i watched this entire thing without realising it was made 30 minutes ago because this feels like a youtube classic that shows up every once in a while and everyone loves them
-
This is the wonderful type of video that accidentally destroys the data it was based on, as this will encourage people to try and be the first person (on Lichess) to do a doubly disambiguated bishop capture checkmate.
-
Super GM Hikaru Nakamura immediately made this happen after he saw the video
-
This reminds me of the longest death message in Minecraft.
-
Wait, hear me out! "Doubly disambiguated bishop non-capture stalemate "
-
The rarest move is me not blundering in bullet
-
Hikaru played both "doubly disambiguated bishop capture checkmate" & "doubly disambiguated knight capture checkmate" against a random in blitz just after watching this video. Very cool
-
Genuinely the most engaging chess video I’ve watched yet. I love it when people nerd about this stuff
-
Amount of doubly disambiguated bishop capture checkmates after this video: 📈📈📈
-
the right hand bandaged after getting struck by lightning is such a nice detail
-
Technically, we could add promotion itself to the complication. So bxa8=Q# would be a capturing pawn move with a queen promotion that causes checkmate.
-
This video was basically what was going through Doctor Strange’s mind during Infinity War.
-
I feel like the data after this video will forever skewed by people wanting to hunt for rare moves by working with friends
-
After watching your video, videos without the hands seem weirdly unexpressive
-
YouTube was aggressively recommending this video to me. Eventually, I decided to watch it and I’m really glad I did.
-
[Right hand gets struck by lightning] [Left hand takes over] [10:54 Right hand comes back with bandage] Nice touch of detail! :D
-
Just wait until all of these numbers spike after this…
-
See, the thing is, Eric Rosen is probably gonna see this and go hunting (given Rosen trophies)
-
I loved this minimalistic video style, centered the attention about the content and your content was AMAZING. I didn't even know such moves existed as a chess player
-
This is awesome, both the nerdy topic and the very structured way of trying to answer this question. I love this!
