The “spoon” piece was added in the last chess update, it has the the ability to walk off the board and go around the enemy pieces and attack from behind
King: what do you bring to the table Spoon: Take me in the team & I will ensure opponent Queen would never move a step I will keep her occupied...... Meanwhile before starting of match: King where the hell is MY Queen & that freaking Spoon!!
2:50 That RPG conversation system kinda helped me improve my communication skills ngl, I think of my respond options and try to pick the one that's the best.
"Openings don't matter" is how I learned more openings. Sometimes I'll just play a random move or variant line in the opening and run with it. See I was getting a little bored with my same old lines ... and then I started to see I was actually doing book openings, which greatly expanded my opening repertoire and agility in the opening. So this was probably the best advice
It moves like a queen, but it can only capture pieces next to it. When it captures a piece, it doesn't take over the piece's square, but remains on the square it already stood on.

As a spoon, I can neither confirm nor deny that that was in fact a spoon.
neither nor
@@hendrew6652 lol I was about to mention that
I can confirm spooning may be involved.
As a tiny pink vibrator, I can confirm that it is, in fact, a lightbulb
I think your going to a lot of dark places
Spoon is a back-rank checkmater, for sure.
lmaaao
OK this is great.
The last time I mated someone with it, they were pretty butthurt
WOW absolutely brilliant 👏
Fucking killed it
"who are you warrior?"
Spoon:"My goals are beyond your understanding"
Spoon: i make people feel like a queen (or king depending who u ask) 🤣
everybody gangsta til people start putting chess pieces in their ass
To penetrate the back-file

Lmao

@@NihonNoS3kai really like your pfp
on todays episode of how f up is f up
I’ve been check-mated a few times with one of those, a real pain in the ass.
Backrank mate?
Even better pain when your queen gets pinned by this

Such a pain in the ass
i see what you did there
"Spoon"
?? BLUNDER
"Lightbulb"
?? BLUNDER
"Let's move along..."
★ Best Move
"i used this for back rank mate"
!! Brilliant
“Is this the piece Hans used to defeat magnus in 1 move?” !! Brilliant
This made my day
"I really need to know that"
-> Forced move
I like how the computer tell me my move was a blunder, in fact even I don't know that move was supposed to do.
The person who asked Hikaru to sign
a juicer is an absolute legend.
Do you think Hikaru would sign my spoon?
@@JeremiahHalpin if it's in a state in which you wouldn't mind eating cereal with it, I think it wouldn't be so bad
@@legasius9358 he is a true warrior always a lil dirty
Is he though?
First time in recorded history that Hikaru didn't take the juicer.
A different kind of mating pattern can be performed with that piece...
lmfao
shove the piece forward
You can win with that piece if you capture the queen with it.
Back rank spooning mate
so baaad 🤣🤣🤣
The most powerful piece, only true masters like Hans Niemann can handle it
can anyone explain it to me i dont get it
@@josephstittysucker1268 someone made a joke that Niemann won by the help of... some kind of DEVICE plugged into his butt

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME? I don't get it.
Interviewer: How many chess grandmasters does it take to change a light bulb?
Hikaru: Wait. Is it a spoon?
"How many chess grandmasters does it take to change a light bulb?"
Just one. That grandmaster is hans niemann
That's a special piece which you get when you promote your king to 8th row. Super GM like Hikaru should have known it😤
Probably Goes for it every Game…damn That thumbnail threw me off
Emperor
thats how hans cheated
7:04 you’re welcome
13:57 also
Hikaru predicted Hans cheating tactics way before it was mainstream. His calculations are incredible.
He can see Cheat in 2 months
Where did he predict it ?
Spoken like a true chess player... Hikaru def one of us
no reply
When having coffee with Hikaru, bring your own spoon
This coffee tastes like shit.
Basil Exposition: It IS shit, Hikaru.
@@MrNikolidas tastes like chicory
Alright I'll keep it in mind for the next time he calls me 👍🏻
Even in 2022, Hikaru's relationship with the internet is still akin to oil and water, and it's wholesome af.
Hikaru was the one that ended up being the butt of the joke
this is how you beat magnus.
@@Teddy-se8qb *bead
That's sus
And chat plugged the hole in his knowledge
good thing he plugged it 3:19
Hikaru explaining memes but not getting the joke makes me so happy

Spoon:
It's a chess piece that's mainly used for ambush. It's commonly used on offence and its rear attack are the worst.
It's often used for backrank checkmates
And it's always better to make it slide into the opponent's back rank
It is also the only piece that you can use to checkmate yourself
This is hilarious. So good to see a super gm who has a sense of humour and actually seems like a great guy and fun
this has to be the FUNNIEST react i've ever seen im in tears
same
easily impressed aren't y'all
1:17 WE ALL WAITED FOR THIS REACTION 😂
"Who are you, warrior? Which opening is your favorite?"
it only knows 2 openings
💀
@@Potato-ko3oc 3. 3 openings.
There Is No Spoon
unlimited mana for you
Underrated comment
It’s used for mating alright
i like the matrix reference
Hikaru ahead of time.. a month later the Spoon become the chess drama.
8:14 chat was about 5 seconds too slow on that one. Almost an epic gamer moment.
That final spoon though😂
Very good react, lot's of talented stuff, and Hikaru's reactions are priceless XD
ps. Badly placed spoon is a pain, but still playable
playable LMAO
Yeah for sure. A spoon. He almost tricked us. Good one Hikaru-San
This man is too pure and innocent
The “spoon” piece was added in the last chess update, it has the the ability to walk off the board and go around the enemy pieces and attack from behind
"Hikaru sees a mate in 537"
"Yeah this happened a few times to me" Thats so funny
7:14 love how he tried to find a pattern
What was the joke though lol?

Didn’t expect one of my memes to get reviewed two weeks after having it posted but hello mom I’m on tv
Spoon is like a pawn you sacrifice in order to weaken a backrank
**if ya know what I mean**
Oh my thumb was covering that spot. I didn't even know a piece fit there.
@@JeremiahHalpin bruh💀
light bulb is a pretty solid guess; if the sun won't shine you might as well bring your own light🤷♀️
To be fair to Magnus, he did say 'hi' after he won. I watched the match about a week ago.
Hans' favorite piece
I'm sure neimann is well aquatinted with this piece and can show hikaru how it moves
7:43 that's a Hans thing
did someone say "but plug" in the chat
this was by far the best Reddit react from Hikaru
King: what do you bring to the table
Spoon: Take me in the team & I will ensure opponent Queen would never move a step
I will keep her occupied......
Meanwhile before starting of match: King where the hell is MY Queen & that freaking Spoon!!
This sounds like a..... Oh
2:33...the best of all, by a mile.
7:14 looks like a stockfish to me😂
2:50 That RPG conversation system kinda helped me improve my communication skills ngl, I think of my respond options and try to pick the one that's the best.
Kind of disappointed hikaru didn't took the juicer 😞
true. in reality that fan should not have received that juicer back. just take the juicer
Fan upset Hikaru took his juicer. "Gotta take the juicer" the GM is quoted.
I hate the fact that i immediately knew what that was
I love how he uses the first few seconds to prove that the thumbnail wasn't clickbait...
It's a spoon that you eat chocolate out of.
It's the forbidden chocolate digger
2:52 Wish Chess terminology was more popular and used outside chess. I like to see "book move" "blunders" etc but with irl or video game situations
Be the change, friend. I support you.
Hikaru saying it's a good meme feels so wholesome, I feel good for the people on the receiving end
Spoon: Cutlery speaks for itself
The prophecy is true. How can we be so blind.
I like how he's just
Hikaru: Oh yeah, I've seen this one *proceeds to upvote*
as a -3 elo player, I can verify that that spoon piece is a pain in the ass
Especially when it mates you
Why does he feel like a dad watching his kids draw in kindergarten and reassuring them that they’re doing a good job
This aged well...
The only piece designed specifically for the back-rank.
- Who are you warrior?
- Im stealthy asSasin, Fear me, I am always behind your back.
Imagine if Hans Neimann promoted his pawn to that against Magnus
That piece is used for the most painful kind of back rank matting.
"AND HIS JACKET IS ON, BTW" that's so funny, I can't believe the commentators said that HAHAHA
4:55 was really good
spoon the type of piece to find the hole in your backline defense and wreak havoc
"Openings don't matter" is how I learned more openings. Sometimes I'll just play a random move or variant line in the opening and run with it.
See I was getting a little bored with my same old lines ... and then I started to see I was actually doing book openings, which greatly expanded my opening repertoire and agility in the opening.
So this was probably the best advice
11:48 That's Indian film star ⭐ Ranveer singh doing and advertisement of a Inner wear brand "Frontline"
This hits different now
RIGHT!!!
10:40
Yea... still waiting for the new piece to be released
I bet people in the chat fell out of their chairs when he said spoon
Spoon: This piece can attack, but it cannot mate
I can’t wait to see the memes about the “spoon” xD
1:02 He did say hi at the end.
I guess the person who made it only saw the start and not the end.
It's good to see savvy sense of humor taking part in the chess world 😂😂😂
The "spoon" after taking the queen in the back-file:
The spoon is used when the king's gone/got checkmated
king's about to get back ranked
The queen be sweatin real hard hoping that "it" doesnt snitch
Spoon in the end: "Where is my juicer"?
At some times I forget that Hilary was watching I thought this was a normal compilation video
Hikaru clearly isn't cheating with any objects up certain places in his chess matches
The spoon is very effective against the queen 💀
5:11 "ROAD ROLLER!!" LOL
The bluffing quality is out of this world
Do not try and bend the spoon that's impossible. Instead realize the truth, there is no spoon.
This thumbnail is like an every omen of current events lmao, beads and plugs ftw
*"Your queen's little toy"*
The buttplug meme was sent from the future.
HANS STUDIED THIS VIDEO VERY WELL.
Hikaru's reddit reacts is among the top 3 series all throughout the realms of youtube.
Will be asking Hikaru to sign my spoon next time.
I love how Magnus respected her so much he said “if I win” and not “when I win”
So that’s what Niemann was using
The Spoon is the most powerful piece because it mates the most
Watching this while the Hans drama is going on is priceless.
01:08 my brother in Christ you were there, you did it, of course you've seen it
Nakamura's calculation skills are beyond reason now. he could see Cheat in 2 months
Hans niemann played the spoon opening on that infamous day against magnus.
5:02 The boys when you say that Doom is a boring game
10:04 Not only he can see checkmates in 3842924, he can use that sight in real life too
It moves like a queen, but it can only capture pieces next to it. When it captures a piece, it doesn't take over the piece's square, but remains on the square it already stood on.
Not capture, pin
