[@mikethespike7579]

This was a great game, it wasn't at all certain who will win until the end. I'm the weakest player in my chess playing family, I even lose too often for comfort against my 12 year old daughter. My wife likes to make fun of me, tells me I should maybe take up stamp collecting instead. But I love the game and it's always satisfying to watch others play and wipe the floor with someone who appears maybe a bit too sure of themselves.

[@yukinoshita5788]

funny. i used to be an ok chess player. in my 20's a friend taught me how to play chess better. now i can teach any novice how to beat me in three games or less.

[@wallacegrommet9343]

At least with stamps, they take a licking instead of you😝

[@grapenutz1137]

as soon as it was rook, bishop vs rook, knight. it was over. lovely game

[@rmac3217]

If u are losing to a 12 yr old ur probably dumb unless she is some sort of prodigy at Mensa, it's only at the high levels that chess becomes a game of memory.

[@mikethespike7579]

@@rmac3217 Of course! It must be because I'm dumb! Why didn't I think of that? You do know that most 12 year olds can wipe most adults from the table when it comes to games involving memory. In fact even five year olds can do that in simple games without breaking a sweat.

I know the basic idea of chess. I know how the pieces move. Yet, I am terrible. I have no idea what was going on in this match yet I still thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

[@h2eh1s-]

Right with you, I imagine beginners attack with one or two pieces thinking they will get results but advanced players use four or five while using other pieces to defend. How they manage to keep track of all that is amazing.

[@marcconnelly5652]

I thought Mike was gonna play b4 on the knight not a4

[@ZootedZebruh]

Hi, newer chess player here.. can someone with more experience explain to me why Mike didn't take the rook on A4 with his pawn at 4:05? Sure it's protected by the Knight on C5, but in terms of material worth isn't it a good move?

[@AviDrissman]

He can’t. The board is flipped so his pawn on b5 can capture on a6, not a4.

[@Lufex_]

Board is set up to Black's prospective. The rook is behind the pawn, not in front

[@ZootedZebruh]

@@AviDrissman Oh, yeah that makes a lot more sense, thanks for the clarification!

[@robinrobinson6714]

Good game! Fun to watch!😊

[@yiuqwfj]

I'm not a strong chess player, but at 3:00 why didn't he play b4 to kick the knight away? To me, that's a No. 1 candidate move. That knight was way too powerful on that square c5 and eventually that knight had cost him the game in my view. So, I really don't get why he didn't play b4. Maybe I miss something, or maybe he's not that strong of a player, just like me.

[@tompele71]

It's been a while since a played quick chess, maybe i can't remember rules correct'o. Question: He is using right and left hand for move and clock. She is using right hand only. Isn't suppose to be one hand consistenly through game or not ? Thx. BR.

[@manuterioh]

I think this is like a non-written rule. People who moves pieces with one hand and clock with the other are seen as a tricksters or just noobs, but in Mike's case is totally acceptable, because rules usually have excemptions.

[@88keys81]

Technically there is a time penalty for using both hands on one move. Technically you are not allowed to talk to your opponent either.

I am a weak chess player, but I want to understand why she didn't move her queen to h2 at 2:49. Wouldn't that be checkmate?

[@thatsimonguygmail]

If queen moves to H2 to check at 2:49, the king would probably just take the queen as there appears to be nothing protecting it.

[@yobogoya4367]

Hustling is more about psychological manipulation than it is about the game itself. So yeah, they likely do. Or they have some other way of making you question what you are doing and distracting you from the game. The whole point of that exchange was to make her feel like she missed what just happened...his presence turns the game into a 3v1. You vs Mike, You vs the Hype-Man, and You vs Yourself.
