The Greatest Troll Ever!! But how did he do it? • page 1/1 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

Unless the two players staged this I am at complete loss as to how GM Hambleton did this:

Part of the problem is that Levy can't get out of his own way. He may have more than 4 million subscribers, but I know from watching his highlights of Pogchamps calls that he lacks the no-BS attitude I expect from somebody who thinks he can be a chess teacher/coach. That's why I don't and won't subscribe to his channel.

Hambleton knows the sequence because it has happened many times before. there's zero chance levi hasn't seen the sequence before. the whole video is just hamming it up for clicks. I have nothing against levi, he's not for me, but he is very popular for a good reason. some people enjoy his acting, there are no losers. levi gets ad revenue, his fans get entertained.

He always farms content on Magnus. I don't appreciate this. So many youth players are good at chess and sadly they never get attention.... Wondering when horsey will become the main influencer?

There is part of me that wonders if the problem might just be that one word, influencer. A lot of the sheep don't like to do their homework in deciding who to follow. I've known for a long time that to hold my attention for more than five minutes that you have to cut to the chase, leave your wild side at the door, and explain what you're driving at in layperson's terms because that's how my brain is wired.
