The fact that there was a chance of En Passant and it wasn't played shows the amount of control these players have..
Any 1800+ player does that

yeap, most people when they see en passant they think its a free en croissant and take it before someone else does.

The electrical engineer who forgot a cable in the ceiling: "gulp."
It was an electrical cable! It can't even transmit data! Aaaaaaah!
@@stoutlager6325 why not? On/off Morse code type data would work. It’s chess, you could convey a move without very much data.
@@YT7mc true, but come on. It was such a stupid thing to be worried about, there’s no way it meant anything.
@@ZachTheHuman I don’t think there was any cheating, but the idea of “it can’t transmit data” makes no sense.
@@YT7mc I know. He could grab one end and feel electric shocks for instance. But it’s still paranoid.

You have my complete attention.

Agreed

This would be a great video, in the mean time, GM Ashley has a great video of top players blundering on his yt page

Man this is so hilarious.
"But they are very experienced at this"
@@83n38 you've probbaly misspelled a word since you edited your comment
You’d think if you’re gonna be too prideful to shake hands you’d at least not look like a middle schooler trying to avoid eye contact with their crush.
Pro move in this situation would be to stare at your opponent the whole match instead. You've already got him looking anywhere but at you, take the opportunity to make him as uncomfortable as possible. Who knows, it might put him off his game a bit.
"There was cheating accusations like chairs, blueberry yogurt, hypnotizes"🤣🤣

Controversy level : Grandmaster
Well, there was a long interview with Kramnik not long ago where he explained his view on that tournament. While toilet issue may sound funny it actually was a serious problem. Basically Kramnik suspected that after forcing him to go to public tiolet instead of the one restricted to players only next step would be some convenient guy suggesting him a move on the way there with scandal and possibly disqualification following. So he refused to play on such terms as his whole career and reputation could be destroyed if he was right
@@IsterTheGnome last time I checked, nobody asked
@@imno444 don’t be a **** head
@@IsterTheGnome nice collage essay
@@imno444 I asked, now stfu
clearly the only reason Vladimir went to the bathroom too much is because he wanted to play the games with post nut clarity all the time.
What the fuck did I just read…
some jojo's bizarre adventure logic goin on
Me
Olum lan :D
post nut clarity is just depression
Kramnik: *goes in the toilet and takes out the paper in his pocket*
The paper: "A pawn may capture en passant a horizontally adjacent enemy pawn that has just advanced two squares in one move. It's always forced."
Kramnik: FFFUU***KKK ! I blundered En Passant !!!
The idea of a world champion cheating with post-it notes is hilarious.
so underrated comment 😂
the trick to cheating in chess is hiding a mirror on the ceiling so that you can look up and see where your opponents pieces are
My friends: Chess is boring what is fun about it
Me: Well it is complicated
I know right
its star wars without the CGI!
''you wouldn't get it''
*cable staring at you from the ceiling*
Change ur friends bruh
Like when someone was accused of having an engine in their lip balm kekw
Lol
Anna Rudolf made a whole video about her experience. It's basically three adults bullying a kid and look like garbage in front of everybody.
Ye Anna...
Anna Rudolf lol
@@legueu my knowledge of that scandal comes from Agadmators video. We are not same bro.
Aand vs Carlsen championship now feels like the most calm championship
Aand kuja
Well it was calm wasn't it?
Anand's matches against Gelfand and Kramnik were also calm. In the case of Gelfand, maybe too calm
@@bobing1752 not exactly, coz one important member of Anand's team quit and joined carlsen's team just before the championship match, and as u know this world isn't kind and honest enough to expect no leak of preparation and strategies, so yes no way was it calm, anand just didn't rant coz he is such a gentleman
@@vedpardhi6409 I disagree on the point that this wasn't calm. It was. This preparation thing was maybe upseting to them, but neither of them has talked about it (to my knowledge at least) so I'm safe saying there was nothing dramatic here. Just an anecdote and speculations.
Also, going through the game, I don't think Magnus outprepared Vishy. So maybe all of this is just a nothing burger. Maybe not, but the thing is: they didn't talk about it.
Forfeiting a game but winning anyway is an incredible flex
Guys.. notice Levi is blinking in a weird pattern, I think he's trying to ask for help in Morse code

I never thought I’d hear the words “drama including chairs, blueberry yogurt and hypnotists.”
What I learned form this video and the Hikaru drama: chess stars have insanely brilliant minds who really often behave like children.
what's the Hikaru drama?
@@ferriferoustourmaline Nakamura played Hansen, Nakamura lost and said "I don't care, I don't literally care", then copystriked any video with the clip. Later, a fight in between Hansen and Nakamura was shown. Nakamura lost some subscribers before gaining back.

@@californium-2526 wait what? That actually happened?
@@californium-2526 wait did Hikaru copystrike videos of it or just a random bot doing it or somethin? don't know any of these stuff so pls don't shit on me
Fun fact about that match - Kramnik went more than 40 times to the restroom in a single game.
sus
Stomach problems
When in stress its normal to digestive system to squeeze and work.(sometimes it becomes a problem to me too when sports competition or exams)
He also had health problems and was on medication for arthritis
@@rouenyu and there are aphantasia, hiperphantasia, etc there are levels of quality of mental image. I can play chess blindfolded with much effort and much weaker and I would expect it's the same with Kramnik but at the end you never know.

Now they carefully have to ignore each other xD. GM beef is so cute its funny, you accused me of cheating on the most prestigious stage of our careers? WELL I WONT SHAKE YOUR HAND!
*crowd gasp*
@Bot AtChess i am now imagining something like a slice of life but with chess grandmasters as the characters xD
The Daily Lives Of Chess SuperGMs
@Bot AtChess ye im caught up to sangatsu, rei has gotten so far its like we watched him grow up, which is odd to say cause im younger than him hehe
Anyways yes 3-gatsu is amazing ,10/10 manga
@Bot AtChess a chess manga/anime could honestly work wonders,good game adaptations like sangatsu and chihayafuru shows that it can be done ,but we may have to wait quite a while before a chess based piece comes along
BTW whats your top 5 anime
I like the one where Topalov extends his arm forward like it's gonna be a handshake NOPE, jebaited, just setting the clock. And then in the background you see Levon and Anish actually shaking hands.
@Bot AtChess I've read the higurashi vns, I know exactly what you mean my friend
Haven't seen lain yet, it's on the watchlist for now, will get to it
Death note is probably in the top 3 most well known anime , although yes it did have a slight decline post L death but yes, one of my firsts and definitely good
Monster manga is 10/10, it was amazing to see how attached we got to characters who lasted for 2 TO 3 CHAPTERS AT MOST, Johan is probably the best antagonist of all time
Haven't seen kings game or flowers of evil, I'll add to the watchlist
Anohana and the tears we cried that day *KIMI TO NATSU NO OWARI SHORAI NO YUME OOKITA KI BOWO WASURETAI*
Terror in resonance is criminally underrated, I just wished they'd gotten a better end
Thank you Levy. Today for the first time I was able to beat Stockfish level 5. This progress goes completely to you. I’ve been watching your videos and lessons and I have been learning a lot.I got some subs from Twitch and I made a contribution to you via Paypal as a token of appreciation for all that you do. With kind regards Dipak
Topalov: * sacrifices a queen *
Also Topalov: "I'll fcking do it again!"
Toilet Gate brings back a lot of memories
Hope you get your channel monetisation back, bro. The most engaging and entertaining chess teacher I have found on CZcams. You make the theory enjoyable. Appreciate you, Levy!
What happened here, exactly? I’m out of the loop...
@@3ternalHours Levy decided to split from his CZcams management network (no idea why), but didn't realise that doing so would remove his ability to monetize videos. I think all he has to do is ask CZcams to give him that status again (they don't have any obvious reason to deny it), but who knows how long it will take...
The famous Water Closet match. Here we go
Imagine how terrible it must feel when one of them loses to another
23:00
Can we please appreciate how casually Levy says: „You have to put them in separate rooms like game theory“
Very interesting…
Still waiting for the video of Vishy winning the candidates and challenging Magnus for world championship as you promised
lol
Add #suggestion.
Wait! Wrong channel.
@@NotoriousKhamid what the...
Come on this video series will end soon, save some for later 😩😩
"I feel like one of them should have pulled up in an all adidas outfit and squatted outside next to a black bmw" lmao
ive seen so many tournaments and played against small "tournaments" in college it feels very unnatural to not shake hands
On Kramnik's keychain was a tiny flashlight, of the kind you use to see the keyhole in the dark. Unknown to the chess organisers, Kramnik's manager was writing secret messages in invisibility pen on the white tiles, and Kramnik would use his ultraviolet flashlight to read them, then wipe them off and resume the match.
here after he accused hikaru of cheating online
normally i cant watch YT content for more than 15min but the way you tell the story or strategy and also make it informative and fun to watch really makes me forget that im wachting videos of 30min or 50min+
keep it up!
Love it! So much drama. I just found your channel because of the BBC clip about chess streamers and the impact of the Queen's Gambit. I used to play a little bit of chess as a child, and we had a chess club at my elementary school, but it was all very basic. We didn't learn a lot of advanced chess and I never even came close to doing a ranked match. Then I saw QG and it has definitely renewed my enthousiasm.
Why, WHY *WHY* AM I INTERESTED IN THIS
Don't wanna know what your dark chess pieces are made of.
@@rangeldino2633 Damn, that's clever.
We cannot know what happened for sure, but you have to admit that Kramnik going up to 50 times to the bathroom each game is not normal... Every game!!!
I mean when you see the lengths the KGB went for doping athletes by drilling through walls in bathrooms to change samples around it's hard not to think they had a way to get him a computer of some sort.
It's not normal. He was using the bathroom as a tactic to annoy tupolov. Kasparov would go to his waiting room after every move during his match with Anand
i was just trying to find a gotham video that i hadn't watched yet couldn't find any , but you came in clutch
Love your content, 1M coming soon
Thank you so much for making these videos Levy! I love these chess stories so much! Please keep it up ♥️
Found your channel yesterday. Been binge watching it. Keep up the good work man
Thank you Levy for making a video on Topalov, as a Bulgarian I can confirm he’s considered a hero among us; it’s a shame his international reputation is less than stellar (he’s a brilliant chess mind though)
I'm Russian, and Veselin is a one of the goats, he is a chess real magician
Hey Levy. Hope you’re doing alright. You’ll probably never see this, but just letting you know, I appreciate your videos. Helps me stay distracted from some of the harder things in life. If you ever feel stressed to make content, feel free to take a break for as long as you like.
I was studying the semi-slav defense, and Levy uploads this video...Thanks!
I never thought great storytelling and chess could go hand and hand until subscribing to this channel. Well done.
So, this Championship was basically a Queen‘s Gambit masterclass.
One of the most entertaining chess videos i have ever seen ... i was not into chess at that period of time unfortunately , and i heard about this incident but did not now any details ... thanks brother 😁
Hey Levy, love the videos, they've really helped me improve. I was thinking maybe you could make one where you go through the history of the world championship (first one, times it's been split/controversies, etc.).
0:41 Levy tryna earn his GM norm at killing flies
Did Kramnik ever explain his ridicoulus amount of bathroom visits?
Because it does look mighty suspicious. Diarrhea?
If you are bored and cant do anything, but sit and do nothing its pretty normal to go to the toilet more maybe even only to wasch your hands or drink some water.
@@emperorsascharoni9577 They had water there, but more importantly 50 visits. Fifty? That's surreal. honestly, I do believe there is something off there.
@@vladimirgertner3960 If it was 50 over 3 games its just less than 3 times per hour. Still a lot though.
@@emperorsascharoni9577 i mean, i get it, but if you go 3 times, then play a move, then you go 3 times to play the next move, it does get a bit fishy there.
he said in an inerview that he has bradycardia(low pulse rate) so he needs to move frequently for blood to circulate normally
wow i just found this playlist. Cheers to GC the GOAT
