There's a lot less blank staring in these lower level games, there's chat interaction, and there's intense decision-making. Obviously it's fine for higher-level players to take their games more seriously, but yeah, it's fun to see some entertainment too. It also helps that this tournament has amazing commentary.

12:01 Why not h7xg6?

@@therealcrustymusty cuz its the highly advanced Ludwig variation. Stockfish 21 sees bishop to e6 as the best move, eventually leading either to a perpetual or a mate 60. In the end, Ludwig's memory failed him and he did not remember the line.

I dont mind watching lower ranked players play, and I think getting people introduced to chess is a good thing. However, I cant understand how people donate to these streamers. Not a single one of them was entertaining. All they seem to do is act annoying to attract a child minded audience.

@@fomori2 i'm asking myself how these dudes can even have followers. Respect for Hikaru and Alex, but why a stupid 16 years old boy Like me can see what Will happen in 3/4 moves After a check and these dudes can't see neither that a rook in H8 Will hang After Just ONE CHECK?

Nice name bro

@@someonewithoutaname8866 you too, bro

HAHAHSAAAAAAAAA

Bollocks. He’s just shite

I think psychologically it's something to do with the fact that pawns only forwards whereas the other pieces move both forwards and backwards. Because of that your mind can trick you into thinking that the queen is behind the pawn instead of in front of it. Although I wouldn't normally get confused in the middle game like this. There's been situations where both players have pushed their pawns up the other end of the other board so it looks like they're starting from the opposite side, and I actually forgot which side of the board I was playing on ;) Ludwig is totally right about his reason for not seeing it either. You don't expect your opponent to make such a bad move, so you simply don't acknowledge it as a possibility. I've even seen Hikaru get confused when doing puzzles in puzzle rush, he forgets which way the pawns move sometimes, even though it should be obvious they always go from bottom to top. Because he's so used to viewing the board from his opponent's perspective, he sometimes forgets which perspective is his and which is his opponents' Another weird visual blunder is that people often miss when a bishop can move backwards to do a long distance capture. They _always_ see it when the bishop is moving forwards.

When both players miss a super obvious move (like pawn captures queen) it’s referred to as “double blindness”. In blitz chess with lots of time pressure, it can happen to even high-ranked players.

It even happens to the very best. I'm not sure what, when, where or against whom the game was, but Hanging Pawns has a video on blundering less, where Tigran Petrosian, who was an incredibly strong grandmaster, has a winning position in a very important game, I think it was a World Championship game and then proceeds to blunder his queen and then resign within a move or two.

@@dhirajpallin2572 Yes it's much easier to miss things on computer than on the board. It's a bad visual representation.

Papaplatte is the german xqc. Sometimes his brain works slow.😆

Failing to take the queen with his pawn made me start writing my will

@@WaterYaDune 🤣🤣

@@WaterYaDune I'm amazed at why he didn't do that, since I don't know anything about chess I thought there must be a rule that you can't do that or something.

@@airstrike9002 he didnt see it, he was thinking about all the moves PapaPlatte has and when he moved his queen, which he did not expect he just got like a brainfreeze and just did not even look at his pawn

I can't believe people are taking this seriously. Ludwig clearly threw the game, he mentioned wanting to just get the easy money/content from the loser's bracket before. Hikaru could tell something was off from the start, and he was certain after Lud ignored the Queen blunder. You can see the disappointment in his eyes throughout the game, both with the competitive spirit being compromised, and the BM to papaplatte. The League term he thought of was "inting", meaning intentionally losing, and you can see Hikaru's awkward responses whenever Botez talks about how it's a weird game, or whether Ludwig can win. I actually lost a lot of respect for Ludwig from this, when you see how hard his opponent was trying and how much the win meant to him, and you know he didn't even respect him enough to think he could possibly win if they both tried.
