    So basically the python is stronger than a jaguar so far, huh?

    Whoever showed the chess screen. Did not play one of the openings right.

    Shame they couldn't get a pro player, but Levy is cool too I guess.

    "Vibrating devices in shoe or elsewhere" .. we ALL know the exact context he's talking about.

    Contrapoints getting into the questions! 😂

    Contrapoints showing up in this video almost made me cry. I love you so much Natalie

    Always amused how every response move is named after someone

    00:33 thankfully I know arabic so i know that the word "mat" means "di
    ed"

    What is the difference between chess tactics and strategy?

    Paul Morphy and Bobby Fischer had the most talent.

    Fun fact: In some languages the knight is actually called a horse.

    Example:
    The knights name in Latvian- Zirgs
    Zirgs translates to horse.

    Mat al shah in arabic مات الشاه بالاصل

    Never realized Charles Leclerc can play chess!

    Is there anybody tell you that you look like Harry Potter?

    I play competitive Vintage MTG which is way harder than chess. I have no clue what pieces you have or what they do. Unlike chess.

    For those who turned their pawn into ang horsey what happened?

    10:00 In Portuguese, at least in Brazil, the Knight piece is infact called the Horse LMAO

    I didn't know Daniel Radcliff was a pro chess player

    This is really well done
    This guy is a great communicator

    Gotham should have called Hikaru an Asian mom, who always calls you a failure. (Personal experience)

    Just wait till the wokeists come for chess … you know they are gonna

    You lost me by not naming Morphy as one of the best Chess players of all time.

    he said to become a grandmaster you need 2500 he has 2778

    12:54 "How fast can to you find checkmate in 2?"

    Me: Looks at board….this outta be fu….

    12:57 "I found it"

    Me: 😐

    he looks like his name is on the tip of my tongue

    "Magnus has an incredible stamina – he will go on fro 5, 6, 7 hours"

    Taken out of context this line sounds so bad lol

    If 1% of people had the communication clarity that this guy has, a LOT of the problems in the world would simply not exist.

    I have to say that the game not always have 3 phases, for example, the games that ends in mate with 2 or 4 moves. The phases are an style of game, it is not mandatory but is the current standard in serious games and professional level

    2:50 vibrating devices

    people who dont know: 🙂

    people who know: 💀

    "It's extremely difficult to pinpoint exactly what a knight wants to do." You're telling me. I don't even know what my own knights want to do next.
