A queen/knight (in other words, bishop/knight/rook) hybrid exists in some chess variants and is usually called the amazon. Similarly, a bishop/knight hybrid is an archbishop.
I really love these beginner training session videos as a beginner myself, I find that very often masters will do all these videos by themselves so there isn't anyone to ask all the silly questions that they just take for granted that people will realize.
I have tried watching a few of these Hikaru plus celeb videos and I can only conclude that Hikaru is incredibly kind and patient. I am learning nothing about Chess, but everything about being a good human being.
3 month ago I'd never though I'll get into chess, tried learning it in the past but found it too complex... Until Levy showed up. You should give it a shot tho!
"why cant queens move like knights? cause they arent on a horse" i feel like all these streamer videos is showing hikaru a side of chess he hasn't experienced before.
The contrast of poki constantly saying things like "5head?" and actually making good moves or seeing difficult patterns is pretty hilarious & impressive, esp w hikaru just nodding and looking smug the whole time
I gotta say, she really does have amazing vision for a beginner. She's picking up on intermediate/advanced concepts so fast, and she's able to see counter-intuitive moves that most beginners would never be able to find. Hikaru even missed when she asked about long castling having an advantage in a certain situation because it made that rook stronger, which shows she understands strategy and not just tactics. I wasn't expected to be, but I'm legitimately impressed. Way to go, Poki. I'll root for you at Pogchamps, just gotta work on that confidence!
Ngl, she is legit impressive. Some of these plays is miles above what you'd expect from an average beginner. No idea what else she is known for but she could definetly do well if she applied her self to this.
@@0xCaera pretty sure that's because of their "tryhard mentality" which pushes oneself to be better at something-eletism. Which I'm not sure if poke has it
YES! YES! and YES! This collab is amazing. Hikaru gives some patient and really instructive coaching and insight to less experienced players without it seeming pretentious or condescending AND let’s be honest, Pokimane is super hot and has good chess potential. Love it
If I had to bet I would never say she would have found the last checkmate. That was really impressive. Also the people in the chat saying she uses Stockfish are wrong, because she is actually explaining her ideas.
@Lo Fell Yeah, I have the 2nd place speedrun for the Any% Pokimane Discord ban. Not my proudest achievement but it was fun. Edit: it was 2nd place when I did it, might've fallen behind by now.

However, it's rather amusing that you're so obsessed with her that you think every person in the world must either love her or hate her.
You really should've taught her the levy's way of thinking for beginners: Checks, Captures, Attacks. Would've helped her out with almost every single puzzle
@@michaelh878 ah okay, thanks. I just thought of mentioning it since it really felt like she didn't know where to even begin thinking every time Hikaru asked her something.
@@lucasoscar yeah, top players are usually not great teachers. Because it's hard for them to slow themselves down, and understand beginners thought process.
Uhm... no. I taught my little brother chess and he picked it up a little quicker than her, but he is not naturally gifted at all. She started waaaay to late to become "incredibly strong".
I also love how, in the last attempt for rook+king checkmate pattern, she played all the perfect king moves for fastest mate even though Hikaru told her not to care about it.
It is so beautiful to see someone learning this game so interest in it. I hope she can love this game for long and that she is able to see and understand those games by Morhpy, Alekhine, Tal and Kasparov...
When I was a kid we used to play this variant where the Queen can also move like a Knight, its too powerful, if you put it in an empty board with an enemy king its always checkmate in one Edit: the king is anywhere on the edge, anywhere else it's probably checkmate in 2 or 3
I honestly thought Queens could move like knights also in high school, so I tricked a lot of people without even knowing it, because somebody said to me the queen could move in every way possible lmao
I absolutely love how perfect the game of chess is. Just can't imagine that it has been around so long and misunderstood for so long. Just with how great and simple it is it feels like it was a test by higher power to see if we could ever be smart enough to understand it.
I'm 1200 and learned so much by this lesson and was so impressed that Poki has found so many moves I couldn't. Ofc there are rookie oversights but all in all if she developes as she is right now, and will be fast enough for pogchamps format shell wreck them
@@RedzeeTV imagine a 5 by 5 square on a chess board with a queen in the middle. Think about every square that the queen can go to on that 5x5 those 8 squares that the queen can not go too are the only squares that the knight can go to.
This was a really good lesson. Poke is lucky to have basically a world champion give her a lesson. PogChamps is a great idea and I hope to see more, involving more amateurs, and newbies. Chess is exciting for all levels of skill, provided people are evenly matched. I think Hikaru and Poke could make a good couple, but I'm not sure if Hikaru still has his Italian gf, I read about once.
Having helped coach kids at various chess camps, it's insanely impressive to me that she's finding mates in two with such ease, particularly when they involve sacrifices of rooks & queens. Usually, when we'd give basic mate-in-two puzzles to kids that have played for a couple years, they still tend to struggle with them.

tbh, I don't think she found the checkmate at 18:29. I think she saw that she could check with the queen, didn't know she would lose it, but then got affirmation from Hikaru. Which then prompted her to pick the next move in the sequence. I could be wrong though. Mostly just an observation.

TIL you can't castle through an attacked space :o
I'm glad chess is getting this type of attention!
tbh, I don't think she found the checkmate at 18:29. I think she saw that she could check with the queen, didn't know she would lose it, but then got affirmation from Hikaru. Which then prompted her to pick the next move in the sequence. I could be wrong though. Mostly just an observation.
Ok, damn. I underestimate her a lot I guess..
i thought she would get pretty decent but if this her after 1 week she might be terrifying once pog champs start
@@triplesharigan I mean she’s learning pretty fast. It took me longer than her to get to think the way she’s thinking right now.
@@franco8630 i wasn't being sarcastic I played since i was 6. I had my first tournament at 7 and developed into a decent enough player that i had to go up against the prodigies of my country and occasionally took a game of them. She's learning hella fast and has good instincts. After 1 week i was not even close to her lvl.
@@triplesharigan oh, got ya
@@triplesharigan well you were a kid and she’s a grown adult lol
He's so nice, good too have a top GM sharing some knowledge
Now what I want to see is a variant where the queen is on a horse and can make all her normal moves plus knight moves.
Not chess
If she can't defeat someone using The Jerome later, I'd call this pogchamp a void, because that's what Jerome would've wanted.
JEROMEEEEEEE
Poki has the best tutor
Daniel Naraditsky is a better tutor imo, while hikaru is a better "player" but daniel is better at teaching(still is good)
Imagine watching pokimane simp check
@@urgbrdiff8780 I would like to remain as polite as possible but are you that stubbornly stupid?
@@blitzphantom3544 He's a bot that replies 'simp' to any comment that talk about poki.
Poki acts too cute and innocent. Completely fake and braindead. Can see right through it
