    23:17 is the reason why Hikaru is such a gift to the chess community. Levi has an pompous and pretentious reaction to the move and forgets to factor in that the majority of these people haven't dedicated their lives to the game. Chess is such an intimidating game to get into in the first place because of the condescending nature of people that are good at the game. Hikaru simply replies with "It's chess." His reaction and how he treats others who play the game warms my heart.
