Can someone explain to me why we can’t play Qf5 for white, he is check and black can only moove the queen to f3 and we checkmate on Qf3?
9:53 – "I don't know why it's not called a horse." In Hungarian it is and I'm sure there are other languages, too.
Also, in Hugarian, the word for "castling" is also used as slang for sh*tting your pants, lol
I think I prefer this version of Levy over the overhyped version he portrays on his youtube channel.
THE ROOOOOOOOOK!
in serbia and some other places i imagine we call pawn a pawn king is king queen is queen,knight is called a horse,bishop is called a hunter and rook is called a cannon
Shah mat means check mate in my language
Magnus got beat tho😂
I like bishops over knights. Use them often in combination with the queen. Its how I get most checkmates, and often my oponents dont see it comming. But im around 700, 800 ish 😅
Im ten years old but im have an elo of 2054
I win 73%of my game as black 1 as draw and other as White
Ain't no motherfucking way I'm the only one that thinks this guy looks like Daniel Radcliffe. Especially Daniel Radcliffe as… Well you know 😏
3:00
Check Mate = The king is Dead?
I played lots of chess in jail can lie I lost way more times then I won 😭 the old guys beat everyone but won’t lie playing that game did improve on how fast I can think
🎉
Bobby Fischer ? Can someone tell me why it cannot be Emanuel Lasker instead ?
The only question I have is how can I learn to predict or see more than 1 move on the future bc what if my opponent does something that I completely miss like it's so hard for me to try to see in the future lol
Anyone noticed the time of the video?
16:16
16 whites and 16 blacks
"Shah mat" is in wrong direction :Dd
Bbbbbbbbbbb
Checkmate, Shah-mat, Shah-"dead" met = dead
14:08 can't believe the answer wasn't en passant.
Levi said Schach Matt straight like a German dude. Is he German?
2:53 Or elsewhere 😉
,,,
Lel PBD in the mix
0:22
actually the way he pronounces „Shah mat” is exactly how we pronounce „szach mat” in Polish which means checkmate
Meh
2:50 "vibrating devices in their-" hey whoa whoa whoa
"shoe" oh.
2:59 Thumbnail Question if your lazy..
Wired STOP REFRAMING THE CAMERA EVERYTIME HE TAKES A BREATH
So funny to see Patrick Bet-David featured in this video because I was just at a PHP agency meeting
"hi, i'm daniel radcliffe in disguise"
who else was waiting for the 'now get outta here'
The best way I've cheated in chess is lying to my little brother about the rules
ContraPoints is a bigot who hates non-binary people, you should not have picked her question.
6:15 Except joke openings, like Fool's Mate or Bongcloud.
9:55 funny enough, in Italian the Knight is actually called Cavallo (which translates to Horse).
checkmate in arabic is Kish Malek,, and in Persion is Sha Maat, now sha is king and maat "if its as arabic " means dead, so its kinda like ur king is dead
arabic one is kish malek means like, kish is like when u say in english "shooo" of like go away,, and malek is king
Shut up Gotham sick of you dude
Best opening is clearly the Bongcloud
4:28 love the ContraPoints appearance
Ke2 for your second move in your opening is pretty bad.
B O M G C L O U M D
I’m a simple black man. I see e4, I play Caro-Kann. If I see anything else, I play kings Indian.
Hikaru is a f***ing wolverine.
Harry potter is a really good chess player. Thank you
I did not expect to see Contra in this video 🤣 That's definitely a question I could have foreseen her asking
In Bulgarian a night is called a horse
lmao at 15:25 the closed captioner got "zugzwang" and "zwischenzug" confused
Thank you WIRED! Hope you all enjoyed the episode 😊
