dresses up in a full body suit of a chessboard and  goes around playing people of course i'm talking  

about spain's rey enigma a completely anonymous  individual who is probably around international  

master or grandmaster of strength he recently  competed against anatoly karpov in spain's got  

talent he's got a massive audience and about a  week ago he came to new york city first rey enigma  

and i met up we played a friendly blitz match  uh which is on his youtube channel you should go  

check that out it ended two to two so we decided  to come back to the marshall chess club and play  

a first to three wins for one thousand dollars  time stamps are in the video player for all of  

the games of the match they were all super hard  fought and exciting i hope you enjoy east hablas

okay let's watch some chess let's do it  baby let's go oh no cola system is coming  

i know you like this movie okay i'm gonna talk  about this right i'm gonna play something a little  

bit different i'm gonna play this okay that's a  very good move yeah that's my suggestion for black  

as well really yeah oh i didn't study your course  i'm sorry but but you should study his course yeah  

they're living and and and and mine too uh  yeah some grandmaster played this against me  

in blitz yeah i won but i was losing  nice uh interesting okay play very solid  

i don't want problems yeah but now yeah now i'm  happy okay let's play this still do you know my  

idea right still but i'm i'm so happy that's maybe  progressive right if i go g4 what do you think  

you should yeah yeah now let's play  more solid okay i'm gonna take this one

d4 is too much right yeah well you  played h3 you might as well play gg  

right why'd you play hd that was  my first intention but i'm gonna  

go like this it's a lot a lot of money on  the line you know you have to play for g4

very solid

have a lot more time that's true  okay i have to invent something here

hmm

let's go for c5 square maybe

this first yeah that's a good move thank you

i want to go for some some tactics  which one so i kind of start calculating

uh yeah yeah okay maybe maybe i  shouldn't have gone for some tactics  

yes go back okay i'll go back  i'll go back over that's fine

oh now he's going for that now he's going for g4  but i'm not so sure okay gonna stop that night  

that is pretty fine that's the ugliest move  i've ever seen in my life i know i know i know  

what no way no way you can do that but  probably i don't i don't care if you're yeah  

you can't play no the move is terrible  stop it actually it is i've just realized  

how bad it is but okay how can i  i can i stop that f4 is annoying  

f4 is really annoying no i didn't see  that no no at first i was going to take

okay let's play these that  it's pretty ugly as well

oh my god are you gonna play g takes f4  no no no no no no okay i have to take  

right no i have to to do it sorry some  something i mean it's very heavy pieces  

just that's a good move as well and i  probably have to go back to defend with e3  

kind of kind of solid how are you playing chess  like this yes this is terrible it's weird you have  

subscribers watching right i'm weird as well so  so can this call v3 induce a weakness okay maybe  

wow i have to right yeah but i actually didn't  stop that one oh you have 30 seconds okay oh no

this is the scariest part of the  game playing here you play just

that one that's a good move that's a good move

i didn't even know you could do that

that's probably not a good move well  maybe yes what it's not the butt

it is

still scary i don't i don't i don't  fully i don't i don't trust that i'm  

just i like your appreciation yeah me too  okay i officially really like my position

now even more right

i'm gonna win all the fun what no way no  way no anyway but i have this ah i didn't  

know i didn't see it i resigned the whole house  falls apart very good game wow so in this first  

game reigning begins with d4 and rather than  playing into his kali system which he is known  

for i decided to go for a very off-beat dutch  defense we have a very complex fight with that  

central blockade in the board uh and then i when  i ripped it open finally he really underestimated  

my attack he also played a little bit slowly  this game as he was trying to kind of talk and  

kind of entertain so i jump out to a one-nothing  lead let me build on this and take home that one  

thousand dollars let's move on to game number two  okay i have to remember my i play like this v6

this is almost four

we played this before right yeah i  have to make it interesting though i  

have to play something i didn't  play beat yet okay let's play

i don't like to repeat openings

you repeat openings you have to i have  to i changed you know i changed my whole  

repertoire when i started this reigning  muscle yeah somebody on my twitter said  

you uh they know you because you press a  colleague yes okay i don't think that's okay okay

it's dangerous to play the openings you  have courses on because if you lose yeah

it happened to me okay if  i would be very risky right

so i don't like that much my  position if i let's go for it

you want to push f4 e4 sorry i don't  know if this is good enough but

yeah i missed that oh that's not good okay oh no  i'm pretty sure i've seen and then you play like  

and then bring everybody yeah yeah yeah  oh oh we'll take one okay i have two h5

i've seen like alireza play like this with black  i think and just what do i do if i play c5 you  

play d5 i play d5 you play c4 that's it i'm very  sorry i miss these pawns yes but what if i play  

b4 b5 yeah that's a that's clever why did i  put this bishop here okay i'm gonna play b6  

if you play c5 i'm gonna take and play  d5 yeah but but i'm gonna take with

but i can take and play d5  

i was going to take like this okay ah so you  can open everything right that's what you want

not sure let's go for this one hmm

okay you can play b5 i can also do this okay  i didn't see that one coming at all that's  

interesting actually i'm just greedy yeah you want  to play bishop b7 right and just go for it there

here we put dramatic music  in the video yeah notice here

not easy at all okay let's play this one

right there's no

wow really want to defend there  maybe play d4 at some point

who's winning who's winning oops  not yet okay i'm not resigning yet  

i'm trying i feel like i'm playing like a  very nice positional game yeah absolutely  

i just feel like it's a smart game like with

queens bishops everybody yeah i'm gonna  sacrifice i guess if not that i'm completely lost  

you can take that rope yeah i'm gonna i  think i have to rent if you offer okay

what are you gonna check maybe well not sure about  it but i'm gonna try it's fair okay i'm gonna

take can i take a knot i don't know can i take or  not okay let's go okay i don't want it it's clever  

i don't wanna even that's very interesting as well  knight g4 is possible okay let's play like this

i don't know what's going on okay i have no  clue what about what can i what you can take it  

no i'm gonna go here okay defense and offense

that's not very clever actually

yes i don't have a queen queen  wow i didn't see that one

okay i guess you can really hope yeah is to  check me there but it's it's not gonna be

that's interesting wait what how do i stop me what

oh my god what just happened

i can't i have to play some defenses

oh but now it's all about time

okay here

no i have no time

that was very bad for my side oh my god was  that i you how did you do that oh game two was  

so upsetting i was playing the game of my life  with my queen and my bishops on the queen side  

expanding building around my c-pawn but somehow  i just completely underestimated his attack  

on the other side of the board i decided like to  to to kind of get cutesy and not allow his queen  

and i should have just been a bit more cutthroat i  don't know i i i i don't know what happened there  

but i let him back into the game i mean i thought  that game was completely unlosable and i did lose  

it all right it's one to one damn it but we're  gonna bounce back in the third game here we have

something different wow wow okay oh that's  no i can't always do the same you know before

okay not c3 um

okay that's what you want right going back i don't  know we'll see if it's what i want very soon this  

is very annoying just don't let my bishop get out  um 22 bishop h6 oh you're going to play 22. okay  

good thing you told me i had i was gonna  well maybe okay yeah so 22. i still okay  

what if i play in this crazy way  i don't care oh wow wow really

uh i mean that all is risky  it's very reasonable it's okay  

now you want to third castle am i going this  way no i don't think you can play g4 not not now

okay this is a very blitz open  thing very very much for blitz

how can i how can i attack you i  know that's not my responsibility  

okay let's put my knight here yeah it makes  sense actually we're about to play b5 or not  

i yeah yeah yeah i guess i still yeah  actually i thought my queen was trapped  

i forgot i can go here

i'm not sure what's going on  next c6 you go queen c7 right  

no i'll just let my queen die yeah no it's  yeah actually that would be nice for from you  

okay a3 i don't want to play three  i don't want to skip this but

yeah just okay let's go here but now i think  

that's clever wow it's very  clever i didn't see that as far as  

knight c6 to this was a genius opening innovation  actually very interesting if i play that bad  

it's very good oh yeah i don't think it was  very good but okay let's play this of course

i don't like my position at all yeah that's  rude as well now you can't play g4 yeah you  

don't have a pawn that's it okay i'll play this  but it's very bad actually i've just realized

okay i'll go for this it's sad  but it's probably a chance now ah  

ah you want something some  something there you're gonna make me  

probably not but you can try the same as  before i'm gonna try for sure okay hmm

at some point yeah i did not see  knight before oops that's cool

okay i guess i don't want to play this movie

oh well i don't like this i mean i'm still we are  still very good actually i'm gonna take that well  

i can take on asics as well yeah that's what  i'm a little bit worried about yeah yeah yeah

no what are you doing to my pawns but this  one is very weak okay i can't have my pawn

yeah i mean you're very very safe actually  okay let's see seven maybe that's risky

is your knight like trapped actually it is

uh it's not possible no it's  possible maybe it is maybe it is  

i mean this that was very  clever oh my god okay queen

ah that's a good move

that was not smart

ah sorry how is the enigma  school of rook and games

oh my god

oh my god is it check or not

what happened your time didn't go down oh no no  no i'm sorry i'm sorry it's okay i just felt my  

soul leave my body your time was point four  i'm not gonna show you that was point four  

and i pressed your clock and i was like okay  he obviously will not make a move in time  

and your time didn't move this one was  such a heartbreaker because it was such  

an interesting game i mean i kept my king in  the middle and it got a little bit dicey there  

uh when he found a way to infiltrate my knights  were jumping around beating up his bishops  

and then i had this nice tactic and i almost  promoted but somehow we got into a rookie  

game and this dude is so fast at the end i  thought i pressed this clock and he had point  

four on his clock and it just never moved it just  never moved i never i had no idea rey enigma could  

control time this dude picked up the time stone or  something it was nuts all right all right let's uh  

it's down we're down to one we've had some really  good positions so far let's get the next one

okay i'll use to use stupid g6 not sure i'm  gonna play yeah let's go for it i'm very boring

principled

this is i played this recently i  played this in the game recently  

yeah yeah it was with black i equalized  i outplayed my opponent i drew with flat  

yeah i was in my tournament so you don't  know how to play with white right i don't  

know how to play chess period that's right  white black doesn't it doesn't really matter

yeah yeah yeah yeah i i these  structures are very annoying  

for everybody yeah actually yes for everybody um

i'm gonna go this way and now this way  

yeah this is this is what i don't understand  about this position okay let's play quintet  

let me just give you your beautiful bishop  wow yeah yeah you won the center right yes i  

feel like stockfish would play like this you know  just against the bishop probably yes actually it's  

probably an insult to starfish something stylish  stuff is what would they do with black pieces

no h5 but something at all no e5 it's just too  much right e5 maybe where are you going to castle  

it depends where you where you  move well i'm talking too much

i'm not sure actually okay five wow yes  

okay you convinced yourself yeah  okay you want to go this way

i'm gonna take this one yeah  you want to open the position

so what not that much

are you scared or not i mean my bishop is very
