Best Chess Moments Of 2022 

What was your favorite moment of 2022?

The best chess moment of 2022 was when chess exploded and chess got a lot more attention globally.

8:30 bro ding is like that one kid who no one talks to and he gets the highest score in the finals

10:00 the fact that hansen waited 5 secs bcuz of bornik's daughter is whole some

Hikaru’s face reactions are 30% of the highlights😂

Ending the year off with magnus's hair taking over the world. Beautiful

6:25 this made my day 😂😂😂😭

8:29 this was the best moment for me

The greatest moment for chess is when you say you play chess to a stranger and they dont immediately think youre a nerd that stays at home for days. I mean theyre right but at least they dont think of it first

Ding just running away slowly is so awesome. 😂

0:04 literally everyone when magnus play a4/h4

Great compilation of great moments! Thanks!

9:30 fair play

Much needed video for chess community

its funny how Levy and Danya both refer to the "chat" as if it's some sort of an entertaining animal

that ending was gold!!

2:27 "...meanwhile, the white rooks harassing this black queen"

8:05 Here Wesley thought that he could castle while he was in check because he wouldn't be moving his king (fisher random) but sadly it's against the rules

Cool anyways here’s the recipe for brownies: * * Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a metal 9x9 pan with parchment paper. * Pour melted butter into a large mixing bowl. Whisk in sugar by hand until smooth, 30 seconds. * Add in eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk 1 minute. * Whisk in melted chocolate until combined and smooth. * Use a rubber spatula to stir in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined. Stir in whole chocolate chips. * Pour into prepared pan and smooth out. * Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Let cool in pan 30 minutes before slicing.

Hikaru always has the most expressive face ever since he was younger till now😂

8:41 he premoved in real life

Magnus vs. Hikaru in the SCC was amazing! Absolutely thrilling!

7:05 "You could see him breathe"

Awesome year for chess, but 2023 is already looking exciting!

This video is gold.

So much to cherish from year 2022.. mine was when I played with IM Eric Rosen and GM Hammer

Whaaaat.. no mention of Hans Magnus situation? No mention of Magnus vs Rapport blitz game, arguably the most memorable blitz game that will go down in history and the game of which Magnus himself said it is the most fun game he has played in years??

glad to see dubov here as well :)

Magnus and Hikaru, lmao. Hikarus faces and Magnus just being Magnus. This is a good timeline for chess.

what a move, my personal fav when magnus got two queens, and dang hikaru's face

Best upload! Ding!

Magnus with big hair and other GM's expression definitely got me there 😆😆

0:57 Levy blunders THE ROOOOOOOOOOK

0:54 Naroditsky screams because of the blunder but a few weeks ago I saw him playing rapid and blundered a queen lol

Not going to lie that ending made me laugh harder than I have for a long time, whoever thought that up needs a raise

When Frank activated the sizzling defense

Now that's a rewind

Love the fact that Levy blundered, not sacrifice

Seems like 2023 will be an even better year

Yes, I like seeing you play the bots, with deep analysis.

Danya is the man of the year.

The best chess moment was everytime someone used Magnus for a thumbnail

Lmao final clip was epic.

The words speak for themselves

Nepo hasn't the same smile after presse conference game 12 at Astana 😂

When Magnus came late and won

I made it. I'm in best chess moments of 2022. In the crowd watching that hair grow.

That was great, but the hair part was a blast

0:54 lol reference

Bing thinks, "there you go with the standard speech again", and he just leaves haha

I don't want Carlisen to retire, the Classic, or anything

best moments for one side and worst moments for the other lol

Ding needs to get some etiquette going. His etiquette rating is only 1500 😂

Looks like a big moment was forgotten :)

Bruh too good 😂

The fact that my twitch username appeared in the best moment of chess makes me happy 😊

Mangelic Magnus hair FTW

magnus growing is hair i i laughed

can someone explain the blunder here and what is wrong with white move 7:29

11:43 can someone explain why Hikaru won here? Magnus is clearly ahead, there's no stalemate and they both have plenty of time?

That stare!

2022 Candidates was one of the best with hikaru’s Vibes🔥

2022 is the year i was connected to chees most of my time. literally i was there in each n every single moment of the video. 2023 yh im kinda out from chess losing interest by time.

8:28 ding is dinging 🔥

Lol that's dirty from levy

I notice you didn’t put in an videos of Hans 👀👀👀

24 karat 50 pound trophy that may or not be accurate 😂😂😂 levyy mann😂

Ding is a gigachad

Alpha! Hans Nieman has escaped! Recruit a team of chess players with attitude! It's chessin' time! *all the pieces on the board form one super piece, and battle Hans Nieman, who goes back to Space Japan for another 27 years, until he hungers again*

Levy is cold goddamn

13:44 funny how i didnt remember seeing hair thats strange

Albreki finna be here

NOOO THE HAIR IM DYING

Can someone please explain 7:25 case? I don't see any blunders or unfair castle (yea sorry I know I'm bad at chess)

Magnus hair and likes growing fast like coronavirus cases

try to bring minister. hail the lord!

0:55 At this moment his sacrificed… THE ROO- oh nvm that’s just a blunder

The Magnus hair

These are great, but why did you kill Mittens? :)

love the memes. so fucking niche.

Hikaru was not impressed by that bongcloud.

6:13 how in the worrrrlllld do GM’s looks at a chess board pieces for 1femtosecond and shook their head with..” nahh.. gameover” I even have trouble analysing a chess board on Screen. Its crazy how fast their brain analyse

Magnus just wanted to finish the mate even though he lost to Hikaru on time.

Fix your website, it's always full whenever I have time to play.

Magnus announcing that he won't play the wcc and that the next one will be ding vs nepo didn't even make it in the recap

Why is there Antonio Gramsci in the thumbnail

Please bring back Mittens, it was a demon but deep inside everyone loved it

Wesley So deserved to win the CGC

8:30 Ice Cold.

What's wrong with f4 opening?

Somebody explain why Hikaru and my man in the white shirt was walking by making faces like that 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I need the link to the full video ASAP was his teammate losing or something??

You just got banned in our school, we play it in class all the time

More of these lmao, love to see Eric Hansen the sportsman getting credit as well!

Where is Hans Niemann?

I once beated chippy once

When Nepo crushed the candidates and then proceeded to get clapped by Magnus in the Championship

at 7:30 why did Wesley thought that King can still castle, I mean the king has moved no or is this chess960? and what is he talking about after that move?

And the new year started with me. Meow 🐱

Why was Hikaru so tilted when Duda played the Bongcloud lmao

3:34 bruh levy
