MOST RIDICULOUS Jynxzi Chess Match

Ladies and gentlemen, today I'm going to be showing you one of the most chaotic, exciting, dramatic, insane, hilarious games of chess that you likely have ever seen in your life.It's currently May 2026, and for the last month and a half, I have a chess protege.His name is Jinxy.He's one of the most popular streamers in the world, and when he started chess in March of this year, he was 100.Like many of you, when you first start, He was atrocious.I also was atrocious when I first started chess, but he has skyrocketed his ability in under two months.

He's broken 400 rapid, and his games are looking very good.But the game I'm going to show you today, I don't have any more ways to describe it.This was a game that Jinxy played against the League of Legends streamer, Dantus, and the two of them And Jinxie in particular is playing a lot of League as of late.Those of you that are into League of Legends know that that tends to weigh on your mind quite a bit, distract you from all of your other responsibilities in life.And these two booted up a game.And what a game it was.

Now we are going to try to learn a few things from this game.We're not just going to laugh until our stomachs hurt.Plus, most of you play like this anyway.Jinxie opens up with a Karo -Kan defense.This is his bread and butter.White plays Knight c3 and Knight f3 at the Grandmaster level.

This is known as the Two Knights attack against the Karo -Kan defense.At this level, nobody knows that they are playing the Two Knights attack against the Karo -Kan defense.It's just White developing with good principles.At this point, upand the idea is to then put this pawn on e6.You want all your pawns on the light squares, but you don't want to do it right away because this bishop would be blocked.

Another option is to take and then proceed.Another option is to put the knight into the middle of the board, which is exactly what Jinxie does.The drawback of this move, even though these two things attack on e4, is that white can play the move pawn to e5, forcing your knight to move.At master level, this is a variation of the two knights, but at this level, Dantes plays knight to e5.Knight to e5 does nothing.There is no threat to this move.

But worse than doing nothing, it actually loses a central pawn.And black here should be taking the central pawn.And you can take it with the pawn.You can take it with the knight.Jinxie takes it with the knight, which is fantastic board vision.Here white plays the move d3.

And with black, you can just take the knight.You can also retreat, I don't care which of these moves you do.Now at this point, with black, your logic should be, I need to develop my knights and bishops.So maybe I play pawn, bishop, castle.Or I develop my bishop, and then pawn, so I don't block my bishop and castle.Or I offer a trade of knights.

Another move that looks like it makes a lot of sense, but actually just straight up loses the game on the spot, and that is not an exaggeration, is the move f6.Pawn to f6 is a very natural move for a beginner, what could be more obvious than kicking the knight out of your position, which the opponent very promptly obliges.The move f6, and the way you avoid mistakes like this for yourself, and the way you punish mistakes like this in the future, is you are always, always, always looking for checks.And Qh5++ is easy to spot as the attacking player.It's a lot harder to spot that this move allows this check as the defensive player, and Qh5++ basically wins the game, because black has to go here, and after knight takes, and you take, I take the rook.And, well, I mean, the game goes on, but there's pressure here.

The next move for white should be B2h6, and white has a very crushing position.But the game obviously will go on.Anyway, f6 is natural, but you need to really be mindful of checks, and well, White doesn't even spot that.Knight back to f3.At this point with Black, again, you are looking to develop and castle.If you haven't gotten your pieces out, and you haven't castled, that is what should be top of mind.

I here would take as much central space as possible, defended by my pawns.pawns in the middle defended by other pawns are really good.Jinxie goes bishop to g4.This is one thing that he really likes to do.And as a beginner, you can oftentimes fall into a certain pattern that you do very often.If you don't have a good reason to trade a bishop for a knight, you shouldn't do it.

And right here, you shouldn't trade the bishop for the knight.There is no need to do that.This trade only benefits white.but this trade the way it happened only benefits black so let's break down what just happened so again i would like to castle my king and that is what you should be doing pawn pawn bishop castle this little moment here again the best move is to attack the bishop because you take the center prepare this hit the bishop and castle or you can go e6 and then trade If you want to play a move like queen to a5 here attacking the pawn, I also don't mind that.What you shouldn't do is voluntarily give away your bishop, and white here should take with the queen.It activates their most powerful piece.

You prevent doubling your pawns.You generally, generally should avoid doubling your pawns, but white goes here.So beginner errors are being made, and now Jinxie plays e5.So I wish he just played this move without trading the bishop for the knight, but whatever.Okay, fine.Bishop to g3, and bishop to c5.

Excellent play, and now white Black is just going to castle on the next move.B up a pawn.White has what's called a damaged pawn structure.These are called doubled pawns.These pawns are doubled but at least have a friend.These are doubled and isolated which means there's no E and G pawns.

So these are also isolated pawns.These are alldifferent pawn islands.Islands of pawns, whereas black just has a beautiful bridge.d4 on the board.Now, the move d4 is a fair trade because after this capture and this capture, this is supported and the bishop is hanging.

However, the transformation of this position is devastating for white.Why is it devastating for white?Because after pawn takes, pawn takes, this king is in the middle and bishop to b4 check.cannot be blocked.Normally it can be blocked with a pawn, or a knight, or a bishop.None of those things are possible.

So White's options are to move the king or put the queen here, and he now has to move the king.Now, when the king walks into the center of the board, something goes off in my mind, right?And I want everybody watching this to also pick up on this.I immediately start thinking, can I attack the king again?Now, Qe7++ is a wonderful move, And actually, you force the king to d3.The king should not be that far.

But at this point, I'm like, you know, there's actually no way to attack the king.I should go back to my principles, either finishing my development or castling my king, because I know that with the king in the middle, probably in the future, something bad is going to happen.King e2, but this is an even better move, because you know what?It's actually better not to attack with the Queen on the straight line, it's better to attack with the Rook on the straight line, because that is the Rook's only power.The Queen could go this way, the Rook cannot.The Rook cannot.

If the Rook went like this, they would ban it for wallhacks.Okay, Queen a5, Queen b5, the King is going to be swarmed, and here White plays the move a3, and is completely lost now, because black can completely swarm here for example queen a8 check is a beautiful move from the computer when the king goes here queen g6 check king e2 rook e8 the kinglonger has a legal move.It's basically mate.It's actually a total miracle it's not.There's only Bishop to e5 here.

Anyway, of course that doesn't happen.Bishop to a5, we are only getting started.We have 40 moves to go of utter madness.White plays c4.Look, if your King is in the middle like this, you can't use your pawns.It is time to move the other pieces.

You have to develop the bishops and the rooks and the knights if you have them.Pawn c4 just simply loses a pawn.Like the simple move here by black is pawn takes pawn.That is what you should do.Rook e8 check is an excellent move and here you should play pawn takes pawn.Jinxie has a blind spot in chess as a 400.

We all have blind spots.Jinxie's blind spot, which is what I've identified doing a couple lessons, is close quarters combat.so stuff like this d takes c4 not only attacks the king it also opens up the queen and actually the game would just end here with queen to d5 king to d3 and there is a maiden two here a very difficult maiden two to spot probably impossible for a beginner but basically because black has absolutely no backwards moves queen f5 check the king is forced to walk back here and you mate.If you want to learn what this is called, what I like to call it, I call it the pendulum or the boomerang.It's kind of, you know, it goes and it comes back.Queen f5, king c4, queen b5.

It's kind of funny that we can force the king to move to a closer square.There's like no alternative, right?So queen f5 and queen b5 just wins the game.Now, why is this important?Because queen e7 is not a mistake, but it's also not the best move.White plays bishop takes b8, which is Okay, so he takes the knight and there is no, I mean, now all of White's pieces are on the first rank of the board.

They haven't moved.White has made 17 moves, and neither of the back four pieces have moved.White plays pawn takes d5.Here the simple move by Black is to simply take back.That's exactly what Jinxing does.And Queen b3 is excellent.

Queen b3 threatens this pawn.And what's worse about that move is that it's not only a threat, and this is the way you need to think.The Queen comes here, you go, can it take something?This.And then it would be attacking this, And that, and that is difficult to spot.The simple move here is to simply protect this pawn with one of the rooks, or with the plethora of queen moves.

Jing Si plays here, which in theory is not a bad move because he's trying to go rook to c3.Unfortunately, he blunders this, and now the king has to move, and he loses his bishop.He has now lost four points of material.Shockingly, the computer still evaluates the position as better for black.How can black be down three points of material, a full bishop, but still be better?In chess, the two most important things are material and king safety.

I say this in many, many videos, but I will just hammer it home.If you are down material, but the opponent's king is garbage, you have chances.And the move is queen to d7.One more thing, in general, you should run your king to the outskirts of the board.That's what you should do.King to f8, queen a5, and now b6.

And now an instructive moment.

White to play and win.

With white here, you have to sense that you are in danger.And the clean technique move here by white is to simply trade the queens.The move Qb4 pins the queen to the king.There's no choice now.You can't block.You don't have a check.

And after this...it doesn't matter that you have these two rooks.The king hides behind the pawn, and nobody's getting to the king.Obviously, that doesn't happen.White goes here.And not only does white not play the best move, He plays one of the worst moves!

Because all of a sudden, the Rook hits the Queen, hits the Pawn, hits the King, the King is still in the middle of the board, the Queen goes back to b3, and now there is a crushing blow here!But it's not findable.This move is not findable as a beginner.The move is Rook takes d4, sacrificing the Rook!And the point is that if the King takes, you have to go Qc5, Kd3, Rd8, Qe2, Qe5, Qd2, Qb2, Ke1, Qa1, Queen c1, queen c1 here, queen d2.Now, if Jinxie found that, I would have called up the chess .

com fairplay team and gotten him banned on the spot.I don't have that power, but I would have told them to investigate it because there is absolutely no chance.Not even sure a 1400 rated player, I'm not even sure a 2400 rated player in a Blitz game would find that.Some of you might be offended by that, but the thing is, I say things in these videos and you say, no, I would have totally seen that.Yeah, I know it's easy to lie in the comment section, find it in an actual game, Especially find it in a game if you're gonna be streaming in front of like 70 ,000 people.But anyway, Rook takes d4 is the winning move, but I like Jinx's move, Queen d7 attacking this pawn, and White just totally ignores it.

Not only does he ignore it, he also hangs a bishop.Folks, you cannot attack a piece that possesses the same power as your piece if your piece is not guarded.You cannot make a diagonal attack.We could just take the bishop, Now what's funny is actually taking this is even better because you go to the king.Taking this is easy because at least you get the same material.It's just queens and rooks, practically speaking.

I think it's probably better to take the bishop at the beginner level, but Jinxie plays Qd4, Kc2, and now this rook should come down, or the queen should come down, he spawns this move, Kb1, but now what?Now what?And this is why I like covering Jinxie games now as a 400, because when you're 100, basically every move you play is garbage, and it's funny.But as a 400, you have moments of brilliance here.And here, there's only one move for black to get the advantage.Only one.

You would think it's like, oh, I put my rook, or I take this pawn.No.Because white is threatening queen to b4 check, hitting the king and the queen, and getting the queens off the board.I'm not sure if they would have seen that.But Jinxy plays rook e1, which is the best move.Move as black you might think oh my god.

I thought it was ladder mate, but now we have to trade the rooks What am I doing?I'm trading what I'm losing I'm not supposed to trade pieces what I'm losing, but there is something I like to call superseding concepts Okay, a concept in chess you hear me say this in videos all the time.You got to simplify here You got to not not trade a bishop for a knight.You got to do this You got to do this if you live your life really rigidly by the random rules you hear with the youth from the youtuber, right?you're going to miss opportunities in your games.There are some moments in chess that demand a concept, and some moments in chess that demand something concrete.

The reason it is good to trade here with black, despite being down material, is you remove the first ranked defender.Now the king has to come forward, and this is winning for black.because you could get the rook in and the queen and the bishop and the rook do not defend the king so black is winning here it's a little complicated but you can go queen takes f2 for example and check the king a bunch and coordinate your rook and your queen now king b2 queen d2 is the move chosen andthat is the wrong move by Jingxi, because now White can defend with the Queen.You needed to get your Rook down there.Rd2, Kc3, and the way you win this position is you play Rd1 +, this is check, and then you win the Rook, and then you win the game.

Instead, Kb2, Qd2, the King goes back, Jingxi plays Rd3.Now White is back in business with Qb4 +, getting the queens off the board.White would love to trade the queen.When you are under attack, you want to trade the opponent's most powerful piece, which is generally the queen.Dantes plays Qe6, an infiltrating move.It looks really good, but he's left his king to perish.

And there is a forced checkmate here.You need to play Qd1.followed by Rook d2, followed by hunting the King out this way.Very slow, methodical technique, but it's important because the Queen and the Rook always defend each other, and he actually does it!He does it, he hunts the King out of the corner.If he takes the Rook, the King takes his Rook, and the Queen alone cannot win this game.

So what do you do?You need to put something on c2.D3 doesn't work because the king goes back.He does it.Not the best piece, but it's one of the pieces.And now king to b3.

And now the queen can go here and deliver a ladder.And he does it.This is what I mean.When you're 100, every move you play is bad.But when you're getting up the reigning ladder, you're noticing things.You're just not noticing all the things.

In this position, he played Rook b2.And right here, Qingzi has a buffet of checkmates.One of them is queen to b5, defended by the rook and the king has no more moves.You also have the rook cutting off the king, queen a6.You need to look for checks here.Qc2, Qd4, Qb5, Qa6.

The way you find a checkmate here as a beginner is, look for your most powerful attacking piece, and look how to check the most weak piece.Don't do this, because not only is Pb5 not a checkmate, the king now escapes.And not only does the king escape, White is winning white is winning your pieces are too far and the king is coming this way this is insane b4 on the board but b4 is not even a check and because it's not a check it is white's turn white can now start giving checks and that's exactly what he does and here comes the comeback from the league of legends streamer king f7 queen e6 and chingsy a man of the people he could have played king to f8 And if the boys just shuffled their pieces back and forth, it would have been a draw.But Jinxie goes out, kicks out a window, walks the king to the G file.Which, incredibly, is the best move.That is actually the best move.

Why?Well, in this position, Queen c7.was the right idea.Why queen c7 and not anything else?Because if the king goes here, then white has bishop e6.And the queen and the bishop weave what is called a checkmating net.

A net is when you take all the squares away from a king at first, and then you deliver the checkmate.And yes, the king could run, but slowly he would be defeated.And it's actually insane, none of these pieces can check the king anymore.It's just wild.Anyway, Jinxy goes here, and here, White has Rg1, which he'swhich he spotted now at this point in the game i began having heart palpitations black has two places to put the king h5 and h6 which of these moves is better it's kind of like blue's clues back in the day interacting with the thing on your screen which of these pieces do you think is better which of these pieces give you a way to find this.

These pieces attack on light squares, so probably you should go to a dark square.When you decide, you need to think, can my opponent check me with the queen or with the rook?King h6, and the position is equal, but Jinxy goes king h5.And after king to h5, the game is finished.

Queen g4 check, queen g4 check, king moves, ladder mate.Queen g4, king moves, ladder mate.You can't stop it.

White goes here.And now, if you put the king on h6, There are no more checks.There's only Qe3, and that would be a trade.Kh6.You could also go Kh4, Kg5 and Kh6, and Kg6.You should not put your king in the direct line of fire of the rook.

That is exactly what Jinxing does.Now, if white plays the move Bf5 +, and attacks the queen, he wins the game because he wins the queen.But Dantes goes here, and Jinxing, for a third move in a row, can put his king on a dark square.The only thing he shouldn't do is play Kf4 and Kh4.If he goes forward, he gets mated.Kf4 actually is not mate, but Kf4 there is mate with Rg4 followed by Rf4.

checks.Just don't go here, don't go here, and don't go here.You need to go to h6, because then there's no checks.Jinxie once again spends one entire minute and plays king to h5.And now, I could not believe this, Dantes goes here and king h6 is on the board.White has three minutes and 45 seconds to find his own ladder mate.

This is the 42nd move of the game.42nd move!Seven moves ago, there was the exact same ladder mate situation over there.Here we are.Dantas plays here.He misses mate in one.

King to h5.Now the bad news for Jinxie is, with the king stranded like this, you might find mate by accident.You really might.You might be like, wait a minute, let me go back.Let me rethink this for a moment.Bishop to g4, queen g4.

Maybe you go bishop to f5.And then like, I don't know, you still somehow find a checkmate.There are a lot of ways to lose this game with black.Dantes here plays Rook to g5 and Jinx he takes.I was like, what?So now Jinx he's winning, but he has two minutes and 40 seconds to get this done.

Queen g4.It still might be a draw.King h5, Queen g4.Jinx he has to put the king on h6.This is the fifth time that he can do this.So he takes.

King h6, this is the fifth time.This is the sixth time.The sixth time he can put Queen here and in this position, if Dantes gives this check, the game automatically ends on Chess .com due to a rule called three -time repetition.When you repeat a position three times, for whatever reason,Dante's goes here.

Maybe he didn't want to make a draw I don't know now if you thought this was the end if you thought this was the end It's not the end King to h4 Dante's plays Queen takes here And if you take this is mate Jinx he plays Queen takes a three check and takes the bishop.This is incredible stuff He has a minute and 34 seconds now Here you gotta be ruthless with black.White plays queen takes h7.You run the king to hide behind the pawns.White plays queen to e4.Now with black 40 seconds up on time, you gotta win this game.

You gotta take this pawn.You gotta promote.You gotta do something.a6 check is fine.Now you give checks with your rook and your queen.Check.

Every move check.King there.Check.Fine.Rook e2.Fantastic.

But why is Jinxing spending so much time?Once again, the close quarter combat.This move loses the queen in one.He doesn't take it.Rook takes F2.Both guys have 22, 23 seconds on the clock.

I don't know if they're clip farming.I don't know if they're geniuses.I don't, I don't know if they're nervous.Queen takes g5 check.And all of a sudden, Jinxie is down on time.He has 11 seconds!

And here with a queen and a king stacked, I would just give checks.The thing is, you can always win the game on time by just giving checks.You can play queen c2, queen c3, rook g2, etc.Rook g2 is there.He takes.We have queen f5.

And actually now, from a practical standpoint, it is white who is winning.Because here, Jinxie has four and a half seconds.Practically speaking white is winning because here with white you just give checks What you do here is you don't take anything you only give checks with four seconds on the clock You will lose this game, but Dante's takes the rook because he spots that it's it's capturable forgetting that the Queen can take and now Jinx he has 2 .3 secondsseconds to win this game in theory it is possible because what you need to do now is Queen as quickly as you can which would take 0 .3 seconds off your clock boom boom boom pre move this and then you would need to find a way to to pre -move to a victory.It is possible.The best players in the world would pre -move the queen like this, and then like this, and like this, and try to slowly ladder mate.

Jinx, he lasts only a couple more moves here.He tries his best.But folks, you know the saying, a perfect game of chess always ends in a draw.
