@@awesomechannel7713 He is producing quality content, and he explains the moves, so people like you can even start to think about why they were played. He isn't doing anything to embarrass himself, and I'm sure everyone is having fun. Stop being disrespectful.
amazing game by hikaru. props to Wesley for finishing the game as well. He knew that Hikaru was playing one of the best games of his life and it wasnt fair to resign.
Good sportsmanship 💯
Wesley is top echelon good guy.
Was about to say the same. I don’t remember who it was, but I remember seeing an interview with a Super GM where he talked about how he likes not to resign to give his opponents the satisfaction of a good mate. True sportsmanship
@@gusleffers9265 probably Rapport, I feel like he's of the same mold. Respects the game a lot and will allow a brilliant sequence to be played out instead of resigning
Chad
One of the most insane things about this video is the fact that the only pieces Hikaru even took the whole game were four pawns and a bishop
My thoughts as well, he broke one of the fundamental principles and it payed off big time, just goes to show the level of genius he is in this game
I mean, the more pieces on the board, the more corners to get the king stuck and begging for his life
Hikaru's main weakness back then was easily getting bored in longer formats and drawn endgames and 2. nervousness ... He has changed that in recent years , and he once(2-3 years back or so) was rated 3350 in blitz and 3550 in bullet of I'm not wrong
when i do this in my games its a blunder and i get checkmated
Wesley the true MVP here - he sure saw it coming a long time before but gave Hikaru the room to play that beautiful sequence until the end. That checkmate position and the way he got there is truly something special.
There was nothing he could have done, as Levi said
@@_Lion_Agar.io_ He could have resigned (dunno if that's the correct term, englisch is not my mother language), that's what I was referring to.
@@dunngyllite7883but then someone would snap his left toe
Lmao

Thank you for the time

Hi
That was actually insane. Hikaru literally tied up white's king, towed him to the other side of the board and pushed him off of a cliff
I love this comment
"w"esley "s"o
I haven't watched yet but I can confidently assure you he literally did none of those things
@@lukispillz981 you know it's a joke, right?
@@nishyanthkumar the joke would still work without misusing the word literally. Words matter
His short smile just before 12:18 well knowing that we were all thinking the same thing. I love this man so much
i didn't notice that while watching the video, but now that you mention it.
"You can't stop an avalanche with a horse, but you definitely can't stop an avalanche without a horse" -Levy, 2023
black horse have more resistence to avalanche temperature cus they are blacks, so black winning
@@unidentifieduser5346 nah. Black horses are resistant to hot temperatures., not cold. White is resistant to cold.
I'll have what Levy is snorting.
@@psijicassassin7166ill snort levy
props to Wesley for taking that humiliation like a champ
how is it humiliation? lol
@@matteomarku7177 So had to walk his king to the other side of the board with the king's tail up their ass. How is that not humiliating?
@@Cediekuuun Losing vs the best players cant be humiliating.
@@matteomarku7177 yes it can? LOL. You think being in the top 0.001% you'd have a defeat that doesn't involve your KING, the piece that you should be keeping alive and safe and away from any harm, having it walk to the enemy side BY FORCE and be mated with almost all of your surrounding squares be open is not humiliating? I love wesley so, we come from the same country. But you can't defend this as not humiliating in any way shape or form
@@Cediekuuun Not humiliating, its humiliating if hikaru loses vs a 1600
Gotta respect Wesley for taking that like a champ. I’m sure he knew the game was over long before it ended. But instead of resigning he let it play out. It really was the perfect kings Indian game from hikaru.
Broz got no rizz
Great game for Hikaru but man, props to Wesley for being a class act. One of my favorite SGMs. Humble yet deadly.
Levy gets so happy when he gets to say "THE ROOOOK!!!"
I think the unsung hero of this game is Wesley So for allowing himself to get checkmated in such a glorious fashion instead of simply resigning when he discovered the net... truly world-class.
real
@There is zero pictures of earth from space. no
Someone: Sacrifices the rook. Levy: 6900 chess.
sacrifices... THE ROOOOOOK!!
Only if your name were Hikaru.
Indeed it's not the rook, but THE ROOOOOOK!!!
Sacrifice… THE KIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!!!!!
@There is zero pictures of earth from space. the flat is earth
"H takes G3 stops the attack And Hikaru plays H TAKES G3!!!!!" Thats was a legendary moment.
15:59 can't we just admire the fact that 3 pieces are protecting the queen for this mate? can we?
Holy shit that is beautiful
Also the way a lot of black pieces are arranged is like the white king is in the black player's court.
Every time Levy says "THE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOK" it just makes my day
It was so fucking beautiful
it's like it's his STAND
@There is zero pictures of earth from space. 1: no 2: no 3: no 4: no 5: what does this have to do with THE ROOOOOOOOOK? 6: no 7: no 8: no 9: no 10: u dumb? 11: no 12: no
@There is zero pictures of earth from space.No
Yesterday, I felt like Hikaru back then. I played a 95% accuracy 0 blunder 0 mistake caro kann. (40 move game and I’m around 1600 against 1650
Levy is the only content creator that can get away with “react” videos. Comedic and informative
Lol you’re really stretching the definition of the word react
A GM's inaccuracy, is our inaccuracy to notice that
That final position is a beauty. Only the king and queen are directly participating in the checkmate, but the entire remaining army is defending the queen.
I'm glad Wesley decided to play until the end, truly a masterpiece.
You mean "masterpiece"?
@@blueheart9873 Yeap, I already corrected it, but let us never forget I confused "masterpiece" with "master peace"

"You can't stop an avalanche with a horse." - Levi 2023
You guessed it!!!
Good sportsmanship by Wesley not resigning but letting Hikaru deliver final blow!
That's not good sportsmanship in chess.. resigning when you know youre lost is. Wesley was likely a bit salty
@@OArchivesX when you get 6 brilliants in a game I’m pretty sure that’s good sportsmanship
Right. I'd have let my time run out 😅
@There is zero pictures of earth from space. I respect your belief
15:51 hello 911? I'd like to report a murder
The amazing thing about that checkmate is that Hikaru's king even has a part in it! All of the black pieces moved!
8:00 ".. The king will be brought out by his hair." Epic foreshadowing.
Levys stare was such an astonishing anomaly that is embarked me to start a career as a philanthropist

This is almost like Yuji's 4x black flash in a row
I love the way Levy gives life lessons within a chess game
That was an incredible game! I'm so happy Wesley let Hikaru play out the mate, it was gorgeous.
Me when the game review gives my epic sacrifice as a blunder: 5:29
Me when I hear an excited tone when a piece will be sacrificed: THE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Few things compare to the art of a chess game when it's played this beautifully.
14:14 this is what passion looks like.
You rally make the best content but man that stare was truly a 10/10 today, absolutly astonishing
@YeaMan a dumpster fire indeed
I just love when levy says "THE ROOOOOOOK"
Bro! This is insane you’re #10 on trending for gaming! Congratulations Levy!
9:22 Someone take this out of context PLEASE
You made me watch 2 6 second add
“That’s like me.. uh.. finding it impressive that you walk to your local playground and beat up a three-year-old, okay?”
I just want to thank levy for the content. I duck at chess and this man made seem so fun and now I’m deep in a rabbit hole, even though I do t understand why those were brilliant moves, levy explaining it helps a ton. Thanks Levi
I too, duck at chess 😢

"Do people even exist beyond the age of 45?" I'm physically dying😂😂
9:43 no.
This checkmate position is just too beautiful, my man Hikaru just forced the king to his death, while the black pieces are all just watching this beautiful execution at the final, so glad for wesley not resigning
"He sacrificed the rooooooooook" is the best thing in the world.
i also want to say that Wesley so held so well. anyone would have been obliterate after just one or two brillant move. they are truly both incredible.
14:09 levy has officially lost it 💀
3:17 I love that part "Aim for the bushes"
Games like this remind me why I love chess so much, absolute beauty
Bro was so shocked Hikaru sacrificed the room and didn't yell.
Wesley must have felt humiliated and proud at the same time for watching this amazing game from Hikaru in 2015 where he made 6 brilliant moves in one game
He should be proud because that means he had Hikaru on the rooes 6 times, and hikaru still found the 6 moves necessary to make the way out of that sticky situation
Me: *gets a brilliant move and I’m so proud of myself* Hikaru: *does what I did times 6 all in a row*
I did not expect to be laughing so much by clicking on a chess video, hahaha absolutely love the flow and the storytelling that Levy manages to breathe into a chess game
Great game. Good on Wesley for allowing hikaru to finish his brilliancy.
Levy memorizing Harry Potter quotes and scenes just fits so perfectly
Levy is the most wholesome guy, he went out of his way to make an amazing video just to share a game we would all enjoy, great guy ❤
wesley a real one for letting him mate
"Do people exist the beyond of age 45?: me:but my grandmother is 80
We are really proud of you Levy and your amazing videos, keep up the good work
I split this video in half and watched them yesterday and today. It made both my days. What a masterpiece of a game
I am glad I watched this whole video. You went through a rollercoaster my guy, you do not seem tired one bit, you seem hyped up on 3 cups of coffee and pure brilliance
"nearly three coffees and you still feel tired" boi, you are ENERGIZED
I can always count on Levy to say that a game is the best game he's ever seen everyday!
i litterally cried of how beautiful this is, you mad my day levy
@There is zero pictures of earth from space. its actually bagel shaped
both of you guys are mistaken, the earth is a straight line
You are all wrong, the earth is shaped like a condom
um, if the eartyh s bsgel or line shape. How Doesit the gravity to the center when, their is no center? obviously it is the pyramidal shape
I am so glad that I waited to see the whole game, that was phenomenal.
Bro is so dashy i waited an eternity before the match was shown
Instead of hxg3, Hikaru played *HXG3!!!* 13:58 -GothamChess
Levy sharing what he learned in boxing class was really impacting
Levy: ignore that side bar The side bar: *is all gothamchess*
The way he just explained it so calm makes me happy
I don’t even understand the brilliant moves until levy explains it😂
Im truly glad i watched the entire game, thank you gotham.
even the robot was shocked by hikaru
This day I am feeling low, this game and your commentary i am up again thankyou levy
11:00 from this point forward, a SIRI'S of brillancies begins
Levy I just hit 800 ELO (I know rookie numbers) and it’s all because of your videos. You’ve helped me so much!!! ❤️ Keep doing what you’re doing man!
Same I’m 650 after my brother cheated on so many games against me though. I bet you can make to 1000 and over 😊
Your voice changes and analogies are so relatable and realistic ahxahxahxa
16:55 what a way to end the video LOL "Maybe one day you'll do something like this... from the white side"
4:38 be like 😅
Bro predicted my whole sidebar
Props to Wesly So for not resigning, we can't see many killer combinations because of resignation
I love it when Levy is in a good mood.
I was as impressed as I was horrified. It's not many games I have watched where I completely don't envy the losing side. But I think if I were Wesley trying to fight that kind of an attack, I'm pretty sure I'd break down crying
"THE ROOOOOOOOOOK!"🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
levy: this computer can shut up also levy: according to this computer hikaru made 6 brillant moves!1!!!
Today's stare was an 6/10, very focused and took a good look into my soul. Those 2 seconds changed my life forever, I will truly never forget it. However, it could have been even better if it was longer and harder. You should really try next time Gotham, although today's stare was decent, I have seen many others which are far better than the one presented today. Opening the eyes more could have really given a more focused and intriguing look, as well as tightly sealing the lips together and raising the eyebrows. This really shows how serious you are and from today's video, I can see that you definitely weren't. Up your game Gotham, next time I expect better from you.
ur not funny.
15:32 i wished hikaru played the disrespectful royal fork
Hahah 😊
I love the commentating, keep up the good work levy
1:09 i'm literally chilling watching my other monitor to make sure I don't die in my raid farm
I'm just as impressed by the sequence of brilliant moves as I'm impressed with a GM game ending in mate
This may be one of the best games of Hikarus career, it shows his immense skill in solving puzzles and figuring out these astonishingly crushing maneuvers. Hikaru is America's greatest talent since Fischer!
hikaru really took Sun Tzu's teachings teachings to heart,bro won the war without fighting
