*It is because when you look at some of the top players in Chess when they became grandmasters, they were still teenagers. Chess is one such sport where a lot of the prodigies become grandmaster when they are very young, like between the age of 10 to 16. So, 23 is not young when it comes to the sport of chess.*
Humility ? She totally backed handed him by calling him "23 ? That is still called young at Singapore" She was doing this jabbing at him the whole game. She's damn bitchy.
The intuition is strong with this one. She mentioned him being a grandmaster before they even started. Then just a few moves in said "you're one of them right" referring to them talking about grandmasters in Singapore.
I'd love to see these streamers play the occasional classical tournament like Anna Crambling did instead of constant blitz. It allows us to get a really thorough analysis on how they saw the game as it developed. Anna's analysis of her games, in addition to her mother's thoughts were amazing.
Classical games usually require a ton of preparation, that's why a lot of people do not want to do those. Viewers usually find them less interesting, because they're slow in live games and need to be analyzed afterwards in order to be interesting for the common viewer, which is even more invested time. Also classical games take very long so you'll get less content out of any given time. I think that's mostly why not a lot of youtubers do them. It's not like they have much time with how rigorous video release schedules need to be in order to retain viewership on youtube.
I don't think they require a ton of preparation, particularly not for the majority of these streamers. Some of them are barely at 2200 level, others are even lower than that. At that level, they are playing in mainly swisses anyway, so there's not a lot of preparation that they can do. I beg to differ about viewers finding classical games less interesting. People who play chess seriously (e.g. not just online chess) get a lot out of classical games where they can see and learn changes from the middlegame to the endgame. You don't see that in blitz and bullet. It's all about simple threats and counter-threats, and in some cases, premoves. Of course you can get more content in bullet and blitz, but how often do you see these streamers take the time to analyze these games thoroughly. I can watch a full day worth of strong classical games like in the FIDE world cup. But give me blitz or bullet for 30 minutes and I lose interest because often the opening lines are faulty, and meant to "trick" the other player, or it just seems to all be about the quickness of the moves. I remember following Anna's mom, Pia's analysis. It was amazingly deep information. Even Anna's moves had more invested in them than the way she plays during quick chess streaming. I liked the fact that she took the opportunity to play classical games, and let the spectators see her as more of a serious chess player.
@@AlexanderNevermind888 There have been multiple RUclipsrs, among them Gothamchess and Eric Rosen, who have stated on stream that ANY classical games they play require a lot more preparation and Levy once started training for his GM norms and said, this specifically is beyond him to accomplish simply in time needed for preparation parallel to his usual content updates. So I am somewhat confident in them needing way more time to prepare for classical games. Also, if you really want to learn and analyze classical games, why not turn to the best out there who play tons of classical games, the top GMs? While i think it can be very entertaining to see your beloved RUclipsr analyze these games and explain their way of thinking in that it allows a more personal approach to their way of thinking and personalities, chess-wise it should not be as interesting as top games by top players. Also, while there might be the odd 5% or less viewership that play chess seriously, most viewers will watch these games for entertainment first and chess analysis second - at least in my estimation. And for those classical games are just not as relevant. I'm pretty sure if classical games were about as much preparation and would retain about as much viewership as all these others, chess RUclipsrs would do many more videos in that category, but usually all you find is RUclipsrs analysing top games by top GMs, rarely their own (Eric Rosen is the biggest outlier i can think of there).
@@AlexanderNevermind888I fully agree with everything except the preperation Part, most players around that Level, especially if they havent played for some time have to invest time into preperation or dont feel good without it at least
@@sackfoga3779 You're right. Of course, they definitely have to put some time into prep, but I don't think it requires much more time than the average master puts in. In the recent women's US championship, a lot of those girls/women were still in school and taking classes each day, yet prepped enough during their off time to play some decent classical chess. Even watching the games, I could see the difference between their classical play and the spontaneous moves we see when they play those blitz tournaments.

I'm just a beginner. At 4:00, would white queen to H4 be a better move? Covers the pawn at F4, but also adds the much needed 4th protection to E4 if pawns end up trading by either player? I feel like that was the big turning point. Before this, they were pretty even.

"They still call that young in Singapore" yes and everywhere else except in the 1800's
When you encounter the final boss in the wild.
Not a simp. This guy is an absolute chad and a gentleman.
I like how the chat started pepe laughing after realizing who he is 😂
He totally concentrated on the game.
Ya, with her looking cute like that would distract the hell outta me.
Kinda unfair really. Chess should play in the dark. Lol who am i kidding, i wouldn't want chess played in the dark either. Ladies love to dress up and we guys appreciate and adore them for it.
Her reaction at the end is priceless.
What was the best move for white at 5:40 ? Qh4 was a blunder, obviously. But what shall be played?
Take knight with horse
That was super fun to watch hahahaha, and you did REALLY well actually (especially on the second game!)
I just know “the strongest player in Singapore” means so much more than I will ever understand.
Rizzed her up with his rating
Dont even try 💀
You tooked well Nemo,nice games against a GM you played pretty good.Good video GG!
i love how quiet it got after she threw some shade hehe 23 is young in singapore lol
chat on screen made the video much better 😎
the way he touches the clock lol so gentle
ahaha i notice too amd how she smashed the clock in cute feminine way,
@@ericastier1646is this sarcasm
@@Aesthetic_purple_Neon it is
This 25 years old has 2570 FIDE! WoW!
Hes 22
When did chess turn into an anime "are you the strongest in Singapore?" Love it
bros' 22 yo and already a GM.
22 yo me right now: *cries in the corner*
They come much younger than that.
What a humble chess player. I believe his elo rating will be more than 2650 one day.
I believe he will find a job and quit chess
@@shannonbruce5150playing chess is his job
Why is he humble lmao?
@@felipemurta9160 tbh, its better than being like chess hustlers and bragging about stuff
@@dawnspecter You're comparing apples with oranges.
He's so good, he made it look like she had only just learned how the pieces move! lol
Exactly especially for me who is not an active chessplayer but can look 1-2 moves ahead only he made her look like a beginner embarrassed by her blunders (when it was not blunders).
It's nice to see two "mature" young talents mutually enjoyed the competition.
How old is she
She got a little suspicious when he started off with Black and "I'll tell you later"(about my rating). Oh, age? don't really know.@@mz51092
As a poker player it's interesting she didn't want the 'free pawn' without knowing why because she 'saw what he did last game'. In other words, he can freely make mistakes through sheer fear of what he is up to, this happens a lot in poker haha.
True story... btw in this case I think taking the pawn would result in the black bishop trapped after the move b3
That pawn on a2 I think was poison, and as was mentioned, the Bishop on a2 would end up getting trapped by b3
It's just banter ... she knew it wasn't free.
Eventhough he is GM he speaks with respect and not rude he actually looks like a simple chess player
I have never seen such a humble guy before
nice to see, maybe the world is changing for the better
yup
You haven't been around much.
@@cryptohalloffame lol its just not egotistical like western culture
@@JimBalter I'm the world's least naive person, trust me on that, just commenting (somewhat subtly) that since it's a younger person, maybe their particular generation is waking up to the bigger world beyond the phone...
When he said 2570, the girl was literally ready to open her mouth and give him the slurp slurp
I spent the first 10 minutes of the vid thinking _she_ was the secret grandmaster & was gonna pull an uno reverse card on him in the 2nd round. But then he pulled an uno reverse card on me 😆
He eliminating dark horse in the world cup, congratulations 👏👏
Look at those opening pieces setup 😮 bro goes full engine move
I'm just a beginner. At 4:00, would white queen to H4 be a better move? Covers the pawn at F4, but also adds the much needed 4th protection to E4 if pawns end up trading by either player? I feel like that was the big turning point. Before this, they were pretty even.
The knight is under attack by the pawn, so you would just be hanging the knight if you move the queen
I mean he literally told u “he is one of the upcoming stars of Singapore”😂
4:33 great minds not only think alike but subtle movements as well ^^
Bro is so humble.
Love Singaporeans, reminds me of the TikTok CEO.
OMG such amazing young kids. I Love watching them and how great they are!
