22:52: No. AlphaZero, and literally every single other chess engine for that matter, plays as if it were playing against itself. This means that when it is down material or having to save the game, it doesn't try to be tricky because it always thinks the opponent will see it. Instead, it plays to try to exaggerate the game's length as long as possible. Conveniently, this usually makes the bot play a lot of counterplay, because the counterplay that it makes the opponent will have to deal with before being able to attack, which exaggerates the game's length. Inconveniently, this makes it play for draws, which might not work in games were it could've won by being tricky. There is actually a solution to this, which is kinda complicated but still possible. There is a little known chess engine called Maia, and it tries to find the most human moves from 1100-1800 ELO. If Maia-1800, the highest rated Maia, was merged with Stockfish, Stockfish would be able to come up with extremely tricky lines that most 1800 ELO players would miss! This would actually be a very useful tool for coming up with lines in high rated events. I'd like to see a programmer(s) try to do that sometime.
No u fool, ur just making bs stuff up from your imagination. They play what they evaluate as the best move, not play as if they were against themselves.

The best series you have ever made. It is seriously so helpful to see what you do against the low ELOs. Please more speedruns maybe a bullet speedrun next.
Randomly clicked on a hikaru vid and he's talking about 'London enjoooyer so he gets mad when he can't play his setup' shit made me piss myself laughing
One second he says streaming is much more difficult than we think the next he says he doesn't think about it that much, he just shows up and does his thing and that's it
@@srambrero that's a terrible comparison, because to get to that point as a GM he's had years and years of countless hours of study, preparation on playing
Hikaru is so right about that. It's like when you play bots or computers on weak settings, sometimes you will still not find the correct line simply because when they blitz the move out you'll think either you must have blundered, you didn't play as strong of a move as you thought you did, or they are very confident that the move they just played was the best. That psychology is quite effective.
Well said! My friend has told me she had difficulty with bots. I was perplexed since these were low rated bots. But then, I watched her play and it clicked as to the reason. Basically exactly as you said it here
nah this guy is on another level, be it 1500s or 1800s, be confident or not, you will get crushed by super gm in under 20 moves. Its all about skill and experience, and in case of super gms, immense talent
He's not even being ironic despite the synthwave and sunglasses. He just thinks he's better at life than everyone. Doesn't wanna help, doesn't wanna teach, doesn't even really wanna entertain, doesn't want anything more than his ego stroked Dude's a straight narcissist, he proves it every vid he uploads. Just stop watching him y'all, there's so many better channels and streamers
Hikaru, just a thought but because you always have so much music playing I think it would be informative for the viewers to know what track is playing. Eric Hansen does that and it’s very useful. Maybe your editor can sort that out for future videos :)
idk.. but i assume hikaru's music is generated by twitch.. if so.. you'd think there'd be a feature on twitch to display the current track title. Yeh it sux when you hear a good track but have no way of finding out the artist.
In the last game opponent could have played Qe8+ and continue to an annoying king chase with a lot of room for mistakes for black. I doubt hikaru saw it all till the end where he escapes
The shrinked chess board relative to the actual video height makes it really not enjoyable to watch on mobile. Please consider getting back to the old format with full height board.
alekines defence is disrespectful because its the worst defense and puts you in the worse position and is the opening that a bot that was created to lose uses its ultimate disrespect if you win
Hikaru is basically the Mark Goldbridge of chess streaming - a bit of a prat, might come off as unlikeable, but if you're a fan then you find him entertaining
I mean I know Hikaru’s disrespect is tongue in cheek but I do find it moronic when someone thinks they will play an opening sequence against any move and be fine
It's a speedrun, he's just seeing how fast he can climb the ELO ladder on a new account. Fun to watch the games get better over time and all ELO will be 'refunded' when he's done.

Hikaru starts with 3 minutes on the clock and finishes with 4, that's pretty amazing
Botez gambit is the best disrespect you can give to ur opponent
Lol
this speedrun is about trash talking.. 🤣🤣🤣 but its funny tho
bong cloud is pretty disrespectful too, but the problem is he’s already done botez gambit speed run and bong cloud bullet speedrun
@@jesterpenetrate6912 that's what I am saying that this speedrunbmakes no sense

The disrespect is insane 🤣🤣 I bet every player is turning off their PC right after each game questioning their chess abilities.

"take and take and if takes I take if takes takes takes, Qe2..."
hikaru is too nice to be genuinely disrespectful
I like your flex in tata steel chess too.
In case you love chess puzzles… I upload daily chess puzzles that i hope you enjoy!
I feel like Hikaru could mate more disrespectfully... take all their pieces, sac everything but bishop and knight and mate
Does anyone else remember when Hikaru cosplayed as Xqc? That’s real disrespect Hikaru we need for this speedrun
i've never seen a better intro in my life, goat.
Dude I saw the thumbnail and thought Doc shaved his mustache hahaha
One second he says streaming is much more difficult than we think the next he says he doesn't think about it that much, he just shows up and does his thing and that's it
he doesn't think about the numbers. different context
that actually makes perfect sense....same as if you asked him if its hard to be a gm he would tell you the same thing and we all know how hard that is
He was talking about how writing a chess book is not as easy as you think

bots are very tricky, sometimes they just do stupid stuff, and sometimes when ur attacking they know exactly how to defend and ur attack is gone

Absolutely legendary opening
"they cannot handle my power" Hikaru
Take and takes and if I take he takes and takes... Best intro ever!

800s these days are beasts someone else must be able to relate to me
facts, when I get a 500 half the time they are literally playing like FMs.
Its totally true. I think it is how many people picked up Chess during the pandemic.
3:27 king fart sound😄 you're welcome 😊
Bruh that intro is legendary
best chess series on the web
9:00 I feel like ad-free is probably more likely the reason than the blue checkmark🌚
I hope one day to experience hikaru's power
“All about the speed momentum and the power”.
10:33 Was there something wrong with playing Rxg4 there?
Hikaru's chess book title: "Takes Takes Takes Takes Takes: Adventures with Deez Knights"
I always try to come at my opponents with serious power and momentum. I don’t always get these results tho
I watched a video of you from a few years ago saying you hope you get 1k subscribers bro crazy over 1 million now

Hikaru explaining his Costco run is the most real thing I’ve heard all day. I too eat quasawns.
guys im underfeated at my house thanks to hikaru yeeeyahhh
In the last game opponent could have played Qe8+ and continue to an annoying king chase with a lot of room for mistakes for black. I doubt hikaru saw it all till the end where he escapes
I'm pretty sure he was aware. Kc7, and no more checks. Black mates in one.
@@misterpoper5195 there was a knight sacrifice and multiple checks after that

Just a question. Why aren't you making recap of your Rapid games in Tata steel chess tournament 2022.

Lol you get taxed on lotto winnings in every state. Lotteries are put on by states specifically for making money
12:42 can someone transcribe this please? I didn't understand a single word
I believe that Hikaru said you You Elon enjoyers have gott itbackwards, you should have be riding the cars. Not riding him. I think he said
@@maxread5234 that makes sense, thanks!
Disrespect some with all pre moves and mate him.. it's lovely to watch ❤️love from india big fan sir ❤️
HIKARU CAHN 🙌, what a brain! 🙌
I‘m really enjoying those speedruns. How about a blindfold speedrun next? You would need a second person for that though
He couldn’t read the comments
My man is gonna lose his queen.....
No Botez Gambits thoe,,.... this ain't that disrespectful !!!
Hikaru, why didn’t you tell us you’d be at the World Cup 🌎 ⚽️
50 million not worth it I only double my net worth 🗿 gigachad hikaru
Too bad Hikaru actually lost a game before 2500 (I think). The doc just disrespected himself. 😅
I hover 1500-1600 and I always assumed I was as bad as these guys. You're a great asset to recreational players.
funny how chess viewers dont know how income tax works
I'm new to the chess world but isn't it unfair for a high-rated player (never mind a GM) to smurf like this?
