Pokimane Learns to Attack With the London System 

@@ym276 thanks for the tip!

You can watch the video where Hikaru teaches fuslie the Lond System. That video is more helpful. He showed every possible variations.

Mi just chef the opponent's king and take the queen init

@@ym276 Or generally all of Eric Rosen's videos

No, pokimane is dumb

Everything else is a waste.

pop pop

nah, Hikaru should teach her how to JEROME'D

There is nothing to learn. But, you should really be better than your opponent to be playing it successfully. Otherwise you look stupid

@@Crazmuss Doesn't matter because with one arm you will always ensure you hit you clock with the same hand you moved your piece with.

@@Crazmuss These are the real questions.

Crazy to think we get an insight for free through these videos really.. we should feel blessed ❤️

His patient is insane honestly and his so humble

@@NoNo-to1pd Only people with a lot of patiance get good at chess

@@perssontm1628 Many people are great at X, but couldn't teach X if their life depended on it. Good teaching isn't that common, especially the ones that can't adapt to the many different ways people learn.

@Mr Right haha what? All top super GMs have youtube channels? sarcasm?

And he is not a simply "GM", he is a Super GM world champion.... Dayum.

Someone has seen the speedrun thumbnails xd

this proves that 1) cute is not a skill and 2) appearance is definitely not as everlasting as muscle memories :)

I feel like she tries to be cute and It rubs me the wrong way

@@thepudge6953 exactly. she is completely superficial. I had to stop watching after 9 minutes.

man that evl bar went nuts lmao

13:20

In his head: I am so bad at chess.

@@cock_sauce8336 and he always win afterwards.

@@adamstanisaw2892 Also most of times the eval bar apologizes.

Stephen Hawking was an average physicist.

@@supre107 compared to you he is god

@@supre107 Lol no.

Reminds me of when Hikaru first taught XQC, someone said it was like "wetting a stamp with a waterfall"

@@kyleangelocastro9460 Of course, Hawking was better than me at physics. However, that is not my point: Compared to other physicists, professors or elites in physics, he was an average candidate. And no, this very statement is not taken out of the air.

It easier to be patient when you are teaching a little cutie.

Well he is a gm and in tournaments he played in has a 1hou timer so ifc he'll be patient (sorry if its a joke and i didnt get it)

@@j-r-m7775 DEOWN BADD MY GUGY

They'd have to be pretty speedy. One trillion seconds is over 30 thousand years.

@@retrobanana8123 Every Mind adapts to the circumstances and gets bored pretty fast. If you are used to seeing dozens of moves per minute in speedchess everything else becomes "slowmotion". Of cause he is able to play stronger in OTB events, but I'm sure he gets bored with looking at the same positions for hours. So it's nice to see that he still can appreciate "slow" chess with others.

@@jpryan90 ahahahha yeah of course not. I just meant it as a little joke that’s all. :)

@zpth0z yes I know, I was making a joke

@zpth0z I was trying to make a funny :(

@zpth0z oh okay, my apologies

@@gabrielblazevic9679 you made a joke but it seems they have now sparked a discussion

I feel you my man london helped me go from 800 to 1300 and now I feel like a gangster

@@slayer_hazard8993 same here from 900 to 1300 and I got a tie against an FM playing it

@@KingWolfred yeh right, you drew against an FM at 1300??!

@@zaaxi7424 there is actually a line in london that forces a draw, so i dont think it is impossible

@@KingWolfred That FM must have had a heart attack at the keyboard, slammed his head into the mouse and accidentally hit the 'offer draw' button.

This is what Jerome would have wanted

It's all about castle privilege

beautiful

Laughed way to long at this

HAHAHAHAH i caught that

I cringed so hard

that was a tough watch 😂

You underestimate the focus of a GM when speaking about Chess

Simp

Honestly, the way he teaches, it is so helpful towards understanding what is happening. I don't know how much is actually retained, but holy shit does it show easy to understand ways to get a good perspective of the game. It still focuses on sequences and chess remains to be a lot of memorization, but the way he explains does feel like it helps with pattern recognition. It does make me fear for getting tunnel vision though.

My guess, in the nexxt 2 month

No

no

@@laluna6699 why weird

i think pewdiepie is the type of guy who would have the mindset of playing chess unlike some ........

chess players are very patient, they have to be.

@@user-zn2bl4xr5l yet you couldn't gather enough patience to setup a username?!! :D

@@shakkirptb Difference is, I don't care about a username for youtube. So I don't bother to set one up if I don't care.

Priorities come first.

yea bro i would have died how is he so patient

😂😂😂😂🙄

@@user-sk6kv7lu1b LOL

Wow Hikaru fits his name he must be saint 😃

My head is bleed I banged it to much at 33:03

lmao

Hikaru lookin mighty T H I C C 👀

Id smash hikaru

Down bad to earths core 😭

lol

"Here here here take take take" Hikaru

Agreed it’s honestly hard to listen to. Just say what you think, be right or be wrong, the whole point is to learn is it not?

I dont know if this is universal enough, but when i teach my girl peers about something, they kinda do that. My opinion is because the question asked is not specific enough, or they just don't want to be wrong, or the combination of that.

@@teletrikus Exactly.

Hikaru judges you with eyes and nods.

I think people forget how intimidating someone like Hikaru can come across. Pokimane learned chess two weeks ago, Hikaru became a Grandmaster at the age of 15 and is one of the best players in the world. Sure as viewers we don't see him because we already know him but this is her first interaction with him in front of 20,000 people

"paining" is the word of the day

prove it

@@coosoorlog Welp, gonna keep it there now XD

@@coosoorlog True, chat. When I see cringe, I'm technically "paining". 😫

Ah yes, paining the ultimate representation of my life as a painting

Hikaru

@@yet1monster facts 😏

just stop putting "hahaha" at the end of the sentence

LOL

@@delayedcreator4783 hahahahaha

DON'T DO MY MAN HIKARU LIKE THAT LOOOL

Justice for Levy

hikaru ain't a simp

dude i was just thinking that

He wouldn’t even be able beat pre intermediate (even a little below pre intermediate) players if he hasn’t played at all, well even if knows how the pieces move and only that he would get smashed. I understand this is a joke but even in the joke i think you can see you’re not familiar with different chess strengths but I could be wrong either way I’m just pointing out there are levels.

@@EIIlast2791 was a joke

@@vhp99 indeed it was, but I agree I would love to see him in pogchamps.

@@EIIlast2791 It was a joke. Of course (and Vindiya knows) he would be crushed by IMs when he first played. It doesn't mean Vindiya isn't famliar with chess levels, because, guess what, jokes don't have to actually be true. Please stop ruining jokes like that.

@@analuizafelixdesouza6336 well I’m not sure about that I just don’t think it’s that obvious you never know lol, I was just saying In case they didn’t know relax dawg. Okay so let me edit and tell you why it’s not so obvious that he didn’t know the levels, he says “big brain an IM” this could be evidence of him thinking an intelligent person could become good without studying principles in chess (which could indicate he doesn’t know how chess works because you really do need experience to get good) when in reality you need to spend time just booting up your pattern recognition by doing certain themes over and over and over (of course it’s not just pattern recognition but a lot of it is) so that’s why I thought it wasn’t so obvious. Now had he said “beat an IM” I would’ve been like “yeah lol” because it would’ve been more obvious he knows how it works and he’s just joking you know?.

The chat KekWing him after and him shaking his head at them is fantastic

I feel like even tho she is fine Magnus would be like "yo this is common sense lmaoooooo" 😂

Oh god this happened to my earlier, I am rated 1048 and I was playing with the london, and then I accidentally castled queen side, when my entire queen side was literal war, but I managed to counter attack on the king side and win two rooks.

@@rubytheminer9546 nice comeback win yesterday i want to bring my rook to the middle of the board and castled. It cost a king check mate

@@joshenadams2474 rip, if only mouse slips weren't a thing

Right so it’s like

More like painful

It's actually quite a basic principle to always capture towards the center if possible (or not blundering)

Yea there's a number of factors at play here. The main one is that it opens up the h-file for the rook which is very powerful in combination with the bishop. Also it makes whites pawns more central (which is generally a good idea) and it avoids pawn separation (after fxg3, the pawns on g2, g3 and h2 are on their own "island". It's best to not have many pawn islands) It would be a different story if the white king was already castles kingside. Then fxg3 would generally be better since it would open up the rook on the f-file whereas hxg3 would weaken the h-file and make the king more vulnerable

lmao

Hahahahahahaha

cause its a 1 on 1 conversation she can ask questions and that is not like that with levy or eric

Yeah she is annoying

Team Incel back at it again

Random reply to try and get this comment to the top lol😂....I just want an answer please

@@LiteDisc Fabiano is there and he is American, so I don’t think it’s that. Maybe he wasn’t invited, or decided to decline if he was?

LMAO = Look, My Ass Off

Because she cant keep up with his calculations, which is normal.

Yeah that is so incredibly frustrating when watching her play. Her instincts are actually rather good, but she is so afraid of making mistakes and doesn't even check 1 position in advance what the right move is.

SHE NEED ME

@@LordKeram you should watch the minecrafters play chess. my god it is tilting. they play decently high level chess, but really fucking slowly.

Poki plays more mindgames than chess.

He's an awful teacher and a phenomenal player.

@@CosyBrew No, he just has a bad taste when it comes to teaching students

Put your king on safety, develop everything, control the center, attack the king part

Joke?

@@ianerickson2210 casual's the word

Chess elitism and whatnot

She's not bad but Hafu really showed how it was done, her first video with Anna Rudolf pre Pogchamps 2 showed her going from absolute beginner to grasping the concepts without Anna having to even prompt her.

Simp

Lol, I don't really think you gonna get someone, an easier opening is ruy lopez if you want to try it, it's the most common opening

@@fos1451 Even easier than the London for a beginner? I'll give it a go if so

@@SamFran I thought it's the most simple opening for a beginner, just remember to not capture the knight even if you think it's a free pawn (because it's not)

freedom of speech The Ruy Lopez is one of the most complicated openings in chess. There are tons of sidelines black can throw at you. The London System is advocated for beginners since it sidesteps a lot of theory.

@@isayoldchap1 After spending the last two hours looking at it since it was recommended I'm beginning to realise that. Would the London be your suggestion?
