30 PREMOVES. WHAT?
Next story: GothamChess unpacks Carlsen's two-pawn escape against Mishra
Click after click, Levy Rozman repeats "here," lining up moves before his bot opponent has played its replies. Then he lifts both hands away from the controls. "And now I just sit and watch."
That is the appeal of "30 PREMOVES. WHAT?": the work happens up front, and GothamChess gets to fold his arms while the board finishes the job. The victory pop-up confirms a checkmate against Luna. With roughly 3.6 million views, it is the most-watched of his fifteen uploads this week.
Viewers have turned the repeated "here" into a running joke, while others imagine how unnerving it would be to face an opponent whose replies arrive instantly. One more technically minded comment questions whether a different king route could have spoiled the sequence. Even a no-hands victory invites analysis.
Magnus Carlsen supplied another recurring thread, appearing in titles about WittyAlien and Hugo. Those uploads sit alongside "MASHA AND THE BEAR" and "THIS IS THE END," the latter currently drawing the channel's largest daily audience. "He's done." and "Magnus Carlsen Apologized" are also among its busiest videos right now.
The audience grew substantially, with 150,000 subscribers added over the week. Daily views are running above their usual level, too. For all the Carlsen coverage, though, the week's most-watched new upload gives Rozman himself the little flourish: hands raised, moves already ordered, nothing left to click.

Here, here , here , here...... and this is checkmate
@TejverdhanSinghSee it on YouTubebro imagine trying ur hardest to avoid a checkmate and every time u make a move ur opponent instantly counters it
@WippyzSee it on YouTubeIf his king moved to the g followed by h file, the rook wouldn't cut off the king anymore and the pawn would be taken, thus ruining the checkmate.
