pfft, they're all bad at chess LUL
gotham doggo react to pokimane* daddy doggo: are you winning son? Also daddy doggo:...........
Wtf do these losers play chess too lol
Nobody cares
Wait wait wait... She went against daniel negreanu? Poker pro daniel negreanu?!!!
neeko : ok boomer sardoche : mais putain mais c'était sur!
Shit I just learned so much from that commentary
Pokimane had him both times lol
I'll allow it, i forgive you pokimane
Levy has been going full on content god lately. Big props to him, it's so entertaining to watch.
Thank you Levi for your work I love your content and the way you go through the games
For 660 player very good games
Okay, this is epic
hrworld.info/home/video/hsyThst-noR7o5k.html
o i beat all bot of pogchamp guy in chess.com
You're actually pronouncing Sardoche the right way! And Hikaru, that knows some French, is not pronouncing the 'o' the right way haha so don't worry
When amateurs start playing engine moves, tactics,counterattacks and pawn shreds at critical times you know you wasted all those years to improve and still couldnt reach that level.
Gotham we love you
...I'm blown away by that opening play in game one, either Poki's got some chess talent or these coaches be booking people up hard
nice job Levy.
Man she is under her rating! I am jealous, for a 660 that's more than good,
pokimane went after a smaller youtubers advertisers and should be cancelled
Buddy, watch out. She is a simp maker
Gotham really doesnt like the laddermate :D
Guys. She had A good coach her coach was hikaru I'm not surprised how she could find those incredible moves.
Gotham do be simping tho
plans chess better than heads up
Please do more of pog champ re cap it’s really cool and interesting
Ohhhhyaaa
Poki has shown hella potential. Scary (in a good way)
25:00 my favourite moment of the video. Imma take some notes
All this looked like to me is simply lack of experience on both sides. Dnegs would usually get himself into trouble and have to get out of it. Poki would have a great early and mid game, then a couple of uncalculated moves would lead to a loss. Great games by both hope to see more.
You pronounce sardoche correctly 😉
This game is stockfish compared to Rubius vs qxc
Kudos to Levy for keeping it respectful, entertaining and educational... not good games though
The festive insulation contradictorily drag because palm scientifically please notwithstanding a lewd bench. bad, aspiring desert
The sexism against poki in the comments is unbelievable. Men aren't inherently better at chess then women. And obviously she wasn't cheating. Get a life
wait until all the kids learn that chess was dominated by women up until 1950s. Also the first chess grand master ever was a woman
Pogchamps is lit. These videos are so fun! Ignore the crusty elitist screaming REEEE dubov REEE aronian REEE MVL from the rooftops. They obv don't care about growing the popularity of the game.
Hard to believe the 600 idiota handled a 1k xD
You pronounce "Sardoche" pretty well for someone who doesn't speak french :)
The reason Levi is one of the top Chess HRworldrs is because he makes the game so accessible to people trying to learn the game. Which is why people are watching Chess on HRworld... Smart. Haters don’t see it!
Poki has surprisingly good instincts and tactics but lacks experience. I think she can at least reach Hafu's level if she put more practice into it.
"The opponent can always blunder" is so true for ranks under 800, as in my last game against a 600 level player, she made a queen from a pawn and then stalemated with a rook.
23:30 Now that's what warlord xQc refers's to as - "A TRIFECTA", although Lord usually does it with a queen, but Benji tried his best it seems 😂🤣
Pokimane played pretty damn well.
lol she's so dumb
i came to see the insulting comments, dissapointed i dont see them
I've noticed in my bottom-of-the-barrel life on Chess.com (rock solid 600), there are a lot of 600 and 700 that are just really underrated. I've watch Levy tear down a lot of games from 1000 to 1400 players that make more blunders than a lot of 600s. Pokimane is a great example of that
HRworld and Chess Streamers: Online Ratings don't matter Also HRworld and Chess Streamers: WHEN WOULD A 500 BELOW PLAYER DO THIS
What’s the time format
I am such a Simp for Pokimane that chess.com changed the rules for my account and now i get check mated whenever my Queen is under attack instead of King.
*I have replied*
@Pure What do you mean ,sir.
nah this one an L
Love the pogchamps recaps!!! Analysis of amateur games is really helpful, to those hating because of the streamers featured, they need to grow up
Didnt take long for pokimane to hop on the chess wave.
Pokimane really shouldn’t be playing chess lol
9:44 The computer stopped drinking for a bit, FOR A BIT
Pokinmane is lower elo than Neeko? Impossible D:
Sorry, Levy is awesome and we all love your videos.. but not consuming products with Pokimane :(
"I refuse to take vaccines" has the same energy as your comment
go watch the last part of his newest chess video, go away. we dont want you here.
Congrats to Pokimane on beginning her chess career! As someone who is Just getting started in learning more about chess to hopefully improve I enjoy seeing other new people enjoying the Game.
Check-Zam by Pokimane
Ok, so, I beat Pokimane's bot on chess.com in one match, (I mean come on she's rated 660). But now, this game has SCARED me. After watching the recent Pogchamps, I think that I will resort to playing the hippo against the celebs.
Imagine losing *Cries in 1,5k*
This is not the content I'm looking for - but that does not mean I gonna dislike it?? Why can people just ignore it? Next video is perhaps a video you (and I) enjoy. Stop with the hate and dislike...
Honestly the going through the comments is one of my favorite things
Same
Do a video on the Medusa gambit.
Nice reply to the armchair GMs
holy shit the 1st game's opening looks like some serious prep on poki's side, that or insane instinct and calculation for her level... with a dose of luck
when i checked pokimane's engine today she's now at 1000??? :0 amazing
Yep quick learner yters/streamers
Great video as always!
hi
some twitch skank starts playing chess..................13 year old twitch viewers go bananas!
I like your passion when doing the analysis man, keep it up, been learning a lot about chess for these past few weeks
Not kidding i learned a lot, especially from the first game and today i used this game as reference to play the best game in my chess career. (btw i am rated 1479 at the moment and my highest is 1596) www.chess.com/live/game/6574274038?username=labib_kazi
s i m p ok
Forget all of these cancerous haters. Keep up the amazing work, Levy! I am going through my Chess lessons and it makes me so happy to see you giving coverage to people who aren't just Grand Masters. What we should all be excited over is that Chess is finally getting the attention it deserves and is inspiring more and more people to learn it. As a community, this is a major win.
Basically 2b2t
@Piggy!!! they're just gate keeping, saying these streamers and levy shouldnt play chess
I really dont get what rubs people the wrong way Levy is literally doing his job as a coach and doing what he likes regardless of the creator, be covered all the games of that day!
U guys need to lower her chess bot its 1200 took me 3 times to beat her
@G and who r you ?
And who are you exactly?
Use DNegs in a sentence. _I don't associate with DNegs._
Levy lowkey simp, mann
nah dude look at your profile picture go make friends
Respect to analyzing a 600 level game. Even though we don't want to admit it, like 50% of Chess players are below 800 rating and seeing games at our level helps us learn. Sure high level games help us learn too, but I honestly feel that I understand what's going on more here than I would a GM game.
Hello there
I mean if everyone was a GM it wouldn't really be a "prestigious" title now would it?
Feels like the low rated players trained a lot off stream, since most "imbalanced" games ended up very tight
And i thought that chess comment sections would ne civil LMAO
I’m kind of impressed with the lower rated players really, poki found some really good ideas specially in the opening, Neeko and themyth were NOT playing like an 800 and 400 respectively at all
I hate that pogchamps 3 has such bland boring streamers, but at least they played very well.
Yeah charity donator mrbeast *sucks* That's what you just said
This videos are actually really good for helping new ppl learn important principles. But also just how crazy the games are. I wish GM games were like this haha. I really think top GM competitions should be Fischer random so theres limited preparation and it's literally your chess skill. Thoughts levy?
*these
Damn Daniel poker and chess champ😳
Can anyone tell me how to improve that much in few weeks
Honestly, the best thing you can do is play a lot and then go back and analyse your games afterwards. You’ll just start picking up on a bunch of little things that you can do to improve by learning from your own mistakes.
GRIND
luv ur vids
it is never 64 sq...
at 24:17 the second best move could be move the bishop to attack the rook on the back rank no?
I get which bishop he means but it still does nothing but attack the back rank rook which is equivalent to nothing
I still don't understand after sitting here rewinding and thinking about your comment for 10 whole minutes
Yeah you need to say bh1 or something cuz idk what you mean by that
I mean it does nothing
It's so funny how Hikaru pronounces Sardoche
Love the tournament. Great seeing people who are not chess gods play on this stage.
you do a great job making chess a top sport and I like that very much - thanks!
I feel like most of these lower rated players could climb the ladder pretty fast with their superior knowlegde
What's next? Porn stars chess championship?
@W H every time you lose a piece, you lose a piece of clothing
Strip chess would be super hot ngl 😂
Wtf
That would be class but I have no clue what you mean by that. Care to elaborate?
????
thats what i play wtf
Extremely impressive by pokimane. I'm 1400 and she would have likely blown me out in that first game with her opening prep. Also, Daniel may have the American flag next to his name but he is still a fellow Canadian dude.
People who play the Englund gambit don’t deserve human rights. I’m sorry, I love DNegs and I’m rooting for him heavily, and I KNOW he likes aggressive gambits. But holy cow it hurt my soul.
@Urjit Khatua then you have chosen.... death
It's a one trick
I play the englund :/
+
Why do people hate poki like wtf what did she do.
There was this whole controversy about her supposedly abusing copyright laws, and even though it was debunked, the hate drowned that out. There was also a drama based on this guy who sexually assaulted and harassed her and her coworkers, but claimed to be led on by her, which made him think it was ok. But of course, people are just taking the excuse to hate on her and being willfully ignorant.
people like to like hate on successful people.
About 6 months ago there was a huge controversy where Poki was claiming copyright on videos where she shouldn't have. Objectively wrong, made her look like a jerk, and she made apology video and everything. But her playing chess is a redemption arch.
Lower rated games are just as fun to watch as super GMs just because how random and chaotic they are lol
@lucax tshotting weird that you would see my comment and decide to insult me and talk up yourself. I understand GM games very well too I’m really solid at chess but it gets boring watching something be done near perfectly every single time.
depends on your level, i cant suffer trough these and i dont need assistance to understand gms moves once they make them, so i rather watch gms. But I can see this being more atractive for most people, specially with the fan factor
