Freestyle Chess Play-In Weissenhaus | Swiss Winners v. Wildcards ft. Hans, MVL, Ian & More! KO

[@jeremyvorberg3678]

No one’s talking about it but Ian has been playing some incredible chess lately

[@ΔημήτρηςΤερζάκης-τ9π]

He is my favourite player and let me tell you no one is talking about it because his chess was even more amazing 3-4 years ago. He was the clear second best in the world... Not anymore unfortunately

[@nzmason]

His fortitude and tenacity after the championship events is 3200+

[@vedantharwani9278]

@@jeremyvorberg3678 he generally does, he just always buckles under the pressure at most finals, would’ve probably lost to Magnus if they played until someone won.

Crazy game but ian has so many tactics and traps there

[@BatmanTheMainVillain]

because chess speaks for itself🔥

[@pankajsyal1676]

I watched Hikaru on Kick when Hans blundered a mate in one at 5:33:38 and his reaction was just hilarious, man I feel bad for Hans he seems to have the world against him at times. Keep trying Hans and let the chess speak for itself 💔

[@HockeyMan666]

Hikaru is just a bitter old man dont take his comments too serious

[@blue_red_screen]

Hans brings the negativity on himself

[@LeafBurrower]

@@blue_red_screen Hikaru is an out and out bully, v unpleasant.

[@blue_red_screen]

@@LeafBurrower yes but hans does not behave well either

[@GuyWhoCooks]

@@blue_red_screen Honestly if so many people accused me of cheating even if I wasn't, I'd be pissed too. Before the allegations, he had decent relations with the chess world.

[@_pond17]

this is awesome, love seeing how differently the games evolve from the same position. looking forward to a full year of freestyle :)

[@_pond17]

like, super GMs blundering on move 2? you can't beat that

[@DRosenman87]

If anyone’s looking for Hans blundering mate in 1 it’s at 5:33:39

[@joebonek4102]

This is better than normal chess... where these GM have memorized the opening.. not perfect but still enough.. there won't be 15 move textbook...

[@Bruellhusten123]

What an epic match between Hans and Ian!

[@TheoTugnao]

I want to see freestyle chess played OTB where players can wear whatever they like and is free to decide whether when they want to continue playing or not but still get the prize money

[@gerrycrisandy2425]

@@TheoTugnao no, the tournament is organised properly, not by FIDE, so not going to happen 😭

David's commentary was better today. Always defer to a GM in commentary ! less is more ! Maybe learn from Anish hahaha. Its awesome watching chess 960 like this ! Thanks

[@cactus_szn6341]

3:36:52 "Am i feeling his vibrations? " 🤣 Bruh Danya knows what he was doing 😂

[@debrascott8775]

So thankful I won't have to watch Neiman in this tournament series.

[@metaphysicsmike]

Hans is a legend and he will always win one day, I believe it. He's still so young. Amazing matches!

[@bclaudew3]

great job covering danya and david. appreciate y'all.

[@Toopa88]

What's up with all the weird comments? Thanks to Nepomniachtchi and Nieman for playing entertaining chess.

[@kingslayersTV]

Hans talks a lot of talk for constantly coming up short

[@AquaticSkipper]

Chess viewers have become extremely cringe, and are essentially bullying a world class player because they've decided they're in the "I must insult this guy to show I'm in my tribe" tribe

[@andrejbogdanov2816]

​@@AquaticSkipper it's rather cringe people have become chess viewers

[@washa84]

​@@AquaticSkipperNo, it's just his personality, behavior and comments about others. Ian is far from my favorite player, but Hans is a cheater and his trash talk deserves to be punished. Good result, keep it up

[@toSirius]

@@AquaticSkipper Conformity, one clown runs the other. They are not about chess. Only Chess Noobs. Chess fans prefer the game

[@SoyErlanz]

Congratulations Hans. You blunder mate in 1.

[@Yapsuu]

Newbie here. Did hans missed a checkmate on ian?

[@BeigeCoyote]

@@Yapsuu Nope, at 5:33:40 Hans moved his knight instead of getting his king to safety which allowed Ian to checkmate him

[@elchino4158]

Hans beeds ran out of battery last two moves 🎉

[@duckduck6569]

Hey dude, maybe it's better to have something in your ass than to sit on your ass.

“Yeah” was literally his only response to Danya’s comments and jokes

I watch all these livestreams just for danya's verbal wit

[@WoTMike1989]

Hans proves yet again that when it comes to the elite of the elite, he chokes. The chess speaks for itself

[@nevertwenty]

1:03:23 "chess is a fundamentally concrete game" do NOT trvialize Danya's game of chess.

Hans, if you didn't know, you blundered mate in 1. Mate in 1. Mate in 1. Mate in 1. Ma.....

[@quidditas]

and he is still 1000 times better than you. Interesting, huh?

[@CeRz]

@quidditas I guess we have one thing in common then, none of us is playing the semifinals qualifier for the freestyle chess tournament 🤣🤣 Mate in 1. Mate in 1. Mate in 1. Ma...

[@NewjerseyTexas]

Guguberry!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤣 5:33:51

[@leandro6285]

It's crazy to me that hans is being competitive against the best of the best. A player who by other top players standsrs shouldn't be very very easy...

[@adibmustofa4996]

5:33:39 That's a ridiculous movement without an engine. What can Hans do without an engine? 😂😂😂

This commentator sounds a lot like Danny Rensch. Is that his brother or is it him with a cold or what's happening.

They must be from the same state. Someone fact check that for me.

[@shanastroskyphazer8172]

Is it just me or does Dennis look like a young Botvinnik !!! ?

[@btlarkin]

Would you rather: Match fix, or wear Jeans? Carlson said both. Suspend him.

[@kentekeroth]

Niemann vs MVL at 1:56:34 smells like computer moves all the way (from Niemann). To precise. To patient. Nah. Don’t believe it.

[@STALCHESSAll2SuperGMAnalysis]

🔥🔥🔥

[@babasalwa4004]

Hans earned my respect with this, i know he regained his integrity by clearly not cheating on online bout. Recover soon champ !

[@washa84]

You mean not cheating when? 😄 And it seems ok for you, he was looking to the side for whole match? Btw, he admit cheating in a past, so...? 🤷🏼‍♂️🤣

[@Ploeppsel]

​@@washa84oh no he looked to the side. Maybe his screen is not underneath his camera? Maybe the window was open and the weather was nice? Maybe a UFO landed in his backyard and he was just curious? Even if there's a second screen how do you know he was having an engine active and not just his OBS because he was livestreaming or a tennismatch that he was curious about. This: why do you look away from the screen? is not proof nor is it even evidence of cheating. Because you have no insight of what they're looking at or even if they look at anything specific at all ( it could be done to rest the eyes even if it's just for a moment) Everyone looks away from the screen and that's fine. Funny sidestory I read the same accusations against a PUBG streamer a few years ago and to this day I think the person writing it was stupid, because the accusation has no foundation at all. That thread is still burned into my mind and the fact that it starts in chess now makes me sad.

[@kingslayersTV]

Ian must’ve wore jeans today 😂😂

[@emmanuel7690]

Played this, saw staring in 9 minutes, closed youtube, came back ~10 minutes later, played it again noticed the same thing. Puzzled, I sit there and watch the time go down to make sureI'm not losing my sh*t. Whole I could have just skipped it. Shocking

[@Philopantheon82]

Hans' beads are too slow this time

[@javierroman4086]

Guguberry was not very right on that comment!!

[@washa84]

Wow, so many Hans fans during live stream, where are you now? Hans played well until he was looking to the side only. Seems like without engine he can blunder even M1 🤭😄

[@bclaudew3]

lets go ian!!! bye bye hans. i guess things got a little hey wire.

[@khalilal-arab5394]

it is so satisfying to see Hans lose ....

[@GoddMessi]

Hans looks so good

[@nicklagoon]

Yeah

[@journosketch]

Hans Emotional Control still pretty bad, get too nervous easily, he should learn to schumacher who in speed 400 km / hour, his heart beat still normal.

[@tonyfondacaro1980]

Here’s to Hans losing brutally like this until he leaves the sport. He’s toxic and egotistical and does nothing to advance chess in a positive way.

[@allanfifield8256]

X x a2!

[@leterryle]

People in the comments are so against one cheater, while they support another cheater. Funny.

How does Danya justify critiquing MVL when the eval bar went in his favor? Don't ever overrule the eval bar. Never. You're out of your league.

[@johng7602]

No wonder you are being questioned Hans. Blunders like this make you a suspect

[@andreypetukhov4250]

Did this dude really start coughing out loud in the microphone? And also you’re supposed to be entertaining. Not irritating like Tanya Sachdev or David Howell but at least speak up a little and stop coughing into the microphone. You’re a great calculator dude but this is not a private lesson but a stream. Also Many thanks to Danya, best as always

[@Toopa88]

Danya made way too many weird statements/jokes. It seems like he still needs to mentally recover from the Kramnik accusations.

[@ElJorgius]

I don't know why but I fell asleep the first 20 minutes 😴

[@orangejuece]

So, put out a spreadsheet like the Football Squares people used to gamble on. They still might. Now, do this weekly to keep the congregation of gamblers that want to wager day to day on the Chess players that we know can bring us a clean game through the airwaves of the Chess Leagues, Clubs, and exhibition matches. Now we don't need the Las Vegas Gaming Commission to regulate the atmosphere. People will honor tradition of the exchange for a successful take of the spoils of the war from the battlefield of Chess. We can't gamble on you guys unless somebody DRAWS a spreadsheet of players and the points they can make without The FIDE. It's wagering on increments of different time control zones. Keep it simple.

freestyle sucks ,bye.
