Decoding GM Hikaru's Disrespect Gambit

new video title thumbnail

[heavy tulip]

what`s a gambit?

the chess thing will be hidden at the bottom right

And I dont understand why the rainny background

[austere quartz]

its a sequence of moves in chess where the aim is to sacrifice pieces in order to achieve a winning position (tbf for a chess audience this title would make sense)

[austere quartz]

this is what i DONT GET

[austere quartz]

and this lol

[heavy tulip]

if it`s a chess video, show chess right away, and what his disrespect gambit is

[austere quartz]

yeah for sure

[heavy tulip]

you gotta make it stand out and interesting

[austere quartz]

also drop the GM from the title - if you play chess you KNOW Hikaru lol (trust)

[heavy tulip]

because this, is a bit too simple and boring for a homepage reccomendation I would say

[heavy tulip]

can`t comment on that

[queen onyx]

ok will drop gm

[queen onyx]

means?

[queen onyx]

plain background wasnt looking good

[heavy tulip]

but rain feels really random

and its also making it feel busy

[heavy tulip]

the stuff like the horse and c6 will be hidden by the youtube video itme code

[queen onyx]

whats that?

[heavy tulip]

even without it, its still too small to be noticeable imo

[heavy tulip]

what?

[queen onyx]

itme code

[heavy tulip]

this

[queen onyx]

oh

but c6 is not important

that h4 h5 h3 is important

[heavy tulip]

then what is it doing in the thumbnail

[queen onyx]

its because every chess move has a move reply from other player too

[heavy tulip]

if its not important, shouldnt be there

that`s a rule

[queen onyx]

👍

removed it

now lemme fix the rain if it looks too busy but plain background doesnt look great too lemme try something

[heavy tulip]

I would show the moves or chess at least

it``s a chest video but from only the thumbnail I would never have guessed

[queen onyx]

people who play chess can understand it for 2 reason

1. the moves those things written on wooden board are chess moves
2. hikaru himself

[heavy tulip]

it needs to be obvious so not rain bg but not plain either

but the moves are too small

[queen onyx]

i had made a version with chessboard but it wasnt looking great

[queen onyx]

ok

[heavy tulip]

but not while scrolling

[queen onyx]

should I make them big?

[heavy tulip]

you gotta think that people dont even spend 1 second on a thumbnail

[queen onyx]

ok

[ocean tusk]

I'm a bit interested in chess. I would really try to make it work with a chess board if you can somehow wing it. Like show the ridicolous position from the opening. I personally have a hard time imagining the position on the board just from the moves without actually seeing it.
Hope this helps 🙂

wait, just a question out of curiosity how can the knight move from h6 to c6? 😄

like if he sacrifices the knight for nothing or something like that you can make a red arrow for the free capture to showcase the disrespect

[austere quartz]

gothamchess either uses red or cyan to reflect the in game graphics of chess.com

maybe you should do similar…

that with a chess board SHOWING the moves

then youre onto a winner!

[queen onyx]

lemme try

[queen onyx]

ok

chessboard seriously not working. the issue is the h pawn is located at the left most part of the chess board and it is not very visible in thumbnail

and the thing is this opening focus on moving that side pawn 2 or 3 times

and since only the side most pawn has moved the board looks empty

[austere quartz]

which opening is it?

(i like chess lol)

[heavy tulip]

This is interesting

And useful

[queen onyx]

thats just a super dumb opening that Hikaru play on live streams a lot

he beats up players by starting with playing the pawn in front of rook first which is very bad but he still wins

Hokari calls it Disrespect Speedrun or Disrespect Gambit

[austere quartz]

lmao

[queen onyx]

I made the changes most of changes you all suggested! the video is now in roast sections
