Hikaru: "Ng4 is completely winning" Levy in full sight of board: "omg you're right!" Hikaru: "wait there was no pawn on d5? Then Ng4 does nothing special, white has Qc2 or Qd1" WHOOSHH. Levy: "right, right, of course, yeah"

6:24 Hikaru has smiled upon the mate.

This is my favorite OTP. These guys are amazing friends with each other and they really enjoy supporting each other's works. I hope I find friends as good as these one day.

Oh man, title and thumbnail 10/10. I watched this stream, it was epic. Of all the chess streams I have watched in the past 5 months the concept of this stream was most interesting. Fisher 960 blindfolded was super fun. You should do this again after a few months. I have an idea for you, get Hikaru and Anish giri to play Fischer 960 blindfolded with you moderating the moves.

You introduced me to the chess world thank you for opening doors to me. It has helped me get through tough times and I appreciate that.

Thanks Levy... Please make Gotham guide part 2 .Those were really very instructive...🙏

Amazing videos can you make a 10 min vid on blackmar gambit

what a chess god. and here i am, looking and wondering where i placed my pieces on the board

Who wants IM levy vs hikaru ? Both of them blindfolded .

Using hikaru to play this games is like using a nuclear bomb to make a campfire

Blindfold or not, chess is satisfying to watch!

Hikaru mad at himself for misremembering the pawn and not seeing the Ng4 move. People so good at anything are always tough on themselves

Levy: Let’s see if he sees this. Well you can’t.

Hikaru casually hanging Ng4 in his first blindfolded game 😂

Hikaru moves pieces from Levys accaunt. Levy plays blindfolded.

In hikaru's first match which opening did the oponent play ?

That’s low key crazy

Anything blindfolded is great.

I just did a blindfold game that went like 1. E4 ... E5 2. C3 ... C6 3. Bc4 ... F5 The first game looked familiar to me

Hey Levy could u make a 10 min opening on the Italian game as black

Thumbnail on point 😂

niceeeee…. 3:12 didn’t say pawn hahhaaaaa…nvm you can’t move the knight hahaaaaaa

i love levi and hikaro freindship

Hikaru is like the stock fish of this game

when he said “hey siri” my siri just started

When you said hey Siri, it enabled mine lol

perfectly fine until you realize hikaru is visualizing diffrent types of juicers

Great video but the title is horrifying 😂

this old gem

Reads the title: oh this ok that is wow I'm is that

Why are you wearing glasses tho? I mean you are blindfolded xD Come and think about it... You don't need a blindfold - just take your glasses out!

I too play like I'm blindfolded. But that's mostly the 900.

can't believe i missed this stream!

2 time I said this is the best chess Channel ever

levy getting lost in hikaru's mind palace!! 🤯
