21:20 ah yes, the classic mate in 49. of course everyone can see it, obviously

Levy is waiting for - "You're a GM, Harry"

Levy is actually like us while watching Hikaru. Levy: “That was a terrible move whats he doing.” Hikaru: “That was an amazing move.” Levy: 😦

26:25 *Casually calls 2200 rated players “amateurs” and “beginners”*

Not sure if this'll be read by either Hikaru or Gotham, but idea for this format: Do the matches from the middle out ratingwise, so it gets progressively worse and better every other game. Last two games'll be the best and the worst, which is a nice finale

The chat should vote for moves. The most voted move within a few seconds will then be played. That would be dope

Hikaru with xqc: *xqc hangs his queen* Hikaru: ok, that’s probably not the best move but its still fine Hikaru with the sub battle: Come on, what was that... ohhh take the pawn take the pawn... Oh geez it s so bad.. 😂😂

2:11 Match#1 ~2400 highlight 9:14 to 9:43 11:55 Match#2 ~2300 highlight 14:55 24:48 Match#3 ~2100 34:04 Match#4 ~2000 45:48 Match#5 ~1900 highlight 49:23 & 49:52 good moves by black 54:14 Match#5 ~1800 highlight 1:00:11 blunder NE6, 1:01:05, 1:01:52 to end 1:06:07 Match#5 ~1550 highlight 1:08:30 when sniping goes wrong, 1:10:37 good move 1:12:18 Match#6 ~1600 highlight 1:15:13, 1:18:32 good move, 1:19:39 blunder 1:22:22 Match#7 ~1450 highlight 1:23:09, 1:27:05 blunder, 1:27:20 blunder 1:31:31 Match#8 ~1250 highlight 1:35:05, 1:36:22 to end starting by a great move to reverse the game 1:37:50 Match#9 ~1075 highlight 1:40:20 good successful series of attacks, 1:44:50 blunder 1:50:30 Match#10 ~900 highlight 1:53:10 blunder 1:57:48 Match#11 2600 vs 700 ROFL

1:08:34 Did Hikaru bait white into stream-sniping a blunder?

So crazy that this was 9 months ago and he (Levy) was at 3k subs. Now he's over 425k subs on twitch! He really just blew up, and the chess community in general. So cool

"How do I say something that doesn't sound like a flex." These are the problems I wish I had

Stockfish and Gotham’s 2nd totally serious Sub Battle

"I don't always think you're the greatest chess player of all time Levy but you are.. you are better than some of these guys" 14:12 Levy just cant catch a break... FART OF IM Sadge

59:26 Damn... my heart sank and I’m not even the guy he was talking about. That would absolutely obliterate my spirit. I would probably never forget it and it would play in my head over and over.

1:05:41 "I love eating food"' lmao

"Let the chess speak for itself" - Hikaru, 1:33:51

I literally just watched part one and got blessed with this

This is a great series. Good idea

56:00 you have to learn the rules, to break them. i would say as a coach

1:13:40 i feel bad. i once was an unranked guy that used to just play with my grandpa and dad and studied a lot, entered an under 1600 bracket, and had one of the best outings possible. i didnt know where to put my rating at. now i feel like im some kind of monster

These sub games are so funny to watch, please do more of them

Every single breathing soul in Hikaru's Chat when he says someone blundered: *Flex*

The thumbnail.... wtf

THE BEGINNING IS SO FUNNY GOTHAMCHESS' REACTIONS HAHAHAHA

9:25-9:28 Hikaru and Levy’s reactions are gold hahaha.

been in and out trying to learn chess this last year. these videos are the sht

I've been waiting for this

"Queen odds and what else?" what a chad XD

Love these battles. Levy is great!

Damn... I may be really drunk rn but when Hikaru talked about Magnus it really felt like it came straight from the heart.

This is ELITE CONTENT

19:02 "pyramid of Jeza" lmaoooooooo

Speaking of going to mars, idk if it's all this chess thought making me think about all aspects of things, but I realized that the biggest problem with moving people to mars, aside from the obvious bits like getting people there and surviving there, is deciding what the governing rule system will be used. Everyone knows that there things can be better than they are, but there is no easy way to fix systems that are so heavily engrained into societies. However, moving people to another planet opens the possibility for a different set of governing rules.

"Kramlic would say ziss iz winneng" Smirk from hikaru, wonder if this has been building for a while

7:20 on lichess the engine is aware of the time remaining. This behaviour was introduced a while ago.

For me Hikaru x GothamChess is best crossover. It's so fun to watch the interaction of these two.

Hikaru: "You know, Levy, I don't think you're not the greatest chess player of all time, but I think you're better than some of these guys." *Gestures to the chat* Levy: "..."

I love watching the low level games watching the eval bar move against the player that just moved

I’ll watch this every week, hikaru please make this a reoccurring stream.

1:15 had me in absolute hysterical the look on both of their faces simple says it all

"I went to this super expensive restaurant but didn't pay" Hikaru over here getting the woman's perspective on dining out. Cause most guys have never experienced that.

What a flex; he can't be in regular conversation without flexing

55:45 Hikaru looks up to remember the event exactly *Levy looks up to see what Hikaru is looking at*

I’ve watched countless hours of instructional videos, and this is the first I’ve ever heard about not blocking your C pawn with your knight.

More of these please

More! These are so entertaining

Hahah I love the intro levy just having fun and hikaru: “TAKE THE PAWN!! …. Good now win the game” lol he secretly loves it that’s how he shows it

that "totally" totally convinced me it was serious

1:54:39 In the Blitzstream vs Chessbrah sub battle they had MVL vs Firouzja as top boards ^^

Hikaru: I've forgotten my wallet, can you get the check mate?

Lol I imaging that if Hikaru was speaking in front of all his watchers live he would put the teleprompter on the ceiling

"I hate the dutch." that was hardcore xD

1:30:25 "I think people... people partake in the devil's lettuce a little bit before they join the stream so they create these beutiful situations in their heads"

36:19 thats an ambulance siren man, what new yorker cant tell the difference lmao

I didn't need to see that thumbnail...

Stew is cooked slowly, Naka! This is the reasoning for the "BeefStewer"!

Just the right amount of sarcasm from both of you, it was really funny

It's amazing how I'm watching this video uploaded 2 years ago and hearing levy said "I just crossed 3000 subs". Imagine how far he got after 2years. This lockdown made us realize alot of things, alot of oppurtunities, and alot of growth.

9:17 when you're congratulating you kid at graduations and they proceed to shoot up the school.

My all time favorite thing is watching very smart people who are professionals at a hobby or sport talk about something they know nothing about. IM and GM chess wizards talking about golf asking what the driving range is called, peak fun.

43:58 What a “king”, Levy with the unintended pun.

Hikaru: “Ohhh now that is a classy move” Me (a 500): “hmmm, yes I do concur”

"Imagine if you play Grekko at the bar or the library" Agadmator: *hello everyone*

Its so funny seeing their reactions and being able to match every single one to the 5 chess symbol comments like blunder, mistake, nothing, ok, and best haha

1:01:59 is the greatest moment of all time

Other games this kind of content sucks but it's so perfect for chess, loving the chess sub wars

Had this running in the background and tabbed into it when levy asked "what is the opposite of the flex-emoji?" to check if chat spammed sadge and what can i say? I'm not disappointed.

This so should be a league. Grandmasters with there subs playing leagues or something similar.

Pls make more of this

Gotham’s ppl lose when Gotham says that cuz they hear and lose confidence in themselves

love hikarus mood here. awesome

just a simple question how to come in to the sub games?

16:38 glad we're going to find out soon

Mom:are going to study Me: last video

theres so much tension between these guys

“There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch” -Nigel Powers 2002

Can we mention how bad an Levy’s “beef stewer” explanation Homies ripping ass in face not stewing opponents

"Just win the game" lol

7:22 Oh like Starcraft 2 AIs that trash talk opponents by stating the probability of them losing

can confirm about the devils lettuce part

these are so fun to watch

As a person who played the Scandinavian for some reason, I played Qd8 and still won the game.

they should have done polls for movies in each chat see whos chat is better

Bloody hell when i hear clown fiesta i always think about lol where tf happens and u have no idea what is happening

Levi opening the video with his Joker audition

Hey @Hikaru Nakamura. How can someone join the tournament, if there is one

watching culum rc6 at x0.25 is epic lmaoo

Is nakamura wearing a red sweater with no sleeve like in fhe 70's

19:33 he's not rude, he's just brutally honest

0:00 when you're paranoid about ramen poisoners

Bro hikaru dying to bad chess for normal people looks like it really hurts him That was a real scream

Editor, can you add time stamps in the video to know when a match starts?

game ends levy: wow... what a game :O hikaru: thats one way of putting it :/ it's as if he feels physical pain from watching bad chess

Their faces at 1:02:02 is actually hilarious

Pls more of that

Hikaru: culum is the greatest player of all time culum: "blunders a peice"

Gotham's Laugh at the beginning. XD

SO kids this is why you don't drink alcohol 0:06

I once had a game where i was +74 and i still carried it to an endgame

I love the PogO farming in the chat. The flexing meme is really fitting for Hikaru
