The Sub Battle with the Clutch Ending - GMHikaru vs Gothamchess #5 - THE TIEBREAKER

okay it takes takes i mean yeah white needs  to be very i mean that's that is not how you   play this position i mean you got to go you  know you got to play i don't want to say it oh we got a wiz or something um 2 000 subs uh  yeah hold on let me let me check bitcoin do we wager a bitcoin like what like what how  does this bitcoin is worth i don't even know   what bitcoin's worth but it's worth a lot uh it's  11 right now so it's 11 000. yeah it crossed yeah   so let's just let's let's do it let's do a  let's do a fat one and if anybody wants to   match it you're all more than welcome to let's  do let's do 20. sure that's fine yeah all right   cool internet handshake is agreed upon and 20  subs are up for grabs yeah i've always wondered   how that works because i feel like you never  hear about like actual cases because like i   feel like technically if you write something  like let's just say i agree that we're gonna   like like if i were to write to an email we're  gonna wait for like you know 20 subs i'm not   i've always thought that's actually enforceable  technically but it's not it's not like clear-cut   huh anyway okay let's are you putting the eval  bar on or not it's the first question i i don't   have it so i might lose some viewers to you oh no  i i don't have it on either so it's fine oh wow   okay no no we're gonna keep this professional  all right this is uh this is a ben oni um   no this is the four blocks four pawns four pawns  yeah this is a really interesting line takes in   d6 right yeah this is something i've not looked at  a long time i remember i was looking at this many   years ago because there was an anatoly visor book  on this on the four pawns attack i feel like this   was probably 99 98 99 when i was um when i was on  vacation in florida sunil and i were studying this   um so i was just like yeah it's crazy a recent  book came out by this uh this russian spanish   author muscalenko who like makes a career out  of writing you know he has a very unique writing   style i think i've never seen something like  this so he puts pictures in his openings books   and he puts like uh you know things like weapon  or you know like fun story or something like that   so he recommends this in his d4 book oh really  interesting i mean i i like it but again like   unfortunately this opening is what cost hutch the  um the title in pog champs to be fair oh yeah he   played four pawns and then he like didn't move  them forward he just put them out and like didn't   uh because it could be really effective oh are  you saying he had the black pieces or the white   pieces no he had the white pieces he was up one  nothing he was hit the white pieces won nothing   and um and he lost anyway the position is  very wild right like 22c4 white castles 97   maybe h3 except knight of two there's bishop e3  hitting the queen in the night at the same time um   yup a very wild position here yes i know somebody  in the chat said knight f2 but then yeah exactly   white has this retreat doesn't care about  the rooks uh do you play d6 or do you keep   the pawn there do you take or what do you  what do you do um i would probably play h3 but i don't know you can take on e6 or go bishop  c4 there's just so many sewing moves keeping it   professional no evil bar i don't have the line  showing though so therefore it doesn't matter   yeah i remember you remember the story about  the the viewer who got really offended i i   wouldn't put up an eval bar like mid event i  don't actually but it sounds like oh yeah i   think like the first or second sub battle like  i got very upset and i was like listen man i   can't look my overlay is like we're mid game  blah blah and uh he went to your chat and kept   tagging me and being like i'm here because you  know he has an eval bar and you don't okay that   makes sense i can see that but again the eval bar  doesn't really do much though objectively because   you know why it's better but like if you don't  know the move like something black is winning   here and i don't really know why but black is  winning uh yeah also how dare you not use an eval   bar love you how dare you how dare you i don't  know go going full greta on me there my goodness   well someone wrote that in my chat yeah yeah evil  bars is fun because it goes zoom what what does   the eval bar say about that now white is winning  it's plus one it was minus one plus one so i again   i don't really know what's going on here i'll try  to wait hold on a second let me try to see maybe no that doesn't quite work okay eval bar goes okay takes so now  i assume white plays bishop c4   no he goes knight g5 which actually might be  quite strong so if you take you take you take back   um and i don't know what's going on  here i really don't know what's going on yeah well the rook this looks okay i'm afraid  because you have the eval bar on but this looks   really promising for white knight g5 but it is  it's plus one ah yeah e takes d5 runs into knight   d yeah no no bishop b2 actually there is queen  b2 oh yeah yeah i know this is true this is true   yeah it's very messy though i don't know what's  going on here it's just a very messy position wow yeah i'm not really sure what to make of this  position oh also remember everybody it's 3-0 today   so if you're a participant there is no bonus time  so black's got 26 seconds that's that that is   that big time discrepancy um okay  yeah i'd be very concerned here if i'm   if i'm black because rook f7 looks very strong  um maybe white just takes although i guess if   you take c4 there's rook c and there's  a lot of pressure on the diagonal right   coming down towards the white king yeah there  is that it's always the scary thing here yeah   why do we take out bonus time to want to allow  more people to have the opportunity to compete   oh my goodness this where's the mate i mean  queen f7 king h8 okay i thought i thought it   was it was the other way so queen h4 you just go  h6 probably and black's doing really really well   cha cha has this issue actually he's  he he slows down when he has a good   position like you see he's gone from  50 seconds up to almost even on time uh   still messy okay 19th i don't know i think 94  there was something that was winning some combo   there i didn't actually see it right off queen e3  queen e3 queen e3 come on dude uh-oh 92 pawn takes   very messy take take take come on dude queen d4  come on move move workout 7 move move move move   move queen before move oh he's not as fast as  you clean up two move okay no but now white   wins because queens are off yeah there's no  man he's still going very methodical oh now   he's pre-moving oh my goodness he's pre-moving  every move wait he might actually do it oh no oh well it happens okay so  you guys are up one nothing   not an auspicious start but i feel like  you've never won in the first game ever right   no this might actually be counter  productive to our to our chances okay right so okay let's let's  see so round two coming up we got i i honestly don't think that  i can say my player's name out loud   like i i feel i feel like we're just gonna  i'm just gonna say player two and that's it   that's what we'll do right for obvious reasons  correct i i i was thinking to ask him to change   it prior to the game but it's okay all right um  it'll be fine life is good life is very good yeah   how did your speedrun go i went pretty well  um other than the very end but i ran into   somebody who was uh cheating i think but  oh wow not even smurfing just straight up   no i think so yeah yeah but whatever who  cares it it's yeah it does happen i remember   one of my rating ladder like guides in the middle  i was like 15 1600 and i played somebody who was   just way too strong but you could tell  they weren't like they weren't not legit   um and then right it turned out that the  guy came into the chat right after and was   like oh hey that was me and i was like you  just smurfed a 1 000 rating point like okay   yeah man that's not good that's not good at all  it's all right um yeah i'll call my guy rue lopez   that's what i'll call it we're lopez here we go  you think he plays the rulopas um i would hope so   maybe he'll play the latvian no oh scotch okay  okay it's going to be different then at least main line is this or is the main line now knight  f6 for black um normally it's knight f6 this   is still one of the two main lines but i would  say yeah normally knight to f6 instead of this   bishop c5 is considered the main line all right  well i don't and so what does white try to do   here does f4 e5 is that the game plan looks kind  of nice um well black normally plays knight e5   instead of castling so without knight e5 i  think white probably there might be a knight   b5 trick here if i remember correctly um not  sure but i think there might be an ip5 idea   oh my gosh black smooth sorry so  okay so bishop e2 queen g6 or d5 here   oh interesting centralization all right  he's got he's got morty as a profile picture   he's got a questionable username and  he has a troll face as a flare so all right knight back yeah i mean this  line is so unclear i mean i i haven't   looked at this in a very very long time but i  think white is supposed to be better after e5 same yeah well it looks very  natural this is theory you're saying   yes this is definitely theory wow amazing queen yeah like queen g6 or queen h6 i  mean i i don't know what's going on here okay takes takes all right his position isn't pretty nice yeah that was uh as as we would say  that was amazing what was amazing sorry   sacking the night for the pawn that was  completely unnecessary oh oh yeah well   now i'm not even sure how much butter  is white after bishop d4 takes queen d4   you mean after bishop f4 yeah  well we don't we don't need   to talk about it i mean you know he  plays a very solid opening and then whoa what is this it might might be a  very good move white has to take the   knife so you go bishop e5 knight  f3 king h19292 there's rookie oh wow what a nice find oh my goodness oh wait he blundered did he wonders yeah wait  oh [ __ ] should be five bishop b5 bishop b5   oh my goodness that was very close that was an  insane wait wait wait so was that was none of   that working i think it had to be winning  for black right black is better let me see oh maybe no it wasn't working computer's  insane no none of it's working never mind   the computer's just crazy it gets there and then  it changes its mind yeah it says plus one yeah   jeez okay well black is just down a piece and down  20 seconds so as sub battles go he'll probably win   so rookie one come on good trade the rooks  bring the king to the center of the board   i think white's doing really well sub battles  are sometimes more fun to watch in actual grand   masters playing each other obviously because  there's more drama you don't know what's going to   happen um so i uh i got really excited and i tried  to eat and i like half of my fork full just fell   what are you eating uh well the beef is gone  but it was like a beef stew with like onions and   and um carrots and other vegetables and bok choy  and rice you're doing well man you're doing well   you're like eating way too  healthy for a streamer like this   this is not the stream or diet i mean  dude it's it's it was like 19 and a   half hours the last two days so i got to  eat healthier i'm just gonna fall apart   okay like fine i'll go get some food too  give me one second all right it's it's not   it's not quite a stew but okay come on one minute  versus 30 seconds ate a block of cheese oh i like   it why do i always eat the meat first walk  right into that one a5 h5 or i mean if that   was a serious question i don't know it's tasty i  eat vegetables and all of it um and don't worry   i'm not flexing because i'm eating like i'm eating  mashed potatoes so it's not this is not flexing at   all chat it's just mashed potatoes um but mashed  potatoes are good they they certainly are um all right c4 i mean yeah with 15  seconds on the clock this ain't gonna   still still flexing with it with this uh right  right um your youtube is amazing dude i watch   every one of your lessons is this actually  winning for white i guess it is right a3 yeah   yeah a3 is critical though let's see  if he finds it oh oh this is still oh this is very bad oh he didn't see a3  oh my goodness he's gonna lose the pawn   but it's still a win king can get trapped on the  edge of the board and you can checkmate maybe   yeah yeah just don't take the pawn right i mean  just don't take the pun wow wow what a i mean   you know what we should do we  should do like sports style   uh we should do like uh timeouts to talk to your  team i agree yeah in the future we totally should   but but in between right not during the games  yeah in between you know call a timeout and   you gotta give give everybody a pep talk and tell  them to stop you know playing screwing around yep   yeah a3 there was important i don't know if we can  we can go back to that moment but like you gotta   it's a very important touch a3 and then the black  king will never get in it doesn't matter whether   well yeah because i can take c3 and go 95 king b3  knight c4 you guard the pawn and run over oh a3   is a nice move unfortunately it was or i don't  know it was a hard move to find though i think   so i mean i i understand all right 25  11. i feel like 25 11 is a mainstay   we have a lot of new players today but 25 11 is it's very very close in terms of ratings like  back and forth i feel like every board we have   alternates like a slight advantage so right  please stop hanging your queen that would be   a reasonable idea or stop hinting also fair  okay so typical slaw b5 e6 this line was all   the rage back in the mid 2000s nowadays i think  it's kind of become a little bit more boring um   but still pretty formidable b5 of course isn't  there a really passive line rook a7 isn't that   yeah i mean b5 c5 is this ancient line like i  i remember this was not a known line in like   around 2003 or some random anonymous gm i guess we  started playing this b5 c5 and just like storming   me on the queen side and sacking and checkmating  um on on on icc yeah i think it was alexa dram   if i remember correctly but it's like mid 2000s  was like c5 looked like such an ugly move but   then c5 with this a4 and 92 ideas was just really  really crushing um i think it was drab though if   i remember correctly i remember the the good  old days of trying to discover who was who   in icc and then there was also is queen before  here good it's a move no it can't be good though   but the idea is to just like play knight  p5 i guess black can play like anything   sure literally anything okay castles oh my  goodness this is so boring but you know levi your   icc experience and this is not me flexing but your  icc experience was a little bit different because   usually when i played i would play against gm  because even from the time i was like 12 13 i   was really strong so there were a couple times  i would get annihilated like in some random uh   like night or and so half the time for me the fun  was trying to figure out was i playing like moro   or like kramnik or was i playing like kasparov  that was like that for me that was really the   the fun part um is that like it was just like  which super gm was i playing there were a couple   lines i remember the night orc that it was not  known theory but all the top guys in their games   that would avoid the line because they had  talked to each other and they knew that it   was really good for white whereas i was the one  who played the bad boy with black in the night or   and i just got like wasted in like 20 moves just  absolutely just wrecked like blown off the board   i feel like chess was a little more fun like  that when you like really had to work to find   all of your information and i don't know now it's  all available at the latest database i'm gonna   say as soon as this game ends can i have like one  minute just show people the line sure okay because   it's a line that i played much later on even in  actual games um and it's just like crazy stuff queen d1 alright both players  jostling for symmetry um   night some ideas to get certain squares i  mean i think white is always a little bit   better than these kinds of i don't like that  move yeah i'm worried about knight d3 like   i i mean the idea i guess is to go knight d6  this move i really don't like can't black oh a5 no yes chad i used to get wasted at the  chessboard in 20 moves that's the fast drinking   correct correct man uh it was it's it's so funny yeah 12 you could  easily be um uh like top top 10 back in the day   being like you know 2100 and now like last year  i played i played some kid who was uh like i   told you um number one in the world under 11 and  now he's like and i am like 24 20 or something   um oh wow so i played him in the czech republic  he that summer he had been to italy serbia   then he went to um sharjah like the open  tournament in the uae so um yeah it was pretty   wild just seeing like that's pretty crazy you  also have to have a family that like has the means   to take because he was traveling with his whole  family i mean like it looked like bro mom dad what   is queen what i'm not sure you want to know what  our question of the poll is oh no i have it open   okay so what was your rating at 12 at 12 years old  well at 12 february the first like month or two   uh that i turned 12 i crossed 2 000 for the first  time and i beat a master for the first time and   so later a few months after that i was like no it  was like naradiski was number one it was me second   and then it was astrovsky third and then i played  like a couple months of really bad tournaments and   i literally quit chess i quit chess for like  eight months i did not play yeah i quit chess   a few times i was an angsty teenager so um so  that's why you're not gm okay it makes sense now   that yeah i don't know if you know maybe  if i stuck to it i'd be an fm who knows   you know yeah i don't i don't know i don't know  what the realities are like taking breaks or not   taking breaks i think it's really hard honestly  it's like really really hard to know like   it's like if i hadn't taken the breaks when i took  the breaks i never would have gotten to where i am   so it's like it's very hard to know at  what point you're supposed to take the   brakes versus not taking the breaks like  literally did i not quit quit school or   not not school sorry if i had not quit chess  to go to college i never would have become   2700 plus literally it wouldn't have happened  i i just know it went up did you like find like   a calling or something what would you describe it  as i guess what i would say is i realized just how   i mean should i really say is how terrible the  real world is shall we say yeah i basically   thought like playing chess is like like oh oh my  god i'm playing this game all the time it's like   you know why am i wasting my life and i went and  like played then i went into the real world like   uh the real world is not exactly great either um  your your subs are doing some weird [ __ ] man it's like what are they doing okay i'm being  told to pay attention to the chat so very   quickly before they start the next game can i  show my chat the uh line that i'm referring to   yes you can okay so it's this knight we're flying  e4 c5 knight of three d6 d4 takes takes knight f6   knight c3 a6 bishop e3 e6 f3 b5 g4 h62 knight bd7  castles um bishop to b7 white plays h4 black plays   b4 knight a4 uh queen a5 b3 knight c5 a3 94 a b  queen c7 ba-4 um black plays uh i think the move   at the time was black plays d5 e5 knight fd7 f4  knight b6 and and now there's this line rookie h3   oh shoot it's uh one second sorry there's this  line working let me go through it quickly it's   just this night or flying um this whole  h4 h6 spark anon all this old stuff   um anyway basically this uh this rookie h3 move  i i think the line became popular later on um   but the point is black normally would go  nicely forward now i played a game with   the black pieces again online against alexander  morozovic at the time i did not know it was him   and the line i played was knight a4 bishop f2  worked to see and i think in actual games at   the time there were like two or three where white  went bishop e1 but the correct move is pawn to c4   and in the blitz game that i had against rosevich  i remember this i played pawn takes pawn because   like what is c4 and then after queen d2 knight  b6 he played takes takes bishop b6 queen b6   queen of queen g6 uh king e7 f5 and i had to  resign like two moves because white's completely   winning i'm not gonna i tried to keep up with that  on my on my end but um i'm just kind of awkwardly   smiling so so yeah anyway as i was saying like i  played this game against um marozovich i was like   is it who is this because like i thought it was  the sparrow because he literally blitzed out all   these moves like c4 queen c2 and i'm like what's  going on because i just got absolutely destroyed   and um and so i thought at the time was kasparov  it turned out later that it was mirozovich   but i remember like it was one of these lines  that like i remember at the time they're like   why does black never play knight takes a four  there were like three or four grand master games   and they never played it but i think it's  because all the top guys they had analyzed it   during some of these top events  so that they didn't play it   and then i played it online because like  why not and i just got absolutely destroyed so anyway well i never played maurizevich  um but what i will say is this nope i didn't have anything i mean  i just i i feel like you just like   took us through the lore of super  gm theory being paved on icc i uh wait i can't even follow  my guy uh i'm following my guy   yo my guy get in get in like  you're not in live chess dude my dude really told me he was gonna  he's gonna play he's here he's just not   my man is really not in live chess and i  remember this too because like later on like   a couple months later i played the world youth  chess championships i think it was the under 12.   and i actually looked at this  line i prepped it with uh   i think it was like fritz five or five six at the  time and it was just completely winning for white oh my goodness or not no yeah i'm i'm  just trying to still follow this guy oh no it's not no it is winning for  white okay computer is insane okay good are you still analyzing a position yeah because  it said it was minus two so i was about to have   a heart attack i was like did i really miss  analyze or the computer is really bad back then   but now it understands and it  says white's winning okay good okay there we go oh my god oh okay hey it's your opening   mission b2 prevent pawn to e5 play pawn  to c4 actually they're both your opening okay all right all right here we breathing  you like taking on d4 this is not really not really okay sorry all right i mean the thing  about this knight on e5 is that it's not going   anywhere what is black doing is bishop e6  normal i don't like it i think the bishop   normally goes to d7 yeah it seems a little  peculiar to just is this dragon no this is um i don't know what this qualifies  as just chess we're watching that's a little bit much i think white can play  like f4 and f5 here i like white's position yeah knight h5 was um you guys you guys really  aren't aren't looking at any positional training   modules here this is okay so knight v5 here  looks strong to go knight c7 and fork the rooks i don't think that was a snipe i'm pretty sure  that like if you're saying the sentence as he's   playing it there's no no no i mean knight five  is a natural move yep knight c7 um okay now the   best move is obviously queen g3 for black um  because it you know it's just like as close to   the king as you can get without checking it  he messed up queen g3 was definitely better   oh sorry no arrows no arrows see he's not  sniping he's an honorable guy he didn't play   out four which was plus 20. he played rook d1  he's an honorable guy he's not sniping oh i've   been drawing bad arrows on purpose just to see if  anybody's you know because they can mute us but   maybe if they yeah if they're watching with  arrows it's a problem white is playing well   and using the time well for the win  bring it home baby bring it home   when you go quiet see i don't know i don't have  zoom open so bye-bye queen your queen's going   bye-bye well not well technically it's not legal  to take it right now right so we haven't moved   maybe he doesn't know about that like he just  you know whoa okay i mean my guy has a 75   chance so i've i've wasted a lot of time  in the last 24 hours playing line sweeper   he has four squares to go to and  three out of four win one doesn't win   can he find it he does good oh the queen's  trapped yeah this was a nice try by black   though knight g6 that was that was clever but yeah  um don't put your queen on h4 everybody and then   block it in with your own pieces and get attacked  just pick oh oh boy i like that white thought   there he was like oh should i take the rook uh all  right at least at least we're getting a win now   this was this almost was a redemption arc for  the the guy with the black pieces he actually   he reversed uh he reversed getting in trouble  on my channel he was trying to get him back   into my good graces and this is losing i know  that's that's what i'm saying so why is it a   redemption arc it was almost a redemption but he  failed yeah he really failed he failed okay fine it's fine i'm i'm not even upset it's two and a  half one and a half you guys are still winning   for now at least for now all right this next one  this snack one this next one is really important   well we're just gonna win it's going to be  like you guys did last week start off very   slow very poorly and then we're going to take  over ikaro do you do you like what's on the board oh am i not following the right guy auto   wgc is your day i thought it  was already falling i'm sorry oh okay that's weird i love this i love this this  is this is the this is the pinnacle right here   black is playing this so weird by the way why did  you play knight bd7 like preemptively i just feel   very odd about that move okay come on b5 this  should be something finish the development please   all right he's a true  sicilian player oh but there's   there's all right let's see how reigns how  reigns does now actually reigns he's like   1800 strength but he's a i've been playing  four player with him also he's like better um b4 was not a good move was it why didn't  black take on before hikara well yes the return to normal was really a wood oh my  god this is this is content how are you are   your mashed potatoes homemade where are they  from they're from the supermarket so they're   good they're good i just turned a little bit  of butter earlier today but they're dry too   because i didn't have time to throw them in  the microwave so it's as good as it can be   ah i can't believe that we returned to commentary   tomorrow it felt weird today i got i  got to sleep just a little bit longer   yeah i didn't sleep longer but certainly not  not going live at like 9am it did feel different man how are you guys going to play  this opening and then play the move b4   what are we doing right and the good thing here  is that uh the the bishop on e2 is very passive yeah black did something really really well  there with the queen in c7 i mean he just put the   pawn forward on c4 and that was it g5  and bishop d6 i think black should be   better because of the past with bishops  on b2 and a2 very messy position though that's what you want my chat is asking if i ever  cook food for myself do you cook food lobby or not   no okay so your girlfriend's cooking then  yeah she uh she's she's an amazing cook   no i it's it's it's kind of like  it's sort of similar to you know lex   like there's that whole yeah so  like when he when he's on the grind   i think i don't know if it's his girlfriend or his  fiance maybe even his wife i don't know but like   um it's the same like whenever he goes on a break  he comes back with food and he always shows it   to the so it's uh yeah i mean i just first of all  i i like if i really wanted to i could but um yeah   we split responsibilities there i i clean things  and uh she assembles culinary items because   no that's good probably run the house down would  you do a cooking stream i mean i do i do actually   cook but i'm just lazy right now i don't want  to cook if i don't have to but yes i can cook   i just don't want to well what would it  take to get you to do a cooking stream   i don't know i mean i i definitely i  have i can actually cook but it depends you know what to do like do they  want me to do like some kind of like   stew some kind of like just do  some classic like salmon and like   the veggies what are the i mean it  depends what they want mac and cheese   get some craft together here yeah literally boil  the water throw it throw in the throw on the new   throw in those uh not throwing the macaroni throw  in the cheese pack and some like one quarter spoon   of milk yes that's that's not cooking guys  okay as usual in our commentary uh we we we   lulled for about five five moves so now we have  this is actually kind of a fascinating position i i really like the a pawn like that might  prove black should be much better though two   bishops maybe c4 c5 after we see it what's your  move i well i wouldn't have gone to c7 i don't   know why he didn't just go to you know back  nice c4 just winning c4 he'll never play that oh but reigns is also in a deep time trouble yeah  this is not good it's not three two guys remember oh 40 seconds okay so this is really this is really unpleasant for  white bishops are way too strong knight is very well i like how black is thinking like black's  like he's just he's aghast at this move all right   i don't know all right but i guess he had  to move quickly uh yeah he couldn't couldn't   take with the queen yes coming that's a  good defense that's a weird move but okay you can't do anything here with three seconds  it's it's it ain't gonna happen oh man all right   all right we lose we lose two and a half two  and a half it's like it's honestly it's feels it's getting closer gg but surely b4 was the  start of some problems you're not you're not   supposed to go b4 in that position you really  should try to focus where you have more space um   the thing is that when you when you play b4 and  you open up another front like you're not prepared   to attack on that side all right the next game  is starting all right kara khan one of the best   one of the best pretty standard so far ef6 uh this has been  played in many many games um okay bishop d3 and   knight f3 is not the most challenging setup for  white i would say but i think the black is doing   black is slightly worse just to the bad pawn  structure here but the problem is my subs well   i guess this is your sub with black right yes so  he's been watching too much of my stream so he   created the double fonts by his free free will  and volition he didn't he wasn't forced into it   yeah but it's a little bit peculiar because if you  play the tartak tower how do you play bishop e7   like is there a bishop bishop d6 i guess okay  he's through true that's true yeah because   the bishop normally goes on d6 to target  h2 agreed um i like to teach the target   coward to students because what what will  often happen um is there's a couple plans   so the one that my my good friend alex ostrovsky  teaches the students and when white plays h3 like   lazily just throws an h3 you play like bishop  f5 queen c8 and sacrifice on h3 and just go for   yes of course of course yeah there is this i like  white's position here though again classic h4   played by uh played by alpha zero here so sorry  dj blunders but of course an alpha zero move   yes he's not utilizing the services  of uh of one alpha zero can i uh   okay i'm gonna ask you a question that you can  answer or not it's not about you it's more about   do you have any idea how these top-level players  get access to some of these super computers like   is that something that the public is not allowed  to know what i would say nowadays i think ever   i mean just the general computing power that's  publicly available is good enough um so it's not   an issue uh but i would say like in the old days  if i go way back when vessel and topalov played   against this vishwanathan and on for the world  championship i believe that was 2000 then eight   maybe i think it was like they they got access  to the super computer at the state university   i believe it was and uh in sofia and bulgaria so  i think for that one they had to get they'd like   basically get state access nowadays because of the  processing power of computers just that's publicly   available i don't really think you need to do  that anymore but there are certain people who uh   who have been more like on the ball in terms of  the topic than um than other players at least in   the last like five to ten years oh i just got  told that uh when alpha zero came out karyakin   requested access to it with a hundred thousand  dollars and he got rejected oh really okay yeah   also what the hell was bishop c2 and why did  white just move a piece and not defend a c4 pawn   well i mean first of all i mean i i mean i  know a hundred thousand dollars a lot of money   don't get me wrong but i think to google a  hundred thousand dollars is is kind of like   are you are you joking like are you for real  that's fair yes i don't know to google i think   a hundred thousand dollars is kind of like like a  joke i don't mean that in a rude way but like it   is a joke to google like i'm sorry to google it is  like it's like channel points minus 100k right um   so so so yeah i think to google that's  like yeah that's like a penny um   here comes the pogos again uh right um so so  yeah i mean i assume that it's just one of   those things like you just like why would you  get public access there's there's no reason to um and of course that's why you have leela now so  basically it's like reverse engineering alpha zero   um and it's gonna take much longer to get it  to that same point but they will eventually   get there to where it's comparable to alpha  zero yeah 100k pays a fifth of the salary   of one of the developers exactly true oh  my god this is this is a very bad game by   by blonde by dj blunders yeah somehow i didn't  go h6 first of all i should have gone pawn to h6   um i thought maybe after queen d5 there was h6  king h6 um and some queen c1 like maybe this this   and queen sue queen c1 was some kind of discovered  attack but he didn't do it and now he's just lost yeah this is well i mean it's guys you gotta again  for for all the competitors that are coming up you   do not have bonus time today so i want to see  good chess i don't want to see this craziness   with 15 seconds versus 115. right blitz if you're  spending 15 seconds a move more than two times the   game that's bad you need to keep a pace you need  to feel the flow hikaru has said that many times   himself about blitz so and bullet right much  more so than blitz but yeah oh that was a free   pawn on c6 um why do you guys just oh oh come  on yeah baby come on we're back in it rookie   six is coming he's going to get checkmated no  now it's game on again please defend yourself wait but how do you either oh i'm  not sure how how is black not just   losing eval bars look very slightly better  for black so oh oh oh come on come on baby oh icaru i think the move was queen e4  the only move that was holding on   instead of queen e6 so winning why  didn't he take guys you got to look   for checks he didn't take first of all i  mean from an instructive stance yes yes yes   yes yes oh yes yes yes yes yes there we go there  we go oh my god but he's got eight seconds he's   still going to lose it doesn't matter oh my god  20 seconds oh my god please just keep thinking oh my god that was unsatisfying  oh my god that was that was nuts   what hour are you allowed to curse on your stream  you're very family friendly i i i really hold it   back i got to tell you well i mean i don't  i don't do i don't have hikaru after dark so   i always keep it family friendly okay all right  well that was quacking ridiculous i mean that was   oh my god you guys are gonna make jesus  yeah what's the score are we up one we   should have been down one two and a half oh  my god that should never have by the way so   instead of queen e6 on move 28 uh-huh queen  e4 with x-ray defense right and then the g6   yeah queen e4 yep that's what yeah so 26 rick g6  was just winning on the spot because black takes   you lose the queen if you move the king you just  take the knight basically uh soul pyromaniac is   there i think soul pyromaniac he's he's in i'm  following him i think he just joined live chess   is your guy there dominic i think so yeah  he's there all right cool we're ready to go   oh you guys are costing us big money wait  your guy wow e4 knight f6 oh my god okay   he's playing he's playing a garbage opening  but he's 1800 so it's not actually garbage   right um now they're in a french right so c5 and  a6 right yeah because there's this french line who   was it i think it was iman hamilton was saying  you should go knight g8 and play like a french   but somehow you get the knight on g instead of  d7 and that struggle is a little bit odd but i   i don't know it just seemed weird well there's a  lot of different setups like for example there's   this you know there's the e6 b6 setup where you're  the other knight the g8 knight goes to c6 and then   the other one goes to d7 right um so yeah all  sorts of oh well black's just winning now okay   yeah what is guys you cannot be losing on move  six with white let alone against the french what are you doing ah this is so upsetting so yeah i think um black is  doing pretty well here 94 queen d7 and knight c6   black is just winning up one extra  juicer in the center should be very good   all right well never say never uh yeah  it's not clear you have to develop in a   very professional manner here  so we'll see what black does   yeah white's got some the good the only good thing  about white's position is that white is castled   and white is first a complete development and  there are some tricks right ah oh my god you   guys are really stressing me out here how you  play i'm gonna go look up some stats oh wait   no i can't because i have the spreadsheet open  soul pyromaniac has played a lot of chess games   how does he not know how to play against the  french icaru oh the french is a tough opening   but also is the move order the move order was  off because it was out of an alien's defense   sure yeah maybe he plays like the  advanced french or something sorry   heart rate monitor for sub battles that's  an idea for us obviously not for the players one thing i've never used no i've never used  them i've actually never even not had an apple   watch nothing nothing okay um you had to you  had this the magnus uh right right which is   it's never fun it's like it's like it's like  when i go to see when i i haven't gone to see   a doctor in years because like i don't need to  but um maybe that's bad i actually shouldn't   say that slightly irresponsible to say that  yeah i was like hold on isn't it like yeah   that's actually a little bit irresponsible i feel  like isn't that what the politicians say like   you're young but like you know you think you're  invisible but that's why you got to buy health   care um anyway let me not go there uh but  but as i was saying um as as i was saying   anytime i go to the doctor i was growing up  it's like i would always have really bad uh   bad blood pressure because it's like you're  freaked out you're scared like you're going to   see the doctor so like if you're going to see the  doctor it's always really really bad um but like   normally it's completely fine but because you're  like oh oh my god i'm seeing the doctor you just   freak out and um and so so like i always had bad  bad blood pressure when i would go see a doctor   yeah i'm i'm terrified of needles so as a kid  like it was always a mystery to me whether or   not i'd need a blood draw and my parents would  always lie and somehow i'd always believe them   okay so wait who's the bad person here i'm like  saying don't go don't go and see the doctor you're   like saying just lie so you don't have to like  get blood drawn no i'm not i'm saying my parents   would lie to me as a kid because they'd be like  they're not going to take your blood oh they would   oh and then they would okay yeah it's okay yeah  yeah right um my entire chat just rallied around   someone who's oh it was nathan nathan said you  don't go to see doctors doctors come to see you   that's that's that's what we've that's  that's what we've evolved to now so   okay this is very dangerous actually knight g6 is  a huge threat here winning the rook on f7 um okay   that's a great move pinning the queen in the night  no sacrifice on g6 maybe queen f6 maybe e5 at the   right moment um it's a great move because knight  g6 was coming and that was just crushing sorry oh man he's redeeming himself a bit i have a bad  feeling black is going to mess up right around now   new queen f6 maybe king h8 very  dangerous position for both sides that's a i think that's a good move after h5  what's your move or i guess i shouldn't say moves   yeah i was i mean it's it's good  enough for the situation i thought   there's some tricks okay yeah that that's what  i was thinking he's gonna play but well no i   was very close too so this is messy this is  messy all right is chess.com not loading uh   don't don't jinx it buddy we're having a  good show um everything is good for now yeah right it's like the fred this looks  like the fred well no no it doesn't king he was just winning and then you take off   yeah that was not good guys he let the  queen get out of danger that was too   oh this yeah this is what i was going to say  but i think black's position is really good   his position is really good oh my god he's just  he's so low on time holy hell what is he doing   just move bro move move dude move dude  oh no no white's moving move move move   move just move just move you got  no time just working [ __ ] we're   catching hail mary he'll marry it no come  on he's down six seconds you can't do it no soul pyromaniac pulling that out on improv no it was a terrible win like i i i  will be completely honest that was uh   that was but he but he he got the job done but  uh my goodness that was not a good win that was   terrible yeah not gonna lie okay and don't play  king f7 you gotta go king h8 you gotta avoid   checks when you're in that situation yeah all  right we're back up too i mean dude it's been oh   and uh i'm not really happy  about the situation here but   i thought kind of pink jank jake was the sub of  your channel too yeah he uh he signed up for both   expressly said to folks not to do that then he  hung out in my chat the entire intro to the stream   okay talk to everybody and then when the roster  came out he was like oh sorry and then he left   okay all right interesting accent lady yeah that  was my um except wait didn't you just hang a pawn oh ah okay good good good good good good  why would you put the bishop on b7 and then   and not capture the pawn of course okay it's like literally the whole point of the  opening but whatever wow bishop b2 might be the you know hikaru the last time kind of thing  jake played in a sub battle he played c4 right   i think so because you're the  guy who wanted to play e4 correct   correct um he then said after that game that  he would so he did he's following his word   no he played c4 on one again  oh okay oh he's gonna play e4   and then he's still still playing  c4 right well c4 is a good move   also levy you don't play e4 move one so why  are you telling people to play e4 i play e4 wait i play e4 d4 i mean like in classical i  thought you were like always playing d4 i played   d4 c4 e4 g3 no no no no no you you don't play e4  because that term in vegas you were not playing   e4 on move one i'm sure of it no yeah i know i  was playing d4 but since then i've been playing   e4 a lot okay you've changed okay okay okay yeah  i uh i get bored of openings i mean c4 is fun so   um this is looking pretty ugly for  white you've changed luffy exactly yeah what's the best opening i love when folks ask  me like super specific questions takara what   is the best opening against d4 for black in  2100 elo against d4 uh i would say was like   a hundred percent certainty the nimzo indian  hundred percent nimso indian knight f6 100 or you can play like danny wrench and play the   the blue and fell the bononi like um banco gamma  type stuff the the wild and very questionable   stuff yeah yeah i mean you can do that too but  generally i would i would i'd say the nimso i remember i was teaching somebody who was like  15 1600 and every game that they had in the nimso   with the black pieces they were winning people  just fall apart oh my goodness what that was   okay it's still okay if he finds the next  couple of good moves but will he i doubt it i chat i said nemzo i didn't  say the nim i said nemzo   i didn't say the nim indian i said that he said  the nim so all right rook f4 here fantastic move   i don't know is my sarcasm gonna uphold for  stream snipers rook f4 rook h5 rook takes f2   is on this i mean it is no recap 2 was interesting  nim so indian yeah it's very funny chat oh my gosh oh we trapped the rook nice oh good move very nice  move i mean after playing bishop b2 and bishop a3   it was only fitting it went back to the square  it started on but it was actually a good move   and now the rook is trapped you seem conflicted like normally you'd be like  oh man i'm losing but you seem conflicted because   this guy's on your squad normally too right i  i wanna look i want a good sub battle honestly   like sometime like that that's i don't want a  wash one way or the other i'm still waiting for   like when it's going to be like 7-0 you guys like  will you be upset at 7-0 or will you be like hi   it's 7-0 what do you think is ah good okay now  it's over right this takes bishop good good now   it's over okay so you weren't that wasn't the face  on my question that was about the position i just   got like two super ignored oh oh sorry you're  saying it was 7-0 would i be how would i would   you be rubbing it in or would you be like oh man i  wish it was closer you know i'd be wishing it was   closer i always like close matches doesn't matter  what sport what game it is i don't like run away   well unless you're playing yes if i'm playing then  it's different but that's okay that that's that   holds true fair um i i'm still like a little bit  skeptical here like somehow that white will start   taking all this time no the white house 30 seconds  more yeah but like just slow it down okay or black   can just lose on time i mean that's not true what  is he ah he a little nervous he a little nervous wow he just like like that was it he just like  ran out of time fair enough that's surprising okay   i mean sure it's cool a little bit  uneventful yeah kind of being jake   played a nice game good night game i'll  be having a talk with him off stream okay next game coming up i guess  four and a half three and a half   that was it's gonna be close yeah this  this it's getting closer fortunately talk off stream that's gonna be a ban right  levy no he's a he's he's he's a vip they   they tend to get away with certain things  you know like no shoes no shirt no service   he strolls in no shoes no shirt orders  a drink somehow we still give him one what jake now he's in my chat saying i'm sorry  boys get the get out of here go support the   hikaru's team what listen you picked your side  for this battle it's fine you don't need to hikara   have you ever had an opponent like obviously  not nobody in the top does this but like when   you were younger did anybody like beat you and  say i'm sorry after the game no of course not   i've seen this happen and it's just the weirdest  thing like if you swindle someone they say like   i'm sorry by the way big shout out to kilter  thank you for the six month three sub and   thank you for the five gifts as well thank  you so much appreciate kill dear thank you   that's five people who now can play in the  next sub-battle oh okay this is a bit much   h4 is just a bad move it is but not if castle's h5  then at least it gets interesting true true um all   right i mean that was a very expedited yeah but  you can't play bishop d3 knight of three bishop   before and h4 okay so now black has played like c5  or e5 some kind of break in the center is required all right queen g2 i like it and this is why beginners should  not play the the modern of the   pier because you don't know how  to break the center of the board   and it's like this knight does not belong on  h7 it should have gone to g4 to support e5 oh my god but he did it he actually got  e5 oh and now this is just good for black   is it not like i don't i still think white  is better because the pawn pawn on h5 with   the knight on h7 but yeah it's not it's not  trivial at any rate that's what i would say   okay it takes takes i mean yeah white needs  to be very i mean that's that is not how you   play this position i mean you got to go you  know you got to play i don't want to say it oh do wait what what just happened  what the wait what just what what happened what's happening can't white  just take the free rook what wasn't there a free   work on d8 what hikaru that's literally why i made  that noise oh i lost my headphones my headphones   got bugged as i leaned back i didn't hear your  noise sorry you didn't hear me screaming no i   didn't sorry sorry i didn't hear it because i  had to plug my headphones back in i damn near   had a heart attack oh i i i didn't actually  see it sorry why are you what is this guy   doing oh my oh no content is beginning way too  early i thought oh my god no i didn't i didn't   because my headphones came unplugged so i had  to replug it so i'm just like taking my merry   times i assumed you're guys just winning i didn't  want to really rush to plug my headphones back in oh my i mean i am in cause i'm  not sure i can digest my dinner   nope what is h4 yeah don't do this to your  structure all right um a5 is under attack okay at least he defended it why is white trading all the pawns  like oh i mean i meant to say black but this this was a bad game of chess yeah  yeah this was a very bad game i mean   but your guy wins unfortunately well i'll  never say never hold on he's not even going   to see queen he's got 10 he didn't he didn't  secretly no he's got a minute 10 seconds sorry   he's he's going to play queen f4 probably  like that that's that's the ultimate turn   of events he'll hang his queen like i'm  i'm pretty sure he'll hang his queen   he's gonna play queenie five no i bet you're  probably 20 subs that he won't hang his queen   okay well that's right yeah yeah it's like  what's the price of bitcoin now let me change it   to 20 000 yeah all right all right all right  unfortunate that was that was that was subpar it happens it's still it's only two  right yeah it's still only two okay okay follow yo lance lotal lancelot's all you gotta get into live chess buddy   don't do this to me right now where he  at oh my goodness is he really not there appreciate all the subs by the way  guys i i do see you we are just   insane by the way to my subs also thanks so much   um all right he's there he's there he's there  he's in live chess now he's he's good he's in oh okay so pretty standard so far there should  be five uh this is an exchange car con right   well again this is this is exactly  why it's good for black because   a lot of people with the white pieces play knight  c3 not realizing it doesn't belong here i mean   yeah like that is usually nice that  is showing pure class so that way   you can play c3 and consolidate the  uh consolidate the pawns pure class okay isolated pawn position knight on c6 is  hanging will he defend it will he defend it all right queen c4 hits the knight on season  nice move that's a really nice move by lancelot   yeah both guys have been inspired by  the other to like move the knight back   okay rook c8 oh no that that was not  so passive i like how fast they're   playing i do not like how fast they're  playing because my guy's playing worse   right yeah the time is it's the slight issue here okay there's some moves by the way for my chat  i'm not gonna answer random questions right now   maybe later but not right now i'm not gonna ask  about like what do i think about india as a travel   destination we're very focused on the game of  our subs as we should be they are subscribing   to our channel so we are focused on the chess  right now my mom went to india to write for   some story i forgot where she was i think she was  in mumbai last year wait is her mom a journalist   she is columbia columbia j school oh  i had i had no idea i have very oh it's okay i mean 94 is a tough  move you know it's like a   yeah it's like a good move it's tough for them  oh good so good rook c2 is just winning the game   oh that's just a classic right triangle yeah  rook down one instead of to the left it's fine   all right wow dude the guy playing with the white  pieces his name is aragon do you remember that   there was a movie or a book or something like i  don't remember exactly what it was it was some   sort of dragon book series i don't aragon um  what is it called yeah um there was something   you're right i don't remember what exactly but  you're right there was something yeah book and   movie of course as usual chad just literally  knows everything about everything right right   yeah i swear if we ever had a barbecue they would  all be like tall like stuck up you know glasses   on the nose like yes i started this break in the  deer it's quite surprising that you didn't know maybe queen a2 is a move to hit the pawn on a6 pause champ all right rook b3 i feel like is  it just me or did black just move a lot of   yeah black misplayed it but black is still better  because the isolated pawn on d4 that's for sure   yeah okay one minute i don't  like that we're down 20 seconds okay that's a very tricky move let's see if he that's why you guys  always got to look for checks great move that is that is a okay that's a little  it's a little bit bold don't hang your rook wow he's that that was a nice maneuver  i mean he's been studying end games   okay okay so probably g3 here to stop h4  um black is still better here yeah there's   moves that we oh man wow  he's playing really well like i mean he's he's obviously gonna  take that you gotta create the no in some ways i can actually see that move like  being okay oh my g he finds rook d4 i mean he just so this can be a draw right like this is easy  draw if he finds the right move good move   wow these guys are playing i mean these  dudes like took lessons before the stream   or something like out of it no oh no maybe  f4 is good i don't i made a five oh come on   okay maybe they didn't take lessons before the  stream all right he knows knights go backwards   all right all right that is a weird move what are  you doing with that what's that move all about   what's that move all about oh my oh oh i knew it  wasn't gonna happen oh okay um he offered him a   draw he offered him a draw oh my god they're  going to repeat oh my god oh they're going   to repeat they're going to repeat oh my god they  repeated oh my god taking the knight twice on e1   okay i've seen too much i highlight   you guys are looking good today um yeah what  are today's lottery numbers oh my goodness oh   my goodness twitch.tv slash gm picaro and gotham  chess only only the best content oh my oh god oh god my heart rate is actually  escalating by the way like oh goodness gracious oh my god all right next  game is on by the way yeah yeah yeah okay let's   let's watch this game okay we've got the  uh four nights italian which as we know   is not very good for white although at  this level it's probably pretty decent   holy oh my god oh i actually gotta like  breathe whoa that was really insane yeah   wow does he know what he's doing  or did he just hang a pun not sure he doesn't know what he's doing unless this is  theory like no no but i mean he misplayed it what's the score i don't know it's  definitely not up on the screen though   oh man no it's 5'3 i mean this feels  like white should have something but   i don't know quite what white  has here it's just very dicey all right take a deep breath   by the way for the future we need to make it  a mandate that players have a profile picture   okay they need to show who they are some sort of  valid identification like the guy playing with the   with the white pieces what is that is that  like a what is that it's a sort of alien no it's not it's um i don't i  don't it's a mask or something   okay okay um okay d5 or castles black  is fine yes blicky i don't know how   much better i don't know if black is  much better or not but this is just uh tricky maybe h6 maybe castle's next move  um just a tricky position for both sides   yeah but i think from a from a practical  standpoint probably probably black is doing i mean   as i'm saying that i'm seeing all these you know  two bishop ideas and so we'll see what he does but   um i don't know okay that is a very direct move i  this game might end in the next five moves like i   i mean i think black is better but it's very  tricky white has the bishop pair bishops are   coming in black is up the extra juicer on c6 but  it's not so easy to play let's put it this way   i don't like that move oh i hate this move yeah  it's a terrible move yeah that's a little too bold   because now his knight is not leaving the defense  of the king and a lot of people psychologically   don't like to go back to where they were which  might very well be the best move true true true   so no well the guys i'm not talking about okay  he actually did it so credit to him another draw   repetition i'm i'm okay with the draw here  i think i don't like the position for black   okay all right that's that's a that's a good move  yeah white's down 30 seconds so maybe you don't   like the drop no no i actually know now i hate  the draw hey how's it going mr daniel wrench we   were talking about you earlier in your fantastic  openings that you played when you were 2100 um so   we just we were remarking about what a genius  you are for for how well you played and what a   professional approach you had all those many many  years ago danny's uh danny's the best i think the   last time we did something as well he was like  also reselling danny danny knows when the danny   should play by the way like one of these upcoming  events like he got to play he played i am not gm   but then he choked it right at the end against  teddy was it oh that was such a match i gotta   tell you man uh that match really made me think  i would i would walk through to the semi-finals   and uh that did not happen yeah i mean i don't  know i don't know but it happens it happens   it does that that match made me reflect also  danny definitely didn't you know danny reese   subbed recently or something i thought he did  something he did he did do something i don't   know what that something was but it was it wasn't  something because apparently he just resubbed for   23 months to my channel um thank you so much  danny for the resub i'm about to 500k followers   uh yeah i think we're pretty close for  like 486 thousand so uh thanks again to   everybody for the love and support you guys are  amazing um appreciate it thank you once again   my chat chill out you

like he bribed you so  you could play no he didn't bribe he just asked   okay but he couldn't play last  week but he gets played this week   well last week he asked me afterwards he was like  hey okay

at six and um i well i played my first   tournament yeah i guess i guess right yeah i was  seven so okay yeah same here i was like seven but   yeah what's the average age of oh 94 was better  oh my god oh my oh my god the kid the boy wonder oh my goodness yes see i i knew that there  was something involved like you weren't   being honest you totally knew he was a  ringer a ringer no no no no no no way   can i play can i play i'm sure you're on the phone  it's like yeah what's your actual uscf rating oh   1100 yeah then sure of course you can play  no no i i i don't know who it is i mean   yeah that was that was a nice trick also i i  mean hikaru more than anything else what is   white what is white doing is really the question  i don't know i'm very disappointed because most   norwegians actually show a great understanding  of the game of chess even if they're underrated   what no it's just it's just it's always funny when  we go that way no but i mean norwegians are under   oh my god norwegians are just underrated i've  noticed like even if they're like 1800 they play   like much stronger um but this guy's from norway  and he's really disappointing me unfortunately   that was that was well done that was  not good at all that was really not good wow what a game by the kid and again you guys are  ahead oh wow no we still got three to go right   yes yes we do one second i'm gonna i put my window  in front oh this okay this this all right let's   see what we got in this next one oh i think i  know what's coming oh he's stonewalling him but   against king's indian not great not the greatest  choice no definitely not but it's still decent hikaru get a beer and chill i can't chill this  is like this these are my subs like if my subs   are doing if my subs aren't winning like it means  that i'm doing a bad job as a streamer because it   means they're not like learning from me i'm  not doing a good job of teaching them so it's   very personal chad i can't just take a beer and  chill we uh we we had some chaos uh earlier uh in   in in in my discord a little bit because um  prosecutor was writing that uh like he made a   mistake like reading something and so he said i  i can't read yet i'm nine and then somebody got   very uh they got very they they went full karen  and they were like you can't be on twitch unless   you're 30 he's not actually nine so they uh they  tried to get him to not play they try to you know   be like you can't let him play because you're  gonna get banned if you let a nine-year-old play   okay and it turns out a seven-year-old can play  so i but he doesn't have a twitch account so   right right of course yeah that's what matters  yeah well why don't why don't we just like stream   an hour lesson in the future just like a lesson  you know just teach the teach the subs about how to play chess true true yeah   yeah it's been a wild wild affair so far um  hopefully my guy finds a good move with the night with the knight oh i was following another player  and uh they started a game yeah it popped up   no you guys are you guys are you guys  got one one game of action and that's it   someone wrote subscribe but no twitch account yeah it's it's it's just  pops it's just pops i mean   that's a good one oh yes queen d4 what a move  brilliant shot picking up the bishop on c4 i   don't i feel like if white goes bishop e3 black's  gonna take on b2 i feel like or maybe he's going   to take on e4 he's going to see the free pawn he's  like no he's going to see the free juicer yes yes   come on these are my subs lovey and he's got  the french flag so he knows how to play shots although this isn't the french flat that's bahrain   okay you were trolling you were trolling now you  were trolling stop it no but it's the right color   or am i blind maybe it's because my background is  blue but that far left part looks blue it looks   like blue white and red oh if you have a blue  background then yes it blew yeah blue white red is   is friends yes yes fine fine i mean on my layout  it's blue that's why so i thought so yeah what the what hold up bro it's the right color scheme  i'm right the right color is blue white red   yeah i'm talking about i'm talking about the game  no blue white red is correct yeah i didn't know   your background was blue mine is yeah it's a messy  game though it's still not clear that white's   gonna win this is it not okay rick d it's a good  move actually um and now black probably will   no but on my background it's not black you guys on  my background it's blue that's why it's different   so like you guys see black it's actually blue  on my background it's like a very dark blue   so that's why the the color that i see  is blue because my background is black   i'm not joking you guys you don't have to  believe me but i'm being serious okay fine   i'll take a screenshot and i'll post it later  um just get get it get get it in the discord   agreed agreed i have to edit it but yeah i  did um wait hi carl you are you're really   lucky you're not paying attention to this  game why oh no he oh no what did he just do just pray just pray i think  black's still winning right black is still winning black is still winning i'm  gonna stay very cool yes yes yes yes trade just   take the queen take the queen please take the q  okay good good how you put your queen yeah right   next to this man's king and by the way for my  chat i am literally posting it yes good good stuff this man played bishop h6  after he traded the queen   wrong order he should have  done it with the queen on f6 i just posted sub only chat by the way for those  of you guys who don't believe me i just post the   color um all right so okay black has three  extra juicers he's got rook g3 move the rook   push the pawn and see my chat says that's  a really dark blue so yeah it's blue good that's not blue it's blue chat  don't don't don't don't bully me uh okay i'm back okay so e6 takes king e6 h3h2  um it's not a chat it's not black it's blue do i   you want me to show it's blue it's a dark blue  anyway whatever okay a2 a1 black swing right yeah   see it's not black it's dark  navy blue that's good good good okay he's gonna demonstrate  the technique popularized by   french super talent of the  17th century maxime ladur sorry what i don't know i just  literally said some utter [ __ ] um dude okay anyway um there are kids watching so  please uh yes yes yes yes yep yep i apologize   relax i apologize yep um um is it even no i  think you guys are up by one you're up by one   it's seven six wow i i you know i'm tired i kept  trying to type forward slash follow uh in twitch   chat and i was like why is it not letting me  do it okay once it's very tight if you guys   win this one you guys win if we win it's tied if  it's a draw then then then we have then my team   has to win the final game well it'll be just like  before huh correct correct what's the tie breaker   i don't okay i'll just call it a draw  okay all right let's go let's watch this   come on stone worker you got this  man you got this you got this   okay let's go come on he's got one bar of  connection he's got one bar of connection   okay fine it doesn't matter he's playing the  london system because he's a g i'm like a bond   like e3 bishop d3 knight f3 oh sorry did i  inadvertently just insult you by saying that   kind of say what because i just said  a little g i'm like uh like a mod   no i don't feel insulted well because what  is fg3 oh my god what is that you're right um what is fg3 you're you always take with the h pawn  you always capture towards the center always um   okay anyway whatever okay so see 392 just play  play play play fast play good just win oh my oh   man oh we we this dude six which was terrible  too we we have to do an under 2 000 sub battle   like we just have to um because you want me to  die like from the pain yes i mean i i literally   i think we should do an under dude you know what  we should do we should do an under 2000 sub battle   with yeah yeah yes come on come on bring  it home come on bring it home bring it home   bring it home no oh no no no no he  protect the bishop but he didn't   even he couldn't oh yeah he could have  taken for free uh oh you put the bishop bro he played bishop a6 because he wanted a  bishop trade but then he didn't take his push-up   um yes okay and then clock bishop jesus the  plot thickens oh my god okay so this is what   we should do under 2 000 sub battle  in suits and ties super professional   like okay like the whole time straight face  analysis okay and it would be it would be   top level content i need an excuse to wear my suit  like i don't know what i mean so true i have not   worn a suit in a very long time now probably  like since december like it's crazy yeah so   we're describing better for my  guys this is getting much better   no it's no this is this is not good for anyone yes  come on bring it home let's go let's bring it home   i don't know suits don't really always suck to  wear like they're you look good in a suit you   feel yeah let this this is a family friendly  stream i didn't say anything i did did i swear   i mean this is what all coaches do by the way if  anyone like coaches don't express this emotion but   in the back room and the kids playing like and  we're all oh no it's oh no we just learned how   to hide the emotions wow knight h4 is a great move  too like fantastic move puts pressure on the pawn   fantastic move excellent excellent excellent  knight h foursome is actually a great move   i've got nothing to say yeah wow after playing f  takes g3 he has justified f takes g3 yep oh okay   that's slightly less no it's still winning though  come on come on yeah okay yes yes and it was a   pre-move too so if you played queen h6 work of a  he would have won that was a premium two okay good   okay this is good back in business back in  business we're gonna be tied with one game to go no he's gonna hang his queen to the  bishop oh and you block the bishop i said you're gonna hang the  queen through the bishop yes   see he would have hung the queen true true oh my god man oh it's good oh it's going to get  dicey oh it's going to get real oh what a move   what a move checkmate in one coming up here what a move rook out five is crazy like knight  h4 is great then like five bad moves and he   finds rook f5 which is just he's gonna still  play rook f5 like he will no wow what the hell come on let's go disconnect dude with your  one bar yes yes yes yes perfect fantastico   oh my god it is seven seven and it  all comes down to the final game one more one more let's see who's who's  gonna get it you're gonna give your money   pep talk no no pep talk no pep talk no no before  because he signed up to play and i said listen   when it comes down to it dusty mcfly hey i feel  like last time we had matt damon now we got   mcfly uh-huh true okay come on come on linux let's  go you got this man you got this e4 let's go carl   khan don't you have a karo khan match coming up  later as well i do i i'm playing with the black   people are you feeling good about your match  against you or you think you're going to lose   this is a setup i i'm not going to say  anything i'm not you're not doing it   no no we're not it's like it's like when  she said hey let's do a let's do a speed   run you versus me to hikaru's top 50 and i was  like uh-huh let's not um i'm feeling good i'm   feeling good but it's three two she's she's quite  good at three two obviously i can't you know just   go [ __ ] degenerate and yeah and flag so oh okay  okay standard sloth i don't know about this order   by white but pretty standard maybe bishop g4  maybe e6 whoa e5 very bold is that a slipper   do you think he intended to do that no he's trying  to take the center he's principled but he didn't   realize that white could take which actually  beginners don't realize in queen spawn position   it's not so clear though oh yes yes come on come  on he's gonna take he's gonna fork him yes yes   yes okay it's still not over though okay  save the bishop save the okay it's not over   okay it's still not over though it's only it's  only one bishop okay take it take it take it   don't take it don't take it don't take it  what are you thinking about like you got   castler take the pawn have you ever played chess  before it's so toxic lovey just so toxic oh my god   yeah i'm i'm i'm very frustrated if you we're  losing three games we needed one game to put it   away what are we golden state like jesus steph  curry by the way if you ever want to play chess   right here here's the co-host this is who you got  to hit up right here i don't know where are you   on the screen that way okay okay good good good  good good good good good okay feel very close the good thing is that despite being down  a piece the position's closed but why is he   is his connection like bad like he's i mean come  on you're trying to rag my guy for having a bad   connection so it's only fair that your guy's  a bad connection too i know but i don't know   if he's just hesitating and nervous because  like i understand listen playing on stream   it's the final game this is going to go in  every single video ever so right this is true okay good black just think just think tough  position off position a lot of options oh by   the way just to be clear since my chat is talking  about clay thompson actually is a legitimate shots   for probably like 1500 or something um very  legit though he likes chess yeah he he needs   to make an account maybe he lurks these streams  who knows yeah well i know he took lessons from   a master in in portland so he definitely has  played chass anyway okay sir's in portland no i wasn't even like i don't know anybody  from port i don't know anybody from oregon   who plays chess 22 hunt oh whoa  whoa okay that's a weird move you realize there's someone from portland right uh i know well i know yes i know that boat says  oh my come on i just meant

it what he he saw  that i'm not saying it's even good but it's a move   no it's it it's still a great idea like keep  thinking keep thinking dude keep thinking keep thinking relax some classical music
