Beautiful game
“Only rule no castling” D1 takes E8
“Only rule: can’t castle”
Your king got cancer you loose sorry Vishi. Collect 200 and go fish
My idea for alternate rules. King and queen start out equal with power of queens. Only after one dies does the other instantly become king, wherever it is.
I mean ….I'm not even from India and I have mad props for Vishy ….the dude is in his 50s and keeping pace with some of the best guys in the world who are half his age ….5 time world champ and frankly a great ambassador for chess and for India….I'd love to play the guy otb with no clock …tea biscuits and let's chat and play ….sure Kasparov is probably one of my top chess idols and lots of the top players today I'd love to learn from …but vishy is the sort of guy I'd love to play " MY" chess against….no clocks no pressure no rating or crowds let's just have fun and talk …what a guy
Is this variant available on some site or other? Lichess? Chess dot com?
cool
dont quote one of the worst nba announcers (reggie miller) ever again lol
if anyone wants to analyze with an engine that wont let you turn off castling, you can move both knights out for both sides, move the rooks, move the knights back to the starting position and do it that way. its slow ik
This video I was waiting for 2 days.
Kramnik has been a long time advocate for NC castle and they’re putting on display for a massive audience the potential it has and I love that
if they made it no enpassant as well, its the chess i learnt as a kid 🤣
7:16 Levi turned into Ivanchuk
u make chess more interesting my freind
Vishy is Vishy! Thanks for an amazing video. Question: what’s the prize fund of this match ?
Chess 960 and fisher random is the same thing it just has too names
Wait no castling? The bongcloud is more credible?
Oh, at the end I just realized that NC = No castling. I just thought they didn’t castle because it wasn’t the best move.
Kramnik is only human……oh man
It felt like kramnik is only lone survivor in robotic chess world…😂
I dont think removing castling makes chess more interesting. What it does is make the competition more interesting. the best players will not be those with book smarts and opening memorizations. The best players become those with better intuition, adaptation, and improvization.
On 8:30 white had a mate how di they not see that
this video was the perfect length of time for after shower breakfast before work and a cup of coffee. I loved this thanks a bunch.
Day 34 of telling Levy he is worth more than a queen
VISHY BEING MAJESTIC AND VLAD BEING DANGEROUS 💙💙.
Oh!!! And to all those peeps "🤢🤢🤮🤮🤢 *Bunchofpissants…"
Lol the dps 🤣 triggered
"Only rule: you can't castle"
proceeds to bongcloud
you are totally wrong at 12:19, it was supposed to be kramnik's turn to move
That last epic move bishop f6 boom 🤯💥. Love from india ❤️
HOW ON EARTH CAN HE BLINK WITH ONE EYE WITHOUT BLINKING THE OTHER
Hey Gotham would you ever consider making another channel for vlogs or gaming or something along those lines?
I know its silly, but if you use your left arrow key to continueously Restart the video Levy is gona say che che che che che che che ina very funny way
Is something wrong with his left eye?!
Me, a Beefy Smash Doods subscriber, everytime I hear "c5" : 👀
VISWANATHAN ANAND IS PLAYING MORE THAN A MAGNUS CARLSEN,KEEP IT UP ANAND.
Normally without castling they will attack mostly the centre.
Anand always comes up with some innovative ways
great video
Hey, Gotham I love your chess videos. I am practising the chess from your channel. And your replays are awesome.😊😊
Day 4 of translating Levy's titles into european portuguese: 2 (dois) campeões mundiais, sem roque!
https://youtu.be/cLYuWGEA7hk
Dude Bomgcloud OP. Hikaru has been training for the no castling championship for years and we didn't even know. He's so galaxy brain that his ability to see a million moves ahead applies in real life too
Rule:No castling!
Vishy:oh then I will just castle manually.😂
Bxf6 was just… just BRUTAL!!!.
Wow
Vishy is an absolute legend
शेर कितना भी बुढा हो जाय शिकार करना नाही भुलता
Non castling engine games are just as drawish, probably because it only changes some short-term tactics and engines never blunder that. A human on the other hand can very well mess it up.

World Champion move. Wow
"Only rule no castling" Kramnik proceeds to take a Shot Gun from his bag
Gms dont castle anyways lol
