[@lakshyabang4254]

Was watching this game live on lichess, knew something was up when you had this much time 😅. Good video as always

[@joshuasonnen5982]

Milan is so much fun on this channel!

[@bilalfredborghuric-larsen-4424]

[@indigochild2.098]

[@wizzypoohh]

Enjoy ur games honestly

[@jetonhaliti-oq1ff]

I really had high hopes for you guys

[@hata6290]

step is the goat

[@magicja]

Move 24, I was thinking about sacrificing your knight with Nxd5, Rxc1 (or exd5), Rxc1, exd5, Qxd5+, Qf7, Qxb7. But then you would be down a pawn.

[@brionbrooks8761]

I thought hand-and-brain involved on player saying the name of a piece and the other player figuring out things from there. This looked more like a simple collaboration. Did your opponent know the format? I applaud what you were trying to do, but somehow feel this just wasn't fair. Again, unless Black was informed and ok. Thanks for your other content. Always enjoy thinking along with you.

[@LiberaTeMetuMortis]

4:08 yes please

[@odysseas573]

Did bot except so many people to have a problem with this. Oh well. Nice video

[@simaeskandarzade3943]

so we are gonna get road to gm yesssssssssss

[@nicserbo2689]

he a fair man

[@bluefin.64]

Stjepan, your game was fun to watch but illegal on Lichess. I'd post in the forums asking for an explanation of hand and brain, what it actually is and when you can play it. Hopefully a mod will answer.

[@colinbyer3018]

Am i Crazy? 20:56 did. you miss Knight takes d5? And then If rook takes rook you leave it and Cork Queen and King

[@humaidm3913]

I think after Nxd5 you can just take back with exd5 Cause If Nxd5 exd5, Qxd5+ Be6 i think everything is okay for black and white is down a kinght for 2 pawns

[@Chess_Player_lol]

Nxd5 exd5 Qxd5 Be6 holds everything together and black is up a piece

[@magicja]

@@Chess_Player_lol Black can block the check with their queen to protect their rook. That bishop move would work as well.

[@nisarg411]

Be6 saves everything men😅

[@mohakapt]

More like brain and brain 🙃, you guys are sharing your thoughts and suggesting moves to each other.I felt bad for the other guy playing against 2 players without agreeing or even knowing. Thankfully he won, still it’s not the nicest thing to do.

[@jakethemuss8081]

😂

[@nisarg411]

Dont worry opponent is 2400😅

[@lew3733]

While I agree that this is not appropriate, duoing so can actually also be a negative. Like in the game, going for other's idea while not being in favor of it yourself.

[@OmarAhmed-es8qr]

Perhaps it would've been better to if you had agreed with Kuros or someone you know to be the opponent, to bypass ethical issues. Also, you should've done the talking on your own, leaving the discussion with your partner for after the game. I'm aware it's casual fun and all, but since you wanted mind and hand, this ain't it.

[@colinbyer3018]

I was thinking this or he should play unrated or give the rating back technically right

[@bluefin.64]

Lichess rules allow hand and brain in unrated games on streaming accounts, but this wasn't even hand and brain. It was half consultation chess, which is considered cheating. Stjepan is a known person of good character and he probably wouldn't get banned if the mods found out, but if he does it again he might.

[@stilltheory]

That's definitely counts as cheating, by the way

[@jakethemuss8081]

😂

[@brianbanks703]

agreed, unethical, and the raucous laughter is distracting, a pity

[@shuvro40]

Hand and brain chess with an online opponent is not exactly ethical.

[@firebug3256]

You guys are a bunch of cry babies. It's an online game played for no stakes. News flash: there are likely thousands of accounts used by scolastic groups, clubs, etc. that either have multiple people using them or higher elo players coaching lower elo players or are superGMs anonymously smurfing their way up the rating ladder. If that bothers you, then join a club and play otb.

[@dropthegun234]

It's clearly a one-time thing AND they lost, I think you can chill a little dude

[@jakethemuss8081]

😂 relax shuvro you wet wipe

[@igorface09]

You're right, it should be a casual game, not a rated one, against an opponent who know what's going on.
