    The Waffle House has found it’s new host

    The first levi video where he doesn`t tell you to get out of there…

    I cracked up when I saw ContraPoints show up on the questions. He probably has no idea who she is.

    I’m surprised he didn’t say “THEHEHEHE RURURURUURURURRJJRJJRK”

    I always have the same question, is there a pro game in the history that someone promoted a pawn in other piece than a queen? For maybe using it as strategy?

    The unrealistic elements of Queen's Gambit are probably less to do with the mechanics of chess and more standard Hollywood writing stuff: Beth being able to quit her benzos or equivalent so easily and quickly, for one.

    I love how wired are bringing videos based on chess personalities like Gotham and Kasparov. Like they literally have videos with the greatest chess player of all time teaching chess, also that video with gary was alright.

    It resembles a horse but it's called a knight. In Italian is called simply "horse". Another difference: the "rook" we call it "tower".

    This would’ve been epic if you also got Eric Rosen for this one😂

    Great video but thats not how you spell checkmate in Persian its شاه مات

    alright which one of you at wired snuck Natalie in there

    can you win with just king and pawns left

    That check mate explanation makes no sense when you try to apply it to check. This guy is Persian.

    Lmao that last puzzle is one that keeps getting recommended to me in Instagram pocket chess ads. Didn’t know that it was morphy lol

    Yoo I literally said python too for magnus when you said slowly suffocating

    13:28 this was the quietest rook sack comment by Levy that I have ever heard)

    levy is everything but a chess pro wtf is this clickbait

    13:21 I am deeply dissapointed that he didnt said "and then we sacrificed… THE ROOK" and i want some compensation

    The waffle house has found his new host.

    Im Dissapointed.
    He didnt say:
    "But then, you sacrifice… THE ROOOOOOOK!"

    We live in a world where Levy is considered a chess pro 😂

    bro in my country north macedonia and we call checkmate sahmat

    Bruh we literally still say šah mat here… Im mindblown

    "vibrating devices in their shoes or elsewhere"

    Just ftr "Mat" or "Met," like in Arabic and Hebrew, more closely translates to "dead" than "trapped"

    Chess is an Indian sport so it would have been better if Samay Raina was called for this

    This is the Harry Potter that could have beaten that chess game at hogwarts

    I love levy but he isn’t a professional chess player lol.

    … one that ends your life in three moves.

    I love playing black. With black my moves are a little more restricted and as an over anxious second, triple, or one thousandth guesser, I need that.

    “Vibrating devices in your shoe or else where “😂

    Somethings important to note about castling are:

    – you forefit your right to castle if either your king or the rook you wish to castle with have moved.

    – You cannot castle if the king's path crosses a check

    cant wait for him to get canceled for “basically making a video starring contrapoints”
