YOU ARE SO HANDSOME OMG

Actually, being called the bad boy of chess is a huge compliment and could be an enormous marketing tool. You should embrace the opportunity.

Levy : Uses Hans' name to get clicks Hans : *pulls out uno reverse card*

This guy constantly lives in x2 speed mode

You motivated me to play chess again after a lot of years without playing it, you're amazing, keep it up, Hans

You skipped ahead right when he was about to say something about your opening. He said that's a good move for Hans. He realized that you may have been offended so he proceeded to explain how if you were watching that he meant no disrespect. I believe he saw your video where you said you liked him so he wants to show his support.

I feel like Hans and Levy quite like and respect each other tbh. Levy defends Hans much more than any of the other major content creators and is pretty open about rooting for him and loving his exciting play style, Hans may roast Levy but seems to kinda like and respect him as a content creator and a chess player whereas even someone like Hikaru who works much more closely with Levy is much more dismissive of him as a content creator let alone a player, and they both acknowledge how hard the other works constantly to achieve their success in their respective fields. I think they both actually wish the best for each other and its kinda wholesome. I hope Hans' encouragement from the earlier video does eventually get Levy to go become a GM

As a fan of both Hans and Levy, and even knowing that the idea may not be to Hans's liking, I would really like to see a collaboration between the two of them.

Hi Hans, I'm a Superspeed' s follower, an Italian youtuber that is very attentive to the chess world. He has been doing so many videos about you, contributing hugely to build up your popularity among Italians chess lovers. This guy is an exceptional chess player and would be great to see a match of you versus him. Think about that. Good luck for your career.

Hans never fails to put Levy in his videos

Nice to see you having a respectful relationship with Levy! Keep it up:)

Can/t wait for GothamChess reacting to Hans Niemann reacting to GothamChess.

Superspeed is the Italian guy who is often analysing your games.. He is quite good at chess, you should grant him a live online match on his channel! That would be awesome

I think many recognize your extraordinary performance in chess and many of us who follow you really like to see the analysis of your games. It is a good idea that you are the spokesperson for your own career and the rest will follow.

Just be the Hans Nieman of chess. That's plenty. You don't have to anybody's "bad boy."

We love you hans! keep pushing forward

We all need a comeback in our life like you....actually you're my inspiration. ...all the best for the future..

Good to see that you are focusing more on training and rest. It is a great experience push the limits and participate in many tournaments, but not for too long. Hoping to see you succeed, Hans

Hans and Fischer are the kind of players I want for the Chess World

Looks like a great plan Hans. Keep positive, the best is yet to come 🥊

Loving this content, Levy is the Goat at narrating chess, I always say he’s the Mike Breen of Chess . He makes it so much more fun to watch, so happy you are acknowledging him. Also loving the come up huge fan of yours

Fischer and Hans are the soul of chess!

True inspiration Hans!

WE NEED THE GOTHAM HANS COLAB PLZZZZ MAKE IT HAPPEN

Your chess style is greatly appreciated. Attacking chess, keep it up Hans.

Great quote of the day, thanks for sharing Hans!

Levy explains chess games like actions scenes from a comic book

the treatment of this respectable and pure inspirational player GM Hans Niemann is absolutely outrageous. Justice for GM Hans!

Hans Moke Niemann's energy feels really good today

"don't worry about them but look and pass" this is a phrase from Dante, famous Italian poet who wrote the divine comedy.

I enjoy watching you and Gotham. Always insightful and entertaining. I think Gotham puts you in a positive light. You were in time trouble in that second game. Anyone who has ever played chess knows you don't make your best moves when in a scramble. Go Hans!

I watched Levy's vid, and was wondering where the controversy was, but like a sportscaster, he makes Chess feel like a fun futbol match. It's not bad. Agadmator is straight, no drama chess game reviews, and that is a great channel that everyone benefits from. Great that you mentioned it. Keep playing that Fischer style chess!

I love Hans's strategy

You are a very interesting player and you never fail to provide more interesting games. Keep it up Hans.

I absolutely love seeing you chasing your dreams against all odds and many mean people targeting you

Embrace being the bad boy of chess Hans at this point it seems it will never go away better to be known for something then to be forgotten.

Hang tough Hans. Love your comeback. Don't let the B's grind you down.

Great idea... Spend more time. Reacting to the whole analysis with your actual thoughts during the game will be gold 🙂

Guys believe it or not but hans is going to be a classical world chess champion in upcoming 15 years

Finally your main channel catches the algo wave. I've seen so many videos clipping you until I got your original channel organically suggested.

Stay positive bro and keep the content coming! :)

That’s why Levi rules this space, he is the totally authentic every man chess guy with a popular style that can’t be emulated. All the best to Hans on his chess journey and who knows how far he will go!

I love watching Gotham chess. He’s a cool guy and he brightens up my day a little

"In chess we need ferocity." Well said! We truly need more flames across the boards and more attacking vs attacking chess! I'm rooting for ya ^-^ /srs

Glad you made this, your camera is focused on the chair so your face is a little blurry. You can fix it by focusing it after you sit down or zooming in on your eyes to make sure you're in focus.

This series is really about daily Bobby Fischer quotes. Don’t let Hans fool u guys

"Bad boy Niemann" keep going brooo

I think it's really cool that you keep improving to be a better version of yourself. Let the haters hate, you don't need to waste your energy. It's great to have such an enigmatic figure in chess which is also able to think about mistakes in the past. No one's perfect - I like your positive evolution!

The world of chess needs you way more than they realize.

Your best video so far. You are finding your voice on You Tube. Keep staying true to yourself and your channel will grow exponentially 🚀

Hans Niemann, the James Dean of Chess

What I find very inspiring about you is how human you are. It is human to be angry at a loss, it is human to be passionate about things. In a society which promotes non-competitive, passive-aggressive mode of being, it is always heart warming to see a player who humanizes the game, shows that he takes it seriously, shows his love for the game and shows that he is hurt when he loses. Just makes one feel human. Passionate. Happy. I wish you the very best Hans. I do hope you become the world champion one day. Jai Shri Krishna and cheers.

we love you Hans, go and show the world! (future GM)

i just love this guy , he is creating his own side story , his own hustling story !! without any support , just fighting against all tourney organisers for not inviting him , if for a second think he did not cheat vs magnus , then isn't everything with hans is happening wrong

I like viewing you games Hans, they are great to see.

Welcome to the channel future grandmasters

Someone should make a Hans tournament where people feel honored to be there

Levy's cool he makes it fun more than any one else❤😊

death by analysis. there is this one guy that defies analysis. you know his name.

Love you HANS!

You sadly missed the most important part of Levi’s video or rather you didn’t cover that one missed knight move of yours. Would have loved to see what went through your head, what you calculated etc

In his dreams Levy can play chess at this level AND make it worthwhile watching. Keep gunning Hans, any organiser that doesn’t want a such a gifted and creatively aggressive young player is running a glorified gentlemen’s club, not a tournament. 😂

keep growing your channel bro you will be on top again soon

It would be interesting to have some sort of metric that showed how creative/exciting a chess player is. I reckon Hans would be near the top in this metric.

Love u buddy, embrace the persona!

Somehow Gotham's analysis came across as so much more expert when played at this speed.

If Hans is the bad boy of chess, there aren't any good boys.

Chess content has become popular, but recognise that it's about the game of chess. And, admitting to a mistake is a good sign that the way of the mistake is now a thing of the past. So that's good. What you also must do is accept the cards on the table and build with what remains. There's still a world of opportunities (including non-chess ones), and doors that are closed today may reopen after seeing that you have done well with cards you have since played.

I'm looking forward to it!

Hans to the chess community, you are the cherry on a cake. Really I enjoying watching videos about you. First I was against you, but opinions change obviously. Creating from Spain

You're absolutely right. If they care about whether people are watching or not, they should invite you. No matter whether people root for you or the oponents, everyone wants to see what will happen on the board at the end of the day. There is a good number of rising players with large following, it makes no sense to cater only to the whims of a few, as if the rest are not going to show to battle it out. We have an unprecedented number of players who really want the top spots and have real chances of getting there. The organizers shouldn't underestimate the generational change that is underway.

yes, there were mistakes in the past... but hans is clearely a REALLY strong chess player now, and its very nice to have someone who brings so much atention and awesome games playing top level tournaments.. Congrats Hans, i am pretty sure u are clean and wont cheat anymore!! Keep up the very good work, future world chess champion :) Brazil is rooting for you

All the future grandmasters can apply on your behalf. Go for public applications and let the force be with you!

speeding up gotham is such a good meme

You're assuming they've not already weighed up the pros and cons of inviting you for themselves. They clearly have and decided its better that they don't.

This is fire content

oh, you finally fix it at 6:23 lol

Good luck Hans!

Go Hans....defeat the two DIVAS of Chess , Magnus n Naka 😅😂😅😂

"there's nothing as healing as the human touch... unless you're a jew, in which case nothing can heal you" - Bobby Fischer

Levy's video speaks for itself.

Good shit Hans👏👏

Imagine an IM talking that way about a world chess champion

yup you might want to change that to the bad boy of chess

I basically only watch Hans and Praggs games, and I’m sure there should be people who exclusively watch your games

if you somehow managed to get almost any form of psychological treatment and reduced your arrogance by any amount there is a possibility in the future you might be able to hob nob with professionals and be invited to play chess with them in professional settings.

Wish you luck GM Hans

Hi Hans, can you play at chess against superspeed (italian chess)?

Great content Hans🔥♟️

The way Levy pronounces Bilel's name makes me want to die

People think Hans is arrogant, that's why the chess fans are so polarized on Neimann. There are people who despise what they see as an arrogant attitude, and there are people who don't even see it at all.

Keep it up Hans! I love watching your games. You are one of the more exciting players out there! ps I dropped my KZfaq subscription to SLCC ... They don't care but its just another way to say "Their loss." ;)

Hans can you please do a top ten abba song video? I remember you listening to bright eyes and Pinkerton back in the day and would genuinely love to see you talk music. Gothamchess fans are utilized as a weapon to avenge anyone who might give his napoleon complex a flare up

"Jeg er sjakks arrogante bad boy, brettspillets mest relevante bad boy!" - Magnus Carlsen, Hvem Stjal Spenolen?

Wait. Why are you blocking the board?

☢ 3:02 Actually... Do it Hans! Give them what they so badly crave. They should be careful what they wish for. It is time Hans, time to make it official. From the point of your choosing you will be known as *_The Bad Boy of Chess_* or *_The Bad Moke of Chess_* either one have a nice ominous ring to them. They created this monster, now they will have to face it. Cant wait to see the Bad Moke on the World Champion throne! 👑

hans ur the man

How many classical chess games would it take for Levi to beat you once? Would love to find out

I didn’t know there is a lot of people love you hans

keep it going Hans...you are really inspiring regardless of all negative vibs you received. (sometimes is your fault) but it is ok...we all humans!!! thanks
