Chess GMs should do “adopt a gamer” where they pick some video game streamers, coach them for a month, and then have them play a match against each other
hikaru said he was a fan of xqc, xqc knows who hikaru is and that he is a streamer, and xqc had been playing chess. Given those things it wasn't unexpected.
Hikaru's getting plenty back in viewership and exposure haha, Twitch is allllll about who you know unless you're doing something really original and unique
Yeah, are you kidding me? Hikaru is the lucky one. He's getting exposure to 1000's of viewers by one of the top Twitch streamers like xQc and Rekful. He will get more viewership from them, by far. They both make hundreds of thousands of dollars streaming.

This was the best thing that happened in Twitch in a long time. one of the most unexpected collabs, by two of my heros from what I once thought were completely opposite worlds.
Naka about a 2900 player who misses the best move in a complicated endgame: "Oh my god he is so bad. How am I losing to this?" Naka to xQc when he develops a piece: "Wow! You found the best move!"
Vinayak Jadhav A good player trash talking someone who is not competition makes them look weaker. You thinking that he would trash talk him is showing who you are. You don't trash talk someone you know is worse. It's dumb. You're literally saying you winning was expected. Where as if you do bad. You show you suck. You need to understand a novice versus an idiot. And you're just an asshole, who trash talks to feel better.
@@VinIchiban , A players character is define by how he treat weaker players. Everyone respect stronger players and very few respect encourage weaker one.
Felix's chat was wall to wall "AT Y OMEGALUL UR LEVEL PepeLaugh" every time Hikaru would say "at your level" so if you see Felix cracking up it was probably because of that.
According to heavyweight analysis softwares such as Stockfish, White has a very, very slight advantage at the beginning of the game, due to the fact that whoever plays it gets to go first. White is currently, and has been for centuries, meta. Somebody please nerf

29:38 hikaru thought xqc would take the pawn but the game stopped him from making the wrong move 💀 hikaru’s face was absolutely hilarious when xqc finally realized he could take the queen
Reasonably good intro for how to play chess. I usually watch Hikaru's videos as tactics trainers. As he and opponent are making moves, ask "why did they do that". Starting from absolute basics (don't blunder your pieces) is a good idea. He also mentions major classes of tactics (pins and forks). There are a lot of good chess videos on youtube and this ranks as a decent chess lesson 1.
Masua90 there’s obviously other motivation, publicity being the main one. He’s going to reach some of XQCs viewers out of this. Hikaru has said in the past that twitch is a way to spread chess to more people. I’m just complimenting him on not being a dick about it. It would be incredibly easy for him to be condescending or think that this is just a waste of his time because he’s one of the top chess players in the world. He’s genuinely trying to help XQC out and it serves as a stepping stone for his viewers to start learning chess.
Erik Näslund Exactly! I’m 23 got into chess about a year ago because Agadmators video on game 3 of the 1972 WCC got recommended to me and for some random reason I clicked on it. I hadn’t played a game of chess since I was 8 years old (my dad and grandfather used to play on scouting trips). I was immediately hooked and through watching Hikaru, Antonio, Aman & Eric, Yasser, and Ben Finegold I’ve learned a lot. I went from only knowing how the pieces moved to 1820 on chess.com in the year since. It’s great RUclips and Twitch are around to support all of those guys sharing the game that they’ve devoted their lives to.
@@Masua90 I've done puzzle rush, but it's mainly been books, playing, and analyzing my games. I finished up my associates degree late last year and took a semester off to figure out what my next step will be so I had a lot of free time. I've been an avid reader most of my life so I'm used to taking in and processing a lot of different information and chess has just become another thing that I like to study. On average I've been playing about an hour or two a day and analyzing games about the same amount of time. I've also watched most of agadmators videos and took notes so I can look into/reference the concepts later. I'm just lucky to have the time and interest.
So learning the game from middle school, most people were very condescending. “That move is stupid”, etc. Seeing this makes me happy. A GM teaching a novice learner with such kind and accepting words with nothing but kindness. I cried seeing this. I wish I had someone like Hikaru teaching me. No frustration from Hikaru. Xqc is lucky.
@@Tom-101 Yeah. I thought that check could only apply to a king in the sense of the definition, but I suppose it technically means that something's just attacked. My bad!
I love how xQc says "of course" verbally declaring understanding of Naka's guidance but he has us all on the edge of the seat waiting because in the back of our minds we know he doesn't get it. Just waiting to see what he does is fantastic.
I imagine a alternate world where xqc wins against moist critical and say "I like to thank my teacher Hikaru and the wooden shield" Hikaru: *Leaves the room
As much as I don't really enjoy xQc's streams, I thought this stream was excellent. Apart from being a good reminder on basics, reaching out to larger audiences with chess is always a plus.
Because of this I started playing Chess online and also ordered a Chess set to play with my family Great game that I forgot to play for many years. Hope there will be a part 2!
Hey! Just wanted to let you know this definitely wasnt for nothing. I've always been slightly intrigued by chess but never got to play or understand it, but after this stream my interest was piqued and I've been playing it almost non stop for a week now! I absolutely suck at it rn but I'm having fun and wanted to thank you for this!
Wouldn’t it be ironic if he would have lost in more moves if he didn’t get coached? Well, I never watched any of xqc’s games so idk if he really learned anything at all
@@sykerblade5353 He probably would have lost in less moves if he wouldn't have been coached. I believe that xQc learned the scotch Opening by coaching and as far as i know the scotch prevents the popular mate in 4 (main line of the scholars mate), which is the reason xQc lost in 6 and not in 4 moves (xQc didn't play the main lines so cr1tikal needed to play a variation of the scholars mate). If he didn't play the scotch tho, he probably would hve lost in 4 moves
i really like your vibe man. very informative without making yourself sound superior or him stupid. very genuine, keep up the work learned tons of good information.
One good advice for the beginners, which wasn't mentioned in this one: If someone checks you, you should always watch, if that piece is actually guarded somehow. Sometimes beginners respects their opponents too much and they are not watching for the bluffs. Even if player's rating is above yours, they can still make stupid mistakes. Of course these can be traps also, but if you fall for it, you will learn from it.
Okay ur actually a cool dude - i watched alot of Carlson - and just saw ur facepalms and was thinking what a toxic dude. But now i must say pretty cool mate haha! Sub is here :-P
Hikaru I'm not gonna lie, but the way you're teaching him is super cool, and you're keeping the fun on the same pace like you didn't make him feel bored or something , you kept the atmosphere interesting ! really good job
@@hallucy2215 no he is not pretentious , he's just an intense guy that's not even holding back his excitement even by playing against a weakling player, and also a main part of teach is to keep things interesting and motivate the player

It’s great RUclips and Twitch are around to support all of those guys sharing the game that they’ve devoted their lives to.
@@Masua90 I've done puzzle rush, but it's mainly been books, playing, and analyzing my games. I finished up my associates degree late last year and took a semester off to figure out what my next step will be so I had a lot of free time. I've been an avid reader most of my life so I'm used to taking in and processing a lot of different information and chess has just become another thing that I like to study. On average I've been playing about an hour or two a day and analyzing games about the same amount of time. I've also watched most of agadmators videos and took notes so I can look into/reference the concepts later. I'm just lucky to have the time and interest.
@@Matthew_Troll Yeah that's really fast. Took me maybe 2 years to reach 1500 and then I plateaued and stopped.
i need an agadmator analysis on on of these games lol
i always need an agadmator analyisis on any game
holy shit thats so fucking true
Uh, he actually did one. lol

*THROBBING*
So learning the game from middle school, most people were very condescending. “That move is stupid”, etc. Seeing this makes me happy. A GM teaching a novice learner with such kind and accepting words with nothing but kindness. I cried seeing this. I wish I had someone like Hikaru teaching me. No frustration from Hikaru. Xqc is lucky.
Yea things like that happen in middle school
Ppl are just toxic like that
10 min? Naka would slaughter me blindfolded with 8 seconds on his clock
They actually had a quick match with xqc getting 1 min and Naka getting 10 seconds and Naka won the match in like 6 seconds actually lol
Farhan Rana lmao
Love this, didn't think Hikaru would have such patience.
Imagine teaching xQc for days, streamed for hours, and then gets checkmated in 6 moves
THIS WAS AMAZING LMAO, one of the coolest video collabs I've seen in a while. xqcL
30:07 "Wait, my Queen isn't in Check....yours is!" LOL
Lol that sentence doesn't make sense whatsoever
@@fadilhabibidanufane9593 ya it does.
@@DeuPKay No it doesn't. Only kings can be in check...
@@Ninterd2 Yeah but from a beginner's perspective it effectively is. In this case check just means "the piece will die next turn"
@@Tom-101 Yeah. I thought that check could only apply to a king in the sense of the definition, but I suppose it technically means that something's just attacked. My bad!
It's like what actually the title says
"I Survived" (on hikaru's T shirt, which you can think of it as a name) teaches xQc Chess
12:38 me in first grade using my fingers to calculate under the table when the teacher ask me a question
27:21 the timing for that sound effect tho lmao
Our Pepega streamer is learning FeelsStrongMan
6 moves
I love how xQc says "of course" verbally declaring understanding of Naka's guidance but he has us all on the edge of the seat waiting because in the back of our minds we know he doesn't get it. Just waiting to see what he does is fantastic.
Additional like for Dota name crossover
50:17 '' this is what we call checkmate'' Hikaru Nakamura 2020
Oh no no no “Your level”. TL busta
Hikaru can do a tutorial where in he teaches Chess players of 5 different levels... starting from 1000 to 2000
Hikaru: "You can maybe try to move your king out of the center, but it's going to be hard now, but you can try" smirks 29:00
10:35 i love this part where xqc acts chill then mutes himself and says fuck
RUclips's algorithm knew what it was doing when it put this in my feed
7:50 you're playing great so far (finding a way to hide his laughter)
Bardia Amidi 😂
yeah is rare lol hahahahah after always hear to naka say +2800 is a noob
I think he was about to laugh cause he was looking at chat which was probably spamming "PepeLaugh DONT LAUGH HIKARU"
@@Aymungoos 😁😁😁
Bruh this is so cool! I had to re-read the title a couple times to make sure I wasn't dreaming
12:36 Look at xQc expression hahaha
I imagine a alternate world where xqc wins against moist critical and say "I like to thank my teacher Hikaru and the wooden shield"
Hikaru: *Leaves the room
46:28 Jebaited lol
And then he lost in 6 moves.
All of that work... nullified in 6 moves.
48:58 Basically: when you stop blundering all your pieces you can try to calculate 2 moves ahead
As much as I don't really enjoy xQc's streams, I thought this stream was excellent. Apart from being a good reminder on basics, reaching out to larger audiences with chess is always a plus.
And then he got beat In 6 moves
Then he gets six-moved by Cr1TiKaL.
Because of this I started playing Chess online and also ordered a Chess set to play with my family
Great game that I forgot to play for many years. Hope there will be a part 2!
Oh so you actually got it.
Hey! Just wanted to let you know this definitely wasnt for nothing. I've always been slightly intrigued by chess but never got to play or understand it, but after this stream my interest was piqued and I've been playing it almost non stop for a week now! I absolutely suck at it rn but I'm having fun and wanted to thank you for this!
Look, there is a RUclipsr who is IM Levy Rozman (GothamChess) he has alotta of great guides which would help you get better at chess.
And also he has some paid courses if you are onto this.
Can you imagine xqc not training and losing in 6 moves.
*I could never*
Wouldn’t it be ironic if he would have lost in more moves if he didn’t get coached? Well, I never watched any of xqc’s games so idk if he really learned anything at all
@@sykerblade5353 He probably would have lost in less moves if he wouldn't have been coached. I believe that xQc learned the scotch Opening by coaching and as far as i know the scotch prevents the popular mate in 4 (main line of the scholars mate), which is the reason xQc lost in 6 and not in 4 moves (xQc didn't play the main lines so cr1tikal needed to play a variation of the scholars mate). If he didn't play the scotch tho, he probably would hve lost in 4 moves
Hikaru is having a rough time teaching xqc only to be obliterated in 6 moves by a certain florida man
Bruh's student lost to Charlie in 6 moves
Still got beat in 6 moves by Cr1t1kal tho
Well we all know how this ended
Man, the internet is weird sometimes. Never thought I would see this crossover.
i really like your vibe man. very informative without making yourself sound superior or him stupid. very genuine, keep up the work learned tons of good information.
One good advice for the beginners, which wasn't mentioned in this one: If someone checks you, you should always watch, if that piece is actually guarded somehow. Sometimes beginners respects their opponents too much and they are not watching for the bluffs. Even if player's rating is above yours, they can still make stupid mistakes. Of course these can be traps also, but if you fall for it, you will learn from it.
I can see xqc skill is now THROBBING! THROBBING!
I kinda adore the energy these two exude together. they are two opposite sides of a spectrum but they mash so well together
Okay ur actually a cool dude - i watched alot of Carlson - and just saw ur facepalms and was thinking what a toxic dude. But now i must say pretty cool mate haha!
Sub is here :-P
well this is unfortunate
I love how he couldn't resist the mate in 1 and give the poor guy another chance at 0:36
that's how you know he's a pro
If xqc stuck to chess instead of being toxic in party games i would watch more of him.
All of this just to loose in 6 moves
I would actually love if this was a new series where Hikaru teaches new people chess
I love chess, I love overwatch. I follow xqc, and hikaru.
Never in a million years did I think this would happen, but yet here we are.
This aged well
Hikaru I'm not gonna lie, but the way you're teaching him is super cool, and you're keeping the fun on the same pace like you didn't make him feel bored or something , you kept the atmosphere interesting ! really good job
being pretentious is fun for u huh
@@hallucy2215 no he is not pretentious , he's just an intense guy that's not even holding back his excitement even by playing against a weakling player, and also a main part of teach is to keep things interesting and motivate the player
