  1. ------------
  2. 1. SUMMARY
  3. ------------
  4.  
  5. TL;DR: Hikaru is responsible to almost delete Chessbrah's youtube channel.
  6. On date 7th April 2021, Eric from Chessbrah replied doing a livestream explaining the situation and attacking Hikaru.
  7. This escalated a sequence of events, like Chessbae's "deletion", people sharing past Hikaru stories, etc.
  8.  
  9. * GMHikaru's youtube channel did 2 copyright strikes on videos from Chessbrah's channel. (Clip: https://clips.twitch.tv/ScrumptiousComfortablePelicanFloof-wjlU6fWdu4oBOCV6 )
  10. - The two videos taken down (now up again) are the following:
  11. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=davarlKjOFs
  12. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpknYa3N44E
  13. * Eric made a live stream explaining the situation (Full VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/978764250 )
  14. - During the live stream, Eric attacked Hikaru and Chessbae (Hikaru's current manager and former Chessbrah's twitch channel moderator).
  15. Some people think Eric was pretty toxic on the video. Some people think this is just a counter-attack, justified by Hikaru's treat to destroy Chessbrah's youtube channel
  16. - Eric said that Hikaru would remove the strikes only if they don't show Hikaru in a "negative light". (Clip: https://clips.twitch.tv/CautiousLovelyMonitorTheRinger-euVluiwzXFMlQnsS ) Eric refused.
  17. - Hikaru replied to "Why do you have a beef with Eric?" question with:
  18. "Eric is that guy that drinks and offended xQc and Botez". (CLIP DELETED BY HIKARU)
  19.  
  20. Other notes:
  21. * HIKARU/CHESSBAE COMPLETELY DELETED 7th APRIL 2021 VOD AND CLIPS FROM TWITCH.
  22. - Yes is true that Eric heavily offended Botez and xQc. Yes, he was drunk. Yes, he apologized even though he said what he did was inexcusable.
  23. - GMHikaru's youtube channel posted the same kind of "double reaction" video BEFORE Chessbrah's channel did. GMHikaru's channel did not ask for permission. GMHikaru's youtube channel deleted those videos before striking Chessbrah's "double reaction" video.
  24. - The copyright strikes were lifted during the Eric's twitch rant.
  25. - r/chess megathread
  26. https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/mmonqa/megathread_2_april_8_hikaru_nakamura_eric_hansen
  27. - There is no Hikaru side of the story. He is staying silent. (He literally doesn't even care.)

  144. [0:38:13] <ToysToysToys> hi @chessbae94 , kinda surprised I didn't get the boots when I said that - I haven't kept up on that drama, just felt like I'd be a horrible person
  145. [0:39:18] <ChessBae94> @ToysToysToys it was our mcn that struck their video - we removed it - we wanted to talk to Aman and Eric about it - they cut off communication and went the full drama route - feelsbadman. Hikaru and I are sorry it happened, hope no damage was done, hope everyone can move on
  146.  
  147. [0:39:50] <bibbyjameschess> @ChessBae94 ya every1 needs to move on, drama isnt why were here after all :)
  148. [0:39:59] <ChessBae94> @bibbyjameschess I hope so
  149.  
  150. [0:40:40] <Joe010> @ChessBae94 did you or Hikaru communicate to your MCN that you wanted or were fine with them taking it down beforehand?
  151. [0:41:01] <tiodae> @Joe010 Why are you bringing it up brosef?
  152. [0:41:29] <ChessBae94> lol @tiodae
  153. [0:41:34] <ToysToysToys> dmca strikes are handled by outsourced companies - sorry for bringing this up
  154. [0:42:23] <ChessBae94> @ToysToysToys no worries - I hope if it happens again, like it did with Anish Giri - they just dm us, we all have a laugh and fix it - no need to rake anyone over the coals
  155.  
  156. [0:44:17] <Yourwizard666> @Chessbae94 how does it feel to be the baddest bitch in chess? The amount of eric’s dogs seething at the sight of your username must be empowering
  157. [0:44:40] <ChessBae94> @Yourwizard666 something about if they're not talking about you ...
  158. [0:44:54] <ChessBae94> @Yourwizard666 but seriously, would rather be chillin ;)
  159.  
  160. [0:45:42] <Joe010> @Yourwizard666 you know Chessbae was once a mod on Eric's channel, but they demodded her because she's toxic, right?
  161. [0:45:58] <ChessBae94> @Joe010 I unmodded myself
  162. [0:46:11] <Joe010> @ChessBae94 that's literally not possible, liar.
  163. # (Note: it is possible to /unmod or /unvip)
  164. [0:46:17] <WanderingBishop> @Joe010 I was a mod for Chessbrah much longer than bae was and I can tell you that's not true
  165. [0:46:34] <ChessBae94> @Joe010 you type /unmod chessbae94 in chat of chessbrah and then you're unmodded
  166. [0:46:45] <Joe010> Doesn't work
  167. [0:46:51] <ChessBae94> it does, but that's okay
  168.  
  169. [0:50:50] <ChicoBurger> is hikaru sad?
  170. [0:51:18] <y3cn3> @chicoburger people are stupid, so he is disappointed more than sad
  171. [0:51:32] <y3cn3> @chicoburger I think
  172. [0:51:32] <ChicoBurger> @y3cn3 what hapened
  173. [0:52:04] <y3cn3> @chicoburger check r/chess on Reddit for all the drama
  174. [0:52:30] <ChessBae94> @ChicoBurger it's over though - and you might catch a disease there - so good luck
  175.  
  176. [5:13:56] <he_who_trolls> Can you forgive chess brah?
  177. [5:14:04] <ChessBae94> !drama @he_who_trolls
  178. [5:14:04] <Moobot> Bent Pixel (Multi-Channel Network) struck their video - Hikaru, chessbae and the YouTube team are sorry it happened, hope no damage was done, hope everyone can move on respectfully.
  179.  
  180. [5:45:59] <lukeuyd> alireza wore chessbrah merch which seems weird
  181. [5:46:15] <ChessBae94> @lukeuyd he's a fan of the brahs - good for him - he's also a hikaru fan - also good for him
  182. [5:46:19] <ChessBae94> @lukeuyd no tribalism
  183. [5:46:58] <lukeuyd> @ChessBae94 with the context of the last week, wearing that vs hikaru seems to speak to a larger statement not just coincidence. but thats just my opinion
  184. [5:47:26] <ChessBae94> @lukeuyd he's a great GM - let's not pick on what his shirt was
  185.  
  186. [5:57:31] <origins0> I'm a teacher going through some drama with a peer at work. Trust me the drama brings everyone going through it closer together
  187. [5:57:56] <ChessBae94> @origins0 I hope it brings the community together and I hope you make it through okay
  188.  
  189. [5:58:48] <soochrispy_> Ben Finegold is not a good guy
  190. [6:00:25] <ChessBae94> @soochrispy_ let's not slam other creators here
  191. [6:01:06] <soochrispy_> @chessbae94 oh ok he only spent 3 hours slandering Hikaru yesterday but sure. That’s definitely a guy to defend
  192. [6:01:21] <ChessBae94> @soochrispy_ not defending him - just don't want to spread the negativity
  193.

  223. [2:11:14] <Super__Ego> so much hate on chessbae. I dont know her but she was the one and only one lifted all chess channels years back, including chessbrah
  224. [2:11:35] <aquilaungula> @Super__Ego I think a lot of people are new to the Twitch world and don't know how much she did for everyone
  225.  
  226. [2:16:17] <rollercoaster_123> @aquilaungula did chessbae get fired
  227. [2:16:28] <aquilaungula> @rollercoaster_123 No, she didn't
  228. [2:17:12] <aquilaungula> @rollercoaster_123 She's always welcome here, I think people are forgetting that Hikaru taking a more active role does not mean that Chessbae is gone from here
  229.

  237. [2:19:48] <aquilaungula> @oddlyunspecified Yeah. I don't know if I can fully disclose how much but we do get compensated since we are technically expected to work
  238.  
  239. [2:19:18] <quickeroats> @aquilaungula I just joined! What happened to Chessbae?? Why is she not on the followers list
  240. [2:20:17] <aquilaungula> @quickeroats Chessbae is still very much here and welcomed. It's just that Hikaru is now taking a more active role in producing his channel and content
  241.
