​@@FlashyfinancierIs this a joke or where can I eat that

For context, there is one woman with a higher rating.

@@calvinjonesyoutube who?

@@Flashyfinancier Ask FIDE...the top rated female player. About 20 points higher.

hahaha welcome to my country Nemo

She disabled the boss music, she didn't hear it coming

@ceje69 lol 😂

I think she was well aware that something was up, if not exactly what.

If your high enough in chess or have enough experience, you can tell right away what a persons level is, that normal people would completely miss out on. She’s good enough to know something was up and who she was playing against immediately.

I think that actually, he had to use a lot of intense psychic energy just in order to admit he doesn't posse's the national title. There was no way out, and his quick logical mind recognized that, and submitted in order to avoid any unnecessary image losses. I think it was carefully calculated - but quickly.

Dude is actually amazing

@@Szymon_So did someone manipulate you? if you need help im here for you

@@perthlocalguide2092 No, thank you. I'll condescendingly question that Sage’s counsels.

Timestamp?

also he added the game was "close" when he is practically owned it twice.

Of course . He doesnt have a choice if he pick the other one the he will get bashed by people.

Because rating honestly doesn’t mean anything against some street level players.

And that 0.01% are players like Hikaru, Magnus, Fabiano, 💀

@@valiantwarrior1988 they are obviously at the top of the chess world so they are beating 100% of chess players 😂 They even beat themselves against their bots

i can easily beat him with my phone.

@@valiantwarrior1988 anal beads

That comment gave me heartburn 😂

She straight up insulted him. I'm my mind all I heard was the Mortal Kombat saying , "FINISH HER!"

akaNemsko is also 23 y.o, maybe from her experience in home country, someone told her she is not young anymore and she projected it to him

*It is because when you look at some of the top players in Chess when they became grandmasters, they were still teenagers. Chess is one such sport where a lot of the prodigies become grandmaster when they are very young, like between the age of 10 to 16. So, 23 is not young when it comes to the sport of chess.*

and she said is that a free pawn? and later on in the vid he said the exact same thing to her

And Mamedyarov was the winner of 2018 Biel Chess Festival where he beat reigning World Champion Magnus Carlsen.

Humility ? She totally backed handed him by calling him "23 ? That is still called young at Singapore" She was doing this jabbing at him the whole game. She's damn bitchy.

Not by the girl she wasn’t respectful enough to the grand wizard

@@larryhoover4142

South east asia people, well majority, always humble n chill by nature.

Learn what? To be a normal human?

@@ThexSleepingDragon I think the point is that he doesn't let his talent make him a cocky person the way some people are

That's why they are Grandmasters.

Technically he cheated because he knows all the board positions he might face, but that's chess.

@@rmac3217 Knowing board positions doesn't make you a cheater. It makes you aware. By your logic, all GMs and IMs are cheaters.

@KK-rw0sj Welcome to the high chess level world my friend .A world of smart and cool people

@@Magikk9 I prefer games like poker where human strategy trumps the sperg, and humans can still beat the computer.

@@rmac3217tf how did he cheat he just pratices

Simp!

Classical games usually require a ton of preparation, that's why a lot of people do not want to do those. Viewers usually find them less interesting, because they're slow in live games and need to be analyzed afterwards in order to be interesting for the common viewer, which is even more invested time. Also classical games take very long so you'll get less content out of any given time. I think that's mostly why not a lot of youtubers do them. It's not like they have much time with how rigorous video release schedules need to be in order to retain viewership on youtube.

I don't think they require a ton of preparation, particularly not for the majority of these streamers. Some of them are barely at 2200 level, others are even lower than that. At that level, they are playing in mainly swisses anyway, so there's not a lot of preparation that they can do. I beg to differ about viewers finding classical games less interesting. People who play chess seriously (e.g. not just online chess) get a lot out of classical games where they can see and learn changes from the middlegame to the endgame. You don't see that in blitz and bullet. It's all about simple threats and counter-threats, and in some cases, premoves. Of course you can get more content in bullet and blitz, but how often do you see these streamers take the time to analyze these games thoroughly. I can watch a full day worth of strong classical games like in the FIDE world cup. But give me blitz or bullet for 30 minutes and I lose interest because often the opening lines are faulty, and meant to "trick" the other player, or it just seems to all be about the quickness of the moves. I remember following Anna's mom, Pia's analysis. It was amazingly deep information. Even Anna's moves had more invested in them than the way she plays during quick chess streaming. I liked the fact that she took the opportunity to play classical games, and let the spectators see her as more of a serious chess player.

@@AlexanderNevermind888 There have been multiple KZfaqrs, among them Gothamchess and Eric Rosen, who have stated on stream that ANY classical games they play require a lot more preparation and Levy once started training for his GM norms and said, this specifically is beyond him to accomplish simply in time needed for preparation parallel to his usual content updates. So I am somewhat confident in them needing way more time to prepare for classical games. Also, if you really want to learn and analyze classical games, why not turn to the best out there who play tons of classical games, the top GMs? While i think it can be very entertaining to see your beloved KZfaqr analyze these games and explain their way of thinking in that it allows a more personal approach to their way of thinking and personalities, chess-wise it should not be as interesting as top games by top players. Also, while there might be the odd 5% or less viewership that play chess seriously, most viewers will watch these games for entertainment first and chess analysis second - at least in my estimation. And for those classical games are just not as relevant. I'm pretty sure if classical games were about as much preparation and would retain about as much viewership as all these others, chess KZfaqrs would do many more videos in that category, but usually all you find is KZfaqrs analysing top games by top GMs, rarely their own (Eric Rosen is the biggest outlier i can think of there).

​@@AlexanderNevermind888I fully agree with everything except the preperation Part, most players around that Level, especially if they havent played for some time have to invest time into preperation or dont feel good without it at least

@@sackfoga3779 You're right. Of course, they definitely have to put some time into prep, but I don't think it requires much more time than the average master puts in. In the recent women's US championship, a lot of those girls/women were still in school and taking classes each day, yet prepped enough during their off time to play some decent classical chess. Even watching the games, I could see the difference between their classical play and the spontaneous moves we see when they play those blitz tournaments.

As someone living in Singapore, there are a lot of undercover chess players who are good players, but are not really represented on the top stage, glad to see Singapore chess players get some recognition

The heck, i dont play chess so first time stumbling upon her video, she seemed so humbled herself i just thought she was like a decently good player not a National Champ.

go Canada!

@@cooldude360an even the lower rank male players can beat her soundly.

@@cooldude360an well, she's just around FM strength... If you're pretty decent in openings, you've got chances holding up against 2200s~ FM level players... IMs on the other hand are probably different level of monsters lol (she even told us herself that she only play some certain openings comfortably, she only play the Spanish, if I'm not mistaken lol, but she's definitely above average...!! :) )

@@amoldivo i have no idea cause i dont play chess but seeing that hes like 2600 and only like rank 300, theres definitely some crazy guys out there, that i could understand lol

😂

That is the first skill that I have to learn then. My pinky finger doesn't go up much.

That skill may be acquired from years of losing too .

im gonna need to learn that to inflict fear on others to think that I'm a decent player

​@@johndododoe1411Losing is not necessarily bad, sometimes it's even better than winning as long as you learn something and be better than before the loss.

Lol! I don't know if there is ever a more obvious setup!

It’s a self selected group. People that volunteer to come to the board and play on camera are not a truly random sample of the general population.

​@@Chris.4345Finally someone who realises that.

@@Chris.4345 Yeah, but the odds of playing a master - nonetheless the best player in the country you're in - are still ridiculously low.

@@anonymustarrasque3550 The odds of playing a master for a random chess game are low. The odds of playing a chess master when you yourself are a master and are publicizing your presence and broadcasting your games for an audience are much higher. Not even low anymore. A self selected group.

The actual percentage is probably much lower, it’s just undercover master games are more entertaining than beating a random person who doesn’t really play chess, so not all of those videos will get uploaded whereas an undercover master game will almost always be posted.

Of course he did ... he knows her rating is 2200 and his is 2570.

WGM is a lot weaker than GM. Her FIDE rating is 2200

No way a gm can't recognise a top rank gm

Who is this undercover top ranked world grandmaster? Magnus? Hikaru? Wesley? Anish? Top ranked gms are known because there are just a few of them.

@@user-oj1jk5nc2j wear a disguise

@@wavemaker2077you can search google Singapore chess player ranking. The number 1 is grandmaster. By refer to ranking, his skill level is far beyond her. They are a lot of grandmasters in world, it is impossible that she can know all of them

@@SonlangSiek But it's kind of pointless to go undercover for a few games

​@@akaNemsko😂😂

​@@akaNemsko He's seen as a rising star not because he's new in Singapore, but his rating is still rising and he's still climbing the ranks!! Esp after his win over Niemann his profile has just been rising lately. As a Singaporean I wouldn't say that comment was entirely wrong, but definitely intentionally deceiving.

​@@balloooomBeating Niemann (if you're GM) doesn't tell much. Overall performance against field if legit GMs does

@@DrinkWater713 Yes, i am the one Singaporean stronger than him but lower rating, Just kidding

They come much younger than that.

same i dont understand how you dont like endgames.. Like if you love chess you love endgames..

for me this girl is annoying, she talks so much insteadnof thinking and seems like she learned her moves by heart without actually logic thinking talent.. it‘s like a tryhard person without talent

He's not a professional player

@@guanyeuansim3912 You mean he's an amateur with grandmaster rating?
