    This was an all time fave stream. XQC is a great guy and the explosion of emotes in chat was quite memorable. Also gotta plug the limited time merch. If the chessbrahs have taught us all one thing, it's if you're gonna sellout - go big or go home. Limited run Hikaru Bongcloud Speedrun Merch - available here for about 10 more days: merch.streamelements.com/gmhikaru . Thanks so much for all the support, subscriptions and follows.

    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

      Masua90 there’s obviously other motivation, publicity being the main one. He’s going to reach some of XQCs viewers out of this.

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.

    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.

    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.
