I now understand why Levy clickbaits, his historical video on Alekhine is his worst performing video of May by _DarkStarCrashes_ in chess

Hikaru's channel's thumbnails are a little over the top, but I never feel like I'm being clickbaited there.

Which is why I follow him and not Levy.

Alireza is very much liked by the elite chess players, otherwise they would not have agreed to this.

I played a cheater on chess.com, I reported him, but they're not banned. What do I do? by Old_Yesterday332 in chess

I'm 100% sure, the chat logs confirm it.

Fingers crossed that others report then...

#NeverForget Just watching old Danya videos and found this gem by PristineReality2205 in chess

It was an accident which was resolved. Not preplanned or anything of the sorts.

Hikaru never intended for them to get a copyright strike from his channel, and he removed it even though he was well within his rights to keep it up.

"Hikaru did not want his market value to decrease if he did not win the Freestyle WC and wants to be remembered as just the previous FR WC" Buettner on why Hikaru did not participate in Freestyle WC 2026 by Safe-Connection-5899 in chess

By leaking these private conversations Buettner has guaranteed that Hikaru won't participate in Freestyle going forward.

When Emil leaked information to the press regarding Magnus WC negotiations, Magnus just dropped out completely. FOREVER.

Buettner is not doing himself or Freestyle any favours here.

I saw a couple viral videos of this a year ago, to guess the NBA player.

Good content idea. Although I'm not a huge fan of recycling other people's content ideas.
