A throbbing victory.

Hunger games actor, homeless John wick and now grandmaster. Jesus christ.

"Professionals are predictable, it's the amateurs that are dangerous."

At this point, Daniel Naroditsky is a religion to Charlie.

Didn't expect an Hunger Games actor to be so smart.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Charlie can walk on water.

Dainel Naroditsky: WILL YOU LISTEN I AM NOT THE MESSIAH Charlie: HE IS THE MESSIAH

Imagine searching up “chess tournament”, seeing this and thinking he’s a really good chess player and then looking at his other videos.

My man won a chess tournament with “tank cooks frozen pizza” in his open tabs

Just like the slapping contests, this all started out as a joke and blossomed into something beautiful.

“You will play the winner between Ludwig and xqc tomorrow” “Alright, can’t wait to play you Ludwig”

No one: Charlie in a professional interview: I was considering buying crack under a bridge at that point

Charlie's accomplishments: -Hunger Games star -Chess champion

I can’t believe this all started as a drama in the chess streaming community

This entire thing sounds like an anime “oh my god, he’s not using hikarus teachings!” Lmao

Charlie is such a cool dude, he wanted to win the tournament purely for the bragging rights and wanted to put all of the money straight back to the community with more gaming tournaments. Lots of respect for this guy.

Daniel: I've seen 14 million timelines Charlie: In how many do I win? Daniel: oh, all of them. Have you seen Ludwig?

Charlie’s milestones so far: - John Wick stunt double - Fleshlight enthusiast - hunger games movies star - Chess tournament champion truly a man of talents

People who offer draws right before they get mated are the mic spammers of chess

"He didn't see it that's so lucky" The only reason I win chess games

“I was contemplating buying crack under a bridge” I’m dead

Daniel: I’m 4 parallel universes ahead of you.

He's the newest Chess Grandmoister.

charlie tha god

Pretty sure Charlie now has the world record speedrun of becoming a Chess Grandmaster

This earth shattering victory was expected, clearly no being in this “tournament” was fit enough to pose a threat to the 5’6 moist man.

Imagine someone finding him through the chess streams and then watch Charlie making world records for holding fleshlights.

I'm genuinely concerned about how 'talented' Charlie is. Like he can actually practice and yield mad results. Like man he's basically doing this for shits and giggles and he's genuinely clobbering at Chess thanks to his big practice sessions. Like man damn.

Charlie is like an anime protagonist. He has a whole training arc with his mentor before wining the tournament arc

i’m unironically hyped to see charlie’s progress he’s actually getting good

This is the most anime sh!t of all time "he's not using Hikaru's teachings" lol

The one youtuber who hasn't gone to shit over time

10:10 Charlie : "WOW HE DID THE EN PASSANT" me who never played chess and has no idea what's going on : "ah yes the croissant, such a refined move"

Dude you’re getting pretty nasty at chess. All those hours are paying off.

_" Nandatto!? He isn't using Hikaru's teachings, which means I can go in for a tide-changing blow..! "_ *_"EN PASSANTUU!!!!!!"_*

If chess is so good, then why isn't there chess 2

When a man who got world records with flesh lights beats everyone at chess

If Charlie keeps developing his chess skill at this rate, he’ll be Grandmaster by December.

8:20 Charlie has balls of steel for hearing out his angry opponent. Sportsmanship is one of the greatest forms of kindness, spot on bro!

10:10 “Like Scoob! I totally forgot about en passant!”

Fun fact: this chess prodigy is also the well-known actor from hunger games.

What kind of anime timeline is this? Charlie faces off against someone who is quoted to be similar to him, plus the final person he faces off against is a friend he "trained" with. This is a living television show.

No one: Anime protagonists 3 seconds after a training arc:

Hikaru: you’ll face the winner between Ludwig and xqc in the finals. Charlie: lookin forward to it, I’ll see you soon Ludwig in the finals. Charlie just immediately writes off xqc as the possible winner.

Charlie in a completely winning position: I don't know if I can win this, I'm tempted to accept the draw offer.

I don’t think we realize just how successful Charlie is

"Abella danger relax mate" "Hey Johnny sins I'm just saying..." How do you think so fast 😂😂

Imagine wining a chess tournament with a pepe the frog profile picture.

Charlie, the man of legend: ~Was in an award winning movie. ~Almost won a Golf Kart race. ~Four sex toys world record holder. ~Porn script writer. ~A master critic. ~International chess tournament winner.

Not only was he the star of the hit movie "The Hunger Games" and a fleshlight connoisseur, he's also a pog champ at chess. This is a Johnny Sins 2.0 in the making

Charlie is basically every anime character that masters everything they get into

5:17 this sounds like something right out of anime lmfao

Charlie needs his own rank, he’s higher than Grand Master he should be Chess Jesus or something

I'm amazed on how Charlie still manages to end the video with "see ya"

He broke the algorithm. He’s currently trending and yt probably thinks he actually won some sort of chess tournament

for those who dont know, an "En Passant" is an extremely situational move that only results in a pawn taking a pawn, so its often forgotten. Read more for technicalities when an ally pawn moves up 2 squares (which can only be done the first time that pawn is moved) through a square that an enemy pawn can attack, then the enemy pawn can take the ally pawn that just moved as if the ally pawn had only moved up 1 square. The enemy also can only do this on his turn immediately after the ally pawn moves.

Charlie is literally a god at chess, but that means Daniel, the Sensei, is an even higher divine being

Why is it a surprise to the non-believers that homeless man John Wick conquered the chess tournament. Hes mastered the skill of fleshlights, immune to Onions, and he's an aspiring musician.

Man, The Queen's Gambit sequel looks great.

I feel like a lot of the comments don’t realize this was the consolation bracket. Nonetheless still impressive

Homeless Jesus won a chess tournament, I’m impressed.

The way he’s talking like other grandmasters after a couple weeks of hard practice is truly remarkable.

Daniel filled the void in Charlie's life that Joseph filled 2000 years ago.

Critical is basically that one badass character in an anime who wins without trying.

Charlie when confronted with quarantine decided to become some kind of ultraenlightened greek philosopher king playing chess tourneys and shit

the first bit of editing I've seen from charlie: a fade

“Grandmaster dattebayo” - Charlie Uzumaki

"so you'll play the winner out of Ludwig and xqc" "Oh cool looking forward to versing Ludwig" 😂😂😂

The moist grandmaster makes his appointment

charlie is very smooth with his words. must be fun for anyone who interviewing him

I just watched a youtuber that i don't normally watch playing a game i dont even know how to play for almost 15 minutes

9:06 "You will play the winner of xQc and Ludwig tomorrow. Do you have any final thoughts on that before we send you both on your way?" Charlie: I'll see you soon Ludwig in the finals

chess was not the direction i thought you would be going for after all these years, but goddamn am i here for it 10/10

10:10 he turns into shaggy everytime he says “En Passant”

i loved this tournament and started watching you and some others from ludwig when he entered. i have to say- the improvement you showed was truly remarkable. i’m so proud of you for winning and was low key rooting for you. all the videos of daniel and you were really entertaining. good job with the win ;)

“Victory is decided before the battle is fought.” Sun Tzu, Art of War.

Still a better story than Last of Us 2

I love how happy chess makes Charlie its a game that brings him legit happiness when winning its awesome to see him like this

As a fellow 5'6 person myself you bring me great inspiration in pursuing whatever I want and be the best at it.

Next tournament will have a boss fight: Todd Howard The Chess Master

Did anyone else not realize how smart he is

9:57 I have never seen a man so hyped for a "en passant"

Just hearing the banter between you and your opponents post-match is so fun I have the biggest smile on my face when you're trading comments and praise. Good stuff!

Literally never seen this man more excited about anything more than this chess tournament which is filled with irony and is hilarious to me. 😂

Charlie commentating over the game made everything 10x better

I can’t believe Dave Grohl actually won the greatest chess tournament of All Time.

Not pictured: Charlie's wildly embarrassing second-to-last-place finish in the checkers tournament.

This was epic. Also contained a beautiful takeaway lesson, you put in the work and saw massive improvement. Congrats to you sir

Critical, I've watched you since the old days and I'm so proud you've blossomed into a formatable chess player and notable online presence!!

I’m really starting to believe Charlie can do anything if he puts his mind to it

So amazing to see this wholesome moment, he's so happy.

What an EPIC WIN! Congrats Charlie! I'm new to your channel & I'm loving your content! Please consider having your own radio talk show! You'd be so awesome & with the following you have your success would be just as EPIC! Love & respect from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦

Now he can add a new title to accompany his many others, “Chess Champion”

Time for a story: In my younger days, high school. I saw a film by the name “The Other Guys”. In this film, one gentlemen expresses skill at ballet. Turns out the character had learned ballet, in order to make fun of boys who practiced ballet. Since seeing this movie I have often pondered, would someone actually go that far for a joke? If so how far is too far? Charlie’s win is my answer, and I think has set the new bar on how far

its brings my heart joy to see you get so good

9:21 that pawn was just too much Jesus Christ

“ENNNN PASSSANT! I totally forgot about en passant. Hans taught him that huh?” Lol that was classic

Charlie's training arc reaĺly paid off

Opponent: Fucks up pawn structure Charlie: Just as I predicted

I love how respectful Ludwig and moist were at the end of the game.
