Hikaru crushes GM Ben Finegold on his way to the top of Arena Kings March 22, 2021
oh quick okay right drab is going to play as d5 again i think i'm supposed to play like rook c8 maybe knight c5 i don't remember how this line goes to a5 i can obviously sack maybe but i'm going to go here and [ __ ] knight c4 i'm gonna go here i'm probably gonna sat um i mean he's begging me to sack so i'm gonna sack if bishop d4 i have knight c3 even or e5 and i'm doing very well i think the song is catchy i just mean it's it's very random oh wait i can take and take wait what is this okay takes i mean i can still take maybe wait okay one so let me change the music okay i think i just take so he takes i take if he takes i take and then he's still behind i think it's down by down by pieces here good quick win too very nice quick win resigns nice to get a first win against shababa quickly like that could get renato let's play the same thing let's go here goes f4 i can obviously take here i can also go c5 i'm gonna play c5 this looks a little bit dubious i'm gonna take i can also play like h5 or f5 let me go h5 and try to open up the diagonal here i don't know if it's good but it looks reasonable i can still take and also play f5 well it takes an f5 no i'm just gonna go here maybe i play i'm gonna go f5 this might be very dubious by me but i'm going to try to do something weird you can obviously grab a pawn remember my king to c7 here i need to rest after the stream well thank you man thank you i need to rest i'm a streamer you guys if you can't i mean come on you really think the 10 hours is like that bad it could be worse i could be ludwig and have to stream for the next 200 hours or whatever it is let's take the knight should have taken with the queen it's a bad move yeah it's got knight f3 and now i'm in bad shape i'm gonna go here and just run my king out sugar on d8 c7 please f5 which actually i think is a slightly wrong move let's go here because he opens up the diagonal for my op my bishop is really well placed now on h6 i feel like i should have something let's go here like with bishop e3 i feel like i'm getting something i mean i stream every day so like russ is not something i'm familiar with think of inertia package saying hey w for the four but bones let's take i thought i should have something here maybe i just have nothing let's just go here very quietly i'm hitting the pawn on f5 at bishop e3 bishop f4 i'm not really sure what's going on in this game it's very messy this rook up seven it's a little bit of a weird move i can obviously take also go knight f6 i also knight let's go here intakes 95 i can actually take if i want i hope i'm not blundering something here let's go here i think i'm okay i have king e7 also knight g4 i think i'm back in the game here knight e3 logical let's take let's go here trap the knight his night's actually stuck it has no jumps anywhere it's stuck it's just it's stuck here okay now i should be winning somehow let's go here to hit the rook let's go here oh i've kind of misplayed this hmm let's go here maybe knight f4 knight is still stuck he's still got no jumps resigns let's go again they need to curse for the 500 bits to curse for one thousand command tv for the 500 thank you feather turtle for the prime and l t green thinks giving a shade of z let's go e4 pretty good start two quick wins against the top two players let's go a4 how do you have to worry do you worry about not revealing prep well that's why normally i play um i don't play main lines or what i normally would play um let's just take and go here let's go here it's castle bishop g4 i just go h3 and reroute i'll just go h3 here okay i don't really like my position um i guess i'll go hear me bishop a3 scoring is that you basically start with streaks so like if i win one game i get two points if i win second game in a row i get three if i win a third game i get four and it's capped at four so basically once you've won three in a row you're scoring his max so that's why you want to get on big streaks if you can i think i'll just go hearing queen up two maybe 94 at some moment i'm gonna go here maybe rookie five maybe 92 it's not a great position but it's playable so you want you want to win a lot of games in a row basically it's the moral of the story guess i'll go should i go here cuz i hit the pawn but yeah you want you want to get on a streak so you want to win like 10 in a row because then every game after the third you keep accumulating points whereas if your opponent if the other players aren't aren't winning in a row they don't get points like these guys are on knights they've won three so the first game is two second game oh they're up to five third a game in a row they're up to nine okay i'll go b4 okay goes knight d5 which i think is not a great move i think i have 92 here actually i really like 92 just hit the pawn can you berserk i don't know what you mean precisely but i think i just takes if he takes i just take and then i take okay now i'm just up upon i should be much better okay let's go here 95 maybe let's go here i guess and take oh you berserk by giving up half your time no that doesn't exist on chess.com okay now just go here and collect let's go here maybe d4 i could have gone f5 and then i'm just gonna go f5 so i can attack his king he doesn't queen f5 okay let's go d4 wasn't me let's go here hit the pawn wasn't me let's go chuck it was me true dot okay let's just go here it's actually winning but it's a little bit tricky here it's not obvious i'm looking to double stack it on the seventh here don't think it works if he checks i come up checks i come up too okay how do i do this let's go here i just go here i mean anything wins so i'm just going to come back maybe the burger king for the prime shadow goon for the two yeah i know i i just always am bobbing my head regardless i always just bob my head hawaiian pizza i don't dislike it that much but it's not my favorite thing let's go here actually why did i play this so stupid of me goes to h6 i'm gonna go over something weird with g3 maybe i mean he has g4 but i also know h4 and out of four okay let's castle and take okay knight f6 let's just go here consolidate my structure as best i can oh wait that's just oh my gosh i just blundered ah bad opening he misses it okay let's go here he could he could have just taken because i knight you three knight d4 he just missed it okay now i take 420 subs yeah thank you so much to everybody for all love and support today you guys are amazing now i'm worse but i have two nights at least so it's not that bad okay i'm knight of five here um i think i'm just gonna play is he really gonna castle i don't know which way he's castling so i'm gonna go queen c2 i'm just to ask him is he really going long or not he is going long okay so let's go after him let's go bishop b5 i'm gonna go after his knights go after his whole queen side here let's go b4 i mean he doesn't really have threats though because f5 i can always just take and his knights are very clumsy if he goes back okay it's his threat to go g4 maybe it is but am i really concerned now i'm not worried let's just attack i also have d5 at the right moment let's go here i mean e5 is a threat knight there is a threat b5 is a threat let's just go for it let's just attack oh i blundered f5 oh my god i just blundered oh man i just made a huge blunder maybe he'll miss it though no he doesn't miss it that was a huge blunder by me okay let's go here let's go here huge blunder by me bolo somehow i think he misplayed i think he had a wimp g4 still maybe a little bit messy not so obvious okay i probably gonna sack material here let's just take i'm gonna go a5 a6 and try to attack try to play like daniel or something let's go um i have rookie three but i think i just sidestep okay there let's just go a5 bishop g3 at bishop c4 this is getting a little bit tricky for my opponent now because i bishop e6 also let's go a6 and attack him not bishop c4 queen g2 maybe with rookie one i'm going to go here i want to line up some of this diagonal basically let's go here takes that looks like a mistake for many reasons let's go here at bishop c4 wait i can also let's go here let's take a b sub wait what's going on here with this getting wireless check let's go here let's go here this is getting really wild and also take i can also take maybe this is really sharp um let's go f6 f7 maybe try to make another queen let's go here maybe i mean my pawn is also going i can also make another queen i think i take though and then i collect a second queen checkmate there we go next game that was a wild game but it's a win jay happy for the prime thank you so much appreciate it that was a pretty fun game since it ended it ended nicely we get borton not a great game here can we play the french oh he's gonna play this one okay i guess i'm gonna take i don't know if i should but i'm just gonna do it and play here let's go here oh wait i misplayed let's go here i guess so here i guess queen e6 i just block bishop b5 i have c6 should be fine oh i just blundered h7 like unfortunate just a bad blunder by me oh man it's just careless maybe i can still find a way out though let's see if i can find some way out like bishop g6 or knight somewhere i was really careless i just missed bishop h7 altogether okay maybe quincy it's a move here it's bad but maybe it's playable he really doesn't want to trade queens i don't think chris g4 wild move i do have bishop g6 here i do have knight g6 also wait a second i also bishop e6 weight i feel like there's something here that i just need to not miss bishop g67 takes bishop f6 g7 takes takes six bishop six takes when some takes it's a draw whatever a draw is fine here i don't mind to draw i think axe worker for the four months they only won evans for the seven globe mcbit for the 300 bits i'm hoping that i'm not blundering here i don't think i am but i could be maybe bishop e6 was good but i i don't know see you lose the streak if you draw yes um oh does this just lose for me yeah this probably just loses i didn't even see that okay let's go here yeah a draw ends a streak that's the whole point wait what's that oh wow this just wins wow wow poor game i i i really blundered that it was a bad game terrible game yeah probably i had something i i basically had blundered the pawn if i go king h8 it's just a draw but i played bishop 7 which is through the whole game really frustrating too but it's early it's early so it doesn't matter um okay that's not a good pairing especially because i won four in a row normally when you win four in a row you get off to a good start yeah it happens you lose games but i'm going to beat him next time i'm going to like lock it down next game like no nonsense next time that was just a bad game let's go here although i got to be careful not to not to like suddenly tilt this game because this guy is very dangerous too um okay let's go here and here yeah this guy's very dangerous also um let's take with the pawn maybe go bishop d3 how's it possible lose thank you for that because castle i'll take with the queen and play here let's go here what am i doing again i'm just ah this is not good if i take he takes takes i'm gonna try it hopefully it's not bad but we'll see yeah this guy is quite dangerous too i think lt candyman for the three months thank you so much appreciate lt candy man i go here i threaten meat i think i hold the pawn slow down yeah but it's arena kings time matters i just blunder bish about seven that was just my mistake if i don't blunter [ __ ] about seven i don't lose that game but time does matter if i can get a higher volume it's not going to matter what happens hm let's just take i have rook h3 maybe this should be a good position if i take wait wait this doesn't look right i think i can take the pawn i mean if i can't i can't oh i just got no wait no work out five i've taken chuck um i think this is good done arena kings is a streak base so it's based on how you perform in the individual game thank you to a bonsoir set for the tier one thank you to bone sua seb appreciate it thank you need to win this game fast though it's queen e7 i think i just sidestepped here probably yeah i just sidestepped because i have chuck and now i should win this game once i get the wait i just check take and take right before let's just go back yeah now i'm just going to win the game this is good let's go here rook f3 win this game fast and move on queen b6 okay let's go check let's go here i mean everything wins but let's just go here to mate okay resigns keep going good quick win important to win games fast i don't even use a minute there which is good everyone is not three points the first one is two it's the middle game is three and the third game or more is is three in a row okay what's this let's go i don't even know if e4 is right but i'll do it let's go here on bishop d6 i don't even know if this is right but i want to move fast i don't really want to think too long i could have also traded i guess i thought i could take here because if he takes i get the fork if he takes the pawn i have f4 and i hit everything i think this is good for me hopefully it is let's go f4 open up the fossil because take let's just take we'll just take maybe knight h5 is better but i feel like time matters just check let's go here i don't really know what rook g1 does maybe he wants bishop f1 or something but it doesn't really threaten anything so i don't understand this move by him first place is 250 let's just go here force queens off trying to move really fast in this game okay that's a bad move i play here he resigns okay that's nice i get a second quick win and just like that everyone is everyone is four points again so now we now now that was a really fast win that took me like less than three minutes so i already erased all the bad stuff with bourtnik by winning those two games instantly that's why volume matters like if i lose the game but i can win like two games in a row very quickly volume is gonna matter more than the uh volume will always matter the most because i'm already back on a streak that's the point like i'm back on a streak so like if i win this game it's plus four again this is this one the thing is like already i'm back to like being on the plus three train so winning those two games in like four minutes or five minutes erased everything let's go here and take i'm gonna lose points if i i'm probably going to lose points anyway because my rating is so absurdly high right now but it's all good i mean it's arena kings he's really thinking a long time though the prize is a 250 first prize it's castle let's build a center maybe 95 maybe e4 yeah let's just go for this big center here just there strange move i mean i'd be worried oh i had knight g5 why did i do e5 okay let's play a4 try to open this up but i just gave him c5 which is also kind of unnecessary let's go here and try to trade maybe trying to really blitz him off the board in this game well i got 3 300 plus honestly i have no idea i think it's gonna be extremely hard let's go a5 a6 let's go here now the bishop has no activity and i'm gonna go knight g5 like even this guy gained one point for a win so i'm gonna lose rating points unless i have a flawless arena kings is thinking okay let's just go here i'm probably gonna tickle him with knight h7 although maybe i can also just take and go here really thinking a long time here please f5 okay of course i take i go check just go back i guess and back to d3 i'm gonna go c4 and open this up let's go here definitely going c4 or maybe rook b1 also let's go rook b1 or b7 oh let's take the knight rook b7 is coming in here wow he just plays e5 instantly no no regard for his dark squares kind of surprising let's go here i do have brook here d7 bishop f5 it's too dangerous let's just take let's go here maybe queen g4 give him quincy i five like i'm moving a little bit too fast in this game near king g1 rook g8 and rookie seven i'm gonna win this game but i'm not happy with how quickly i'm moving moving a little bit too fast trying to get more volume let's go here h a7 okay resigns keep going goes take let's go knight of three i guess trying to move i feel like i'm moving too fast but whatever time is the name of the game it's arena kings after all let's go here i'm gonna play b for me bishop b2 go here and take i think you'd have big x for the uh 20 months thank you so much the big x take this knight she's exchanged let's go here i guess i can take and take i can grab a pawn if i want i don't really want to so i'm going to go here maybe knight d4 maybe just here hit the pawn it goes there let's go here okay now i go here and i start to collect i think something so i also wait i also have this to hit the queen here f4 okay let's just um just take just be safe no nonsense go here i'm gonna go a4 b5 i think the corny for the tier one thing is the corner or corny corner i'm not sure if i'm pronouncing it but thank you so much for the tier one okay now i go here i get a knife on f5 which must be pretty strong maybe i'll just tickle him i'll tickle him back let's go here target the rook and now as rook is getting stuck in the box rick is stuck now he loses the other rook because of this one let's keep going we're gonna get born nick again what's he on he's on 21 this is important okay no nonsense actually why did i play knight c3 this isn't the greatest line okay let's just go back c3d4 is my idea he plays this i'm gonna go d4 and takes actually i gotta remember he's on 21 like i need to like slow it down a little bit and just play good chess like i'm trying to blitz out too much here which is not it's actually a mistake like this game matters i can't just like rush my moves okay i will just castle here probably i'm gonna take okay i guess i'll go a4 i'll go g4 h3 because now that both wings are open he can't really castle this side since i've really provoked him on the on the queen side i think chase for the prime thing so much chase let's go here problem for bortnik here is that basically he can't he can't do anything on this side of the board so again i'll pre-move hg4 i'll see you guys i'm gonna have to run ads like i i told you before that i'm way behind on ads for this month so i kind of have to run ads i'm sorry about it because take i mean f5 is good i'm just gonna go knight g3 though i am still a member of tsm yes i am f5 is coming here pretty soon it was rk8 i kind of thought he would do that i can play bishop e3 here just go here i feel like that's wrong though somehow the good thing is he's down on the clock i just need to remember that that time will matter here here's the night before i obviously have no i don't have about five that hangs material okay let's go just go go let's go here probably i'm gonna play f5 this move or next move i can always trade now i can also trade f5 what's the move okay whatever let's let's just go i probably should have thought longer but i feel like i should just go because king is still stuck in the center and his knight is stuck here too so i just pre-move it's a safe pre-move okay i guess i go f6 because i can always block with a bishop so you have to go back just scoot with the king out of the way maybe rook h1 next move should be very good for me doesn't really worry me let's just go here again gonna go knight g5 and rook h7 and just saw some on the h pile okay does that well first of all i can play rook h8 which wins or should win let's just take i think rock h8 is almost winning by force here so the pin wait this must be winning okay let's just go hmm let's go here it's gonna have to go back and then maybe i go bishop h6 yeah let's go here now he's also got no time does that do i just well first of all i rock hate i'm just trying to go over some weird oh wait but i just so i have checkmate in one here okay there's a dub good win makes up for the last one basically the same spot we were in before i ruined history can i keep my streak alive so it basically will offset it same as what i lost before basically take that as a win and you know and loss for him same thing let's go c3d4 he runs the clock down actually you know running the clock down is a big mistake for bortnick there unless he really thinks the tournament is over like if bortnick doesn't think he can come back and win enough games i understand running it down but he actually shouldn't run it down from from the math percentage because there's a lot to play for so i think that's just a fundamental mistake actually by by bortnick there like even if he's salty he shouldn't run it down let's go here knight c4 maybe okay i go a5 let's just go bishop g5 hit the pawn i think your chest with ovie for the tier one sportsza with the prime initial position with the prime tj heezy as well thinking so uh there's a pawn do i penny pin pin him i do i think so i can take i can also take and go d6 or d6 right away let's just take and go d6 now i have this fork i also have a check i also have a smothered mate in coming as well i can also just check here i can play f no f4 is not what i want to do um don't really want to do it but i'll play it because i think it's the best move because now my knight jumps to e6 and i should be much better here objectively let's go here he resign whoa why did he resign that's a weird resign good start so far the very very good start off off to the races let's go e4 and everyone else behind me lost their streak so if i win this game i'm gonna be um i'm gonna be i'm gonna be racing it up here let's go here plays this interesting let's just go here i guess i've actually i don't remember this line it's a weird line let's play e5 okay he's playing this a very weird manner he's gonna go g4 just castle i guess kind of confused by this whole line i think i'm gonna go here and i feel like i've misplayed this but whatever i'm gonna go here and maybe knight b5 that's my idea at least whoa i did not expect that that's a shocking move i guess i'll go back in 92 maybe i also have knight b5 maybe very confusing opening here in this game there's f6 i'm gonna go here to hit the queen maybe c3 here to consolidate i think i stay on this diagonal for the scope probably not sure if it makes sense but i think it's right add please you want another ad fine there's your ad last out of the day or maybe i'll run one more but that should be it okay let's see i just take i could have taken two why don't i just take you can take what i just take and i move the king and i take the bishop on e7 and it should be winning thank you for the ad well you asked for an ad i think i'm more than fish for the prime i'm hitting this i have knight h2 should be pretty cleanly winning okay he goes ooh do i have rook f7 oh he's rook h2 or something okay let's go here i want to go here so badly but he had some yeah he sees it oh that is so sad how do i get my knight in though my night's a little bit let's just go um let's just go here i guess hit the pawn it was e5 logical move i think i'm gonna try to attack the rook maybe from here i definitely can't take as soon as bishop gets really active but i should be winning here thank you to ashley for the prime thing to beat brt fk for the three months thank you so much that's a bad move i think because i think i can just go here to trade the queens this there just go here and force the trade of rooks because i can go bishop five at the end okay now i should be much better let's just go here trade the rooks again i have one extra juicer it will matter do i go here maybe knight f5 hit the rook hit the pawn he has d3 but i just take let's take and now now i just won the game hopefully i'll resign soon because this is just lost okay just take the pawn just bring the bishop back no need to get creative here check and that's game over there we go that'll end it we'll get another win up to 38. i think that mirror c for the four months and so much to play renato let's play e4 plays this g5 liner remember this is not great for black i don't remember this being correct though i think was it checker knight i think it's check and takes in b4 might be three maybe maybe rookie one i know this isn't supposed to be great for black but again i need to not move too fast i'm feeling this inclination to like blitz my it's moves okay i'll go here and maybe c4 d4 i go 94 so i'll pre-move queen b2 let's go here it's got e5 oh it's got e5 let's go here we'll go here maybe i had bishop c1 to hit the pawn moving too fast because rick d8 i'm gonna go here trying to line up something maybe knight c3 knight d5 here let's go here i guess i'll go b5 maybe a4 i guess i'll play a5 and a6 it's getting actually very wild i don't know why i played this opening this is insane both players have like pawn masses going up the board because there i mean i think i'm going to go here and take let's go here cuz i can take i mean if i get this check i'm doing very well it's a very weird position 95 i feel like i should have some c7 c5 maybe let's go c7 i also have b6 maybe do i go c5 or not as a question i think i'm gonna go c5 here let's go b6 it's getting very wild here so i can also take with a knight or the pawn takes that way i think i just i feel like i should wait do i c6 wait let's take do i have c6 and b7 even queen a4 queen d5 i feel like i have something here i'm not seeing it though oh there's got to be something is it knight before i'm gonna go knight b4 so i have c6 here maybe pawns are really massing because there if c60 takes i mean maybe i just have to make a draw or something but i don't really want to make a draw okay let's go back it goes there oh maybe i've never seen when he just takes c6 c7 284 queen d5 d3 rook d3 takes check takes takes maybe now let's go for this might not work but i'm going to go for it it takes i'm going to go check take some it takes i have a checkmate and i have so many pawns that i trust i'm winning somehow so many past pawns towards the other board okay good shot can i take because he's getting mated i'm all starting to make another queen she goes king eight assume i just take this take this i mean wait but this doesn't work i just check and make another queen i also have a check and maybe oh i have a force made actually like king h596 and that's checkmate the king got stuck that's the classic made from the game between huni and spika in the tsm video or not quite but close closely sko e4 let's go here okay let's go i guess let's go let's go here again in castles everybody's playing this line nowadays you don't have to explain such trivialities to chat right thank you to foxbox for the six months thank you so much appreciate it i'm on a good clip though i mean 100 is going to win basically it's like 90 ish is what i need to to win for sure you mean number three is bond cloud nakamura wait what is this i just check let's just go here let's go here i have bishop g6 coming next move okay resigns let's keep going to eddie cab dub for the prime tech level zero for the prime thank you so much you guys appreciate it okay let's play x barely let's go g6 i want to get over that 50 mark this is h4 i'll play h5 here hi hi carl how do i become better that's a joke right benjamin you're just trolling me you must be trolling me benjamin right surely you're trolling i assume okay stick with the knight let's go here queen c7 just castle oh he's got bishop h6 maybe i did give him this hmm i'm gonna play e5 i don't know if it's right but i'm gonna do it and we'll take no serious i mean trust the pro trust in whatever the process is basically is what i would say i'm gonna go d5 and open up the center of the board very soon if i can probably not yet let's go here going d5 next move got to open up the lane for the or the diagonal for the bishop so let's go d5 just open open up everything i think the worlds for the two months thank you so much maybe rook d5 was better there don't know wait what's this f oh he's got it's got queen c3 kind of annoying actually like really annoying maybe i just blunt dir der dird let's take he's got knight f6 don't love it but i can still go rook d8 maybe maybe just queen c4 i feel like i oh he's got queen e3 what am i doing i gotta slow it down i'm moving way too fast right now let's go here try moving way too fast in this game trying trying to get over that 50 mark too quickly okay i'm i'm happy he did this however because now i think i'm gonna go here and work d4 hit the pawn and come back and probably a draw with correct play but i'm definitely i definitely have chances to win can also go here maybe let's go here bring the rook over let's go here with c6 maybe okay now i should have winning chance if i play this correctly let's go h4 and g5 maybe maybe i should have gone rook d6 first okay let's go here let's go here so there's no rook d8 rook d4 because the pawn holds for this let's go check and take and now now it's over thank you to x032 for the prime what is this whole tempo and tango thing everyone's talking about i don't understand it resigns let's keep going really putting on put it putting putting up the heat on everybody where's bortnick even well i don't even see boarding on twitter did warning just quit after i beat him i think boarding might have just quit after i beat him yeah i think bornick just quit after i beat him because i don't see bortnick anywhere he he quit after he lost me that second game yeah tempo was due as an excuse for why i was so good at beating levy tempo what you guys are trolling right you guys are i hope you're trolling i mean bornick should have 25 points by now and he doesn't oh he played 2500 and then tilted okay let's go here on bishop d5 i guess tempo let's go here oh i just blundered shoot why did i do that he's got c4 or something yikes i didn't even see that oh yeah okay let's go here and here i just blundered i got careless let's go here i'm in really bad shape this might be really bad for me he said he drives the ford tempo yeah i'm sure that's what i see the funny thing is my opponent has a draw here with knight b7 but i'm doing so well that i don't mind to draw here even though i'm not happy with the draw let's take he's got this too yeah this is actually really bad for me potentially i guess i'll trade and go here try to try to activate my bishop his knight is really good but also it could be very bad because the bishop dominates it kind of this is probably bad for him but it's looking more and more promising this would be one strange okay let's go h6 looking to play g5 here maybe bishop e5 even starting to unwind this let's go here not so unhappy now my position is in quite a bit if i get knight g695 i'm very much in the game now although i did allow that which was not smart hmm let's go here and take i guess still feel like i'm moving too fast that's a mistake or no he's got rook b6 still shoot so stupid okay let's go here and now i just want a knight of seven two at least i cover the square i think i can still draw this a draw is fine because i get an extra point for a draw not happy about it but i can live with it especially the rook a7 coming up let's go oh not rook here cause then i hang rookie six i have to be careful let's go here maybe i go f3 i guess d6 okay let's think about how i want to play this maybe i just go i have to be very careful how i play this you seven [ __ ] before checking me two 57 loses okay maybe i go here he's got what bishop e4 or something wow he's got this move oh my gosh unreal and he even spotted it let's go here in here you oh so bad it was just a draw i should be able to draw so he doesn't have time it's actually a draw i think with the correct play i'm pretty sure this is just a draw yeah it's just a draw it's okay draw is not great but i can live with it i can live with a draw there i think i get a point right yeah i get i get one point so i can live with that just keep going let's go g6 let's go here want to win this game quickly though oh the 1100's in first right i mean right now yeah but that's totally a meme account like he can't he can't win the event so i'm not really that concerned about him at the moment let's just take and go knight of five or 96 maybe let's take let's go here no i mean this guy is totally meaning he can't he can't win a prize so i'm really not worried about him i go here let's go i guess i go here it's actually a little bit weird i have to be a little bit careful let's go here i guess in rook c8 uh why can't he win a prize because um he's it's obviously a meme account let's go here bishop which means he's also not streaming and he's also not an affiliate on chess.com so there are several reasons
let's go here and takes why did i do that okay that was insane to me let's go here i'm still going to win the game i think but man i made a total mess out of this and saying what i just did wait what is that wait first of all i can take okay three c six and somehow i can't win what is this let's go e5 close the diagonal important that i close this diagonal here okay now i should be winning oh wait i can just take let's take let's go here queen a4 maybe okay now i just take and i just won the game i mean it's not a legitimate account obviously when you look at the name xcc is playing gta v right now can't be him yeah it can't be xqc yeah let's go here of course let's go here i guess i'll go here in b4 and d3 maybe let's go d3 oh he just slipped okay now i go to knight five and he gave me a gift let's take um i guess i'll just go back no need to get creative here especially with knight h4 lurking in the wings i'm going to check in f4 maybe he can't take because of the fork if he takes i just take the knife wait i can um no let's just take and go here let's take the pawn bring the knight in should be a pretty clean one let's go d4 oh i blundered that actually whoops let's go here okay let's go here to hit the night i actually made a blunder now it's it's still winning but it's very tricky let's go here knight d3 i guess it's a free pawn let's take okay let's keep going i think i sent teresa for the two months let's play oh we got exotic princess not a happy pairing here i should actually play slower i'm playing this i'm playing this game like i'm playing some 2500 i don't know why i'm moving so fast here but i guess i'm moving so fast i might as well keep moving fast yeah this is joe baba yeah he's um yeah i i don't know why i'm just moving way too fast and it's really no good reason for it does this interesting look let's go here i mean i can play a3 i'm gonna go d4 knight here here's c5 maybe sharp position okay let's go here and take i can also play b4 this is probably wrong but i really i feel a strong urge to play it so i'm just gonna do it even though i'm pretty sure it's a bad move let's go here because now he's got problems with all his pawns kind of takes interesting did not expect that okay let's take i still feel like i'm moving too fast but it's complicated there's rook d8 i think i'm just gonna move my king i don't know which square is right but i'm gonna go to h2 could have gone to h1 one square is right one square is probably wrong can i tell jose mvp to quit crying what on earth is that even in reference to let's go here and just open it up oh why didn't i go knight c oh no it's if i was no good actually or wasn't no maybe it was oh i also have takes knight c3 i just realized and that's really good i didn't even see that on first glance but yeah he takes now i go here and he's in really bad shape because there's a there's a fork and there's all kinds of other bad stuff going on here okay we're looking pretty good here i mean another win and we're we're in really good shape like i said i think i think 90ish is a guaranteed okay take so i take so he takes i've rook b1 of course i just take why not drop the juicer back his pieces are kind of discombobulated here i mean i can even just i can go f5 even actually do i go caveman yeah let's go f5 let's just go all in for the kill yeah it's just down in exchange but i mean it's just basically lost here he's probably going to resign it would be nice if he resigns and doesn't run it down but he's probably gonna run it down here yeah he's gonna run it down few more wins yeah probably like five or six more and it should be over but it's not over yet definitely not um uh running it down okay okay we're gonna play benjamin okay i kind of want to take it seriously do i play the b feeder probably not i should be more okay it's gonna play this one okay okay let's do this one i should have played knight bd7 so i don't actually normally play this line it's a little bit dubious i don't know why i played this line this is definitely not the best line i think knight a6 is correct if i remember this line correctly wait is this right there's also 96 intakes let's just i know this is wrong but i'm still gonna play it this is not correct but i'm huh it's peculiar move let's go here and take i'm trying to win this game which is why i'm playing such dubious stuff normally i wouldn't play this way but i i'm not going to draw the game i mean i have here in bishop a3 at least that's my idea he goes 94. so basically he gives me this opportunity to to double up everything okay let's go i'm gonna go here i think that's probably just stupid it doesn't do anything let's go here i've worked e4 and rook d8 as an idea i mean i think i can also just play like don't want to go a5 and b6 i think i do go c5 now that's a surprising move to me like very surprising i did not think that was a good move because 96 i can take there's bishop f5 there's also rook b8 i think c5 was a little bit dubious can i go over b8 play b6 um i think i actually want to move my king out of the way at b6 at some moment maybe okay let's go b6 here i was worried about f5 maybe i shouldn't have been but i was not playing this wall though that's for sure let's just bring the bishop back oh i've got tricks with rook b3 here now aha aha i have tricks i really want to take and trick him somehow but there's no good trick weirdly is there really no trick here it feels like there should be hmm i feel like there should be a trick okay let's just take and maybe go here i've got knight c5 and it's just a draw he's thinking a long time i mean i probably can flag him not happy with the way this game has gone because i really would rather just beat him on the board but sometimes flags are flags he's probably gonna take with a knight because there are there could be tricks here i'll hold bishop five in case he doesn't okay yeah see i knew he would do this now now peter's out into what should be a draw i'm gonna try to draw it this way um the thing is while this is probably a draw how easy is this to draw if i go rook f8 probably very easy but i still don't mind it's a flag as a flag it's also actually is not an easy drop white's actually quite a bit worse here let's go here because you can't go here okay this is actually quite a bit worse it's there but now i go here let's go here in here it should be winning actually now it's just lost i go here in g4 just run the king back around and it's pretty routine let's go here okay we got the dub keeper moving on thank you to x collate for the seven intact map for the three thank you so much appreciate it thank you let's go here at d6 i think the caico for the prime minister's caico let's play e5 just take i think frozen events for the prime yeah negative talent right i'm such i have negative talent in life right i'm the one with negative talent even though he couldn't draw a pretty routine end game let's go c6 and knight f6 next move i'm gonna play b5 maybe a5 let's go knight b6 here i can take play bishop e6 well actually no what he said was he he said that um he said that like magnus people like magus carlson who are normal that was actually the words that he used he basically said i'm not normal and magnus carlson is normal that's what he actually said he he basically said normal people like magnus carlson and maxime and so forth that's what he said let's go here but yeah i mean if magnus is normal you guys if magnus is normal hey what can i say i mean i don't know what normal means in this world if magnus is normal guys only the world champion only like number one rated player in this world at 17. if that's normal man i gotta say yeah being the world champion is normal if magnus is normal and everyone is messed up couldn't agree more yeah i'm just gonna go a6 and consolidate i guess i don't even know if i need to but i feel like i'm coasting a little bit now i've got i've got pretty good positioning let's go here let's go rook a b8 i have b4 at some moment i'm gonna take this way i don't know i could take him the other way too but i don't know what was right he's trying to trade queens i don't actually have to they can go here for magnus is normally world champion no i haven't won 64 games i have 64 points um so i'm looking pretty good if i win like four more games i think i'm gonna win this thing uh pretty chill be more humble oh i'm plenty humble actually like trust me why do you resign maybe just he knows he's gonna get flagged that's weird but okay let's keep going okay we're we're we're we're in the crew we're in cruise control three more and i think i i think we've got this locked up so soon to focus play three more good games of chess even though i'm already i'm already losing a lot of points oh his connection oh oh i didn't see his connection bar that's unfortunate actually that's pretty unfortunate hmm that's pretty that's pretty unfortunate i'm gonna go a5 i don't know if i need to probably i'm gonna see on fiance the bishop or fianchito as we like to say it here actually since we just played um since we just played against um since we just played against uh benjamin i'm going to start you saying fianchito in honor of mr negative talent in life mr xqc let's go h6 guess i'm gonna go here maybe c6 maybe knight c5 oops i did it again let's go hear me rook d8 okay knight b3 is logical but i think i just trading loses the juicer in the center and now i think i'm going to win this game too thank you mtb chris for the eight months thank you fianchito let's bring us back c5 e4 is just so bad oh let's just keep rolling with the pawn i have c5 maybe i'm gonna go c5 and c4 maybe i also bishop h4 which is tricky do i go c4 and do i take i think i'm just going to take and line them up with this i guess i have queen d5 here just line it up i'm gonna laugh if he resigns too i don't think he will but i i would i would find it pretty funny if he resigns it's not completely lost it's pretty bad though oh is he gonna run the clock down all the way oh is he really running it down he's running it down mid here i think he is actually this this dude's running it down mid he's running it down mid totally okay okay let's keep going i should go pro no man it's much easier just play chess and have fun like who wants to deal with the stress of you know having to prepare like five hours every day traveling the world like you know one loss cost you like twenty thousand dollars who wants to deal with that man when you can sit back you can chill have a beer play chess online entertain the masses i mean come on who who wants to play chess professionally that's just like that's too much man it's just too much i mean nobody wants to do that let's go c3 that's good um i'm gonna go here this is a very slow game i can obviously trade i don't even know if i want to go f3 do i want to play a slow slow grind i'm down on the clock let's go f3 no i'm trolling obviously i'm trolling you guys think about the three buckarones thank you for the three bucks appreciate it i got to be a little bit careful though thank you to tdr infinity for the prime thank you so much um i'm just gonna um i don't like my position actually i'm just yeah let's go here i got to move quicker i'm moving way too slowly i thought i had g4 it's very bold to play this without actually calculating but i feel like this queen is getting stuck it's not though i'm an idiot it's not getting stuck stuck i'm a total i'm total [ __ ] here's just this queen h4 let's go here and i'm also moving way too slowly as well okay let's take let's go here bishop one i guess some idea i can probably still draw this i might even just offer oh he goes h5 which kind of weirdly almost boxes in his queen here oh i've gotten he's got queen h4 dude you're you have queen h4 why do you resign that's just one of those days i guess everyone's seeing sing sing uh sing sing weird stuff okay i'm gonna play this french again i thought my position was good i mean i don't believe this yeah i just don't believe what he did that's castle okay let's just take and go like here i mean i just don't believe in this okay let's go here let's go here let's go here this is all all standard i go do i take taking is also an option here which i think i do take sub knight of five i wonder why i didn't do this originally why did i do this in the first game very strange of me let's go here my goal is simply not to lose this game if i don't i mean i don't know how he's got what 41. vornix probably on a streak some uh he's on a five-game streak so he's like very far out but anything can happen as we know i think i'm gonna play c6 here consolidate my structure and go knight f5 maybe b5 knight c4 too guess i'll go here and just trade who's rookie once i'll take um hmm he's willing to take doubles two sets of double pawns probably it's not that bad objectively i'm gonna go for something a little bit dubious with g6 here because i feel like i'm winning this event so i'm going to take some risks here try uh oh i don't have rookie i have to go here maybe i'm going to take some risks trying to create counter play in this game even though i probably shouldn't be i mean i actually i don't know why i am let's go here just go here i guess i think i have 96 in rookie eight i got to be a little bit careful i'm being i'm too being too too chill about this whole thing okay let's go rook d8 because both knights are kind of bad so it's like the bishop versus this knight he doesn't want to trade obviously but now i can go 96 i thought because there's no queen d6 takes i just come back okay logical i can play rookie 8 maybe i guess i just go 27 maybe this queen e7 it's just a draw i mean he has g5 f5 but i always have f5 and i think it's just fine now i can try knight b7 do i really want to try to win as a question i don't have to i kind of want to though because of where my ratings at this might even be a big blunder somehow but he goes f4 be careful yeah i probably should not have done this i don't really know why i'm trying to win exactly because let's go here knight d8 i guess let's take well there's no queen c7 oh yeah i almost thought he had queen c7 but i just escaped so primo queen takes if i get the knight to f7 i'm probably just better i have knight f7 here do i go knight of seven or i think well i have to stop checkmate obviously let's go i can go knight d6 and probably draw king f1 yeah probably a draw is fine here i why why do i feel this need to go insane i'm going to try to go insane i don't even know why but i'm going to try okay goes there yeah that's kind of insane to me i don't know why i did this exactly let's go here and here still just a draw though after we trade time is a little bit dicey too just realized actually why didn't i oh no it was my mcqueeny one queen one was a move there actually i didn't do it i mean he kind of has to take he doesn't take i mean he's also moving way too slowly now though way too slowly here just take i o i have queen d8 here wait no then bishop seven oh this is tricky wait let's go here and hit the pawn actually this isn't tricky i'm just winning knight f5 is just winning the game kind of with knight g4 also so i didn't come up he's got no check so wait okay he's got no timeless chef so here threatening checkmate in one checkmate there we go next game i think thank you to sarah for the prime guys drunk for the two months thank you so much appreciate it because keep going knight c3 let's go e5 maybe knight f3 okay we're gonna have this again let's go um let's go here castle i can obviously just play a3 ben saying i played badly well you know the funny thing is if you're actually not trolling and ben said that the thing is his rating is much lower and i kind of have to do random dubious stuff to try and win these games more ads in a youtube video so much yeah i'm sorry you guys i told you i'm behind on ads this month and it you know come april 1st we'll be back to regular but i kind of have to unfortunately i'm just way behind i'm sorry it's just i mean it's just what it is let's go here i mean i'd rather not but i just i don't have a choice as i think i told you guys because bishop e4 now obviously take i think i'm just going to play here okay it goes there i'll go here and target the pawn um i can take the knight or the pawn i'm just gonna take this pawn i don't know if it's right but it makes sense and his bishop looks really good but his bishop is is actually pretty bad too many ads i know there's too many ads but it's just for right now is that because you don't run ads when you're away at the tournaments uh ads are run but generally not it's i mean you really don't want to go away from the action during those events just go here and trade yeah not enough ads i've been here 40 minutes i don't have any ads cool cool let's go here i'm gonna go why is he why is everybody just resigning they need taylor's deathwing for the prime thank you so much why is everybody just resigning let's go e4 just going to gamble here i guess they don't want to play against me i guess but man it's boring let's go here because it's you that's why okay just take and let's just i mean i don't know just d3 and castles they have bird a boy for the five and was it radre for the three months thank you so much let's just go i don't know there's so many options i'm just gonna do this one maybe um i'm gonna go here try to put pressure maybe he can maybe grab i don't know if he can but i don't really care i'm just gonna go queen d2 and hit the pawn on on um on f4 actually it's got knight h5 that's a good move let's go over broke with d4 now takes i have d5 and rookie one and all kinds of bad stuff okay it does take so let's go rookie one i realized my pawn on eight okay d5 95 i just take oh he's got knight b8 i still feel like i should have a lot of piece play here though on the diagonals new carb runner for the for jim horton's for the two months thank you so much appreciate it okay let's just go a3 i think the idea is i want to stop him if he tries to bring the knight in this way it was knight of six i mean i feel like i should just be much better here better maybe too strong but i mean he's got no development whatsoever on his king side now i cut the knight it's stuck he doesn't work e8 though let's go here okay let's just take and take again bad knight bad bishop i have two bishops it's not ideal but it should be fine let's take and go here hit this coming around the back to gobble b7 as well also bond cloud didn't win so it looks looks like a very likely victory i'm just going to go here and just go for this this should be winning somehow hmm okay let's go here and try to trade some knights okay so if i take check i just come up and then i take an eye queen so i take um let's go here let's try to use the double op combo and just win the game let's go here bring the knight in as well a lot of pressure so here i take bring my king up let's go here target the target the knight i have d7 maybe i can also just take and now the double op pair just just wins the game basically up to 88 pretty close to a winning score let's go c6d5 let's go here let's go here two knights versus two bishops yeah let's go here i'm going to go for g5 it's not best we're going to win this event so i feel like having fun now maybe i do i have knight f4 here knight g2 and rook g8 or something i don't know it's actually good but it's maybe an idea wow he takes okay so wait so what's going on if i take g2 oh let's just go for it i'm gonna win this event oh i could have played rook g893 maybe could have gotten a better version maybe of this okay so i take the thing is i'm threatening check so i don't know what's going on here maybe maybe i hear i could have played rook g8 first anyway what did he do he plays bishop b1 and i'm losing probably because i didn't even see bishop b1 um let's go check in h5 h4 maybe if knight f3 i just take if knight f1 i can go like queen g4 maybe an h4 page four i just taken okay just see it just go over i misplayed this let's go here maybe h4 g8 or though maybe i didn't misplace if it goes king h1 h4 knight f1 i have rook g8 he's getting mated on these two squares a lot of pressure okay h4 knight h5 would just come up and hit the knight knight h1 rook g8 and it's the same problem he's two mates and i don't think he can cover both no actually he can but he doesn't find the right way he goes knight h5 can i just go here because he's losing this bishop okay i just take now first of all i can take the bishop and i think i just do i just move the king and i just win i have not played eric yet no i mean it's been a pretty soft fill i played boarding a couple of times early but it's been a pretty pretty slow event i mean it hasn't been super super hyped to be honest it's been pretty slow yeah i mean i'm going to hit 100 points like i don't even know what my max is but like i'm getting in a lot of extra games so we're going to get well over 30 games in this which is pretty nuts like i'm probably gonna have like 32 games probably like five more games at least which is really insane i'm gonna try to win five more try to see if i can get into like well into the double digits like 120 ish it's gonna be my goal he does this now i go here 95 and it gets very sharp why does levy never play uh levi does play title tuesday thank you nash be a luke for the four months thank you so much c5 this is not correct but i don't remember why i'm going to take and go here at dc5 and they're supposed to play rook d8 first let's go here if takes i just take 120 is what that would be two more is 100 if i keep the streak alive so 104 108 112 is gonna be my target 112 is my target i want to win five games in the next 20 minutes probably i won't but i want to okay queen e5 is actually a very good move that i didn't even see do i have d6 i can obviously take let's go here let's go here hit the bishop c3 i'm definitely not gonna win five now because even though i'm winning here this is gonna take a lot of time off the clock to win fifth hour of waiting for hikaru to play smooth operator okay so the operator smooth criminal i think you mean smooth criminal right there you go wait there we go one wrong one okay let's go here in c3 oh smooth operator oh okay okay there you go let's go here target the pawn guess i'll go here now maybe rook c7 is an idea target of the night target the pawn let's take we trade now i dominate the knight no jumps you can go this way but i can go c4 let's go here target the knight i'm gonna go for a kebab with rick d7 or i can do this this must be winning also i can play g4 i think it's just winning too many pawns here and his knight is dominic's videos here i go here hazel rad for the prime thank you so much to hazelrod appreciate it thank you operator so four more and eighteen i don't think i'll get four i'll probably get three and if i win i'll get three for three for sure if i play well but i don't think i'm gonna get four in the great thing is i've also lost i mean naturally i've lost um lost a good chunk of points already which is very impressive too i've already lost um i've already lost like oh no i haven't i've only lost like four points i guess but i've lost rating points in this in this arena kings for sure okay i guess i can just i'm gonna do something weird i'm gonna give him a check and just run my king out let's run the king out manually castle and bring the rook to the center i look sleepy no i actually feel pretty good but it's been a long stream let's sidestep this threat i can play h i think i should actually because i i have tricks with bishop g4 also i think a good neighbor for the eight month thanks so much appreciate it no i think my position is actually quite okay here i'm not that concerned um let's go here hit the queen he might even have to sack can i have some trick with this i think i did but knight g5 would just go f6 oh i've got to be wait let's go here hit the queen i've got to be very careful with how i play this oh i'm up two points oh yeah i must have my rating wrong i thought it was like 32.50 or something at the start
let's go here kingdom 7 next move and now the bishop's in the way so he can't sack the queen like the bishop was here so he had a checkmate threat um with rook takes bishop but now i put the bishop in the way and i move my king up like now the bishop's here versus hero so if he takes takes it's blocked he doesn't have this uh queen of seven idea anymore blame david howell for the point shop yeah yeah it's all good okay let's just take go here in rook d8 let's go here probably just rookie 8 trade some rooks pretty good stuff let's just take let's go here let's target the knight maybe bishop b8 is an idea as well he goes c4 so i'll take i really want to find some way to just okay i guess i'll just go b5 and open up open up this position let's go here check check here actually rook b1 is bishop d1 so i don't want to do that but the rook is more powerful than the bishop here too much uh two too many lines now i just run this one up the board and it should be game over actually let's go here on bishop a5 maybe let's go here now i'm starting to run the pawn let's go here let's go here i want to stop king ju once the only thing he has is pushing this pawn so as long as i can keep the rook where he can't target it i'll switch check and take okay let's try to win three more in the next 14 minutes if we can i mean i can still win three whoa they need to chew for the raid with 501 thanks so much chew for the raid appreciate it hope everybody's coming from choose sherman's having a good afternoon or good evening or good morning wherever you are in the big wide world we are playing arena kings we're winding it down here um 13
