I LOVE YOU DANYA (NO HOMO)

Hikaru is overestimating the average chess player. If it's a check and I don't lose immediately the piece, there is a 99% chance I'll do the move 💀

Naroditsky with the most educational troll ever recorded

"I can Basically Resign after Bishop B4" "Plays Bishop B4" *HAH , NOW U RESIGN*

Hikaru with the completely genuine and not at all exaggerated laugh

Stream snipers getting tricked is probably one of the most satisfying moments ever for streamers when they are playing chess especially that Qc4 Daneil Naroditsky

I just think it's fascinating that we live in a time where this is a thing. Not only are we able to play a game of chess with anyone in the world, but the world itself can be watching, and you can communicate your thoughts to the world, so even your opponent can essentially hear your thoughts, just to be tricked by you assuming he hears your thoughts, and everyone just watches this unfold for entertainment. Magical!

I love that last one from Jerry so much because not only does he say it is a strong move but he gives a reasonable sounding explanation for someone who is not going to look deeper into it plus he acts it all out as if it was a mistake believably enough that they sniper fell for it. It is my favorite stream sniper tactic moment righty now.

The first stream snipe swindle I ever saw was of Jerry from ChessNetwork. It never gets old! Thanks R2D2 for putting this together.

IN BETWEEEEENEEERRRRRRR

I don't know whether the guy was stream sniping or not, but in the second clip Qc4 is a totally understandable move for a 600 player to make. Like Hikaru said, it's a move that simultaneously puts your opponent in check while also not sacrificing any obvious pieces. That's basically 2/2 for what 600 players are looking for in a move

Queen check by lower rated player is normal. He could not know if it was good or bad move, he just played it. And he did not play it when it was suggested, but two moves later. I don't see anything suspicious. I don't understand Hikaru here

One of the only games stream sniping works out for the streamer.

"Well, if he moves bishop there, I'm gonna have to call the ambulance" "....but not for me!"

I think the hikaru's guy is just like "I see a check, I give a check" rather than stream sniping

Knew something from Chess Network would be here. Jerry has tricked so many stream snipers over the years lol

"Congratulations, you played yourself" moments against stream snipers, very satisfying.

the one with jerry is a classic

“Sike! That’s the wrong number” energy

the other players, who just made genuine errors and have no idea theyre being laughed at: 💀

chess network's cheer was so wholesome somehow💀

To be fair I DEFINITELY would have played that last move thinking the rook falls as well 😂

Jerry is priceless. That clip never fails to disappoint. Best chess youtuber out there.

This is an amazing move “opponent plays it” Ok so what is so good about this is that I win

I don’t think hikaru was getting sniped. That’s a move someone at that level would 100% make.

I don't have to stream snipe. I find bad moves on my own

Did anyone else see the "sniper no sniping" comment on the last one?? DORA THE EXPLORER REFERENCEEEE im too old for this crap

Stream sniping in chess seems like the least advantageous game you could stream snipe in

i feel very stupid after watching these types of videos. I didn't understand why qc4+ was a bad move at all. Then i analyzed it and it was just missing mate in 9 lol. Its literally the second best black move and evalation is -10.2. That is a very good move for my level .

I never seen something like this before, it was actually interesting. Though I feel like it would be hard to play as you normally would for both parties if you going to do something like this.

I love that a solid 30 seconds of this video is Jerry giggling to himself 😂

2:09 I’m proud of my self for seeing the tactic before he explained it. He made up a bunch of nonsense saying he’s losing a rook when in reality he wins a rook if black attacks with his bishop and takes the pawn in retaliation.

Interesting how 2/3 of the stream snipe snipes were queen c4

lol the transition between naroditsky actually baiting a sniper and hikaru pretending a 600 rated player will only check his opponent for no gain if he's watching his stream

This is so well compiled!!!

hikaru really thought he's getting stream sniped. lmfao that's 600 rating, he'd play check movez when he see one

Part 2 pls. This was gold!

Me trying to learn chess from hikaru while he is trying to catch stream snipers:

Qc4 probably wasn’t a stream snipe, he probably thought hehe checks go brrrrrrr

The "out of no where" made me laugh.

feels good man

This is medicine for the soul. Just beautiful.

I feel like second clip is a dice toss. Qc4 is a natural move for a 600 rated player. It's hard to see what exactly you should do, so just getting a check seems like the correct option to a 600 rated player. Clips 1 and 3 were for sure stream snipers.

No that last one… I honestly think I would’ve played that bishop move. I’m not good at spotting counter “in between” moves.

i'm not very good at chess, so i'd probably give a 50/50 that a couple of those moves are something i'd unironically make on my own thinking i was getting an advantage

I love chessnetwork’s voice. It’s so nice to listen to

LMFAOAOAOAOAO DANYA’S SO GOOD AT THIS

Not sure about the last one, could easily be an honest blunder.

“Oh no, my queen.” -Eric Rosen

LOL I play online since 2014 and I never knew about stream snipping and its counter defense. But this video was fun

Qc4 was not the worst blunder that could Happen considering the time diffrence i realy dont know if that guy was a stream snipper

With the Hikaru one, what's the continuation that makes QC4 such a bad move? I'm having difficulty seeing it. Edit: I plugged it into Stockfish and it's a bad move, but white still has a massive advantage. Plus, xQc moved his king the wrong way

It is resignable..... but not for me!

1:45 I think it's a natural move most low elo players will do

2:32 lol i like how bishop b4 is easily escapable… u just take the bishop, he retakes with the pawn, then u give a check with ur queen to e3 or something, he defends the king first, then u get a free rook

Imagine being one of those guys who played awful moves and they think you were streamsniping lol

shouldve added levy checkmating a screen sniper with his queen

There was a great trick in one of levy's king's indian climbs

GOTTEM!

There was high probability any one would check king in tough spot.... And he said that move ages ago, by the time opponents played it board was heavily changed

S n e a k y S n e a k y S n e a k y !

Eric Rosen have some nice examples of the phenomenon. I clicked to rewatch them, but they were not included.

hikaru saying that a garbage move from a 600 rating = stream sniping and not just because he sees check and gets neuron activation

Chessnetwork laughing makes me smile everytime

3:04 I looped that part

1:46 queen c4 is engine's second best move, after Rook f8 check

2:10 almost Eric Rosen level acting, that

Bozo really hit the rematch button just cuz he got owned 💀 3:13

I love how streamers have to make up reasons to sugest garbage move.

I was not expecting one from Jerry. Hahaha

I remember watching the Danya stream sniping clip recently live😂

If he checked him he could probably have stole the other rook too

You’d expect them to learn over time 💀💀💀

Your biggest enemy, is yourself. According to stream snipers anyway 😂

You activated my trap card! Except we're playing chess. Card says "stop cheating."

Ahh yes the "snipers gambit"

OH NO MY QUEEN, at least I have the checkmate after takes.

Imagine being so clueless that have to stream snipe a BOARD GAME its litterally in front of you, exerything is there.

Hikaru really thinks the world revolves around him.

2:19 Bb4 is a blunder because even without the in between check White gets too much material for the queen

2:33 I can’t believe Mo Syszlak would fall for this once again

I didn’t see the title, just the thumbnail and by the second clip I thought it was about how you should never put a Queen on c4

ngl, when i was in grade school & competing chess, my coach told me that if i intentionally sac a piece, especially a queen, i should act like i made a blunder so my opponent won't even think twice abt taking. acting def is a tactic & i'd recommend doing this in low elo tourneys.

Hikaru’s was great because it lead to a positional advantage instead of potentially seeable material.

That guy wasn’t even stream sniping Hikaru wth

"Oh no my Rook" next level ^^

To be fair to the guy in Hikaru's video, Qc4 may be a garbage move, but garbage moves are what 600s play. Then you must also consider it is a check, and one-move checks are also things 600s like to do.

I think it normal move for 600 elo player Bro got blame so hard💀

Clicked on this for a meme but I actually learnt something from danya’s clip lol

How did Gotham didn't make the cut!

The greatest chess move of all: just fuckin lie to people

“C4, yeah C4 is good. Oh god, C4 is just completely winning. If he takes C4 im done. Oh man C4 is a dangerous move.”

Sniper, no sniping!

Dirtbag Jerry lmao

I’m absolutely trash level in chess and even I saw the zwischenzug 😂

"3 clips of stream sniper trolling" is a more accurate title

CHESSNETWORK UNDERATED ASF

i am almost certain that the guy at 2:00 wasnt stream sniping, he's just a 600 who sees a check, nothing more nothing less

It's crazy that players a little higher rated than me fell for it when I saw the tactic.

They be playing 4D chess
