a bit of a weird position.
Ooh, big money plays, big money plays.
He puts the pressure on me.
Mm, or does he?
Take me junk out take my night
Me castles I can't take you
Your night is the most protected night in North America right now
Why cuz I got my queen on him I don't know who's winning I
Think I'm winning barely by upon
My position is so chopped though
I'm so nervous. I'm not going to lie. Swatting bullets right now.
I got to get this going, bro. That's hanging.
You got to start cooking. Joe, I'm nervous.
It's actually hard. It's like way harder than regular chess.
And I'm already bad at that.
What, because we're moving quick?
Yeah.
Pressure makes the diamonds, J.C. You got to make a play here, bud.
All right, I think this is the best move available.
Yeah, this is the best move available.
Is it?
Cause take, take, I win the exchange.
I'm gonna have a look and open file.
Man, this is bad.
But then it's not bad if I do this.
Oh, I'm developing now.
Now we're looking good.
Are we?
Yes.
No, like I actually feel good now.
Joe?
Ooh, I see what you're going for.
This is going to be the start of something good.
I can feel it.
I see what you're going for.
I see what you're going for.
You're making me nervous, Chonko.
Brother.
Joe, it's your show.
OK.
I'm sort of in your queen's face right now, brother.
You are in my queen's face.
Take, take, take, take, take, take.
Did I make the move you expected me to make?
Yes.
Now.
You did.
This is where it's important.
Or I did.
Because now I do this, Joe.
I'm cooking.
And then I do this.
What are you cooking up?
I'm not understanding, man.
Okay, this is interesting.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, good vision.
I gotta get Mike.
I'm not gonna lie, I feel totally locked in right now.
Like, the synergy I have in my brain is unreal.
Ooh.
Weird move.
very weird move. Why did you do that? You're confusing me. You're really confusing me here.
What do I do in response or reply, some may say?
I go.
I'm singing to myself.
Sorry.
I'm singing to myself. Sorry.
Tom's the nerves.
Wait.
Wait.
Doing a lot of math here.
Ew.
That's a move.
Do I like that move?
Or do I not like that move?
Oh God.
You block your queen there
I'm going to have an aneurysm looking at this board, I don't even know what to do.
I could not have been good.
No way.
T. T.
I gotta do I gotta do it.
I just throw I just throw wait may have just run I've run.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Gotta do that.
I still got a chance.
Let's check check.
Check again.
Oh, that was bad.
I just blundered like crazy, bro.
I think that's, is that checkmate?
Yes.
Good game.
Good game.
I feel like I was I feel like I was cooking there for a second and I should have taken your pawn and then you're starting to the next game whoa whoa whoa whoa okay okay fuck man I can't believe I was you were you were winning I'm not even kidding it was close though it was really close
us. Not sure I enjoy that.
You're going quiet, man.
Why are you so silent?
I'm in close tape, bro.
I'm in close tape.
Every time I play chess, I have a voter.
I actually love this game.
I just wish I was good.
One of my life goals is to hit a thousand.
You know, in chess, bro.
I like that.
I'm actually playing faster.
This game is more confident.
That's the first game jitters, bro.
Holy development.
Be nice up every day.
Oh my god.
I don't know what to do here, JX.
You're freaking out.
You're playing too fast.
Blow the burners.
I'm stress squeezing my needle.
It's calming me down, it's calming me down, oh my gosh.
Why would you move your king up?
Queen, queen, queen, queen, queen, queen.
Queen, it's confusing me.
Why would you do that?
Wasn't moved there, I don't understand.
Bro, Joe, wait, if our group is Ron and PBM,
and you beat PBM, and I know how bad Ron is,
I think you're gonna make-
You might set to zero.
You're gonna make it to the final group, bro.
You're gonna make it to the top four.
If I beat Ron.
If you beat Ron, but I'm telling you,
Ron is violently bad.
Like it's bad.
Ooh, that's interesting.
I have to beat Ron, though.
Doesn't this just shove this down completely?
Yeah, because then we have like a shield.
But I just, I know that that's bad to move that.
I already know it is.
Break it out!
This is a good play.
This is sexy.
That could be good later on.
This is the most defended pawn in the world.
Both of our pawns are defended.
That's okay.
More interesante, amigo.
Take, take.
Take, take.
That bishop, holy vision on that bishop.
I gotta watch out for that.
I can't look like Queen.
She's kind of lost.
Oh my god.
What do I do?
That would be bad.
You take.
I wouldn't profit anything for me.
Huh.
I had something cooking and now it's not cooking at all and more GenC Joe
Isn't it like 30 times more nerve-wracking with your actually in a tournament on the stream
Yeah
100% normally when I play chess I'm like ripping mobile games. I'm also taking forever to make a move right now. Yeah, you're
Gotta gotta do something rescue here
Yeah.
You don't have to say that to me.
Why are you being me?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Joe.
I'm in a bad play.
What's it to you?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm not trying to do it.
I'm just trying to be my self confidence.
Yeah.
But like, okay, that has to come back.
Yeah.
I need to get rid of this fucking centerpon I took a cobra I can't move anything. Oh wait
wait there's a hanging knife how long was this guy here for?
A couple moves. Bro I just now saw this. Holy shit.
Okay, but wait
No, that that's files protected by that but this is bad though, you never want to have this
Let me tell me this is like a nightmare, but Jimmy Fair. There's nothing over there. So
What the fuck am I doing yeah, Levy told me this let me give you goddamn fucking teaching lessons
Mid game dude made right before the journey. Oh, hey, oh, hey, sorry on the 2000 you little level player
Oh, let me let me give you some tips and tricks. Oh, here's an opener. Dude. I'm gonna be on. What do you do the spaniards opener?
3000 yeah, I think let me stay okay, bro. I'm not even kidding. He has so much or
I'm gonna be honest I have so much more control right now Joe
I'm fucking
bro I kind of want to pop this open I'm not even gonna lie to you man I sort of want to pop this open do it do
it. I think if I pop this open I win. We map it out. Take, take, take. Yeah, let's pop it.
Let's pop this shit open. Let's pop this shit.
Now it does get weird if he doesn't take, but oh, oh.
No, no, no, we gotta pop this, take, depends what colony takes with.
Okay, that's kind of a solid play.
Now, this is interesting because what I'm going to do now is we're going to get active.
My next move is probably going to be that, it depends on the stuff, okay, yeah, never
mind, we cannot do that move, oh god, we really can't do that, okay, okay, okay,
I wish I had the vision to understand how this is going to go, but I just don't.
Dude, I'm not going to lie, I have no idea what what's going on right now, I'm kind
of just fucking moving.
I'm just trying to take your pieces, man.
Are you trying to like checkmate me right now or okay?
I have a couple of things planned I don't like any of them
that is not a problem that is a problem Jesus Christ that is a problem okay that
That turns into that, that turns into that, this turns into that, that.
All right, you're going to be up, no, we're going to be tied I think.
Yeah, because you're going to take that and then I still have that.
Okay, let's do this.
This looks like a good play, man.
This looks like a great play, too. I should have already did this. Oh, I'm so ass. I should have been did this.
I think his book has to move, obviously.
How's that?
Bro. Okay. I think I've...
Joe, I think I just found it, bro. I think I found the method.
You found it. You found it. I found something. I found something. I like a lot.
You're dead. Isn't that, isn't that pretty sexy?
We are lost by night. What?
We hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Cool. Concollected. None of that matters. None of that matters.
Check.
and checkmate. Wait, what? How's that? Okay, a little bit confused. I thought that was gonna
Let me checkmate.
Is that checkmate?
I just want to hear the fuck.
I just want to hear that, but I can't hear it.
Okay, I'm actually losing this game.
Well, I'm down material, but I'm in a good position.
Freakin' out!
I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out,
I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out.
Oh my God, I fucking freaking out.
Oh my God.
I'm getting lightheaded, JX, tell me to calm down.
Tell me to calm down.
Calm down, Joe.
I think I'm in danger.
Oh, wait, okay, okay, okay.
I found the play.
I found the play.
I found the one good play here.
There's gotta be another good play, but...
I'm gonna get a game round.
This looks good.
This is, he has to go here.
There's one spot for the king to go.
Oh, now we infiltrate.
Could I like do a sexy queen sack?
Take, take, take.
Oh, I just blunder.
No, I see it now.
Oh, I didn't even notice that man.
Bro, I forgot about the queen's vision.
I forgot about the queen's vision.
No.
Still winnable.
You're fucking with me.
You're fucking with me.
No, if I would have took your rook, I would have lost my queen.
See?
I didn't see that, man.
Bro, I feel like this is winnable.
Even though I'm down with you, I'm in such a good position.
Oh, that's not good.
Jesus Christ.
I think this is one of them bro. I have to watch out for this. Bro, you're winning but I think I could win maybe.
Hmm.
Hmm.
I like you know like you know, like
the goblin last minute, Joe.
This is where it's going to get really sloppy.
Okay.
It's fine.
bro I gotta do this
bro is there any other way to fucking win
god I am actually fucking throwing right now yeah bad plays bad plays from
the Bart man right now not looking good let's say that
I just I don't see it man. I don't see the checkmate wait
Maybe I do maybe I fucking do
I'm not going to lie like, oh god, what are we doing?
Should I take that?
No.
How's that not checkmate? I don't understand. Where is the checkmate at? Is it even possible?
Oh, that's why it's not fucking checkmate. Can I just checkmate up right there? Checkmate
for the love of Christ.
J.C., don't do this to me.
This has to be checkmate.
Like, Joe, I'm sorry, but this...
Okay.
Bro, I couldn't find it.
I couldn't see it.
Like, Chad, what the fuck?
Am I brain dead?
Yo, Joe, GGs, bro.
You're definitely making it to the top, boy.
I grew, man.
I was up like eight.
Not, dude.
You only lost just because you met...
So bad at late game like I it's just the it's just the hard
I don't know what to do the time. It's just the time management with the nerves, bro
But Joe honestly if you didn't give me a look
I think you just dominate me because you were plus seven. That was the only reason why I wanted to be honest
Bro chat was I missing why I swear to God I could have had me yo GGs Joe. That was really fun, bro
I want to see Ron. Ron versus Max.
I put in a link for you so you can just click on it and then you can pull up any game that you want to.
Joe?
Yeah. Oh, sorry about that. Sorry about that. My bad. I thought I was watching you.
Ron beat Max.
Yeah.
Surprising now.
That means...
Okay, you're a four zero. I'm two to Ron's two to oh wait. Yeah, how do I do this? Oh wait, I see the standing. Sorry about that. Refresh.
Vamo.
He is on standings. Yeah, you're you're up four. Oh, I know Ron got half Ron drew one drew with Max.
Okay. Yeah, Joe. You're definitely going to make it to the top of the board.
I beat Ron once. I move on. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Because even if he beats me once, he has half. Yes.
One and a half wins. I too. I can't believe it's you with Max.
Say hi. I'm curious. Ooh, that's a fine stream. Long enough.
Look, bro. All I'm going to say is, if Ron beat Max...
If Ron beat Max, I'll probably like, I'll, or like, okay, if I played on a challenge.
Yes.
Yes.
Brother, if like I played Ron, Ron basically just hands you pieces.
If Ron beat Max, he also took the first, the first match I was playing.
I just, I tried to, uh, scholars made him, I moved my queen out and he goes, Oh no.
And then he just fucking sat there for a minute and a half.
And didn't make a move.
Oh my gosh.
Well, he could try pushing H2.
He can push H2, hoping that they should take the spot over,
Stake.
Push your pump.
Yeah.
Stake's been actually making such amazing progress.
But it's still not over.
Take the Bishop.
It's true.
Dude, it seems Stake and Oni Pixel on Chess
is actually so cool.
I think I could do it.
You see, I think that's a
really well, this the
steak.
Wow, steak played really well.
He did a lot of puzzles this
week.
You just seeing seeing all
these people on chess is so
cool.
This is so random, really
impressive chess.
Holy crows are acting like
chess for this game.
I'm crying.
No, I'm not saying that.
Remember only took some time
to learn how to.
Are you going to continue to
play?
How good is it thousand you I think a thousand is top 20% player
Like how good is a regular check? That's top 20% chat is a thousand little top 20%
Yeah top 20%
Top 20 if you're a thousand you know you're in the top 20 percentile of players. Yes, you're better than like 80% of people who play chess
Yes, this is a massive fight to go.
And also, you know, everyone makes money, like,
probably 0.5% or something.
But since, unfortunately, after next round,
we're going to have to eliminate half of our participants.
Okay, yes. Check me out.
Sorry, Joe, what was I saying? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Because like, 2,000 elo players have to be like top 0.5% then.
Bro, my cousin is 2,000 elo and he's top, yeah, 1%, top 1%.
So, yeah, if you're 2,000, your top 1%, if you're 1,000, your top 20%, and then GMs are just like 3,000, I think, or even more, cheddar GMs, more than 3,000, how much you know to GM sound?
How much you know, I thought the highest, it was like 2,500.
So, the FIDE ELO, the over the board, the highest is around 2800, 2890 I think was Magnus' highest.
2900 Magnus got?
Yeah, 2900, 2890 I think that was the highest ever.
Now what about like chess.com ELO, do any of the GMs even play chess.com?
Oh yeah.
What is their elo like 3000 or something? Yes, so the better ones are over 3000.
Dude imagine having 3000 elo on chess. What is is your brain just like a
circuit board at that point of just chess moves? Like good god bro. 3000 elo bro.
That's what I was telling Levy when he was teaching me. I was like I wish I could get
into your brain to see what you're thinking
when you're making a move.
Like they have to be seeing like 15 different scenarios
every second, like, and then just knowing
how to respond after that.
Bro, Joe, my like, I think my first week on chess,
I played against Levy, but he had no pieces on the board.
Like he couldn't see his pieces
and he literally just checkmated me
like 11 moves off of just memory like he knew were I yeah I played him when he was blind to
yeah crushing me he named out all my pieces like our I think the strategy in that is just move a
bunch of random pieces around and just hope that he forgets where stuff is yeah yeah just like do the
most like obscure moves ever okay you guys gonna be shuffled around soon okay
So wait am I playing this meeting is being recorded shadow rumba. Yo, Max. What's up, bro?
It's just jing see
Yes, bro. Hey, are you ready bro? I heard you were kicking ass man
Now, yeah, all I gotta do is be chewing that I they said I wanted championship or some shit
Let me check that max
No, I think even if you to owe me you're out of the tournament
I'm not going to rock bro.
There's no way you check something that fast.
Now look, let me tell you this.
No, I'm looking at it.
Maxim, look at that.
Yeah.
My whole chat is getting on my ass saying you are fucking trash.
But did you not say that being in chess tournament,
you got to have little experience?
Yes or no?
Um, yeah.
Basically everybody in the tournament is like,
you snooze to chess.
Like everyone in the tournament is like,
Bro, Joe's been playing since he was five years old.
That ain't even playing before Mike Brown came out.
There's no way, bro.
Max, but Joe has no, no, no, no, no.
Max, Joe has like two under either.
Joe has like two under either.
Bro, he is sweat, bro.
Wait, I'll put you on.
I don't think he's even a sweat, bro.
Bro, Max, to keep it a buck, bro, I'm going to be honest.
Don't say no to that.
You're not going to get me mad, bro.
No, no, no, no.
I'm not going to say anything, bro.
Max, what I will say, bro, and I'd say the same thing to Ron.
I think, and I thought you were going to be better than Ron,
bro, you said you played in lunch.
You said you played in lunch.
You told me that.
Why should I do?
How much did you play in lunch?
Did you play for like an hour total?
Like, how much of your life have you put into chess, Max?
How many hours?
Thank you.
I would say, uh, uh, well, let's,
I'd say probably like four hours total, right?
Yes.
So obviously you know how all the pieces move, right?
Now, maybe like four to 10, four to 10.
OK.
Bro, I've been grinding just for the last 22 days.
I'm new to the game, but I've played 22 days in a row.
In a row?
Yes.
Like if I go on chest.com, I have a 22-day streak,
bro.
I've played 20 days in a row.
I'm trying to win this.
What?
Trying to win this.
So why are you doing my odds of being you are right now?
Ron almost beat me, Joe almost beat me.
I mean, I'm not good by any means.
You could beat me.
I'm not even kidding.
Joe was beating me.
Ron was beating me in one of the games.
But then they just ended up messing up one piece.
But like, bro, I'm going to be honest, Max.
You could beat me.
Like, you could win a game against me for sure.
Now the top, now Max.
On the contrary, the odds of you winning this tournament is basically the odds.
Yeah, of getting struck by lightning twice.
I'm going to be honest, bro.
Like you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning.
Max, if you literally, Max, I thought you were going to be good.
If you lost to Ron, bro, I said the same thing to Ron.
I said, Ron, you have a better chance of being struck by lightning three times.
And yeah, but at the end of the day, bro, if you lost to Ron, bro,
I don't even want to know like Max. What the fuck bro? You lost to Ron. I had to tell Ron the pieces literally last week
Bro, he met practice and bro, I literally know he has it
Bro, he had a coach for one day and he ignored her. He like did it even he didn't even know what she was
Oh yeah, he literally did a streamer on Dragon Ball 10, bro!
Yes, bro, and he did a horrible job.
I played against him.
He didn't learn, nothing even computed.
Wait, Jamex, were y'all's game close?
Like, were you and Ron's game close?
Gang, I literally beat him in the first game,
but there was some rule that came up that we'd stall me?
Like, what the fuck is that, my nigga?
Wait, Max, you were beating Ron in stalemate.
Look, I was whooping his ass, bro.
He had one piece left, bro.
Max you couldn't wait. Okay. So all right, Ron was beating me in our second match and then he just messed up
He missed like bro, you could beat me legitimately you could beat me, bro
I mean, yeah, I know that
So Max how did you get a like stalemate did you mess up something like what happened, bro?
So if I'm if I'm if I'm if I'm being honest, bro, like if I'm being honest, I was really maneuvering. I was I started very good. I actually have a couple of taxes. I actually know how to beat a nigga in chess and two plays.
Like I have my openings. I had hella openings with a lot of versatile versatility, but what ended up happening bro
Bro, he's just being annoying. You kept talking about he has to take his shit
He was distracting me bro world world like phenomenon going on bro, and then it just kind of slipped through the crack bro
So max you know a two-move checkmate dead ass
To the truth, yeah, cuz I'm gonna be honest. I don't think a two-move checkmate is possible check is it?
No, maybe it is.
Is it?
And a one-star would stand out here.
No, it's not.
I think three moves is possible.
Three through three.
Max, somebody in my chat just said,
you had two queens and stale made it.
Yes, that's very true.
Wait, chat.
There's a two-move-checkmate.
There's a two-move-checkmate.
Let me see this.
Yo, I don't believe you guys.
I don't believe you guys at all.
There's a two-move-checkmate, actually.
Let me see to move your boss. Thank for that sub
Guys I
Don't believe it. I don't wait. Give me one sec JC because you know, I don't want to what's the shortest game
Come on your stream. I'll meet you
Chess possible, let's take a look here in this case
We have the fool playing with the white pieces in the 200 IQ genius playing with the black
Black pieces. Let's say White starts with a strong move. G4.
How is that a strong move?
Playing the grob. The genius is going to play E5 because he expects White to play F4.
We are 30 seconds away from round 3.
Same as the previous rounds. I'll start the first game and then it will automatically rematch 10 seconds later.
Will be in touch regarding who progresses to the knockout.
So please don't leave after your match.
And we'll tune in with everyone to let you know what the standings are.
Yes. Yes. Thank you.
All right, guys. Here we go. Good luck.
Okay, but chat, like, I see what you mean by the two move checkmate.
I do see what you mean.
But guys, at the end of the day, your opponent has to like Greek,
so it's not really possible.
Yo, Max. Good luck to you, man.
I'd rather get mid control here, I think.
Max, could you hear me?
Oh, he's mad at me.
Yeah, here.
Okay, wait, what's just happened? I just missed. Wait.
Sure.
Oh my god, Chad, that was terrible.
That was terrible. I'm wild and he could have just dicked my shit for sure.
Fully dicked.
I'm gonna just start taping shit.
That's type of nigga I am, take, take, take.
Max on chess LOL.
It should not be funny to you to see me on a game though, A1.
You understand what I'm saying?
That shouldn't just be funny, like step up, step up, if you don't do what I will,
That's all I'm gonna say.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Oh shit.
Oh shit.
This game's going really weird.
I really didn't want you to do that because now I can't castle bro.
It doesn't matter because I have no queen right?
I've been bowling all day.
I've been bowling all day.
I've been ballin' all year again!
Yo, are you even, bro, are you even locked it in the game, bro?

I'm going to take my shirt off when I lock in.
Jack, Joe's game?
All right.
Who's joking?
Hey, how did I?
Let's take a look back at Agent and Oni.
Max did really well considering he didn't take a lot of
money.
I'm going to take my shirt off when I lock in.
Jack, Joe's game?
All right.
Who's joking?
Hey, how did I?
Let's take a look back at Agent and Oni.
really well considering he didn't prepare and this was just his chest skill that he had.
Like he was up against literally the strongest. Joe and Jinxie I think were the top talents.
So if Max... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, three queens for Agent. He just has to...
Come on, Agent! He doesn't have to see the tactic, it'll come after him.
Come back time! We want to come back. We want to see a fair game, even game.
Come on, trade the rook.
You're watching, yes!
Oh my god, he didn't see the free queen last time,
but is he gonna see it now, chat?
I can't tell if he's excited by the Rook or the Queen.
He looks really, I think he sees it.
Hey, Jinxi, it's from Viking Zoom.
Yes, yes, yes.
I think he sees it.
If you wanna talk to Levy,
if you wanna give him a call on your cell,
now would be a great time to do it
while you're waiting for the other games to finish.
Thank you, thanks.
Just the only thing I'd ask is,
please don't leave the Zoom.
We had to lock it because there was a Zoom leak.
Oh my god, sorry.
Okay, I will not leave, I will not leave.
Awesome, thank you so much.
I'm 6-0.
I'm 6-0.
Levy, Levy, Levy, Levy.
Levy, I'm 6-0.
Yo, Levy, I'm 6-0.
How are you feeling right now, man?
Bro, I'm nervous because the strongest player I haven't played against yet.
I haven't played against the strongest player yet.
You know why?
Why?
Because you can't fucking play against yourself, bro.
Yes! Yes!
Bro, Levy, this is your training, bro, and my cousin.
training bro and my cousin you are my cousin seriously dude your games were so
good like I was really nervous during your game against Joe you you felt Joe
was good right dude I'm gonna be honest Joe played so good the second game he
was kicking my ass and he just messed up at the end. Bro, Levy did I have any major
blunders or no? Like almost zero but there was that blunder versus Joe where
You caught yourself.
Remember, you lost the Rook and then you didn't lose your queen.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Bro, I think One, the top four is going to be One, Joe, and Stake.
Joe could definitely beat me.
One could definitely beat me.
I don't know about Stake.
If I bring my A game, I could win this man.
You're definitely better than Stake.
I think the way it works is the winner of group A or B,
whichever is, I think that's you.
You're going to play Stake and Joe is going to play One.
OK, wait, so Joe's going to play Stake and then I'm going to play who?
No, you're going to play Stake.
I'm going to play Stake.
So is Stake the fourth seed?
Because wouldn't that be the highest seed?
Because I have the only one that's 6-0.
One stalemated, I think.
Yeah, but I think that's how it works.
I could be completely wrong.
But I think you play the second place of the other group.
Second place of the other group.
Okay. Yeah. No, I think you're right. I think you're right.
Um, bro, how do you feel I had a matchup against only how do you think?
Well, you beat him two times and I have observed his games and he is good,
but you are way more consistent.
Dude, the game that sealed to me that you're going to win the tournament is
the first game against Joe, neither one of you were blundering.
And I was telling the chat, like you've both played 24 moves.
You're 300.
you're gonna blunder something and then he blundered.
I was like, in those games, you just stall, dude.
Just keep your pieces safe and don't make a mistake.
Bro, yes.
Dude, and I kept looking for the checkmate
because I knew it was there.
Because I was down material,
but his queen was like, or his king was so exposed,
but it was hard because there was so much vision
with the bishop and the queen,
but eventually he just panicked and blundered
because, bro, Levy, in the last minute,
especially for all of us,
because we're all new to the game,
in the last minute, there's the most mistakes.
Like I just gotta make it to the last minute, mistake free.
Think about winning positions.
Like you said, think about how can I win this?
And then once I get there, it's like,
I need to be the one that doesn't fuck up.
But when they mess up, I need to capitalize immediately.
I need to capitalize immediately.
I cannot miss the opportunity.
Joe True with Ron, Ole's tail-mated.
Dude, and Ole is losing.
Ole is check-mated right now versus agent.
Oh, and he's losing it agent.
Oh, this is the agent seriously.
Yep.
Vass.
We could agent.
Agent has checkmate on the board.
We agent has checkmate on the board, seriously.
Yeah, right now.
Okay, he missed it, but on the next move,
it's like, it's like right there.
It's made on the board.
We own it's losing.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Wait, would agent sneak into the top?
He won!
Agent! What?
Oh my god. Oh my god. Agent's got to be so nice.
I don't think it changes the standings, because One has four and a half, but bro, he's beatable.
You're undefeated, dude.
Thank you, man. Dude, there was a couple of games that were scary.
The game against Ron, my opening was bad and it got clogged up so early. My opening got clogged, man.
Yeah. My best advice.
My best advice.
I got to get that bishop out, right?
Yeah, the second game against, um, the second game against, uh, uh, Ron, he like brought his
B pawns out and then he kicked your knight around. So I'll tell you this, the best way to stop a
B pawn is with an A pawn. Okay. Because he's trying to push his B pawn and attack your knight.
So just stop it with the A pawn. But whatever, dude, even that game, you bounce back and you
fought back, like you tilted. I think he was tilting you, right? Yes, I was getting mad.
Yes, I was getting mad.
And you locked in.
Like, that game, you lost your bishop,
and then your king was in the middle.
But like, all right, you lose a piece,
you just keep going.
You castle, like whatever.
So, yeah.
Oh my god.
Dude, I went 6-0, man.
I went 6-0.
Yeah, it's crazy.
It's crazy.
I cannot believe this, Chad.
I never thought this would have happened.
6-0, bro.
And then there was another draw.
There was another stalemate between steak and Emily.
Bro, I'm so glad I got my,
I'm gonna knock on the wood after I say this.
I'm so glad I got my stalemates out
on like my first couple of days
because I was stalemating all the time.
I mean, you remember, but now my school thought is just,
if you think it's a stalemate, just check them.
Just check them.
Oh yeah, dude, you had them,
you became stalemated.
It was like the second game because I don't remember
if it was Joe or Ray, but like you almost stalemated
Joe and you got out of it.
You guys are moving into the knockout.
Oh my god.
OK.
All the games are done, so you probably
have to play soon.
Something will let you go.
You guys are also moving into the knockout.
I'm going to try to win this, man.
You're 6-0.
Let's fucking go.
Let's win it.
You're free to go for today.
We'll be in touch next week regarding the prize money.
For those of you who are moving into the knockout,
there'll be more information shortly.
But the matchups will be Jinxy versus Stake
and Oney versus Joe.
Now, in this round.
So there's a little break here.
We're gonna move the breakout rooms a little bit,
but we're about five minutes away from games.
Five minutes, okay.
Now in this round, is it single elimination?
Like if you lose, you're just out.
Yeah, so the way it works is it's a single elimination
bracket, you play two games of five plus five.
If you're tied, you're gonna play a tiebreaker game.
That game will be a three plus two.
If you win your semi-final game, you'll play the final.
If you lose, you play a third place match.
And then there's a difference in prize money between third
and fourth place as well.
So yeah, technically it's single elimination,
but you play two games either way.
OK.
Now, if I win a game and he wins the game,
does it then go to the third game, like you said?
Yep, correct.
So if you guys draw both games,
then you're still going to play that third game
and that would be a three plus two.
And if you have any questions.
I don't think I'm an A.I. at all that you're supposed to have.
I haven't asked me to tell you that I'm not
on a regular robot.
Bro.
Okay, sorry.
I knew that.
I'm sorry.
That was really great.
Okay, I understand, I understand.
I got you.
You're good.
Any other questions?
I'm just nervous, bro.
Can I get a hug?
I need a hug.
Hey, listen, virtual hugs, man, virtual hugs.
Dude, I think I'm gonna play on a pixel in the final shot.
I need to win.
I don't know, but I could lose the steak.
I don't know, I've never played steak.
I've never played steak, like against Ron and,
well, I never played Joe either.
The only person I played today before was Rob.
I never played Joe.
I never played,
yeah, I don't know what steak's opening is.
Probably just the king on Monday night then.
I don't know what that's called though.
Bro, yo, hey, you guys are from chess.com, right?
The guys in the Zoom?
Yeah.
I have a question regarding, like, profile pictures.
Every time I get on chess.com, I just see, like, you know, I don't even want to say it,
but that's, it's just in my face.
Is there a way to, like, make it to where I don't see the PFBs?
Or, like, because it's just like, I just see Johnson's.
That's a that's a good question. I don't know if I've ever ever fielded that question before but
let me let me ask let me ask you wait before we start can I tinkle really quick can I tinkle
yeah yeah go ahead go ahead let me get i'm against some water i'm against some water
I'm playing my twin brother. If they grow, I'm playing my twin.
All right, guys. Brother versus brother is going to be a tough one. I've been training
for this all week. Everybody called me dumb. They called me stupid. They said that I would
lose. They said I would get last place, but I'm still here.
Hey, Stake. Welcome on in. I'm Mike from chess.com.
Hey, Mike.
It's nice to meet you. Jinxie just ran to go take a quick pinkel. And once he gets
back, we're going to get everything set up and get you guys in the game.
OK, sweet.
Pop in. Let's do it.
Bro, someone in this chat just said sperm versus sperm.
Excuse me. I have eyebrows now.
They can't be calling me that.
Wait, let me mute, I'm going to discuss my strategy.
Alright, alright, alright.
Top four, chat.
Top four, we didn't get first drafted.
We broke the curse!
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
How did you do in the other games?
I went undefeated, bro.
I haven't lost yet.
You haven't lost at all?
No, not at all.
But I will be honest, I almost lost the game.
I was losing a game to Ron and I won
and I was losing a game to Joe and I won
and they both kind of sold.
Oh, I was losing twice out of the six games.
Dude, have you been playing a lot?
I've been low-key practicing.
Me too, bro.
I played 22 days in a row, man.
22 days in a row.
22 days.
Yes, I got some training sessions, bro.
I've been training, man, I've been training.
Bro, stick, are you better or worse than One in your opinion?
Okay, so I will be honest, the first game I played against One,
I completely sold and I just killed my queen on accident.
It was really dumb.
Second game, second game, bro, I was winning.
Like I was super up and I was about to win.
But then he did some like jujitsu, jujitsu, jujitsu shit.
And I lost unfortunately.
I was going to win though.
I was it was close very close.
Did you beat him?
You guys played before, right?
Played twice.
Yes.
I beat him twice, but it wasn't really in the tournament.
We were kind of just chilling.
It was more casual.
I don't think it was.
Yeah.
I played him before and I won once, uh, but it was
cause he hasn't, he had a time disadvantage.
Yes.
Yeah.
I, I, um, I played him twice.
One time he had a time disadvantage.
Then the other time we had even time.
But yeah, I think I don't think he was like fully locked.
It was more of a casual match, I think, to be honest.
But I think if I play him, whoever wins between us,
because either of us can win, but like, whoever plays him in the finals,
you're going to get his best game.
Unless Joe wins.
Joe is like sleeper good, too.
Yeah, I think you are low key, probably the best player here.
Thank you, bro.
I'm being honest.
No glaze, no glaze, but like I saw you.
Hi, everyone.
Welcome to the knockout.
Congrats on making it this far.
As I mentioned earlier, it's Jingxi versus Steak.
in the first semi-final and one versus Joe in the second one.
It's the same format as the previous round.
It's a two game match of five plus five time control with a blitz tie break if needed.
Otherwise, whoever wins is moving on.
If you lose, you are also moving on to a third place match.
So please make sure to stay in Zoom as your day is not over.
And there is prize money associated with third place, of course.
If you have any questions, let us know.
Otherwise, we're looking to start in about one minute,
same as the previous rounds, I'll start the first game,
and then it will automatically rematch for game two.
Thank you, sir.
So no matter what, we have another game,
whether we win or lose, yeah.
Yep, you got it.
OK.
Well, good luck, little bro.
Good luck, bro.
Bro, we're like twin brothers, bro.
I'm going to be honest.
We're like twin brothers.
I don't want to fight against my own brothers.
What a fight against my brother.
Good luck, bro.
I wish you the best of luck.
May the best player win.
Yes, Stake, I just want to say I love you, bro,
and good luck, man.
Thank you, man.
I love you, too.
I'm going to try my best.
I'm not going to let this break up the family.
Don't worry.
Me neither, bro.
Me neither, of course, bro.
Thank you.
All right.
I'll see you soon.
OK.
I'm going to mute, Stake.
OK?
I'm going to mute.
Or, well, they kind of don't want us to mute.
Stake, do you want to mute or do you want to just?
No, bro.
I'm low key.
I got a mute cause when I unmuted against Oni, I was talking to him and he was like
getting in my head.
No worries.
Okay.
I'll mute.
I'll mute.
I'll mute.
I'll mute.
I'll mute.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
We got to win this, we win this, we beat steak, we make it to the grand titles against
probably One, but it could be Joe.
Joe had me on the ropes in that second game, but I kind of liked the format because if
you end up going one to one and you split, you end up just playing them in a three minute
which is kind of sick because I feel like when it's I don't know man when you
have less time I don't know if it's more or less skill maybe it's more like now
I think it's probably more skill you have less time okay guys here we go good
luck in your semi-final match oh my god block it semi-final against state if
we win this we'll probably get a face phone a pixel in the grand finals but
maybe gel some battles mistake
Wow, he actually has like an opening, but if he takes, I get my queen out, he's taking
more time. He actually has an opening. That's the double knight thing. Would it be crazy
to just offer a trade in this position? Yeah, that would be horrible. That would be catastrophic.
Because what would happen is that my pawn would go here and then my queen would just
and I'll be bad. Levy would definitely like spank me for that. Levy would definitely spank me in my
little... interesting. So, okay. He's gonna kick my bishop with this pawn. This happens every time,
which is the best move, I think. And then we're gonna trade. Camber was knight, obviously. Oh,
he ignores it. So technically we don't have to act on this yet. We could try to find another
play but I don't I don't really see another play. Maybe we get our night out and then Castle. I think
Levy would spank me if I didn't do that because now we're developing really good development.
He's gonna kick this soon. His next move is gonna be like something with his bishop.
Bro, I kind of beat him to the middle though. Let's think about white that's just OP.
You just beat him to the middle every time.
So, okay, I'm gonna like, I think his next play is to get his bishop out, and then he's
gonna castle.
Because he's not worried about my bishop.
You could also kick this as well.
I'm trying to not miss look, so I'm trying to move my mouse off the board.
Alright, that's interesting.
He's doing like a pond storm thing, I guess.
I'm gonna castle.
Don't think, just castle.
Remember what daddy levy said. Don't think just castle keep it simple stupid remember that chat
Good development really good development. I think levy would call this a good opening
We have a nice pawn chain here. We have good night vision. We have good
All right now. We forced our hand
now
I think our best play is to fall back
Ooh, this is a cheeky spot. Oh, no, no our only play to not lose our bishop is that
Yeah, that's our only plan.
I sort of want to get this out.
I want to get my Rook going too.
There it is, that's the infamous pawn kick.
Now we get his knight, bishop, take-take.
I'm going to stake a solid ground, I'm going to be honest.
Now, can we infiltrate momentarily?
I think I need to get my rook in this file.
You gotta get my rook in this file.
Lock it down.
Don't think.
Let the time tick.
We're up a minute.
We're even on material.
Stake is, I'm gonna be honest, Stake is the best player I've played yet.
I would say Stake is definitely the best player I've played yet.
I don't know why I keep doing that thing with the red stuff. I'm sorry guys. I'm just staining um
This is protected. Let's actually look this is protected. This is protected. Um, that's the same thing I did
I don't think I really care about that too much
Yeah, I don't think that matters. Um
Is there a way we could start to get frisky like with the queen maybe and get the queen
going and then get the rook in this file?
Because take, take, oh I should have did this because I need to get to this empty file
before he does because with rooks it's all, it doesn't matter actually how much because
you have the queen protecting it anyway.
if he moves this queen up that rook is fucking vulnerable. Like I mean like if this this this
happens I'm already there but his queen's out of here this could get weird. Okay now I can no longer take
with my queen. We're up so much time bro. I could tell he's nervous but I'm also nervous.
But I'm nervous but I have time so I have more time to be nervous.
This is an interesting night. I feel like I should have been did this. I feel like
Levy would spank me for not doing this earlier and I feel like my cousin probably spanked me for not doing this earlier.
I need to get this night here because the vision of this night is so good.
Also, this night is kind of protected by the bishop and we have something weird happening.
Is there anything wrong with moving this night? Nah, I don't think so. I think this is just a beautiful fucking night, bro.
I think this is a great night. It's protected, it's safe.
Cause then here's the thing, chat like a this, then we can start being weird, right?
Never mind.
I was gonna suggest this, then this, but dad, dad.
That's where it's like a death trap.
That's where it's like no man's land.
Okay, so he moves his queen there, so I'm just gonna instantly tell that queen to fuck
off.
Instantly tell that queen to go fuck itself.
That queen is not threatening me at all.
I'm gonna instantaneously tell that queen to fuck off.
If you take you just lose the game
So check what just happened there was he wasted a move and we got our rook to the empty file
Yep, he wasted a move and we got a look to the empty file now
This is a good night because holy vision
What is it fucking with the no?
This is a good night
And now our queen has a little bit more vision
This is a good night, bro, because holy vision.
I want to pop this middle open soon.
I want to wait for the prime opportunity.
This is the best game yet.
Stakes the best craft they've yet so far in the tournament, for sure.
I can tell you actually train.
Ooh, this is sexy.
This is very sexy.
Free pawn.
Bro, we're starting to take the lead.
I knew this night would be the answer.
Bro anytime you can get a protected knight in the center it's like everything just bro because look at this
Okay, finally castles finally castles his king's on an island
Guys, I think we just take this and then
Is his queen deck? Wait, let's map this out if I take this
It's protected
But also his queen goes there it's dead there it's dead there it's dead there it's dead
There no his queen is dead guys we just killed his queen his queen's trapped guys we just killed his queen
we just killed his queen
Bro he can't go anywhere
Tell me one spot that queen can go it can't go anywhere
His queen is dead
Ding dong the witch is dead
Oh my god, that's game! That is game! That is game! That's game!
This is why you remember the first thing Levy taught me. You never put pieces on the sides.
Ponsure! You never put pieces on the sides because it can only go this way.
First thing Levy taught me about it was, first thing!
Guys, he's tanking because he doesn't want to lose his queen.
But look, the queen can't go anywhere.
Okay, so he's proposing take
Have to take take take
Wait a minute that's check bro
He's fucked. He just sold his rope. What is he doing? What is he doing?
Let's create I forget what this is called my cousin taught me this I
Think it's called a barrage or something I
Forget the word for it, but okay, let me think about this
We're up 12 with time if I lose this I'm a sack of garbage
This is never bad because now these are protecting each other. I
Have so many pawns. It's actually disgusting. This is a low-hanging fruit here. Look at this
Vamo boy, I got a yo, but we trapped this
That was so well played it was all about getting the the night here, okay, he's threatening my queen
Wait, he's totally coming on blue now. All right. Let's think
The only way we lose this is by like completely trolling. If I take his night, this is a safe
play. I like this play more because I have more vision. I have more vision here with this play.
I like this play more. This is a beautiful play. I sort of want to force a rook trade.
Is that cray-cray? Is that cray-cray? Is that stahp?
Okay.
He's setting up, he's trying to, he's trying to activate his knight.
But yeah, now we just set up a rook trade.
Yeah, we just set up a rook trade.
Yeah, that's a free pawn and now we're threatening the knight.
But we no longer have our little barrage, but does it matter?
This is an interesting fucking bishop.
Is this bishop almost better?
Now this is better because now the knight has to move.
Just always be thinking.
If I can get a rook trade, this game is over.
My queen is literally tucked in a corner.
My queen is so safe.
Oh my god, he moved his rook.
That's good. That's good. That's good. Because you want to know why that's good chat?
Holy vision. Let me triple check this cross my T's and dot my eyes. I'm up so much time. Let's just burn it
If I take
But that was such a nice play trapping the queen chat. I'm actually so proud of myself
If I take it's completely protective and that's a free poem
We can start
Bro, if I can get this going it's just wrapped
guys look at this it's like a fucking it's like a fucking barrage also let's
not sleep on this I don't know he forgot about this am I in check no I'm not in
check relax let me calm the fuck down bro I just feel like this is such a
disgusting play this play needs to happen
Bro, I might get mated.
I'm gonna be, I could see myself getting mated.
No, that's just fear talking.
You can't get mated in this position.
That's just fear talking.
I didn't see.
I didn't see the bishop.
He didn't see it.
Oh my god!
I didn't see the bishop.
Oh my god, I'm so bad.
I'm so bad.
I'm so fucking bad.
I didn't see the bishop.
I didn't see the bishop.
I didn't see the bishop.
I didn't see the Bishop!
Jesus!
Bro, I didn't see the Bishop.
That can't ever happen.
Boys, I didn't see the Bishop.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Wait, that's me.
I'm not even kidding. That's me.
So how do we stop this? How do we stop this?
He's going for a checkmate right now.
If I take the night I lose the game.
This is how we stop it.
Wait, if I... brother.
Can we just lock it down completely? Let's just do that though. Let's just lock it down completely.
That's me. Take no prisoners. Take no prisoners.
I'm sure there was another way to maneuver, but there's no room for risk in this house.
this house. I'm sure there was another way to do it cleaner and better but now I'm all up inside
your king's ass well I'm all up in your king's ass. Excuse me was checkmate at? Am I not seeing
something here. I mean, we have an absolute fucking barrage on him.
Wait, bro, this motherfucker's trying to checkmate me, dude.
Bro, this motherfucker's trying to checkmate me. This is actually terrifying.
Bro, I'm gonna get backlined.
I almost want to just, even though this isn't the right play, I almost just want to do it just to fucking get my king another option.
This is starting to piss me off a little bit.
a little bit.
Alright. Checkmate? Bro. Oh no, I've lundered. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Now I've lundered.
I need to get my king another out, bro. I've lundered again. I've lundered again. I've
Okay.
Still up so much.
I've run the twice.
What am I doing?
I've run her twice.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
That's really bad guys.
I've run her two times.
All right, all I'm going to do is keep this queen safe and just convert.
I'm running out of time, Jack.
This is really bad.
I'm running out of time.
Bro, the only thing he has that threatens me is the brooch.
I blunder two that's got to be a world record of just ass
Yeah, I've blundered two fucking
Wait, hold up. I just found a fly wait, I might be able to meet this guy. Nope. He's too good for that
Check
I'm blundering so bad.
Check?
Oh my God, I misclicked.
No, no, I misclicked.
Whatever it is you see.
I misclicked.
I misclicked.
What even?
What even in material?
Wait, no, no, I misclicked.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, I misclicked.
I misclicked.
I didn't mean to do that.
I panicked because of the time. Oh my god, I had the game over. I had the game over. Oh my god. Oh my god
Oh my god
The game was over. Can I please convert? Can I please convert?
I'm not gonna be able to convert and like let me start eating ponds
There's no fucking way there's no fucking way
guys I'm so sorry guys I'm so sorry oh no I'm so sorry guys oh no no no that was really
bad guys I'm really sorry about that oh I've wondered so much the the time
constraint was not good I have to get his pollen and just hope he doesn't know
how to checkmate bro if he knows how to checkmate with bro if he knows how to
checkmate with a um Rook and a king it's wraps bro but he might convert man he's
gonna keep checking me maybe we could stalemate maybe we could stalemate a a
bro guys I'm actually really sorry oh my god I can't believe that happened
I can't believe that happened, guys.
Wow, I'm actually so depressed.
Please, stalemate.
Just take my pwn and stalemate.
What's a trick where I could get him to steal me?
This could be a stalemate.
If he messes it up, this could be a stalemate.
That's not stalemate? What? How's that not stalemate?
How's that not stalemate, man? Guys, I'm so sorry, bro.
we have one loop left no please tell me please tell me what's he doing what is
he doing yes yes yes Jesus fucking Christ bro good game good game oh we're
going again. Sorry.
Okay, we still made it. So level ones, this advances to finals.
Oh my God. Oh my God, did that actually happen?
That actually just happened.
I've wondered so much. I've wondered so much. Oh, I'm such a
piece of garbage on such a piece of human fucking feces right clear off the
mental completely reset mentally bro let's completely reset mentally and let's
play faster in the opening so I have more time in the end because I started
just fucking up because of time but I had so much more time that I thought
I don't know if I want to turn this into a trade game, but I don't know if I want to even do that again.
That was actually fucking miserable last time.
Let's do it, I guess. I mean, his king file is open.
Alright bro whoever wins this goes to finals. I can't believe you stale me. He's got to
be mental chalk. Bro I was up 14 and sold. Jesus Christ that can't happen bro. That
can't ever happen. Alright but now it's time to clean up the mental a little bit and
play some bed of chess. To just be honest he's getting us cleaned out early which
could just turn him to a fucking checkmate or not a checkmate. I could get checkmated or he could
blunder. I would love getting the knight in the queen vault. I love this file here.
Yep. I love this. Right, I can't believe you still made it.
For a set of having to win twice, if you have to win once, you got bailed, you got fucking
bailed out. Alright, now. He does that. But with this, we have a middle and night
with so much control, so much vision.
That night's protected by that pawn.
This is a good pawn mine, but the thing is
we have to castle this way now,
because if we're kings over here, we're just gonna lose.
That's a good little pawn brigade,
but we have to castle that way.
We're at 40 seconds.
Let's keep kicking his ass on time.
Bro, I was plus 14, man.
I was plus 14.
I don't wanna do a trade battle
because I think I could just win material
by playing proper.
Bro, at the end was a misclick,
but bro, blundering two rucks was not a misclick.
That was just bad game play by me.
All right, his pressure on this night's really good.
The thing is though, this is going to threaten his queen.
Ooh, this is better though.
This threatens his queen and it's more centralized.
Bro, that threatens his queen and it's more centralized.
I love that.
Yeah, I don't agree with getting your queen out early,
bro.
I feel like it's just bad.
Queen is threatened, and boys we have a disgusting little fork here too, because look, if this
queen moves to a spot where it can't defend this square, GG, wait.
Really good little queen move out of him, but I feel like there's got to be an angle
I have here.
Let's think, shall we?
Alright, if my pawn goes here, he can take the pawn, he can also take the knight, he
can take the bishop as well.
I'm starting to think that that wasn't a good play by me, because now I'm like trapped.
Wait, what are our thoughts on this?
Because now our knight's protected.
Yeah, our knight's got proper protection.
Our Bishop's safe safe and sound knight is safe and sound pawn safe and sound queen safe and sound
Our development is dog ship. It's always his ah, he has none of his books activated. Oh
This is a dirty check too
But does it mean anything? No, it doesn't all right now. This is the play we want it because why?
We finally pop it open. He's gonna take with the pawn
You could take with the queen.
Okay, fix with the pawn.
Now, our knight is safe.
We can do this pawn here to get our bishop
a little bit vision.
Now our bishop has vision.
We move our bishop and we can maybe castle.
Or I don't even know what way to castle.
This is a dirty check.
This is such a dirty check, guys.
I love this check.
Time's going down. Let's play a little bit faster.
But like, you gotta ask yourself, like, why am I checking this? I don't think it does anything.
The check would move his king here or here. Realistically, he would move his king here.
Well, I just... Now, why would he give me a pawn?
Oh, he's giving me a pawn. It's like a gambit.
He's giving me a pawn to that way.
that's not protected but I don't give a fuck about the pawn because I'm just gonna check him
he's doing that because chat he wants me to take that way my knight's dead which makes perfect
sense but then what if I was to do this right this is a cheeky bishop spot yeah I don't think
movie mac came up literally fucking anything or queen sorry
um this is sexy
oh wait i just lost the game i think no no i'm good
we stay cool com collected and we just reset we are down tonight though
or a pawn. But that doesn't matter because that was a 14 last game and lost. We just
got to find a good vision and attack it. Now we castle this way. Our rook has a nice little
line of sight. Really good castle. Now I think we should get our bishop going.
What do you think about this?
So that threatens the pond, but it doesn't really threaten the pond.
I gotta move faster.
Bro, that's clean.
That's clean.
We do get a Bishop trade out of it if we can find a way to trade out.
Bro, what if we move our pond here?
I'm trying to get like a vision of how I can win.
Setting up something like this could be sexy.
Bro, I just wanna infiltrate, man.
That's protected, that's protected.
My development is so ah.
My development is so, ah, I don't know what to do guys, I don't know what to do, I'm
not good at this.
Oh well what I should always do here is get my rook into an open file, a semi open file.
Your nice development is better than mine I reckon.
Trying to play fast just so I can fuck him on time.
protected I mean safe oh that's not protected wait but he just opened something up by doing that
yeah he moved his bishop so his pawn's hanging yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
my knight's hanging but it's not wait I don't think that was good of him to do that I think that was
fucking stupid for a steak was playing so conservative but that was not really conservative
We trade pawns, but I get better Bishop development and his his rook's on an island I
Need to get this night in the game, bro. I need to get this night in the game
Bro, I love this night because look it's protected by the Bishop. I love this night. Oh
He loses queen or his rook. Okay, he's threatening my rook
Let's just trade, man. Let's trade. Let's do it. Let's trade.
I'm up on time. Bro, this is good. I have like a fucking crazy development over here.
Okay. Now, if I do this, right, let's logically think here.
Ooh, this is beautiful. Wait, this pawn threatens the queen.
Oh, that's gorgeous the Queens finally in danger. His queen has to move
Brothers this is really good. We're up a minute and he's in a shitty position
Okay, take take the knight protects rook if rook dies
Knight protects the rook if rook dies. His queen has to move. You can't move it here. He's gonna move his queen back
He's gonna move his queen back or maybe here. No, he can't he's gonna move his queen back
Now that it's Queen's back, we can infiltrate with our Queen here because it's Queen's gonna, it has to fall back.
Yes, now we infiltrate here.
Wait, infiltrate right here.
This is good. We have middle control.
We have middle control. This is really nice.
This is very nice. And then we can move here.
bro wait I should have did that what am I doing I should have did that I would
have forked the bishop and look it's okay
I would have forked the bishop in the in the cool that would have been game-winning
that would have been game-winning guys we're still in a great position pushing
the bond was such a good play man bro if I move this queen out of the way
his bishops in danger bro this guy's in so much trouble now he sold I'm not
even kidding he's in time trouble too brothers bang wait oh my god the fork the
fork is there the fork the fork the fork is it a fork no cuz I lose my
rook I lose my ruuuuck wait could we like trade rooks and then I do the
fork bro why don't we trade rooks and then I do the fork because now I don't
lose it. Traded Rooks, but now I fork you. And now you're either going to lose your
you're going to lose your bishop. You have to lose your bishop. I'm playing so well
this game. You have to lose your bishop. Now, as long as you don't run to a piece,
this is over. He chooses to lose his bishop. Rowan's other bishop is in danger now.
Bro, is other bishops in danger?
Wait, he's blundering, he's blundering, he's blundering, he's blundering.
No, he's not.
He's choosing...
Who is this bishop?
No, no, he doesn't lose his bishop.
I would actually lose my...
Oh my god, he blundered his queen.
Is it a blunder?
That took me forever to see that.
He blundered his queen.
Yes!
We're going to the finals now close it out like a professional close it out close this
shit out brown like a fucking professional.
check. He's not checkmate.
Into the finals guys! Oh my god! I knew I found it. I knew I was trying to get...
G's in the finals. G's. Yo. Oh my god. That first game was fucking ridiculous bro.
I thought it was good. I thought it was good. Oh dude I messed up so badly on that one.
I hate a draw, bro.
It's okay, bro.
GG steak, bro.
GGs.
How about a second?
Yeah, bro.
That means GGs.
GGs.
I love you, bro.
Hey, guys, there's going to be a short break here.
That's all right.
Hey, guys, just until the final and third place matches, it's going to be Jinxie
and One in the final, and then Stake and Joe in the third place match.
Okay.
Oh my god, chat finals is the best player of attorney.
Oh my god, I didn't play him the entire tournament, but chat when we were.
All right, good luck.
Jinxie.
I hope you win bro.
I also hope only wins there.
I love you both.
Have a beautiful day.
You as well bro as well.
So, grand finals is against Onay Grigsler.
Now think about it like this, Chad.
When we warmed up today, even though it was super casual
and nobody was sweating, I beat Onay twice.
That has to be in his head.
It has to be in his head.
I'm sure he wasn't lost.
It has to be in his head.
Bro, we're still on the feet of it.
We have a draw now.
We have a draw, we have a draw.
Bro, the thing is, Chad, I'm mad at myself
and I'm also sad because I let y'all down
in that first game.
We daydrip, only in jail trip.
Bro, I'm sad to be, oh my God,
there's boobs in the screen, Jesus.
Guys, I'm sad because I let y'all down
in the first game, bro.
I was up 14 material and I drew, bro.
In those scenarios, just breathe and take time.
I almost blundered my queen in the last game.
I was gonna move my knight to attack the bishop
and take the bishop, but then I was like,
oh, I'm gonna lose my rook.
But then when I looked at it,
or no, I was like, oh, I'm gonna lose my bishop.
But then I was like, wait,
if I move my knight, my queen's dead.
But I'm glad I found that checkmate in one there.
Brachat, you wanna know the most overpowered thing
about chess, bro?
When you have a piece that is protecting a piece,
check the king.
Half of the time it's checkmate.
I'm not even kidding.
Cause the king is just in the corner like this.
It's just waiting to be touched.
I think it is guys we're playing on a pixel in the grand finals we're playing on a pixel called that before the finals. Okay.
We shouldn't even stalemated the first game he should have kicked my ass and we should have we should have been in game three right now.
Bro, that game was scary, but when he brought his rook down, I knew it was bad, because we
pawn traded, but his position was so bad then.
Because his rook had no vision.
His rook just had no vision.
His rook is in a shitty spot.
Guys, all we have to do is beat One.
Who is higher elo than us?
But if we beat him, that would be the most cinema finals ever if we beat him.
Is he nervous?
He's not nervous at all.
I'm going to go tinkle because I'm about to shit myself.
I'm going against one of my favorite human beings to ever grace the planet.
My guy.
Yo, Levy, what's up, bro?
My guy.
I think I was going to have a heart attack after that first game, dude.
I'm sorry, bro.
Plus 14 can never end in a...
Dude, you are like on another level right now.
That the game that you just played was unbelievable.
Dude, did you like that mate at the end, Brian?
Dude, you played like five moves in a row
that I said if you played,
I would like throw shit out the window
and you played five in a row.
Did you throw shit out the window?
Unfortunately not.
Oh, okay.
Bro, what if I win the finals, man?
Maybe, maybe you hit a little twerk, bro.
I might twerk if I win the finals.
Oh, the chat wanted to know if I had a fat ass
and I said I would show them if you won, so.
What?
Okay, perfect.
I'm gonna lock in.
Maybe I'm gonna lock in.
Oh my God.
Wait, I'm gonna go tink over the quick.
Cause I don't wanna-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You should go, you should focus.
I didn't wanna distract you.
No dude, you were great.
You just got nervous at the end of the first game.
So just breathe.
You're gonna win okay, I'm gonna go take bring it on back. Don't start at chess.com

Yeah, but I won't be talking a lot like later on bro once the time is 30 seconds, bro, which it will be GG
Then I can't talk
You're playing you're playing so fast, bro, should I be worried about this
I see that's good
Oh bad pawn alignments.
Yo chill, that's what I tried to do to my opponents bro, but guess what, guess what
you can see, guess what?
Yes, yes, yes.
Guess what?
Bad pawn structure bro, but on the side that doesn't matter bro, because I'm on
the castle on the king side.
Just like you.
Bang.
I'm gonna freak out my pawns on the right bro, fuck him.
This is tricky, this is tricky.
This is tricky, icky.
Send a little photo.
Can I see you?
I smell you.
I like the paint in this one.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Can I go here?
Wait a second, Junko.
Then she goes here.
I go here.
Right?
Yes.
I found something.
I could hear you, bro.
I think I found something.
Jakesy!
Take, take, take, that opens up.
What the fuck?
Am I playing in secret room?
Then I'm pinned. Okay.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Bumble, bumble.
Huh?
Bro, I don't really care about-
That's a boss moment, bro. I'm not even joking.
What if not?
Wait a second
What the fuck jungle am I stupid bang and then bang. Oh, what am I doing?
Kizal Kizal weapon look in jungle
Pop this open a let's pop this open. This is very what you want to pop it baby. It's gonna be tricky
Yeah, let's pop it open. Let's pop it. Let's pop it. Let's pop it fucking
Does he have a player? No.
Oh wait, my fucking knight.
Jeepers creepers?
Never mind, never mind.
That's hot, but that's different.
I think I go bang, right?
Bang.
Could do this.
Brown lock, right? A banana.
That's a mortar.
It's a trade, no?
Am I missing something?
Please don't tell me.
Are you like fully fended up?
What the fuck is this, bro?
Is this like the Gotham Chess Fortress type opening?
What is this, bro?
Ah, no, I still have this bad exchange.
I wasn't mapping it out as well as you did there.
I'm down three material now.
I didn't know I'm exchange. Oh my god. I didn't know that
She's done this I'm stupid what should I be worried chat I go here no
I can't really trade queens if I'm down material bro.
That's right!
Oh, bleat.
I gotta get this guy in the game.
Let's trick you though.
But who is this guy?
That is my question.
I got to get this guy in the game, it's tricky though.
But who is this guy?
That is my question.
I gotta get this shit out, bro.
I gotta get this shit but can't move anywhere, bro.
I think I do this.
Only thing I'm worried about is time, bro, if I keep it real.
I didn't count out the trades I could it's like I asked for five seconds
Do I want to open up my king? I don't know
How can I do a, how can I put them into a, you know, you know,
I don't know what that does, I'm not going to lie, I'm just going to do this, right?
I think it's trying to play the clock right now.
Remember this.
Ah ha, interesting bro.
So you're just going to go in and then out.
Doesn't show a lot of confidence.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie to you bro.
That was a good play with the good play.
Because if I trade, I just use, I can't trade.
I'm in a position where I can't trade anything.
So I'm like trying to overthink.
That's good.
I don't know what to do.
What?
I don't like that at all.
That is a sexy way.
I have to get like here.
Oh my God.
If I can just get.
What do I go over?
But how do I get to see it?
Ooh, that was bad, that was bad!
Wait, wait, the vision.
The vision is terrible.
Bishop can't see anymore.
That's good, that's good.
How do you see that, bro?
Oh my god, you're looked.
But I do one mistake, bro, and you just grab my arm, bro.
Like, I give you an inch, you take a mile.
Sure, bro.
No, no, no, relax.
Bro, I'm just thinking about this.
This, this, this, this.
No, I see something, I see something.
I saw this good.
No, no, no, no, it's bad, that's bad, that's bad, that's bad.
Was, was, was in a matter of a second.
That was impossible.
the real change for chest.
I dude, I messed up at the start, but I think this is
when I've a lot of good.
I was that bad.
How is that bad?
This is good for me.
It's not.
It's good for me.
You're seeing two seconds, bro.
Three, two, one.
Vamo, Vamo, Vamo.
Oh my God.
I've gone and bloody done it.
Not over yet.
Not over yet.
Not over yet.
What? Can you checkmate me?
I'm like a fucking cobra
Wait, look at this
Look at this!
You're about to shit yourself
No!
Don't tell me to checkmate
If checkmate pops up on my screen, I'm going to crash out
Um, okay
This wouldn't be checkmate
But
What?
This is interesting
Wait, would this be checkmate?
you can go here. Do it Jinx.
High risk. High reward bro. Let me do this first because I'm out of checkmate in like a second because then that, that, that.
What is this guys? This is checkmate. This guy's talking bro. He's giving you an ultimate and he says I'm going to checkmate you in a second.
What is this bro? Well I have a lot of good checks I do. I have a lot of good checks I can do.
Here we go.
Okay.
Holy shit.
Is that a boy?
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait, no, that's, no, that is checkmate.
I'm not even kidding.
No, no, it's not.
Wait, this is supposed to be checkmate?
I don't see it on my screen, Junko.
I don't see it on my screen.
Hold on, it's going to happen in a second.
Trust me.

I don't know that opening.
At all, I've never seen this car come.
Bro, Odey!
Odey, I can hear you in Zoom!
Mute, mute!
What am I thinking?
I'm trying to draw a line, but there is no line.
Kauru Khan baby shout out to my cousin Kauru Khan baby, holy bad development from on HF
Take take threaten take take threaten
Take take threaten
Get people check on us all the way
I'm doing that right it's just annoying as fuck for him to deal with
This is really bad Bishop it can only go here
Alright, let's not belong here.
She's annoying herself, I am.
Is it not?
Do I have a fork somehow?
The king is close.
Is this sexy?
No.
Bro, can somebody tell Oda I can hear her?
Okay, what's the next play?
I didn't mean to.
Can't lose the time again.
I need to activate this bishop.
It doesn't matter.
Maybe Rook over here.
My light just turned off.
Gigi, I have no more light, bro.
Take?
No more light.
Take.
Is that a sign, bro?
because then if he takes...
The fire is dimming.
We're about to lose.
Like, he's down to material, but I can't castle.
That's the only thing.
I was thinking about doing this.
I'll have eyes.
Yeah, yeah, if you can do it quick,
I'll have to take it away.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Wait, is this bro?
This is really bad for him.
This is like terrible for him.
Now I'm the one with all the vision.
I'm the one with the protected knight in the center now.
Holy palm chain.
Holy shield on the bishop.
Well, my development is actually really good right now.
Now keep it simple, stupid castle.
Remember what Levy said in chat.
Levy would slap the dogs about it.
Keep it simple, stupid castle.
Bummer.
Bummer, bummer, bummer.
Bummer.
He's offering a trade. We don't have to take it. We could take it after we cancel
We don't have to trade we don't have to trade the last game
I got into a hole, but I was able to just squeeze him out with time and just kind of outplaying
This game what I believe is going to happen
Is I don't know it's kind of truly to tell but I kind of want to get my rook in a position
I need to get mr. Knight out this way I can get this rook in this semi-open file
Yeah, all right. That play is a nothing burger. Let's do that.
But I have so much control of the man.
Like I know levy probably has an erection looking at this.
I have so much control of the middle of the board y'all.
Let me, I'm not even kidding. I bet you levy has an erection right now.
Now, do we take this trade?
Wait, we do.
Hold up. Listen to this.
Take with the knight, right?
If he takes with his queen...
Never mind. That doesn't mean anything.
I'm taking. I'm taking.
Bro, my development is...
I'm gonna win this game, like, for sure.
Chat, I might have won my first ever tournament.
I don't wanna get ahead of myself.
myself. Oh my god, that's such a bad night. I kind of want to leave that night there because
it's in a corner. Bro, is this not a good infiltration? I don't want to take what the
bishop, I want to leave his bishop there because his bishop's frozen. Is this not just
good wait let's pop open the middle trust me let's pop this open because my
next place this well no I kind of want to get my rope in its own lane I think
my next place should be this to get this night out I think we should pop this
open if you'll allow it I think we should definitely pop this file open
Um, I think that play is just terrible.
Yeah, I don't think that play is good at all.
Threatening literally nothing, just threatening a queen loss.
Wait, he just fucked up.
Wait, he left his bishop undefended now?
No, the knight's still there.
That knight's annoying.
Um, let's go here.
Is he cooked?
Bro, is he fucking cooked?
Bro, his development is so last right now.
I got mid control, so we started running to the corners. Let's play faster. We have so much control of the map
Bro Borski. Oh
That was a good play. All right, let's not panic here. We always panic here. The queen is threatening
Literally nothing it'll die to my queen
Guy to it could take a bomb I guess
Queen is literally threatening nothing though. I
Um, I think we need to do this, let me cook.
If I do this, he does this, but then I take his knight, he takes with his pawn, but then
we get a bishop for free because the knight's not projecting the bishop.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Think about it.
If I do this, he's going to kick this with a pawn probably or might it go.
So let's say, take, take, take, I'm up a bishop.
That's, that's turn it in a winning.
Take, take, take, I'm up a bishop.
Take, take, I'm up a bishop.
I do have a hanging pawn, but nothing else is hanging.
The queen has so much aura.
The queen's protecting the bishop, the knight.
Yeah, that's fine, but look at this.
Let me triple check really quick.
Yeah, knight's protected, rook's protected,
bishop's protected, pawn's protected.
Okay, watch this play.
This is my master plan.
Take, take, take, but now I get a free Bishop.
Look, I get a free Bishop.
I get a free Bishop, boys.
Actually look, because now the Knights,
I'm talking to the Bishop anymore,
because the Bishop was projected by the Knight,
and the Bishop was protected by the Knight,
and the Queen, but he moved the Queen,
and I killed the Knight.
So now the Bishop is undefended,
And guess what, we're forking, or we're not forking,
but we're attacking this one now.
Mataria!
Also, his queen is in like fucking Armageddon.
His queen is in Armageddon, bro.
Now let's keep cooking.
If I stack, now, but I don't wanna trade.
I wanna keep that knight there.
Levy has told me many times,
a knight is worthless on the edge of the board,
so it's not even gonna give him a trade.
That would just help him.
Let's leave that fucking knight there
for the rest of the game.
Our next play is pretty forcing.
We could go pawn here.
Pawn protects this.
Ooh, but does that open anything up?
No, that opens nothing up.
That opens literally nothing up.
Also that pawn could have to bite up a knight.
But if we go pawn here, we could start walking.
Rather, if he moves this pawn
at any point in time, it's game over,
because then I could do this.
Is there a forcing move to make that form move?
What is that bishop play?
That is such a psychotic play.
Okay, okay, okay.
Vamo, vamo, vamo.
Brother.
I'm seeing something scary here.
Now, let me cook.
But if I do this,
brother, I think I just won the tournament.
If I do this,
and then I do this,
that is checkmate.
I would have to sack probably my Rook though. You know what? Let's do this. No, I'd have to sack my Knight.
If I do this
And then the very next play I do this
His King
Or his King can go here
I'm forcing it. I don't need to do this. No, I'm losing my mind. I'm forcing it a little bit
I don't think I need to do this. Yeah. No, I don't need to do this. What am I doing? What am I doing?
what am I doing let's bring this right back to base wait a minute but we just
did something major because guess what that's open so that means that's open no
it's not the Bishop fuck I'm actually so bad a chest we're close to something
beautiful here I can just feel it I can feel it in the tip of my rod we're
close to something majestical we knew that play was coming we can just fall
back completely. We knew that play was coming. We're up on time again. We're up on time
again. Bro, sweeping and finals will be peak. This night, wherever it goes, it's dead, but
I feel something beautiful coming. I can just tell this is the most disgusting queen I've ever seen in my life
Bro chat hold up not yet though. It's not disgusting yet
Because no it is disgusting because he loses his bishop regardless this queen is disgusting
I'm fully fine with sapping this knight, guys.
Here's what's going to happen.
If he takes, I take, and then I move here, and then he has trouble with the rook.
Right?
This knight is protecting this rook.
This rook is protecting this rook.
This bishop is protecting this rook.
We knew that was coming, but now we take his bishop.
And now we cook because now that rook needs to move but because that rook needs to move
could we find something gross with this?
It depends where he moves it.
If he moves his rook here this file opens up and if that file opens up if he moves his
rook he didn't move his rook.
Oh no he doesn't have to move his rook I'm really stupid I'm very honest I'll check.
Wait a minute is that checkmate?
take protected corner dead dead dead yeah I think I just won the chest
tournament bro oh no but he's not in check we know no I did I won the chest
tournament that's checkmate oh no oh no oh no that's not checkmate oh no I
really thought that was checkmate guys guys I really suck
I don't love this. I thought I was going to be in a checkmate position. But now I'm not.
How do we bounce back from this is the question.
This is a forcing move.
He loses his queen.
I think I just blundered
Well, no, yes, no this week I didn't wonder but this is a fortune move
I'm plus two and it's Queens in danger
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Really is this checkmate
It's check what is it checkmate
I'm sorry, but he's gonna move here, he's gonna check me on the board.
I don't really know.
But there's this on the board.
He loses his rook.
I'm starting to get pretty naughty at Chas-Cas.
Yeah, that play doesn't really affect me at all.
He takes with that, he's gonna check again.
Wait, that's such a...
Or I can run his king to Neverland.
If I can run this king over here into my pond, he's just dead
Rubby's King is fucking dead
He's there a way that I could do something like this
Check
Bro this queen has no vision of anything that can't not go to that square whatever I do
He has to move here, but then isn't that, is this checkmate?
Well, this has to be checkmate, I'm not even getting it.
Um, that's check.
That's check.
How's he not in checkmate?
I'm so confused.
Uh-oh, that's why.
YES!
YES!
YES!
We won the chess tournament!

That ass, I did not think I was gonna win.
Dude, and you did it in the most like incredible way.
And I mean that good and bad.
Like, you had a scary moment.
The chat was like, I can't believe it.
He actually threw it.
And then you got, you clutched the draw.
You caught, you won.
Oh, that game was bad.
That draw against Stake was probably the worst.
Dude, the last game, the last game that you just played,
do you realize you blundered your queen?
Wait, right at the end, I was gonna pass out
and then he missed it and you check made it.
Wait, wait, wait, I blundered my queen?
Yes.
Did he have a corner or a rope or something?
I didn't, how did I blunder?
What happened?
Oh no.
Levy, are you serious?
I blundered my queen.
Yes.
Oh my God, I need to look at this,
I'm not trying to be like, oh, you won, but you can still get better.
Dude, it was like, I was, it was so dramatic, dude.
It was, it was so dramatic.
You clutched it, dude.
I don't even know.
Bro, like also, dude, I don't know, but I'm like addicted to like, bro,
when you, when you can check a king and you have a piece that is protecting it.
I swear to God it's checkmate either the next move or that move every time. It's actually insane
It doesn't matter if you're down material. It doesn't matter if you're down material if their king is like kind of fucked
You can win it doesn't matter if you're down material the game against. Yep. I think it was Joe. I was down material. Yep
Yep, and dude the game that you were beating
Steak he just terrorized your king with one roof
I'm just moving my green screen, my headset's off for like two seconds.
Guys, that was...
Sorry, not the unpack.
No, I was saying the game against Steak, like you had such a huge advantage, but he just attacked your king. That's all he did.
And he got you so shook. Crazy.
Yes, bro. Levy, thank you.
Oh, uh, chess.com want to interview you, so they told you to come back to the Zoom Audio, because they want to do a winners interview with you on the Chess.com broadcast.
Oh, yeah. My first interview. Yes, okay. Yes.
And then we can call again when you're done.
I'll see you shortly, Levy.

Gee, gee, bro.
Wait, I'm sorry.
Oh, yeah, I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
You're good, you're good, you're good.
Oh, by the way, I think Levy just told me
I blundered my queen in the last game at the end.
bro yes my chat told me as well bro I didn't know bro I didn't see it I didn't see it
dude it's hard to see it's easy to say when your heart's not beating it's easy to say
bro I did not see it bro it was right at the end bro when you were trying to put me
checkmate right my queen was targeting your queen bro and I would have been it would have
been full up you couldn't have even traded bro gg bro the queen incident hell no gg but
it dude to be fair it's easy to say bro when there's like 20 seconds left you're just
if you're just seeing Brad, bro, it's you're just panicking, right?
You know, robot GC, you're so locked, bro.
I said, I said it, thinking that you were not mutable, but it's like,
you learn fast, bro, you learn so fast.
Thank you. I played some chess before, like, bro, you're locked.
Bro, thank you for letting me again.
You were the one who told me.
Yeah, I'm definitely better than you, bro.
I just, I got to play more, I think.
Well, it's fun. No, I swear chess is not a bad game, but it's not.
Can you revive chess, bro?
I don't know, it's like the most popular game ever, bro.
I know bro, I know, but it's always when you play a game, GenC is reviving it.
No, I like chess, bro.
I want to get to like a thousand people, but I think that's going to take two years off my life, bro.
I'm not going to lie.
No, no, no, GenC, GenC.
Road to gem, road to gem, you got it.
That's not, I don't think that's even possible, bro.
Wait, no, I refra...
Oh, no.
I'm back, I'm back.
Tyler on shoulder chat, how good is Tyler?
Congrats, JXC and Nona for making it here.
We're just, we're getting everything set up
with the broadcast team right now.
So as soon as that's ready to roll,
we're gonna get this interview going.
They're gonna interview both of you guys at the same time.
We'll knock that out and then that's gonna be it.
And the crazy event, you guys both played great.
So yeah, super, super grateful to have you guys here
and awesome stuff.
Thank you guys for the opportunity.
This was like so fun.
This was so fun.
Absolutely.
Yeah, thank you, man.
Thank you.
Jinx, did you also draw a couple of games?
Oh, sorry.
I drew one game.
I drew one match, one match.
Bro, I drew two, bro.
I don't know what to finish.
It was the bloodiest draw ever.
One day, I drew and I was up 14 material and time.
I was up time and 14 material and I drew.
No.
My chat was having an answer.
I was up.
She thinks I had a queen against X-Frimerly.
I had a queen and she only had a king, bro.
I had queen, queen and king.
And I fucking drew, bro.
Jesus Christ, really?
You had to wait.
You drew with, oh no, I saw that game.
I saw that game.
Bro, you just had to move your queen
to where your king was protected.
What have it made?
How did you know that?
Because the king can protect the queen.
Oh my gosh, bro.
Like, oh my gosh, bro.
King, queen.
I'm gonna have nightmares.
Oh, guys, congratulations.
Let's take you guys into the interview scene really quick.
I'm so impressed with both of you, by the way.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much.
We fought hard for this.
You know what I mean?
Blood sweat and tears and this.
Now you trained for 20 days in a row.
You were saying how many days
and you didn't miss any chest a single day?
My chest.com, the hot meter thing is 22.
So 22 days in a row.
I mean, not all of them was training.
What?
But yeah, I was playing on my phone
two in the morning raging like I was committed to this I wanted to win I
really wanted to win. We were so impressed with the tactics you were seeing and
the way you were explaining them I think you're actually really underrated are
you gonna keep playing chess? Yes I want to get to a thousand elo I told my chat
I want to get to a thousand elo even if that takes two years I just want to
get there because I think that puts you in the top 20% right?
I'm on the stats on chess.com.
I don't know.
Well, I'm trying to get in there.
I'm trying.
You are saying this is the first time you've won first note.
I'm not trying to roast you.
I just heard that from yourself.
Yeah.
So basically in tournaments, my chat sort of just
refers to me as first round Frank.
I always lose the tournament in the first round.
But I won, I finally won.
I thought I was gonna lose in semis to stake,
but I won, I don't know, I won.
Jinksy, Jinksy, same for me, bro.
I always get eliminated first.
You'll see us tournament first,
your final tournament first, your R6 tournament first.
What is the final tournament, bro?
I got the first shot in all of those as well.
I didn't push that final, bro.
Holy shit, holy shit.
But it's nice to win one, it's nice to win one.
Yeah, and you were so well too.
You were so obviously one of the favorites in the tournament.
How much chess did you play before this?
I checked my chess to come.
I don't know.
I played when I was young in the primary school,
but you were the king when you knew how to castle.
It wasn't serious.
Wait, so you didn't train for this?
You didn't go any games before.
I did today.
Like, I hopped in a call with a Fida master, Kiki,
shout out to him, bro, double coach.
And he told me some things, he told me some things.
So, but yeah, a little bit, yeah.
And James-
So all K of trade.
Well, yeah, a little bit, like three house falls.
But, James, you can easily reach 1K rating more
because Andrea right now, I think you speak, Andrea,
you said that I was 1K rating,
like, you'll be eaten off this guy.
You know, James, you know,
if she said that I'm 1K, bro,
you're probably there, bro.
Well, okay, I don't think you're 1K.
Well, I know.
I think you went to 400.
Yeah, listen, you had 1K,
You were 1100 before the tournament started, but still not to understall yourself because
the elo that you are was very solid.
But um, you know, maybe we need to-
Andrea, Andrea, just real quick.
It was because I was playing one game with the coach in my ear.
I don't know if that's allowed.
That's not allowed.
I'm sorry.
But I was playing one game and then Chester comes up, yo, yo, yo, you're correct.
You're correct.
I was listening to my coach and then it's like, one thing, I'm not gonna lie.
Yeah.
Usually-
It's the one game.
I'm sorry.
I don't think One knew that.
That is what he frowned upon.
I don't think he knew that frowned upon.
I did not know I did not know I did not know what it's like the nice guy ever he
did not know that but I wouldn't I'm sorry I'm sorry one game only one day and you
were right actually a thousand is top 20% so actually if you get there which I
think you can you'll be top 20% in chess let's go I think you have to do it yes
that is my goal that is my goal and if there's ever another pod champs like I
hope I'm just way better than I was in this one because I was still
of blundering a lot, you know what I mean?
Yeah, but you also saw a lot of really complicated tactics.
Yes.
And already, are you going to play any chess?
Are you going to try to make it to 1,000 without somebody
in your ear, maybe?
Maybe, maybe, yeah.
It was fun.
It's a fun game.
I'm not going to lie.
Very fun, very fun.
Yes.
Jigsaw, we need to rematch the role.
I need to rematch your own point of role.
Train for like a week and we play again.
Just train, train, train.
You've got to be 20 minutes in a day.
You train with Gotham.
I train with Kiki bro.
rematch to mix. Yeah, I'm down. I'm down. I'm down. I'm down. I'm down. I'm down.
I have to ask for both of you. What are you going to do with your prize fund money?
Chat kept saying you're just going to go spend it on cases.
No, okay. All right. I might spend some of it on cases.
But I think I'm probably just going to give most of it to my chat.
I think I'm just going to do like a Twitter.
You're shy, so now you're putting me on the spot, bro.
Now you're putting me on the spot.
Like, I'm gonna do it.
You'll chill.
Chill.
You do what you want.
We won't judge you.
I want him to do cases, bro, and I'm on the spot.
Yeah, maybe try to do it one more time.
I guess, I guess.
I guess, I guess.
Yeah, something to check for sure.
Something to check for sure.
The rest of you can take some.
I definitely got to give something to my Chad, yes.
Probably most of it.
Same, same.
That's very sweet.
Well, before we let you guys go, I just, I was telling Chad, but you know,
Usually when you're hosting for big streamers,
there's always like ego and it's always nervous,
but drink scene was possibly the nicest person
ever to communicate.
I've been spamming the entire time
and it's really an honor.
Like this was one of the most few chess events
of the year by far.
So you guys really made chess history
and thank you so much for putting this together,
inspiring people.
It really means the world to the chess community.
So we're really grateful for everything
you guys both needed.
No, thank you guys for reaching out.
Thank you.
You guys didn't reach out
at what had never even happened.
You know what I mean?
It was really fun.
It was easy to set up too.
It wasn't even hard to just get on the website and then all the chess people did it.
You made it happen.
Yes, thank you.
You made it happen, I was worried, I was so nervous.
But I hope to see both, there's never a pod champs.
I really think both of you could compete versus the big dogs.
I hope you guys keep playing.
Obviously with the progress you can make,
I think you're gonna come for Tyler won pretty soon.
God, yeah.
Okay, that's great.
We'll see.
Wow, fighting worth the drag.
I mean, you know, he could take him.
He could take him.
maybe in a year, but I think it's possible.
Yes, thank you so much.
Thank you guys, thank you so much for organizing.
No, just shout out to chess.com for setting up.
It was really fun and easy to play.
It wasn't complicating.
And thanks to everybody that played.
And yeah, it was awesome.
Yes, and before you play this game chat,
Google what a staring mate is, bro,
because you don't want to get a staring mate.
That is the number one most tilting thing.
When you're up 10 pieces, and then you try to finish it,
And then all of a sudden the Stan made pops up.
Do you think you have a checkmate?
Stan made thing.
What the hell?
Yo, what if you came up with that rule, bro?
If you find out, can you let Max know
he was a bit upset as well?
Yes, yes.
I will text Max about the Stan made thing.
I'll send him a YouTube short of it, how it works.
I didn't even know what it was until Levy taught me it
literally a week ago.
And I was Stan mating all the time.
Oh.
Thank you so much, guys.
This was awesome.
Thank you guys so much.
It was a pleasure to talk to you by chat, by JXC.
Bye, honey, lovely, watch it.
Bye, bye.
Oh, my God, chat I actually want.
Levy, roll that.
Give Levy a roll, that's guys.
Chat, here's what I'm going to do.
First place prize was $30,000.
Chats just said, congrats, JXC.
Thank you to Chats.
Guys, first place prize was $30,000.
I don't know what I'm going to do with the money yet,
but chat, majority of the money I'm going to give to you
And then whatever's left over I'm not gonna lie. I might spend it on cases. I'm just gonna be full transparency
Well, I'm probably gonna burn the rest but majority of the bro 30 grand that is insane
Majority of it. I'm gonna say you know what let's actually do to give away now. Well, I'm gonna pick some of the winners
Well on Twitter challenge you to give away now
I don't know how much I'm gonna give away, but I'm gonna give away most of it
I don't know. I might give away like 20 grand to the chat and then maybe the other 10 grand we spend on
Streams or maybe we save it for another prize pool for a tournament. I don't know yet, but chat
Let me make a tweet right now Jen
We want to be in the giveaway just like and retweet and I will DM some of the winners tonight. Um, I

The next major event will be the erection of that large inflator
ARRECTION!
Oh!
Wait, what?
ARRECTION?
I'm sorry, what is that?
Oh wait, I need to call Levy, I need to call Levy, I almost forgot, I forgot!
I forgot my glorious kink.
Levy, Levy, Levy, what is up, bro?
I'm back.
No man, I just wanted to, I just wanted to connect one last time before, you know, we, we,
we wrap up this, uh, beautiful story.
I, I, I don't, bro, Levy, it's because of you, bro.
It's because of you and my cousin.
If it wasn't because of you guys, I would have lost in probably the semifinals.
If not, maybe I made it out of group stage, but then I probably would have lost in the semifinals.
I'm just going to be honest.
You're the goat, Levy.
No.
You're a great teacher.
I appreciate it, man.
And you know, it's really good.
You made that time with your cousin because, like, I can send you videos and whatever,
but I know you're busy and you would have to wash and it's good.
He taught you the openings because, like, you were getting good positions every game.
So, yeah, no, it's great.
middle control I was getting that middle control dude and once you get the middle control it's just
like everything falls into place I swear you're now and your clutch level today like finding the
good moves and avoiding the bad ones was like 80 to 90 percent so that's what you need in chess
you're never going to get to 100 so mind-blowing dude like there was some moments I was I could
not believe some of the moves you were pulling off like the comeback against stake was was
was legendary. So it was, um, thank you. I thought it was bad. Yeah.
Cause we drew the first game and wasn't I losing the second game?
I think that was losing.
You were, you were worse. Like you didn't have a losing position, but then you,
you, yeah, you countered him like in an insane way. And, uh,
my favorite was predicting like some of your moves. I was going to be like,
Oh, he's definitely going to do this good and bad. But, um,
are you going to keep streaming or are you going to rest?
I'm going to be streaming for like 30 more minutes. Uh,
and then I'm just going to do a giveaway with like my chat,
I'm going to be shooting for like literally 31 minutes.
Awesome.
Well, we don't have a big tournament to build to,
but you know, anytime you want to play some chess
and build to 1,000, man, I'm down.
I'm always down, bro.
I'm always down.
And thank you so much yet again, Levy.
Thank you seriously.
No, you're welcome, man.
This is crazy, dude.
You played one game in a match versus Ron,
and then I made that video, and then our chance
for like a cleanest game.
Bro, it was like a snowball effect.
Dude, I wasn't expecting anything from that.
Like me and Rob were doing this bro v bro thing
where you want to be one in every game.
And I was like, all right, let's just play chess.
Why not?
How do you play chess?
I saw your video, I saw your whole breakdown of it
and I got really into chess.
I don't know what it is.
Like just listening to you talk about chess
and that was bad.
Like I'm way better than I was now.
But when I saw your video,
I wanted to just play more chess, bro.
And then eventually I texted you and we streamed, bro.
And I just, I'm like addicted to playing now.
Like I play when I'm not even streaming.
When I don't stream, I just play in the car on my phone.
I'm not driving if I'm gonna be on chess.
Obviously, I don't wanna crash the car,
but you give what I'm saying.
Like two in the morning, I'll be on chess.
I'm raging at two in the morning.
I'm addicted to it.
I love it.
I don't know.
I did, it was awesome.
Like I didn't know, you know, I made that video
and I didn't know you that well.
I mean, I just know, you know,
you play video games and you're like this
huge content creator.
So actually when my chat was like,
oh, he's reacting to it.
I was like, oh, shit, he's going to like roast me.
But you were like super cool.
And then, yeah, like that day, we hit each other up.
And I had the flu.
And then like a week later, we did our first lesson.
And I think it takes two cool, humble people
to get something like this done.
And three weeks later, dude, I think
we just put on like the biggest chest
tournament of the year.
Like you guys had insane views today.
Like unbelievable.
Like that is crazy.
I mean, I'm pretty sure there was like probably 200,000
people watching chess, bro.
That is insane.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I had like, when I stream, I have two, three K, because I don't stream that often. I had like 28,000.
Dude, that is insane. Oh my gosh.
Bro, yeah, I'm so happy. That was so fun.
Congrats, man. You deserved it. And it was not easy. And you got it done.
Yeah, you'll remember this forever.
Yes. Thank you.
All right, let me, I'm going to go watch this NASA thing. And then I'm going to go give away somebody to my chat that I just want.
Cool, man. Congrats and we'll be in touch. Yes, be in touch, man. All right. See you love it. Yep. Take it easy
Yeah, he's such a go bro. I actually love levy
Bro chat. It's funny because I played Ron. I
Wasn't expecting anything like we were just playing the bro v bro
And we were just figuring out games and I spent chest of neutral game because we were broke 100 ago literally
We stay all made it and I barely won
And like I saw let me react to it. I didn't can see you guys told me let me react to it
And I already knew who Levy was because my cousin like loves Levy like he's been watching his YouTube channels
For for like years now he watches all of Levy's videos
And I just really watched Levy's video and just the way he was breaking down why every play was so
Catastrophically bad. I was like wow, I'm so bad
I know I could improve fast if I put my mind to it and yeah, bro
I did not think we were gonna win that is insane, but yeah, we did shout out to the levy, bro
I just couldn't be more proud of the entire work. We'll do the giveaway at like
