Thanks babe

Holy shit he is sooo freaking lucky to be able to learn from one of the best players in the world while being a beginner. Man this Shikaru guy is lucky.
They kinda had us in the first half ngl
Lmao

He’s actually trying really hard to learn the game but chat keeps bullying him like this is the first time I’ve ever seen him so dedicated to actually learning something
JUST DON'T READ CHAT 4Heed
@Devil I VOTED FOR FORSEN EleGiggle
Mars It kind of gives me a brain ache seeing chat acting like they’re any better, but I don’t think think XQC cares tbh. I also really enjoy watching him learning the game.
@@MattiMCFC some of them probably are, and the ones that aren't don't care either
Chat is just memeing we love our pepega xqcL0
"My brain is starting to develop now" -xQc
I literally busted out laughing and my roommate thought I was lame for laughing at a chess video 😂
Now just needs to develop pieces 😂
Not at all
When xQc plays with Hikaru: '5Head'
When xQc plays by himself: 'Pepega'
MrFnx TRUE LULW
He really does play some dumb fucking moves without thinking twice about it
When xQc plays with himself: 'gachiHYPER'
Video editor is an actual genius, used audio from Hikaru's stream instead of xcc's so that we wouldn't hear donos over them 5Head
xBomber45 maybe the editor is the one that should be playing chess
Ali Hodge editor actually 6head he doesn’t play anything and gets paid
I think he did it because of the music in the backround of xqc's stream
yeah, sadly Hikaru is a lot louder than xqc and I can't understand what xqc says
sometimes xqc sees 5 moves ahead sometimes he doesn’t see one move ahead
sometimes he doesn't even see 1 move back, like he lost material and didn't notice
just like anyone who starting in Chess
He never sees 5 ahead lmao. Dudes a smooth brain
@@it00ns I hope people call you a smooth brain whenever you're learning a new skill
@@madisonhayden2802 okay, now I feel bad
Hikaru: "Do you know what files are?"
xQc: "FLIES??"
16:02 “I though the french defense would be a surrender” LMAOO

😂 laughed hard at that one, good one pvc
"LA LIGNE MAGINOT" 16:30
Lol you could just put a little white flag on the board
Ben finegold approves
I would pay money to see Magnus Carlsen interact with this pepega.
Magnus is kind of boring. Get Garry Kasparov in here and you'd have a masterpiece
Magnus is way too awkward on camera, it just wouldn’t be entertaining
@@samw.1421 hes still a pretty cool guy tho
@@JA-nv4zb Kasparov would flip out, he doesn't fare very well with people who are this bad at logical thinking.This guy takes forever to see one move ahead even with the hint , let alone a sequence of moves.It's like he's refusing/unable to use his head.
I think hikura does a very good job
This shikaru guy put up a pretty good fight against the best chess player in the world
Well, no, i have to disagree. Obviously, that GM guy was crushing that random streamer. I mean, xQC already calculated everything in every game, but lost on purpose, so that the random streamer doesnt get his career ruined.

The first 15 minutes is unfair, imagine playing against the best chess player ever and hikaru
M. Rachman they werent even playing together yet
Sure, but xqc got matched against random people who dont even play the game seriously. I doubt they would be mad to hear that they lost 10 elo to 2 of the best chess players in the world, xqcow and hikaru.
They missed the joke :/
@@azkhoyo731 only lynettaye missed the joke, and she didn't even understand the comment
@@ploopybear tru tru
Nice for xQc to hold back, being a specimen of 776+ IQ
Hikaru looks like a proud dad when xqc makes a good move. So funny
love the fist pumps lmao
Hes a competetive player
(srry my english bad)
@@holycat8969 *He's a competitive player.
Don't be afraid to write down your thoughts tho. Have a nice day.
This hikaru hanamura guy is pretty decent at chess, he should try a tournament or something
hahah i know right.
@lawlietgenius 175 issa meme
There is an ongoing tournament and you can watch him live "magnus invitational"
Le Lenny hanamura lmao
He already played in a tournament
Being able to see xqc and chat without listening to donos is amazing, absolute 5head editor
"i thought the french defense would be to surrender" Good one SHNOZY LULW
actually funny af xqc has still got it bois
France PepeLaugh
Hikaru is a very good teacher. He's really patient with xQc.
Imagine having to play againt one of the best chess players in the world.Poor Hikaru
I always watch chess videos where amazing players explain stuff, and you totally agree with them. Now this is different, because xQc is playing while Hikaru comments on what is going on, which is way more instrutional that GMs explaining their awesome moves. Here you learn why the bad moves we see all the time are bad. I think the format where xQc plays and Hikaru comments is the best way to go
It's actually a really good education series for beginners because Nakamura is explaining things for an absolute beginner.
90% of chat probably don’t even play chess
yea
What?
Doubt it
This is true.
its xqc chat so obviously they dont
Pepega vs 5head battle of the century that should have been the title
Yt viewers won't know what pepega or 5head mean tho so they are less likely to click on it meaning less views
Edit: NEW yt viewers
Dan Heslop ? Da faq is wrong with you?
@@latebustuesday1024 that is not how it work sir
@@phambao6901 Bao Pham No, he has a point. If the editor wants to attract more newer viewers, a simple title will stick out more to them, rather than vocab. they've never heard before.
@Dan Heslop How excruciating to hear? This gentleman does not believe in men of culture from other platforms! 5Head🍷
I find this so wholesome he should teach you more
true. Hikaru is very nice
Yea. Xqc should teach that random streamer more.
@@unoriginalcopy9844 "you" refers to XQC as here is his channel, you funny punk.
@@pedram0098 you realise hes joking you pepega
xQc should turn on the "show possible moves" in settings
AHHH I SEE, someone tell him pawns are like tanks in OW. They create space and opportunities for your dps to pop off
Where is the "he is stream sniping me!"
Hikaru: "Nonono, I won't make a different account and stream snipe, that would be mean." or something along this line
this was entertaining as fuck to watch, actual cool watching the warlord learn xD
13:30 Naka evil smile at XQC not seeing a mate in 1
Stockfish code be like "lobster attack, the wooden shield, bing bing bong takes, french defense opponent surrenders"

I feel bad for xqc at this point, just getting rolled, but he is actually improving tremendously
I mean that's the best way to get better, as long as you see why you get rolled
@@hiasl3658 very tru. Mistakes allow us to learn and not repeat them
@@Faust4541 Well, have you seen a video of Hikaru rolling 2900s? No need to be feel bad 😄
@@HiFisch94 ye but the chats bullying him and he gets rolled by pawns. Its quite sad, fortunately he is improving tho, i can say cuz i have played chess in the past myself. Xqc is quite dedicated honestly but he needs to know the principles of openings
@@Faust4541 Chat always bullies him, even when he's playing in high ranked overwatch games or in tournaments. It's banter
*THUMBNAIL IS REAL!!* No one else in the world has a twig arm like the Schnozer’s! PogU!!
"there is no free pawn" 9:25,
There is no spoon -Matrix
Dud, these are so fun! Hikaru is such a chill teacher, he doesn't get upset or anything when xqc is missing something obvious. Very patient and kind. I would kill for a one-on-one session with him. Hope you keep improving and doing these sessions with him pvc, these are great.
I love how happy nakamura gets for xqc when he makes a good move.
I was dying inside when he wouldn’t take the pawn with his bishop and attack the queen while Hikaru was hinting it like crazy 💀
chat at 12:30 saying bad move and pepegas
OMEGALUL it was the best posssible move
all the people that dont know anything about chess prob thought hikaru laughed at the move then decided to act smart in chat lol
This is so sweet, love watching you play chess with Hikaru
Honestly I've been watching Hikaru for a while and I'm loving this series. I enjoy watching Felix learn the ways of this beautiful game.
Honestly the chess streams are my favorite content now
Someone in chat when xqc made the french defence joke: "Good one, Nose"
This match was a total POGCHAMP moment
Hikaru is such a nice, wholesome, and talented teacher. Spreading his massive chess wisdom on a new player without making him feel dumb and educating the thousands of viewers at the same time. Absolutely awesome
Xqcs volume is super low. Hikaru is heard just fine tho
The volume is proportional to each players skill level
@@BudgiePanic oh nonono
The PineApple I’d say xQc is a bit loud here
@@BudgiePanic nah i still can hear xQC voice
This man is actually so chill
That cheeky smile, while playing is just too hilarious
We want more!
Has anyone else noticed how quickly Hikaru grew his beard? Literally one or two weeks ago he had no beard at all.
11:15
Hikaru: you know what files are right?
xqc: FLIES??
When u can make a super GM talk and teach u about your own chess game. Believe me, it's a treasure.
wish i had a rare opportunity like that.
dude you're so lucky that you have a chance to learn chess from a GM... i hope you will learn this game quickly and really nice to see your effort.
5head takes 5 minutes to see checkmate in one while super GM is feeding him lines LULW
There is a certain feeling of uneasiness when Hikaru just smiles and watches us right after he places his moves
These are too good
Xqc should watch Hikaru's chess videos and see how he plays. It would blow his mind
I am sure he has seen it
Imagine playing with Hikaru in your corner;
I would have so much confidence
i lost it when chat started spamming LOBSTERED and Handicapped Harold PepeLaugh
The “whow” un the last 10 second had me dead
Man this is the best crossover ever
"I thought the french defense would be to surrender."
Says the frenchman.
xqc's arms in the thumbnail are pretty accurate
Ok this thumbnail is absolutely perfect! Gawd damn
I want “the lobster” to become a common chess term from now on
I applaud Hikaru’s patience here 👏
"So you're a queen up, 9 points u- ..."
I had a fkn stroke watching him figure out the checkmate with bishop on f3 and queen
EPIC!!!! LETS GO
I like how he uploads 12000 times a day
when I have the same profile picture as you
Wow cool. P
16:02 had me wheezing when I heard this on stream LMAOOOOOOO
I fucking love Hikaru, such a good teacher and nice guy. He is so good for the chess scene in general.
genuinely the most interesting xqc video ever made
5:43
he's so proud widepeepoHappy
He has no clue how lucky he is
He got to learn from hikaru dude .
he has
well xqc is the most popular streamer on twitch so its not that impressive
Lol love seeing those creative names in the friend requests.
I felt like it would have been a good opportunity to explain what position chess is like after the first game.
I like the fact that hikaru is always smiling
xQc vs Hikaru: *starts*
Me: oh no no no PepeLaugh
Thanks hikaru for doing this, very educational !
actually educational content
Hikaru: I'm giving you odds. You'll notice I'm missing something here.
Pvc: uhhhhhhhh
Hikaru: I don't have a queen.
Pvc: uhhhhhhhh
wow this pvc guy is so smert
This is what's wrong with our society. When someone is trying to learn a new skill, they get ridiculed and bullied into oblivion. I've never seen cBt so concentrated and thoughtful, he's trying his hardest to learn how to play a difficult game. But the chat bullies the shit out of him for being bad. You know people are born bad at everything, right? It's not being bad at something that should be ridiculed, it's not wanting to become better. If a person is the worst at something, but they try to become good at it, they should be encouraged. If you see a baby trying to make their first step, would you laugh at them for not being able to walk? See my point?
I agree but you lil too serious here.
You can't hate twitch chat for being twich chat, he gets tons of money for playing video games and 'entertainement', this is twich chat's current entertainement and they are the ones to decide that.
You’re right on the serious part of it, but can’t you see how much fun there is by writing or reading all this stupid stuff ?
Dude hikarus face the whole video just cracks me up 😂 hes like yooo check this out
I feel like Hikaru is just watching xqc's stream and watching cows reaction as he demolishes him slowly but surely lmaoo
WeirdChamp xqc, letting this "Chess Grandmanster" win little does he know your in top 500 pepperspray laugh
You vs the guy she told you to not worry about
He’s so encouraging
My mind reflected chats when The checkmate in one move became available.
That thumbnail is gold
I like how he always says "at your level"
Chess at gm level is a totally different game though
oh it is because there are 1400 or 1800 or 2200 ranked players and Hikaru's advices are not good for them.
At every level you go deeper and the move-set changes. So a move which is good for a 900 ranked player isn't good for a 1400, and vice versa
@TheGuy WhoPlaysChess nit about the moves. about the strategy.
Every level has a different strategy.
Watch for example Magnus vs Bill Gates. Magnus told hum that he purposely made mistakes in the game that made him worst, but since Bill is an amature he didn't know how to defend and found himself in a bad position and lost.
@TheGuy WhoPlaysChess I would say it's more about keeping things simple. For example, there was a game here where xQc protected his pawn with another pawn, when the book move is to protect it with the knight. And Hikaru says that is good, you protect the pawn and open a line for your bishop. If he developed the knight first, he would have the option of moving his other bishop outside the pawn chain before advancing the pawn. But if you ask a beginner to think about too many things, they forget to do the most important things.
It is very wholesome of Hikaru to have such high hopes for xQc
He's got a good teacher. He'll be going places soon
XQC: Last against a fucking GM for a good while
Loses against MajorCr1t1cal in the first couple of minutes.
LOL
how is he 1100 rating. literally having mental breakdown watching him
you start out in 1200
Should be more like ~600 the way he is playing. Maybe less
I'm not a subscriber of any of them, but it's refreshing to see someone mentoring someone who's really trying to learn chess.
Opposite side castleling is like a base trade.
25:01 Nakamura smiling knowing XQC lacks the critical information PepeLaugh
Oh no no no no pepelaugh
Hikaru is known for his evil smiles
I wonder if XQC really grinds chess with the help of Hikaru, if he could take on decent players, in a hundred years or so
depend what you mean by decent. I don't consider myself good (i'm averaging 1350 elo rating), but even for me watching him struggle that much with such simple puzzle is kinda depressing.
16:03
the best part is that he is from FRENCH Canada
8:29 I have never seen someone more shocked in my life. This guy thought his life was over.
