Oh good yeah I was actually wondering about that like so I get it ok everyone hates him or makes endless jokes about him and trolls him and everything else perhaps some even much of it deserved, some not deserved, but bottom line he is a legit former champ and elute Grandmaster no so all bs and nonsense aside is he formidable still and a very good player who can challenge these guys still or no? so glad to hear he could.
I feel Kramnik`s pain here 11:21 Every chessplayer knows the horrible feeling sinking even if he is 1600 amateur club player . I bet he saw blunder even before Hikaru played Be8+ but what can you do , you cant take it back... Here Kramnik continued probably only because of bad time trouble for both players, but black position was completely hopeless.
I've been in talks with prosecution about the penalties for using the unsettling double eye/mouth Hikaru meme, and im sorry to say its looking pretty dire for you.
It's impossible for Kramnik to quit smocking, too many stresses. On the one side he has to face Hikaru and Danya in TT, on the other side he must be aware of Epic Chess' videos.
Hikaru is player who can come out of any bad situation and come up with surprising wins. If we look at this game kramnik enjoyed so much advantage. Still I don't know why he kept those two black pawns in a column( I am talking about the move shown at time 7.18). He was a world champion and i am not qualified to talk about it. In chess it is difficult to understand things. Sometimes we feel capturing material is a better strategy. A champion is not someone who does extraordinary things in everygame. Champions main strength is consistency and they make less mistakes.
I was genuinely focused on the game, had recovered from the initial breath-depriving laughter, and then all out of the blue: Kramink's chess club edit. Lost it. Glad he lost, match was great, but slandering people isn't. And Hikaru's a legend. Another awesome vid, thanks so much!
Well too clearly an obvious Blunder from Kramnik he could’nt accused Hikaru of cheating Stockfish wasn’t necessary to spot that skewer . Nice game of course being an ex world champ Kramnik still has skills 50 whatever is not that old I think it’s true a lot of older GMs make way for the younger players the younger have more enthusiasm stamina pep etc but mentally I don’t think younger GMs are necessarily sharper than an older GM that keeps up say like Ivanchuk . But ok James thanks Cool Video and refreshing Gukesh Ding with the draws has really lulled us all . Hope there’s fireworks game 10
@@mauijttewaal From ChatGPT You said: What is Volodya? ChatGPT said: ChatGPT "Volodya" is a diminutive or affectionate form of the Russian and Ukrainian name Vladimir (Владимир in Russian, Володимир in Ukrainian).
James, I have reached the conclusion that _NO_ well-known chess General Manager is safe from your hilarity, on this channel. Vishy Anand's _"mushrooms"_ is now a random subliminal-like insert, FFS. LOL
After seeing this game vs Hikaru I'm starting to give his accusations some credibility... No way anyone under 2700 is holding a candle to this guy without assistance...
I think every chess player now knows how to use an engine to evaluate a game so no need for that in your videos unless you can squeeze it in and make it interesting at the same time, otherwise it’s just boring and annoying. Just show us the games of those GMs. Unless you have a higher ELO then I’ll start listening to your move alternatives.
i’m so sorry I didn’t mean it to be personal. I realized now it came off absolutely wrong that’s why I’m not gonna remove it to show you this is an honest take. Perhaps it’s because there’s a whole bunch of chess youtubers now who do the same thing so it’s becoming redundant and borderline annoying. I just hate it when the pieces are moved to show the alternative moves. Unless your channel is coaching chess, then don’t do it. Hoping there’s a constructive point in there somewhere coz i know it’s a long comment and imma stop here.
Yeah well at least they don't mutilate their kids with trans kids nonsense- to use a random example-, and still have some of the best athletes in the world across multiple sports.

1st rule of Kramnik club: You do not question the procedure
Do not question Putin too. That's the Russian mindset.
Rule 1
Do not beat Kramnik- if you do, it means you are cheating 😂
Wow, that was amazing 😂
2 ND rule of Kramnick club: You Don't TALK about the Kramnick club.
"Vlad the Implier"
Classic.
That is brilliant!
That was incredible 😂
right?? too good 😂
Instant classic.
12:05 Vlad the Inhaler
1:05 "Both of them now crossing swords, not advised in Church with the bishops" 💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🔥
Normies: “why do you like chess youtube”
*shows first 10 seconds of epic cheese
haha thanks
Vlad the Implier is fucking hilarious
Kramnik fractured into a million memes . The internet is savage.
Kramnik strategy and game understanding is superior still, but short time formats doesn't fit him well, so start the procedure 😂😂
Nicely played by both. Brad Kramnik was fun, but for me your genko bambit spoonerism was great. Thanks James.
I actually didn't know that Kramnik was still that good. All I hear is the accusations from him, and so it was good to see some great play here!
Yeah, he beat Kasparov for wcc title
mushrooms

@@danielhicks4826 Kramnik would massacre Danya OTB. He could still lose to Hikaru but not much.
@@kristof80ableI think kramnik would beat danya in blitz but not massacre him. Danya would scrape off some wins in time pressure
Crossing swords with bishops is an image I never thought I’d have in my head…

that is creepy isnt it
haha :O
"competing against the world's best Glamour Models" that's beautiful, man
😄😆
imagine owning all 4 of those girls just because you cheat at chess lol
Wonder how much you "pre-script" before recording.. Soo good!!! No. 1 "live" commentator!
The mad man said "Genko Bambit" like it was nothing.
@@adamvs95 😂👍
haha thanks yeah defo do in my head and rehearse
That intro hook was gold. Epic DJ!
😁😆
intro is fire 🔥
Love your channel James! Great analysis with humor in around 10 minutes. 20-30 minutes of other channels too long for me.
thanks a lot!
"Ninety a lot, all is clear here."
Absolute banger of a commentary! Loved every minute of it.
Thanks very much Paul glad you enjoyed!
It's impossible for Kramnik to quit smocking, too many stresses. On the one side he has to face Hikaru and Danya in TT, on the other side he must be aware of Epic Chess' videos.
block block block this is first vot I do..... heheheh another Vladimir is probably saying "nuke nuke nuke this is first vot I do"
yeah. both of them have same result since nobody cares anymore
I love it when Andrea spins the beats!
Kramnik has an Elon rating l of a complex number divided by cheese
Rook literally next to the queen: "Kramnik spots it" 😂
Rh5. I honestly don't know if I should pity him. You can't call every chess player on the planet a cheat then play Rh5.
I never miss my Epic dose!
nothing is better than seeing Kram is driven nuts and nobody is better at that than Naka
The effort that has gone into this video is insane, like all your other videos, truly Epic Chess!
thanks a lot appreciate it! Yeah some more than others haha depends how much time I have on the day etc (and energy!) Thanks for watching
tbf if i lost to Hikaru like that i would be telling my grandkids about it.
I love u epoch cheese man
haha thanks a lot
It’s as if Kramnik never wins
Brutal. On so many levels.

at 8:51 doesn't Knight to e3 win whites rook on the next move??? What am I missing?
you might be right forget details sorry!
Nice new setup maye
I wondered why i was so shit at premoving.. it's because i object ethically!!!!
Awesome commentary love it ❤
Glad you enjoyed thanks a lot!
Vlad the Implier is superb.
Epic chess has the most LOTR references on youtube, and that is an encouraging thought.
Haha love it that is my favourite scene of whole trilogy
@@epicchess2021 What about a shortcut to mushrooms?
1:15 what's a "c prawn" lol
He didn't go for the procedure this time? Strange
Even with the lost, Kramnik was better than Hikaru 80% of the match.
Vlad should focus more on chess rather than Twitter wars😂
6:38 is hikaru after qf6? Help
What? 😂
Whoa, trippy intro. Head spinning, rethinking my youtube vid choices. Suck it up. Soldier on. I can hack it!!!!
But, eh. Not your best effort.
Not advised in church with the bishops😂
Lovely game and commentary!
Is Kramnik cheating? His accuracy is too high
At this point I literally wouldn't be surprised that he got so paranoid he started cheating himself:D
Just FYI: Vlad is short for Vladislav. Volodya is short for Vladimir. But it's fine. Volodya The Implier doesn't sound so cool :)
Volodya is short???

haha yeah!
Phu..what a move..:)
Vlad the implier sent me😂
Wonderfully done.
Vlad the Implier!!! Amazing!
Hicario Gandalmuro, the great Spanish Inquisitor
Hiccuping Gurgles
Dad bod Hikaru vs Bot dad Kramnik
haha
Cheataru Hackamura 😮
People like to make fun of Kramnik now, and rightfully so, I totally get it, but he's still a hell of a chess player
yeah!
Mushroom, mushroom, mushroom😂
impressive game by hikaru
It’s clear to me. I block and report .
0:44 most paused moment
pfffouh waht a game... what a game
Vlad the impeller 🤣
Vad the Implier 🤣
But its saturday
anyone know the intro song?
even I don't just some random house one I found on my editor forgot what it's called sorry!
Vlad the implier 😂
what a fantastic game indeed!
Really good review… kramnik should get some exercise he has man boops..
Mushrooms 🕺🎶
What happened buddy
You are the king of the memes
haha thanks someone helping me too XD
As long as you maintain the center you CRUSH the white's minor pieces :D Fantastic video as usual

if he does not like cheats, he may have lost it, and gone random, but please on some level is not the enemy here
your vid is getting out of control a little bit.
After seeing this game vs Hikaru I'm starting to give his accusations some credibility... No way anyone under 2700 is holding a candle to this guy without assistance...
“Vlad the Implier” is an oooooold meme, and from 4chan no less. Lol. Respect
Glamour Models!!
weird perf intro
Cheating Tuesday lmao
Did Kramnik accuse Hikaru of cheating? Just asking.
Many times previously certainly !
Kramnik is too old to compete at this level.
Same as Putin with his SMO.
Lol, That old guy is 3000 without premovin and mouse skills. He would massacre Naroditsky in blitz otb.

Kramnik is a classic Russian. Huge EGO, no fairplay, become aggressive and accuse other to cheat when they loose.
Yeah well at least they don't mutilate their kids with trans kids nonsense- to use a random example-, and still have some of the best athletes in the world across multiple sports.
OD on the memes bruh, but Andrea is something else
First "Start the procedure" comment
Ve must do procedure
Golden!
Iconic

This channel is just bullshit and memes. Don't take it so seriously.
Bro it’s epic cheese if you’ve been a fan or watch you don’t let anything stun you just go with the flow
I get all my breaking cheese from epic newz
Nah, this is great mate
It is an accurate use of Breaking. Breaking just means really recent news, it doesn't have to be important
gg
Had Krmanin his procedure for this game ?
