It's Him or Me | Arena Kings Knockout

insatiable for the two months thanks so much  sensational okay here we go let's start uh i mean   i don't know how good this guy is huh okay he's  just trolling because he knows he's gonna lose yeah it's a little bit depressing just chuck me he's just gonna meme  it totally i like where his mind is   at i'll give him that i like where his  mind is at i like where his mind is at i'm not going to offer a draw because the draw  is not good enough i need to win 2-0 you guys checkmate okay we got the win let's watch um  watch some other games we have board next game   which i think is going to be very exciting  actually let's watch meier for right now okay so we won the first match 2-0 um so pretty  good stuff okay so meyer is um black here pretty balanced position i think yeah this is going to be a big match and the  other one is uh is renato as well renato and   bortnik this maybe this is going to be a closer  match let's let's watch this one okay this is   what renato and bortnick wait it says one and  a half one and a half but they surely have   not played any games yet this must be the first  game that they're playing i assume let me check yeah it's the first game they're playing all right i played jenny last week yeah i thought  i thought i might have played him um bourne i   mean i would say on paper boarding is stronger  but bornick is also uh um he's also struggled a   little bit at times and ronaldo's had some great  wins like against me and bortnick uh in in it was   two weeks ago i think he won i think we're not  a one i think he beat me and he beat portnik actually it's good he knows he couldn't win on  like most 1150s i think they have a chance maybe yeah anyway um yeah so we uh we do make it in   we're on to the the quarterfinals  or the yeah quarterfinals next   for four rounds you have to win i've learned my  lesson don't bet against cecaro lol true true renato or levi who's stronger i mean  obviously renato is a stronger player but anyway we keep going knight c193  probably bishop g3 to hit the pawn maybe   rook c1 c3 is also an idea i don't like  rookie one now there's knight b2 though maybe six i guess oh i don't know if i like b6  because now the knights jumping there's a lot   of pressure here they just let him go in knight c4  knight c6 probably remains balanced because black   was his night before here oh but bornick has no  time i just realized wait boarding's got no time i mean at some point we're gonna see  some uh at some point we're gonna   see c3 i don't quite know when but at some moment maybe just run the king over run the king over i would run the king over here yeah d2 like king d2 and now he's  gonna go some rook f1 maybe i think white's going to renato is trying to flag  morning for sure here g4 maybe an h4 hang up to g2   f4 he missed it g4 is good here  yeah now you take and you go h4 yeah boarding is going to lose this game i think you run the knight to h4 of course h5 f8 ronaldo's being way too slow in this end game i think he's still going to win but yeah now you just trade and take d3 and  he'll still win e4 king d5 e6 or this well i mean it's not even so  too slow it's just that uh it's it's just that like he was down too much time  basically yeah no increments here so bornick loses   the first game so very tough start for him  down 1-0 uh going to be very very difficult yeah he preambled like 80 moves  but it was it was too slow blitz stream one wait blitz room's up  one zero over meyer wait what for reals uh who will i play next i think i play the  winner of the game i play football he's   gonna win his match if i understand  the brackets correctly i think so yeah arena kings has no increments  you guys just no increments so yeah there are no no increments looks good for white uh isn't there 96 or  something there's some big jump here i think why is the camera not a rectangle what do you mean okay what is borneo going to do here go back to b5  or something checks okay king c7 probably knight   b5 king b8 it's a very weird position here is it  annoying having a bright light above your monitor   not really because i don't really have to look  towards it i'm just looking towards the screen so   it's above my my uh my eye my eyeliner  above my um my vision of sight i should say because knight b5 if white can somehow get a  knight to like a h3 g5 is probably very good here a field division yeah it's just  above my field division exactly   i do the camera my camera on the monitor  because it's right in between so it's like   it's right where i'm looking  at that's the reason for it so i assume you take with the knight and  go here but he doesn't do it surprising black is almost okay i think if he gets  a6 and can take and go queen d6 he's fine   very close to being okay here we'll see okay but now there's maybe c4 i thought  c4 is a move but now after queen d6 and rook d8   black's going to be completely fine here like rook  d8 there you go see i mean i think you have to get   okay he doesn't gamble he wants knight e5 which  i understand like f4 95 takes and here i'm not   feeling it though if black is king b8 king b8  and rook c7 i i don't know what white's doing this i i don't think i don't think uh bortnick is  going to win anymore i think this is going to be a   draw and bournemouth's going to be in a must-win  situation because now rook c7 is coming and then   even knight e5 doesn't do anything i would  go here and double stack it like we see seven   or c and then try to plop tonight maybe on f5  you're getting aggressive yeah rook c8 of course   this should be a draw if renato just holds the   glue and he just waits kind of with  some moves he should draw this game okay queen e7 maybe okay knight c4 yeah a  knight of five yeah this should be a draw here   96 knight knight of five yeah this is just a draw  rook h2 only move good move boarding finds it knight c4 i don't know who's trying to  beat who here exactly i don't know if   white's trying to win or black's  trying to win or what's going on somebody's gonna sack here i assume the knockout  is separate yeah you have to qualify i don't know   if black wants to draw or white wants to draw  that's the thing it's very funny i don't know who   wants to draw like i presume i presume black wants  to draw but black's also up on the clock here he's trying to go five here yeah you run the king up c8 this is such a sick situation to be in if you're  either side because at some point white's going   to gamble and if ordnance gets caught out  to hit dry without five at the wrong moment   he's going to lose the game and he's going  to lose the match so like he's trying to   there's like pure gamble going on here with  both players it depends when f5 is played here he's going to go b3 yeah bornick  is going to win this game on time   i think he's gonna go b through at  the right moment and get the break   yeah he's gonna get the break at the right  moment with b3 you just know it's coming it's   just a question of when yeah it's gonna  come now i think yeah now it comes yeah   should be a draw but i mean i kind of think  that it was a big mistake by uh by renato   oh why do you allow this okay but  yeah he'll win the game on time but   i don't know why um blitz stream beat meyer  2-0 oh wow wow okay that's crazy so basically   okay so i'm i'm going to play vucor i get this i  basically got the soft half it looks like of um   is boring about to lose by the way  no boarding has six seconds more she won yeah born is going to win  this game board next has more time   they need a bitcoin for the five  months there's so much of bitcoin   rasulov is like 2800. yeah this is a oh my gosh  he got rook a7 off but he wasn't expecting it he   got rookie seven off that would've been so sick  if he could have played f6 and drawn the game   wow anyway so that that that's done so what do  we have then this is the only match left it's 1-1   they're gonna play the third and final game here  kind of makes sense the previous game is a dirty   flag you've got a dirty flag back the other way  pretty standard standard stuff so yeah so i play   i play vlookup or if i beat vucard then i play  blitzrum or ibarra and um and then on the other   side it looks like whoever wins this match is  almost guaranteed to make it through to the final   because the only player who's high rated is uh  ohanian who's like 2500 i beat him down a queen   for two pieces so whoever wins this match is very  likely guaranteed a spot in the final i would say yeah bishop h4 this is a pretty well  known line i actually i had a game   against bortnick with this in a  title tuesday maybe a month ago okay i don't know if i like fg it's  a move but i'm not thrilled by it   which room is a free win i don't know i i mean i  feel like blitzer is not a guaranteed win where   is like which jim is capable of winning games  like 2700 or something whereas uh ohanian the   fm is like 2 500 online and he couldn't beat with  a queen for two pieces so i don't really i feel   like there's whoever wins this game is guaranteed  to spawn in the final or whoever wins the match pretty bad seating i mean but what can you  say also everyone's this match plays in 1800   next round whoever wins the smash  gets an 1800 which is pretty funny   when you think about it i like  97 by boarding to go d5 nice move see what happens here i assume you go queen d2 and rookie  one yeah rookie one first and queen d2   maybe knight c6 and try to rotate the  other knight to put maximum pressure   okay he's going to do this one  instead 97 c6 is the idea of course so yeah i tried total dark mode  i have but it's not my thing   do i miss my online battles  with uh with ali reza sometimes   sometimes yeah not not frequently but  sometimes i would say but sometimes yeah anyway yeah so all right so what do what do we have  this game's still going on looks um   yeah maybe bishop c2 is a move  here at some point but not sure   good luck yeah looking forward to the next  match up against uh vukor i think if i beat   vucar i'm in good shape ronaldo by the way is  much better here these pawns are kind of iffy   there's g4 now g4 is a very good move here  will he find it doesn't do it yet i mean i'm   worried about g4 knight h4 me but these double  pawns are really a problem for uh for black   i mean g4 now maybe g4 now and h4 bishop b3  still trying to expand on the queen side first and knight e6 of course to go knight of five now  there's g4 again i think you have to play g4 here now 96 and i i don't know bishop c2 queen g7  then queen a4 new queen a4 to go queen eight tough position to play i think  white's better but very hard to play maybe queen a7 and bishop takes okay  probably queen eight i assume g4 trade or h4 maybe h4 i assume you have to trade  on g4 here because the h4 there's going to be   taking f4 they have to trade fg4 trade trade  bishop e3 i think this will be a draw there's   probably some way black can get in okay but  now queen queen b8 i don't know about knight   d8 that's kind of a dubious move to me you  know for maybe you can just try to make a draw should be a draw if you trade queens i guess 96 and it's probably a draw knight d3 is a good move there i think 93   bishop c3 is there 95 and c6 i thought there  was but actually i think renato might win now right ninety three he missed the knight takes d5  c6 which was winning for sure maybe about four 96   knight t5 was winning again wow 96 wins now knight d6 is game over oh  knight d6 was winning what is bishop   f4 by renato 96 was completely winning for  white how did he not play 96 that's insane now now they get to play bullet 1-1 that's  insane that renato didn't play knight d6   there that was completely winning and he had  20 seconds not like he had like five seconds   i'm not using the bar right now you guys that was  that was insane by renato to not play knight d6 he   would have won the game for sure warning is better  at bullet two exactly that's why it makes no sense   that he did this although bournik did lose him  i think uh in a uh in one of the bowl games they aren't you nobody at 20 seconds  he didn't have he didn't have time yeah i don't know why bullet  is one plus one bullet should   be straight up 1-0 of course  it shouldn't be one plus one i won't show you the bar but i mean i can  tell you what the lines say it's black is a   little bit better here makes sense of renato  just didn't see it but he had to know that   that was his chance to win time was even it was  really good um so kind of weird kind of weird they forgot to study their night in bishop  games maybe i don't know yeah one plus one   is kind of yeah but i think vornix gonna win  this game is my guess that would be my guess very bad position as well for renato here  very hard to play no development the queen   side is paralyzed king is you don't really  want to castle because you push these pawns   i mean i think white's crushing here  warning's gonna gonna crush i assume will end video run continue i don't know  maybe maybe not i notice the markets   are going getting bigly green again  though or at least certain things are yeah this is very ugly for black i  mean knight d5 is just oh between a4 queen a4 you got to go queen a4 dude what's  he thinking about this will only move there's g4 there's f5 also okay let's see  seven rookie three rook c3 you gotta do it   one of the list maybe you lift the d rook i  don't know which one but one of these two ah   because queen c4 there's queen b7 actually knight  c5 is a nice move by boarding now he's going to   win they need a while samuel for the five months  there's so much wild samu very costly by renato   not capitalizing that last game very very  costly because he should have won this match c6 game over yeah so renato loses so um subordinating moves  on so boarding pretty much guarantees himself a   spot in the final so basically if i if i hold up  my end i'm going to play bortnick in the final   give away more 30 90s and nvidia  will go up very funny all right that was a brutal game yeah yeah okay what i eat from the floor  nothing i didn't eat anything before okay so we have um yeah so we're in the  quarters let me see when we're starting okay let's say two to three minutes you guys  two to three minutes then we play next match please don't tell me you gulp  coffee like that no you guys my bullet rating i don't know it's like probably  3 400 ish these days i don't i don't actually   follow very closely let's see what am i 33.70  all the bullet ratings have come off the off the   inflation that we had because chess.com decided  to be like the federal reserve and introduce uh   inflation by adding 100 points to everybody's  rating so there was a period when the ratings   went up really insanely high um like i got  to 35 70 i think the end no sorry it wasn't   daniel's olly reza got to 3 500 like um  like everybody got really inflated so yeah yeah actually they did mount a dime they  added like 100 points everyone's ratings   they argued that the the difference between  bullet and blitz should be like 100 or 150.   yeah it's not a joke they did yeah the the  rating printer goes burr exactly yeah yeah yeah let's keep rolling i do that i've gotten i do feel like i  got a game started no i didn't start yet   um i do feel like i've gotten a lot i've gotten  a lot worse a bullet in the last year or so i do   feel like i'm significantly worse than i was  before for the 10 months thank you so much   appreciate it thank you for the uh 10 months  man i hear that rumsfeld died no i didn't um   yeah i don't know i mean very  controversial person right i mean objectively i mean he was actually he was 88  man he he i didn't realize he was that old   88 wow i mean a lot can be said about  you know a lot could be said about iran   contra and then i then you know iran iraq all  those things like so very controversial figure   yeah actually i don't know if he's involved iran  contra but still yeah like it's very controversial   do i think ages do i think  age is a factor in bullet   um i do think so yeah i think i think  for sure in bullet it's definitely true yeah putting it mildly yeah oh he  was involved in iran contra also wow   i guess yeah he was 88 he must  have been around 50 years ago yeah anyway all right so uh so we should  be starting in a minute or two i think just   waiting for the next game again thank you to  all you guys for watching i know it's been a   really long stream today i think i mean i've i've  been live for about four and a half hours here on   the original broadcast which we had before that  was also another four hours so we've had a lot   of very very long days um in the last week or so  but i'm glad that you guys are all enjoying it so let's keep going let's play e4 again what did vukor play against   he played we played some kind of weird  french or something i don't know what it was i'm gonna i'm gonna probably play d3 i'm  gonna play some oh he's gonna do this one okay   do this one let's see what  he knows or does not know this is right maybe queen c3 was right too  let's play um just develop   actually like what i did was wrong queen c3 is  the right move i think let's go here bishop c2 i'm gonna go rook b1 i don't know if it's the  right move probably i should just trade it   i'll go b4 maybe rookie one next move   maybe bishop d3 hits the pawn too and also  go back maybe in target this way as well rookie one consolidate the pawn on  e4 d5 e5 what's this move because d4 23 d takes c3 knight f3 i can obviously take very sharp though so let's not  think too long here because this   is important to not go too  deep into the tank takes takes let's go here let's see what his move is because  i just release on takes i also have knight f1   important move or knight f3 i  don't know which one's right because the points i can take now if he takes it's   not a check and i i can just  made him on the diagonal maybe why didn't an idea was better though i think  wait what wait first of all wait a second i take   on wait a second let's think okay i can't take  there so i guess i just take here and take here still not trivial in terms of what's going on  here based g6 i expected that okay let's see   okay let's see what do i  have queen g3 is to move um and f5 is not a move okay let's not  think too long here you just stay sharp no no what am i doing what am i doing gotta think   i'm thinking too long why am i thinking  let's just go here and takes this right away this rook idea which i think is not  the best move i can trade i can also take or maybe take moving way too slowly here i also just blundered my yoyo   oh he goes rookie two which is good but  not the best move so here's i can take this will play i'm gonna play h4 i  don't know if it's the right move   f5 maybe at some moment i  also blundered this too shoot wait i can go okay can go here oh um shoot i gotta move why am i so slow again shoot oh my god i just threw pudge oh my gosh oh shoot and i just wonder this ah fudge i threw i threw i threw i threw that game  very badly i was too slow i threw that focus now focus i don't think that's the right play here i think  i'm zunga as well thank you so much i'm zunga um slow it down just a little bit if i move fast good things will happen i just not  i just mean the one time i don't doubt he carries   loses yeah well it happens again it's best of  three though so it's not the end of the world just   put the bishop here i don't know this i should  have put on f5 i don't know why i put it here i'm gonna go all in here with g4 and just  attack i i just trust my instinct to move fast   the same as yesterday when i started thinking  for long periods of time yesterday things did   not go my way that's basically the moral of story  i'm just gonna step out of the way here maybe step out of the way and go work ga place f3 i think i'll just go back  i'm going to take and go 95 here there's a mistake by me too take and take over here hit the queen i should be okay  though i should have like h3 or something   think about this let's go not h3 maybe rook d5   i'm much better here if i play this  precisely i'm probably winning actually let's see go h3 it takes i didn't expect  that actually let's go here obviously trade somehow again i feel like i'm just playing this okay let's see what can i do i guess i go here take this one and take that one i'm up a pawn so i mean i can't really be  worse here i shouldn't shouldn't be possible   of this with the bishop hey white rice for tier 2 and  sembia thank you so much okay no i think i just take attack though it's a check i don't  think you realize it was chuck   okay now i should win i just need  to be smart about how i play this all right trade some queens there's kh1 i can obviously take h3   i assume this is the right move there's no mate  and i'm okay now i just made him there we go okay same thing just i have to remember to  play queen c3 that's all engage three is fine right i just go here and take i just take on c6 just finish our  development here it doesn't look right um e5 okay i don't want to think  too long here last game but i   didn't think good things happen so  i don't want to use too much time i'm just going to go here on bishop b2 or bishop  e3 i don't know which square i'm going to but one   of the two i need a blacksmith tv for this three  months into black tv i thought i had this though   not great or no it is great because if  he takes up knight a4 to win the game   if i get an id5 i mean i assume i'm better or  i mean i should be better somehow maybe i'm not it's queen beef that's the best  move i believe okay i'm just going   i'm gonna trust my instincts that like if  he takes the exchange he's gonna get mated   he goes knight c5 i thought he might do  that okay i'm just gonna gambit upon here   and trust that the diagonal is worth a lot  i'm gonna trust this diagonal the threats   on the diagonal are going to be worth  more than this one pawn in the center just there obviously play like i'm going  to go here i'm just gonna start attacking   making the center a little bit more  brittle and now i'm gonna go like   here do i double or not i know i'm better if i  play this correctly that much i know with f3 here   that's her just winning wait a second he doesn't  have hg5 i thought i could just play like queen g4 a5 what oh my god did i just blunder   wait how is this possible queen  g4 f5 takes knight two three takes three wait takes take some shock okay so i go oh wait yeah it's check okay shotgun d5 so i guess i just uh i guess i just trade  why not go like or maybe let's go here i go rookie two and now i should be  winning yeah now i should be winning here   now i should be winning okay let's just go here yeah i kind of missed that of  course amongst other problems so g5 i'm going to play h4 of course there i think i can go here looks fine  safe and now if i go rookie one let's just just wait a second  and now i'm just going to quietly   build my position g3 and f4 my king  is kind of a little bit iffy here   he doesn't really have moves either i'm  just going to slowly play this um go h4   i don't actually have to do a whole lot i  can kind of just sit around and wait here   okay go here and i'm going to expand  because now my pawns are safe let's go here so i got to be careful here six rookie three three i mean i've got to trust myself this  is winning oh my god i just wanted an id4   he missed it hit 94 which was  actually i missed it completely next tonight chuck yeah i  won the game i have chuck just check got the win 2-1 uh not good but we got it really not good not good we got the win all right you guys um  yeah this vuegar guy was literally streaming   streaming while sniping you okay wait you're  saying he was he was watching my stream   but you're saying he was watching  my stream while while he was playing wait are you guys serious or is that a he had it on another he had it on another  tab wait wait a second seriously no that's   i mean he should be kicked out for that uh anyway  whatever yeah it's you know so when we move on to   the semis um and go from there but very very  tough match i mean definitely i feel like i'm   i do feel tired so so it's good it's what it is  but hopefully i can find a little bit of last   energy as we head into the final final  two um one second let me just shoot over all right there we go i think  we're gonna have there's gonna   be another short break let me just double check um yeah all right i'm gonna use the restroom you  guys i think and um and we'll come back and   come back in one second i'm just yeah yeah all  right i'll be right back you guys give me a few   okay so we're gonna play the semis i think we're  playing against jc abar if i'm not mistaken   who i believe won his match as well yeah he won his match against um who do you   win against blitz stream two one  very tight match so pretty close   all right don't cry when he borrow wins dude like  seriously chill chill the freak out man come on   play e4 here okay just for that i'm just going  to time you out dude i mean just so unnecessary yeah all right let's play d4 and trade c5 this is dubious right here yeah uh c4 is move i think bishop f4 oh did i  just blend i might have already just blundered hey   okay it goes d5 which is interesting so  i'm gonna trade oh i don't know like here   maybe in castles interesting position  i don't i don't know what's going on probably bishop on f4 is misplaced though go here i'm going to castle of course i need a elginator for the prime thing so much i don't know it's pretty balanced i mean i i i  guess i'll go here my bishop doesn't really belong   enough for kind of like i'm a little bit perplexed  as to why i even did that it makes no sense   um i'm gonna rotate my knight maybe  go for this as well i don't feel like   i'm playing this game very well it  doesn't look very attractive for sure i was going to play knight h5 and  i'm gonna go oh it goes knight e4   let's go c3 did i just blunder something i  think i kind of did but bishop d6 at least   yeah that was not very good by me i bishop d6 and  maybe i'm still i'm still maybe kind of okay here   i know bishop c5 is no good what am i doing okay  let's just go let's go here maybe in queen c1 i feel like i'm about to blunder  though i actually do let's see bishop c4 i can obviously trade i  think what i have to do here is i   just have to try to draw this game like  94 and try to try to draw it basically   doesn't mean i can drop but  i have to try to draw it yeah like knight d4 is a move  i also have knight g3 maybe   wait wait wait a second let's think knight  shoot three let's go here hit the pawn   and if rook d2 i can probably just  take and go rook f1 or just take f5   oh we can also take b3 what am i oh my gosh i'm  like blind i'm not seeing anything right now yeah i'm not trying to draw i'm trying but  the thing is position is not very good for me   he is slow however he is very slow also without  for all you guys who are wondering why i wasn't   playing at 4am why i didn't want to play at  4am this i think is a pretty textbook example   kind of angle bishop c5 here i can play  rick d1 okay i know i'm like kind of okay   kind of okay being the key word i'm just  gonna go go here try to trade some stuff off yeah so for everyone who's wondering why why like  i didn't want to play at 4am i think this is a   good example because like we're pretty deep  in the stream and i'm definitely struggling   without a doubt okay this bishop b6  which is kind of a surprising move   oh here maybe he's actually misplayed this kind of that's not to say that it's like this i'm  actually okay now now i'm very much okay   in this game i think i still probably can't  win but i actually should not lose because   my knight is getting to d5 now yeah he's  he's misplayed this like knight d5 is a move   not a4 i've got to be careful let's  just go here knight d5 is my big threat real wait wait there we go  that's one up one up one down very good okay very lucky very  lucky i should have lost that game   all right let's let's be solid now no no nonsense let's play this one um for this this line can obviously take i think d6 and bishop  v6 is supposed to be fine here as well takes plays f4 i can obviously play f5 here uh  but then he has um bishop g4 as well which is   kind of interesting it doesn't look right  i actually would have bishop c4 as well   go this way let's see because i'm going to  trade all the bishops basically and we'll see   i'm probably slightly worse but i  don't think i should be that much worse   i trade i guess i just trade to avoid the avoid  nonsense play a five but i think i'm just gonna go   i'm just going to go f5 is the move  that i want to play but it's not good   yeah it's not a good position i'm going to  go here and maybe go queen e6 f6 95 next move play a5 a4 if he plays a4 here or not i think he  has to though let's bring the queen over i'm gonna   try to bring my queen over i don't know if a5 was  good probably it was and i should have gone a6 b5   um let's go here again he blundered in the  last game when he should have been winning so   i mean i have to keep that in mind in  this game that he could he could blunder   i don't know what queen g3 does  i'm just gonna go like rookie eight i have knight before at some of me already  knight i think i'm just gonna sidestep though   i want to go knight b4 and like knight c6 maybe g6  i just take it goes with q1 i have 95 but i think   before knight c6 is not very attractive i  don't really have space here this is a problem   played g6 let's go for it hope it works no guarantees okay take so i guess i take  with the con or the knight i assume i take   the queen probably oh then no in h5  i just trade trade there that's fine knight g6 was actually i think a better move maybe  ministry so of course i take here i have to take you take what the rooker  does he take with the pawn this is a pawn interesting choice i don't  think that's the right choice actually   because now i think i can go like maybe here  in rook f2 let me get a little bit sharp now 87 is a strange move not the one that i expected  for sure i guess he's gonna win a pawn maybe it's   a maybe it's actually a very good move definitely  not a move that i uh i didn't see it at all   okay let's see i can also  play d5 maybe let's go go here right the knight c6 94 maybe i don't have to go  for it i don't really have time here so also d5 d4 tricky position he goes right h1 he wants rook h6  so i guess i go i have 95 no i think i go here hit   the queen and block with the queen or block with  the rook i guess i block with the queen here maybe   let's go here so i hit the pawn there  i have knight d4 and queen g7 maybe   take so i guess i just take i had knight d4 there which might have been better i want to go to one because b3 that looks like a bad move um i've   ripped you one but i'm gonna go  knight d4 maybe to hit the pawn takes i guess i take with this knight probably very hard to judge what's going on in  this i have g1 got knight one only move i'm gonna   go here maybe he checks i come up i mean these  knights are very strong in the center go here when i check and take the  juicer yeah i'm winning now   now there we go so here are these knights win  the game for me thank you adrian tde for the   four months later remember hotra for the tier  one thank you so much ramo hotra thank you to   ryan's prime for the three months thank  you so much get the dub 2-0 get the dub get the dub all right we'll watch  board next games um let's see yeah um one second yeah we got the dub all right so we're  going to watch boarding i actually did not have a   chance to go to the restroom before so i am going  to go to the restroom uh very quickly can i get to   get the sub to the guy who got really salty about  the game true true story all right you guys i'm   i'm not going to run ads but i'm going to take a  break i'll be right back all right you guys okay ah okay just to stretch my legs i'm  so good giannis has giannis knee has   no structural damage so i assume that means  he's going to play again i just imagine you   car were hiding under just playing game  of trolls no no i mean i'm we keep going run the ad no okay fine whatever there  one short one which what are you excited   to attend once vaccinated sporting  events concerts happy hour parties   i know what do you guys what are you guys  excited by like i mean i don't know like sports   events concerts happy hour i would assume  it's sports events right sports events no that's my guess no it's not eight ads i gave you i give you  guys like two ads so no not eight anyway   we're gonna probably play we're probably gonna  play bortnick in the final just trying to um   i'm excited to attend the meltwater finale oh  nice king falcon congrats uh hopefully i'll see   you in san fran um yeah i think what i would  say is like what i'm what i'm trying to do   right now is just like just relax and try to  keep my wits about me because i am definitely   i feel very very tired at the moment um so  i'm just gonna try to keep my wits about me yeah i see one out of eight no it can't be  one out of eight i'm running a one-minute   ad not three minutes it dies gg for  the nine months thank you so much uh if he's in his top form yeah it's very  hard to play against magnus in his top form   uh the final is going to be held in san francisco  i don't know where exactly but um it's going to   be held in san fran i actually know it's going  to be held at meltwater headquarters so i don't   know i don't know exactly what that tells or  doesn't entail but that's where it's going to be all right you guys so we keep going um but  finals coming up i think the finals are going   to be in september i think it's september  25th to october 3rd if i'm not mistaken   uh or around then so that's when the finals are  going to be of the meltwater champions chess   tour i i'm pretty sure i'll be playing there um  it will not be my first in-person event though by the way i'm kind of impressed by how o'hannian  is actually hanging in there in this game because   i assume that bortnick would just blow him off  the board but he is hanging in there there's   what knight a5 but then takes knight c4 e7 i guess  you lose can you take and go e7 de6 knight c4 e7   e7 e8 and bishop h6 oh my gosh d  takes e6 is winning for white i think   i think you gotta go for it you gotta go for  it when am i going for a haircut i don't know if he doesn't take on e6 yeah now  now you're just taking white loses   so yeah so it's guaranteed that i'm  gonna play bortnick in the final let's try and think about what i'm gonna play not sure uh anyway what kind of razor  do i use i just use like gillette mach3   even though they don't sponsor me and they  should but hey uh but that's what i use ooh ooh rook d2 this actually wait  this bishop's kind of problematic here   why how does bornick only have 16 seconds  on his clock again i don't understand oh the knights trap oh this is dangerous king f2  this is very like bishop e5 maybe bishop e5 is uh   uh okay g4 i'd go g4 here now there's knight  c3 and you get out you get out of the box and   board nick will win even though boarding's down  on time white doesn't possess the technique here   hornet's going to win this game because the  is better than the bishop i think maybe not   yeah i think born is gonna win though  g4 g4 you got you gotta go faster dude   yeah he's just too slow yeah you know if if  white was smart he would hang the rook here fake wow boarding might lose okay warnick loses wow wow okay well okay that's  interesting i mean border played e4 i don't   know why bournemouth's heading flag don't know  if he's too slow or is is he too slow or is he   just having um is he just having connection  issues i guess that's the real question but i mean everyone's struggling like i lost the  game too like it's not it's not that surprising   it's probably lag right it's probably like  boarding because some kind of lag and he's   down like a minute on the clock or something see  the same issue against um against somebody else   mr layman for the six months thank  you so much mr layman appreciate it   will this be on youtube i don't know  maybe maybe not you'll have to check   it out you also go to my youtube channel  and check and see if it's there or not   um okay so i guess you take with the bishop and  then he's going to play f3 and e6 that's my guess   yeah f3 and then e6 right yeah bishop h7 and you  go e6 for sure for sure you go e6 yeah of course but if he lagged he would have had the same  issues at the end with bullet that's actually true   yeah i know that's a good point i mean he's still  going to win i still think it's very likely that   boarding's going to win um but yeah this bishop  is awful on f8 look at this bad bishop it's   just so bad i mean black should probably try to  give up the pawn yeah queenie it's a good move   if white smart he goes bishop e5 bishop i  would have been a huge positional masterpiece yeah bishop e5 was actually like game over because  black hit was had dead pieces and i'll show you   guys why after the game like in this position um  after queen g6 28 if white goes bishop e5 here   the bishop is never getting out and you  can just keep the queen here and these two   pieces are just dead for the whole game and  white wins easily okay now c6 yeah now it's   now it's not so simple now e6 and i'm not even  sure why it's better i guess white is c4 rook d8 well it's still better but it's not easy not easy not easy at all it takes takes takes tough position for white to win   how they saw the second game because they started  after after my game they deflated toaster for the   three months there's so much to deflated  a toaster appreciate it thank you so much i mean maybe you go bishop e5 here  rook d5 and then f4 it seems reasonable   cool set on the second camera no  problem hope you guys are enjoying it rooting for ohanian you've gone up against  boardnik too many times yeah it'd be nice to play   him in the final i still think bournix is going  to win though i guess now rick rook d58 of course hey b5 yeah b5 looks good because i would love to run the  king up although i guess white can go this way too   anyway i can go this way i don't i  don't know if i love a3 okay this way   he's going the wrong way because  there's always b5 now work d5 i mean bishop c5 bishop g6 and  black's not actually worse here   i still think it's very likely that  boarding is going to win the game though just return the east coast now i can order polish  food again perogian stuffed stuffed cabbage   not bad yeah how does white win here maybe b4 again you'd  love your king over here but bishop c5 and b5   and bishop d6 again yeah bishop c5 is the move  for sure because then king c2b5 traps the rook   i don't like that move yeah white's going  to get i think there's bishop d8 f6 maybe   he doesn't do it how's the eval whites much  better here after king c4 still bishop d8   and bishop 6 is an idea but yeah bortnick is  going to win this game pretty cleanly i think thank you to josh burr for the seven months  in a row thank you so much appreciate it   okay there must be some way to win here everything  feels too loose bishop c7 bishop c7 me whoa okay   oh there's rookie eight rookie oh he missed  rookie eight rookie was winning there me four like okay now this is going to be very  interesting to see if horton can win this game the rooks are actually kind  of tied up here should be six actually very hard like v5 or  bishop b8 no now uh king e4 no boarding's not going to lose here king e4 maybe yeah he's got to go king e4 next move e4 hang out three just go  back aches okay with the pawn   king d3 wait a second king d3 oh we missed  king d3 king d3 was winning there for black   oh now bornick's gonna win on time how did  he not play king d3 that was insane there how do you not play king d3 okay so  it's gonna be one one surprisingly   uh but bornick's gonna win and he's  probably gonna win the third game too yeah king d3 was very unclear if he had played it   but after uh after he let the white  king get to e2 just easy one for white whoa theta ramble hoetra for the five gift is  this boring super gm no but he's a pretty strong   gm i would say he doesn't play a lot of over  the board but he should be probably about 26   25 26 50ish around there so  very very solid grandmaster yeah no it's surprisingly competitive  because i really i played this guy   in in the main portion ohanian and  i mean i i blundered my queen for   two pieces and i still won the game so  it's definitely a little bit surprising england two germany zero say it with me chat  okay england two germany zero there you guys go okay so let's see um oh let's see what will  ohanian do what what what was this out of by   the way i just want to see what this opening was  because it looked like white got a great position   okay you got you got a pretty good position hmm okay so anyway yeah do you think there will be a live  audience in st louis maybe maybe   hard to tell hard to judge but maybe next elo rated tournament you mean  tournaments is ranked for club for uh   for on feed a rating like blitzer  rapid or classical that'll be the um   st louis rapid and blitz in uh in early august  like august i think 10th to 16th if i'm not   mistaken it's either 10th to 16th or 7th to  13th but that'll be my next over-the-board event so that's that's what that's  that's that's what's coming up so yeah who who are you for in in who are you in for in  the euro hikaru i'm not following it very closely this is actually very bad for boarding f5 is a  strong move here very bad position rookie three knight d4 looks very strong here knight d4 and  you get the bishop on the diagonal knight d4   is winning for white it's bishop d4  not a bad move either b3 of course obviously whoa g3 i guess that's  a good move too i don't love it   but vortnik's in really bad shape  here he's actually losing this game and he's down a minute on the clock so he's   gonna need some magic here because  this is really dangerous for him i guess just b3 again b3 is like begging to be  played yeah just b3 and i think white's winning this guy's 2600 but man he is playing some good  shots today knight a5 rookie 3 looks strong too knight d4 of course yeah knight d4 i mean you're  just losing we need six or nine oh my gosh 92 rookie 3 i mean 92 i guess  a4 makes sense too rookie 5. i mean rookie five is just winning here g4 is our knight f5 trick there's you can trade c4 is good   i see five okay i mean boarding has a  chance here to draw i don't think bortna can 92 e2 94 knight d4 of course 92 f2 and then rook e3 king e5 is the only  move here um rick h3 don't blunder knight d1 f6 of course okay six should be i mean this  should be winning you run i don't like that at all d1 okay seven i mean why should win this  game he's up like 40 seconds check on e8 g6 no i mean boarding's gonna lose this game gonna lose wow wow wow born igloos is crazy   crazy bornick loses that match lose that  game with the match um wow that's surprising i assume boarding was just gonna mop it  up i mean i'm really kind of surprised   oh wait sorry i just messed this up one second okay what's going on wait one second wait oh shoot i didn't mean to do that second there we go i i don't i don't think it's an  open document though luckily so yeah yikes anyway um okay here we go wait do this so now it's best to five you guys here  in the finals so it's the best of five match okay say two to three minutes you guys  isn't o'hanyon like the level of levy   i don't know actually i really have  no idea what his level is honestly okay um thank you to uh mathieuris bunsen for  the two months thank you so much appreciate it   but yeah we're in the home stretch you guys uh  shirley doesn't know as much theory as me no   but again you don't take anything for granted he  did beat bortnick very very impressive um so yeah   just recently started streaming and  participating in tournaments does that mean all   all that time ali reza was actually helping  magnus repair no ferisa has not started streaming   maltesar uh that's his brother on his channel  alireza's not streamed in probably two months now   um so it's when you see alireza ferruccio's live  that's actually his brother that's not alireza he's 15 years old okay yeah yeah all right  this will be over in no time no i doubt it i'm just trying to think though because i really  was i was sure that i was gonna play borton so   it's very weird to play to get the other pairing  again i beat him i beat him down a queen for two   pieces so i'm not super concerned objectively  but he beat bortnick although i feel like   bortnick's troubles were caused by the fact  that he was just too slow that's what i felt   like i felt like bortnick was if bourdain had  been fast he would not have lost those matches can i show you guys chat with a  second cam not right now but yeah if you're ever in nyc could we play a game  maybe maybe we'll see all right so the final   is going to be starting very very soon so  i'm just trying to reset a little bit here if this guy beats icaru i'm a i'm gonna i'm gonna   throw away my laptop nice yeah just  gotta play five good games that's it i haven't been to seattle in many many years now  last night since seattle was probably like 2018   maybe i think observed maybe very briefly in  2018 for a couple of days i haven't been there   though uh really that much since i left because  i lived there from 2009 to 2010 um i was in the   green lake area just outside downtown seattle so  i was there then i've occasionally gone back here   and there for a week but i haven't really spent  much time out that way it's only a 10 110 here   come visit only 110 degrees right yeah i knew we  were gonna see that i'm not i'm not going to bond cloud well i try to match will i just protect the  evil i just i'm going to try to play good shots   try to play good shots okay that's all that's all that really  matters just try to play good chess see um look at laura for the two months say to  laura appreciate it thank you for two months resub flag him in the worst case yeah that's my goal i dare you to open the h4na but it's 3-0  so again yeah but what i what i want to   say is i i think this guy's a little  bit let's see okay i'm going to play   i'm going to play kind of nons okay just this  one place this so i'll play h3 and g4 here i beat i beat someone with this i think  it's serana who i beat with this recently 94 so i'll play knight d2  to trade off some knights   knight c3 is also maybe a move i  don't know it was better or not but   please that wait wait a second wait a  second this does not look right at all   go here no he goes knight assists i go g5 and  he resigns what is he doing what is my man doing   what is my man my man if queen a5 i can even  just bond cloud in a sense and go kingy too i know this doesn't look right at all to me shinzon for the five months here it  plays queen a5 i expected that but i   i know i assumed to a3 and  b4 is just very good for me if he takes i can just take and take   wait i don't no i don't want to do that  okay so let's go b4 this is step one obvious move that i have to play okay so if i  trade and go queenie four knight six queen of   five that's just winning i think um okay let's  think for a second no no need to be hasty and   rush it but i think this must be winning okay goes  knight f6 i'm gonna go here i have g5 next move this looks very bad for black i don't see it this is very bad at least this game over yeah i think this is over i think i'm just going  to go here to hit the knight and now when he takes   i just take the juicer on e5 and his knight is  stuck no squares no squares at all everything   is covered here i mean all the squares are covered  and he's just he just resigns everything's covered any signs okay good start one up  one down he has been pretty good   with white so i'm going to be stable here  no nonsense ah he wants to do this one okay okay this guy seems to know his theory pretty well  though this in knight d4 next move it plays this   i mean i know d6 is completely fine  here so i'm just going to play d6 probably bishop g4 or something  it's not blunder let's just go h6 this guy strikes me as someone who has pretty  good preparation but probably lacks some   some fundamental understanding in like middle  games i'm just going to try to stabilize here again goal is three at three points remember  that you guys the goal is threes the goal is   to get three points i don't know if i should  play a6 or not but i'm gonna play it and go like   queenie seven maybe i could have just gone queen  e7 right away it does this let's go queen e7 now is knight d5 interesting so i'll take play  knight d4 if i want to i think it's a good move   trade off pieces okay let's drop back   really hard to judge what square i should go  to i'm gonna go to a7 just so i'm bishop e3   maybe i don't have to take right away well  the b6 maybe is better for the long term   it does go to e3 i mean again i'm up i'm up  in the match so because i'm up in the match   i don't mind just stabilizing this position  and making a draw i figure i mean i can't   lose this realistically he's got a bad bishop  as well go here queen g5 at the right moment actually let's just do it right here let's just  force an end game getting too cold again take this more important to solidify it than to than to try  too hard to win here since i'm already up one zero   also he has not shown great technique in these  end games so i mean he's shown some technique to   be fair but it hasn't been like out of this world  amazing i want to stop d4 so i can take and take   this before logical move i can play f6 here i  don't really want to do it but i think i will   and it's maybe going to try to go bishop  a4 go here maybe maybe go c6 at some moment   oh did i just blunder i  gave him some something back not sure about this let's see it's very slow though very slow it plays d4 which i don't think is a great choice   because now i used to worry about this um is to  worry about this weak pawn because now i think   what i'm going to do is i'm going to start to  rotate i'm going to go b5 and knight b6 here   so here's prevent both brakes  both brakes are held by the knight   just go here maybe i might go rook h8 at some  point i also have rook eight maybe as well look there i can i guess i just go back   i'm up on the clock so okay i'm up on the  clocks at some moment i think i'm going to go f5   like here i think i have f5 takes knight  d5 don't have it okay let's just go back i figure i'm just going to wait  out weight him on in this position   because rick h1 i mean i think again  i think i have some trick here with f5   actually i can just go five e4 very  important i forgot that i've e4   here and now his structure is really in shambles  because if he takes i mean there's e4 f6 i just   fake i think and he loses the pawn on d5 and  i mean i should be winning quite cleanly here   can you do uh rusty gold games for prime yeah  but now i just take and go d2 and he loses   he can't stop the pawn uh two up two down  let's go let's go let's make a grill on d1 okay next game two up two down i  need one point out of the next three he might not realize it's best of five either  he might think it's best of three stills   what did i play i'll do the same thing  uh thank you to a beast the con channel   for the five gifted thank you so much  let's do the same thing do the same jam   go here just take him out of his out of  his weird theoretical preparation basically   okay let's just castle i should be pretty  happy with this oh let's go with c1 it does   go b6 this should not be good for him at least  maybe i don't understand chess but normally in   old russian schools you put the knight on d7 the  structure is not good the knight needs to be on c6   let's go here between there i can play 95 and also  like bishop b5 but he has not shown good technique   that's what i need to remember he has not shown  very good technique in any of these end games trade i'm going to go 95 here i think  maybe not maybe you know what let's   just play traditional let's go  queen f4 i still have 95 ideas c8 logical again i should now i'm  going to go knight e5 i'm going to   take and rotate my knight to d4 so  let's what do i take actually you   know what since i'm up two on the match  i should actually flatten the position   and reduce any chance of having like  counter play that's what i should do here we need seven logical move of course gonna be  hard to do much in this position let's just go   here put the knight on a better square maybe i  don't love this position but i think it's okay i'm gonna go h3 at some point maybe as well but he hasn't shown incredibly good  technique so i feel like i feel like   the odds are my favorite in any of these end games it was rook d8 okay i'm just going to play  h3 of course it goes 98 that's a good move um g4 why not what's the worst that can happen here it goes rook c8 and obviously i have to trade i go  queen beat his queen c7 so i think i'm going to go   i'm just going to go here to fix the structure because now maybe there's ideas like on  the dark source like knight h2 knight g4   i get the knight to e5 i should  be able to take a lot of space because knight d6 which i think is very dubious   uh i think this is very scary for  black now knight g4 is a huge problem he does have this which i kind of saw but i  think it's scary go here oh did i just drop a   pawn i thought i had knight g4 but oh my gosh he's  knight f3 go here i'm gonna get a knight to f6 but i actually thought i could go knight g4 in one go knight h6 or something let's just go here i  could have traded maybe i made a draw go here it's kind of scary still for black be very  careful how he plays this i'm gonna just take if queenie i actually have queen h1 me which is  good to force h5 or maybe i just maybe i just go   queen for e5 actually wait in g3 h625 takes 98  king f8 there's no mate huh obviously trade i   don't really want to trade but i think i should  yeah let's just trade because the h6 i go f4 i take i mean this should be really  good it should be winning for me i think   if i understand the basics of this end game go here and run the king up here okay how do i do this though  maybe this is just a draw   maybe this is just a draw  i'm gonna run the king back let's see what he can do i'm gonna  put everything on dark squares now okay let's keep going i'm gonna go a4a5 here i think i'm going to play a6 i don't know if  it's right but actually definitely not right let's go here okay whatever it's a draw i lose a ton of  points for that which is frustrating but we   move one game closer to winning so it's not  the end of the world let's stay solid here   okay he didn't prove to me that this is winning  so i'm just going to do the same thing go here yeah it's still fine a draw is fine it  just cost me a ton of points that's life i'm gonna go here right away b4 i always have knight d4 it goes bishop e3 i  mean i guess i just everything is kind of very   dry here i can trade i also play knight d4  myself but if i take on c4 and go knight d4   what's going on okay go here and i take let's  go knight t5 and we trade kind of unclear not a great position though i should have  taken with the bishop too not with the pawn still shouldn't lose this game though so okay  let's just castle let's play rookie eight   oh he has this one which i forgot  was even a move go here maybe i had a four logical move again he hasn't  really shown fabulous technique though so   i'm not too scared in these lines  oh oh god did i wonder b4 i did there's b4 b4 c5 maybe not so clear  okay let's just go here and trade   i don't know what i'm doing  here exactly but still just i'm slightly worse here but again  i don't think i should lose okay   goes b4 to play c5 but i don't  think that's really a concern   because first of all i can go king f8  maybe i go c6 here in a move or two if c5 i just take and go bishop a5   probably at some point i have to play c6 to  chop the structure maybe i guess i should   pre-move it it's a safe pre-move no it's not  trapped at all um yeah i saw this trying to   figure out why i allowed this actually why did i  do this very very stupid okay let's just go here all i need to do is draw that's all i need to do  so it's not not really the end of the world um okay let's see what can i do i guess  i'll play like rookie eight here it was there that doesn't really do  anything i'm just gonna move my king in there's f3 logical move um i can play f5 i'm gonna go here though my bishop is so bad on um on v8 here   because rookie four that's just a blunder okay  clean blunder in fact okay now okay but now   i can't lose now i just okay now i just take  and go b6 and there's no way that i lose this um let's just go i don't know like  let's go not here let's go here maybe   i'm up 30 seconds i shouldn't lose this  should be almost no way to lose this in fact i need to abu for the four months  so much to abu okay let's go here i'm   gonna try to win though i think again  i lose seven points now that we know   we have the 500 sandals in the bag i'm not  gonna i'm not i'm gonna flag him go here how do i flag him though let's see go here time to flag so let's go here in g5 maybe okay now i'm gonna go for it let's go here he's also got no time here hey trying to put up resistance but  it's just too little too late here oh i allowed this oh my god what did i just do oh my god oh my god oh it's a draw oh my gosh legendary  throw but it ends in a draw   oh legendary throw but it ends in a draw  no sir no more we win the match awful   i just hung my rook there that was so  bad i thought it was over there that's   yeah i thought it was over i let it i let up just  a bit bit before i should have yeah it was so bad   oh my gosh that was so so bad i can't  believe i did that oh good lord that was bad one more millisecond saying i would have  lost yeah i mean i just like i don't know   why i just forgot i just forgot that he could  block i just got careless here like i was like   it's over there's no way that i can lose i was  sure he would go k2 and then i go bishop g1   but whatever we win we win 3-1 not good but we win   you
