Now imagine winning with 2 pawns against 2 enemy pawns, a rook and a knight in the decisive game to secure the tournament victory

I have never, ever seen a king banish itself to far corner like that

When he said 'We're in the year 1983" I felt so relieved that it was not one of my games.

After that game white king: Where were you guys sleeping when I was fighting against an whole army? White pieces: Back rank problems, sir.

This just shows how complex chess can be honestly

Are you kidding me, Levi? This is one the the most amazing games I’ve ever seen 😂

[@dominusregni]

Awesome presentation of the most bonkers chess game I've ever heard of. Half of the moves leave me desperately asking, "Why?! Why would you do that?"

[@sallamahmad8234]

This is basically me playing chess acting like I knew what I was doing.

Basically, this is Hikaru’s favourite game. Kinda ultra boncloud

I am a life long chess player that has only reached a max level of 900 at school related chess tournaments I have taken classes at library’s and also at public schools, I have to say, this channel has taught me more than all of my school years combined just the energy this man has speaks to me so easily I can understand everything that he is saying. Great job on your channel brother you are an amazing teacher.

This game is an exception in that it's both brilliant and dumb at the same time

[@thecouncilofprotection]

One of my friends at school was playing a chess game when I walked over. Only 2 pieces had been taken. His queen, and one of his opponent's knights. There was just a hole in his back rank. But he still retained castling rights, so I don't know how the knight was taken.
