This was unironically such a good video time flew by like it was nothing.
Yeah. I'm sure chess is very hype if you know how it works, but Ludwig managed to make this such an entertaining story, even for someone like me, who doesn't know anything about chess.
jeez you made me look at how long this video was, i thought it couldnt've been more than 20 minutes
Ethiopiop M.P. I did the same exact thing lol
Ethiopiop M.P. same man, i didn’t even know it was this long, i was so surprised once i saw it was 47 mins
Literally. I was 30 minutes in when I checked I how long the video was and it felt like 15 minutes
So is this that Queen's Gambit show everyone's been talking about?
Yes
Oh no this one is the botez gambit show
No it is the botez gambit

This entire video feels like a heist movie, where he takes us move by move through the biggest scam we've seen in modern chess history
mogul moves
ludwig was the great pretender after all
Finally this scam has been usurped, introducing Hans Neimann.
5:35 someone in chat says: "i bet this is 5:37 in youtube time"
Ludwig is so predictable
How would one predict that lol
@@mikeyfreeman6803 when he starts doing an intro for youtube
@timbee nope, if you check his twitter he didnt notice it until the video was up, insane coincidence.
@@mikeyfreeman6803 RUclips voice and the intro
we share the same name :)
Wtf I didn’t even realize how long this video was, I was so enveloped in the storytelling.

unironic isn’t a word
@@gtrampflips5035 What makes a "valid word"? whether it's used and understood. It's in most dictionaries (and most people will understand what it means) so it's valid

Jesus Lud is so good at telling stories. Actually super engaging, it’s unreal. How does he even do that I need to know
His charisma is maxed out
Infunsionist The pink hoodie of PogChamps provides +15 charisma
He majored in English so he knows great ways to put sentences together :P Helps to be charismatic
its the charisma and also he does a great job queuing up the music to add to the effect. Gives you another level of immersion.

The time is 2.10 AM and I'm scrolling through youtube for some short and chill video to watch and then go to sleep after it. Little did I know that youtube recommendations hurls this masterpiece of a video at my way and I start watching it and suddenly it's 3AM and I enjoyed every second of the time I did not realise had passed. Thank you Lud. Just subscribed.
This saved me from doing this.
@@telly9072 Happy to help. Even though it was not a mistake by anymeans
Lol same for me, but he entertains so good
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
its 2:10 for me as i read this
The musical timing in this video is absolutely masterful. The entire video feels like a locker room speech.
This is probably the greatest video Ludwig has ever made. He's an amazing storyteller, and you can tell he's been getting better at it over the last few months. This is his magnum opus.
Factual definitely agree
Check out his Pokémon tournament video I think it was perhaps on par or even better! As well as his poker wins, those I always come back to every few months
@@zayk7095 i agree
@@zayk7095 TRUE the poker streams are just a classic that I can always fall back on. Also pokemon is the best story telling, most hype recounting of an event ever
pokemon vid
As someone in the chat already said. He's a gifted storyteller
he is
I was literally thinking the same thing. He had me on edge the whole vid.
I agree. He could've just said that chess.com went down and viewers shifted to him *in a 5 min video*
@@otto7848 whats the fun in that
@@PerfectMo you're funny
This is honestly one of the best youtube videos I have ever watched. This genuinely seems like you wrote this like a story with clear conflicts and perfect resolutions. I don't know if this was all your editors work or if you had some part in this, but i'd like to give whoever made this an oscar.
The tournament arc of this anime is really intense. Usually the MC just tries their best and brute forces through it, but here we had an entire strategy outside of the actual game. They say history is written by the victors, but in this case it was written by Ludwig.
This was unironically a very uplifting story that highlights personal achievement regardless of skill level and persisting to your goal and even if you don't reach it you persist still to the next opportunity. Sure this is a chess thing but I'm gennuinely inspired atm by having watched this all the way through. Great effort Lud, I'm glad you've seen a new peak and are excited to find the next one.
I know right. I was motivated throughout the whole video😂
Bramblestar5 Ludwig alt account confirmed
@@richardmoshenski-dubov8200 nah bro, just another person inspired by this amazing story
the fact that i didn't even realize this video was 40+ minutes long and I was already at 37 minutes until I read this comment
Alternate title, "How I intentionally Committed Arson in Arizona for Twitch Viewers"
Correction: How I ACCIDENTALLY intentionally commited arson in Arizon for twitch viewers
"for the first time ever, I feel like I'm a streamer that people know about" and now not even 10 months later he's the most subbed to streamer of all time :')
ludwig7
i couldnt hold myself anymore when he pulled out the classic Dvoretskys Endgame book hahhahahaha . 18:10
Ludwig: becomes a father
His new video: “How I accidentally left my son”
"How I accidentally pushed Qt down the stairs"

26:23 is one of my all time favorite lud quotes
Same, I came back just for that
"You better not spread your cheeks to moist critical's thhhrrrrrooobin *o*k... or else I'm coming..."
Hold on homie... pause...
Coming back to this years later, it's probably the most pivotal moment in lud's streaming career
subathon?
@@thatguy12332 of course that was huge, but I feel like this is what really put lud on the map. The subathon is what took him to the moon. You gotta walk before you can fly
Ludwig says “accidentally” but definitely planned this out for months
slime lit the fire
He was probably off stream saying to himself
“THE PLAN IS SIMPLE”
No but becoming the biggest was pure dumb luck. If Chess.com hadn’t gone down, or hosted someone else, he wouldn’t be the biggest chess streamer
He was just in the right place at the right time
hmmm.. ludwig a pyro?
Here while the title is still "How I accidentally became the biggest chess streamer of all time"

"I'm a streamer! I've never gotten up before noon ever!"
lol hikaru's stream schedule is really early in the morning since his viewers come from across india and russia
anyone else watch till 47:27
F*ck no, I ain't watching that long
@@brucewayne2184 its just the length of the video. every bit of the video was not just equally but more engaging as it went on.
47 minutes. thats one thirtieth of your day. i imagine you spent around 9 hours sleeping. so what the heck are you doing instead?
Holy shit, i can't believe I watched all of this video
yeah
@@Tyler-bp4md its bruce wayne he fights crime on a 9 to 5 daily basis
I only watched parts of this tournament, it's fun to get your whole story
I had no idea what he was talking about
At 5:36 a dude guesses that the RUclips video is at 5:37 and damn was he close
Damn that's impressive how close he was
I think the editor might have timed it on purpose
@@lujee-8908 On the editors twitter, he posted that he didn't see it 2 hours after it was uploaded
holy shit that's actually impressive
I’m late but it was actually spot on there are frames where his chat is on screen and yt says 5:37
Hikaru after the, "who gave him the latvian gambit advice?"--12:25, o_O
I’m a bit late to the party here but I can confidently say this was in my top 5 of favorite RUclips videos I’ve ever watched. Your storytelling is unmatched, you were eloquent and masterful in the analysis of your games and in your recalling of every event down to a T, there was humor and heartbreak and conflict and flashbacks throughout the entire thing, and there was even an important moral to the entire story: keep trying even in failure and take any victories, no matter how small, when you can. The music playing in every segment of the video fit perfectly every time as well. The last few minutes of the video were actually a little tear-inducing because of your beautiful wrap-up and takeaways from the event as well as your optimism about both the event and the future of the community. I’m shocked at how the clock seemed to go from 11 PM to 12 AM during a video that felt so much shorter. Both Ludwig and whoever edited this video should be extremely proud of themselves.
(I swear this video also cured my migraine.)
TL;DR the real chess victory is the friends we made along the way
No, the real chess victory was the 100 gifted subs
@@vixenow1674 ikr I was so happy when he beat him
When are we getting the pink hoodies, lud?
We already have them if you wash them right
It's a very 200iq thing to do
That used to be a red hoodie
He said in the summer season so soon
It’s crazy that how Hans is in massive drama with Magnus and yet just two years ago he was coaching Ludwig😅
Ludwig is one of the only RUclipsrs who can make me sit still and actually pay attention to a video for 40+ minutes.
Damn this man has a gift for this stuff I just sat here for 47 minutes hearing about a chess competition, of all things, and enjoyed every second of it. I'm just a youtube frog tho I've seen his videos for months and based on the clips of how youtube frogs get treated I don't go to his streams but damn he is such a great content creator and will keep watching all of his youtube videos daily.
The storytelling and timing with music turned this from "im watching a recap of what i saw" to "this a good ass story"
"She blew me off the whole entire event"
No wonder you weren't focused
Lmao
Yo wtf,
The editor absolutely nailed it with the soundtrack!
Absolute legend of a story!
God bless
There's a face that flashes up at 24:21, wtf is this for?
@@estherross4808 Thats a thumbnail for a song, because lud plays the music live on stream
That one guy in chat "Heat wave in Norway, can't sleep" relatable

09:49 THE PASSION IN THIS MANS VOICE! and that sudden realization is just too good man...
5 months later, he is playing among us and Minecraft with everyone.
Ludwig's content goes through anime arcs. This was literally a tournament arc
11:05 when Lud is talking in time with the music that was pretty neato
Lud’s such a great storyteller me with my adhd with literal no interest in chess engaged in a 40 min vid getting shivers at certain times proves it
This dude is such a storyteller, love him
Ludwig never ceases to impress with his storytelling skills
Ooh rough this dude named "chess" has him beat by 23k. Yikes Lud, clickbait much?
Hey we have the same name
"count what you have now"
@@hamsnadwich6767 hey WE have the same name
Eli Patterson we don’t have the same name!
waiting for another goner so i can do the joke
“With the subject line, urine” - Ludwig
The fact that Hans neiman was his coach for the final match is insane
Shake killed it with the editing on this video, had a blast watching it
40:59 The JoJo could not physically synce up any better. This is the power of Requiem.
Ludwig: "How I accidentally became the biggest chess streamer of all time".
Antonio: "Hold my beer."
You are both great chess streamers. Thumbs up to you both.
Ah, it's finally here; been eagerly waiting for this one. It was a fun ride, truly. You earned yourself many new fans, myself included. So, with all due respect, Ludwig, I congratulate you on an awesome show and performance. Keep being awesome, man.
Btw. can't wait for PogChamps 2, or whatever is coming up. :)
Pogchamps 3 HYPE
This was a rollercoaster of emotions...from hype about a scam, to hype about your skills, to doubt that you could close it, to inspired by your journey.
It's not even about viewers, name recognition or an "inner circle". It's about respect as a content creator. And in my opinion, there's nobody better.
Props to the journey that led you here and excited for the journey ahead.

At 5:33 someone in chat says "I bet this is 5:37 RUclips time" and that guy was spot on wtf
Uhhh yeah that is weird wtf
Edit: his comment is still partially visible at 5:37 so he was exactly right
A better time stamp is 5:35
Blue 7119 or 5:36
That's crazy lol, especially with stream delay and shit
Maybe it was a time traveler revealing him/herself :O
I tried to solve the puzzle for a good 10 minutes not being able to figure it out just for it to be nearly impossible 💀
Watching in December 2022 when Hans is a cheater
And I thought he escaped the “accidentally” joke
how i accidentally got back into the accidentally joke
Maybe I’m just too high but this video lowkey inspirational asf.
This chess tournement brought me to your channel, i have been benging the youtube content and the twitch streams, i'm glad you entered the tournement ! New fan among a lot of new ones i'm sure
This is unironically one of the best video the Ludwig has made, shout out to the editor too and this really shows how influential music can be in speeches.
Ludwig Looks Like One Of Those "i am not a weeb" weeb
He is
That's actually true because he is
AYAYA Pog
Aka I'm not a "virgin" virgin
Thats called a closeted weeb
Damn, genuinely cried a little at that ending. That was some MAJOR anime storytelling.
This is the greatest emotional rollercoaster I've ever been on , never before have I been so invested in a final battle!
Song at 23:07 is We're Finally Landing by Home
The intro is gonna make no sense once Lud changes the title
ludwig is genuinely so good at story telling, it's amazing
I was there for most of it but these vids help fill me in. Great vid and that mate in 2 speech got me dying
Props to Ludwig for making a 47 minute video on chess that was so much fun to watch. I somehow found this one year later and I am happy that I did :)
5:36 Bluejay was so close. Thought it was 5:37 in RUclips time lmao actually a prophet
This is like a double edged sword video.
In one hand: biggest chest streamer
The other hand: lost the biggest chess match in twitch history.
i dont play chess or even watch it, but this was such an emotional rollercoaster. holy
ludwig and editor-san make these kinds of videos sooo hype
I watched this 2 minutes after it came out and I have to say it might be the best put together and entertaining stream video on RUclips that I’ve seen. Bravo Lud and Polite
Loving these longer videos we've been getting in quarantine, it's fun to get some more Ludwig content
37:04 This was neither a caro khan nor a gambit
I kept putting this video back but I finally watched it and the story telling was fantastic
That speech at the end tho, you're unironically an inspiration Lud ggs man
Honestly one of my favorite videos you’ve made. Love the underdog stories!
I didnt know ludwig liked chess. I enjoyed the vid cause i just got into chess like 2days ago plus ludwig's voice and storytelling really just never bores u lol
Ludwig was just playing the ‘Botez Gambit Declined’ he obviously saw that his opponent’s queen was hanging
Today I found out that 29th May is officially “Put a Pillow in Your Fridge Day” mark it next year!
why? is it statutory
that's my birthday
its put a pillow ON your fridge not in
@@nerdnugget3492 no that's put a pillow on your fridge day
Just discovered your stream/yt last week and I just wanna say what a fun, engaging streamer you are, man. Keep it up!🤟🏼
This video was so entertaining. You let us through the whole journey without it getting boring. Inspirational
i have rewatched this several times and it just keeps getting better.
45:05 "watashi no uso" fits perfect there, great music choice
Actually very inspirational for me personally for some reason.
This is the exact video I listened to at work when I was cleaning and got me into you. This is the EXACT video that popped up and I was introduced to.
14:57 I love how the chat starts dancing to the music
I swear PogChamps was just a contest to see who would blunder less XD
That's not even a joke, that’s the same a normal chess
Nobody:
Ludwig: HoW I AcCiDeNtAlLy BeCaMe TaLl
This was one of the best videos by Lud. I think the whole thing felt like a movie.
his timing with the music is so incredible
“How I accidentally posted a youtube video before midnight”
If Ludwig can turn a story about entering and playing in a chess tournament into something this hype, what can’t he do?
Wow, this was unironically one of the best videos I have seen in a while. It really was great
I’ve rewatched this vid like 5 times while playing smash listing to it in the background
