Hans definitely one of the hardest working chess players, you will reap benefits soon, just keep working hard until you can no longer be denied

[@Chessmaster2802]

You are so naive! 🤦

[@Zzz-9t]

Every top player works hard. Every top of anytl field works hard. You are just too naive

the thumbnail 💀

[@john50beach18]

Fischer Random seems pretty genius really. It basically shows how talented you are in chess as opposed to people that just memorise lines

[@456death654]

You still need to play chess after you leave memorisation

[@donramanayake1505]

you don't get book lines that end in checkmate😂. Either way you need to play chess. Only difference is that in 'regular' chess you need to be up with the theory and some players don't want to do that.

[@john50beach18]

@ No but you do get book lines that end up putting you in a position to steal several pawns and pieces from someone who was just going off pure intuition

[@Zzz-9t]

[@seth7764]

Just watched the Levy recap. Freestyle so crazy how fast the games can be decided. At move 4 here Hans is actually in a fully losing position and the game is already over in that there was no way to fight back. At move 4 Magnus never loses eval bar and only ever pushes to the win. I love Freestyle, I hope it becomes the main format of chess one day. I think Freestyle will really benefit people like Hans who I believe have one of the best natural feels for the game so he will be really successful. But in the short term it is a nightmare for the chess community given Magnus has the best feel for chess of all time. If Magnus is 50-100 points above everyone else in the world in traditional chess, he is 200 points above everyone in freestyle.

[@inack9220]

This man"s ego is so big that even though he got completely destroyed by magnus; he still puts up a thumbnail of him beating magnus. I guess this man just can't stop lying and cheating.

[@chesslights]

Hans thought Magnus would resign after not making a move for 30 seconds lol

[@walterbrownstone8017]

Freestyle is all you need to know about chess. It's all about brute force calculation...I mistakenly thought it was about the opening but this clearly shows it's all about doing puzzles.

FISCHER RANDOM.

[@walterbrownstone8017]

When Hans isn’t making his absurd speeches of disrespect to other players and all, makes him be much more likeable as a person. In this video and how it ended, where he went to analysis after the match was nice thing for him to learn his mistakes and learn from them. Hans, stop putting yourself in a bad spot and if you start being more genuine with how you are, a human being, more people will support you on your journey.

[@Black_Dragon897]

Hans seems to be on the right path cuz he seems to be able to put his past behind him and evolve as a chess player rather attacking Magnus and Hikaru. He needs to milk them through his channel to get clicks and he needs to beat them on chess board not on paper and news

Cooked 😂

[@Toruceaux]

It first started when Hans defeated many of his enemies in freestyle chess. Then later that year he beat Hikaru in Titled Tuesday, then he defeated Magnus and Hikaru in the Speed Chess Championship. Lastly he defeated Gukesh to become the World Chess Champion. Then Hans hoisted his trophy above his head, crying tears of joy, but he kept himself together for an interview, where he uttered the phrase he coined “Chess speaks for himself” then walked away. Hans knew he won, he knew he had defeated evil. And when Hans confronted Magnus and Hikaru again, he thanked them for giving him the ultimate motivation to become the best, revenge. With his charities booming and his Elo the highest in the world, truly, chess had never been larger, all thanks Hans Neiman. No one dared to challenge him for his title, because they knew he would let the chess speak for itself.
