    Persian or Farsi.. Iran has crazy history that’s why the west want it. With all the rest

    9:55 in some languages like serbian or italian it's called horse when i started playing chess again in january 2023 i really didn't understand why it was called knight because all the other times i played were either at school or against my dad i alwys spoke italian or serbian

    I have rarely in my life seen someone answers questions so clearly and directly. I don't believe there is a better way to answer these questions.
    Very articulate man

    Bro really isn’t bringing up Hikaru for the worlds best when he is the worlds best. Even Magnus admits it

    You can't castle if your king is under attack right? How about if it is the rook?

    (شاه مات) checkmate
    Means in arabic the sheick died

    Not that one person that doesn't know chess but watch this because it's WIRED💀💀

    Holy crap me just realising that contrapoints AKA Natalie Wynn asked a chess question that was answered.

    Keying Gary Kasprov’s car pre-match.

    If both sides have 4 pawns in an endgame that promote to a knight bishop queen and rook than is it still an endgame

    its been over a month and hikaru is dominating over magnus xD

    Im glad Harry Potter got past his childhood trauma.

    Fun fact: Shah is usually head of the village or a king, while "mat" translates to died, so checkmate means "your king is dead"

    😐🤔🃏

    I would love to know if there’s ever a reason to promote a pawn to anything other than a queen

    "Or vibrating devices in their shoe or elsewhere."
    If you know, you know.

    first question's asnwer is kinda wrong : its " cheh met " , means the sheep is dead , cheh = sheep , met = dead

    shah means the "shah" king and "mat" means died

    shakmat could possibly mean 'defeat-death' as defeat in Persian is 'shakast' and death is 'marg' so could be- tho idk my dad speaks persian n i asked him to translate the possible meaning, tho what i can tell ya for sure is that king in persian is 'padshah'.
    also checkmate in persian is 'maat' which literally means defeat. great video tho <3

    12:51 if the queen moves back to f4… isn't that instant checkmate in 1…?

    we actually call knight horse "at" like it should be

    Checkmate means your king is dead

    Well I guess the Botez gambit is up there…

    I imagine YT@ContraPoints dominating at chessboxing.

    Something something Daniel Radcliffe.

    isnt it strange to see levy doing an intro without staring into the camera

    i love how he goes "yeah, i solved it" so confidently lmao
