@@andrewbradley3305 That was probably him when he was younger. Right now, probably bullet specialists like Andrew Tang might be marginally better. Still though, Hikaru is still very up there even with his declining bullet skills. Some random 2300 would be out of his league.
watching hikaru at that last game is very breathtaking, it is so tense yet so crazy be able to pulling some deep shit move. what a game, this is actually the first time im feeling tense watching hikaru., shows what a class he is. great job man
You really gotta get the upload schedule more consistent on these speed runs man, we were over a month behind and now we're getting bombed with 1/2 uploads a day 😂
When the opponent finds amazing moves: Hikaru: Ah...i can't believe he found that...that's amazing... Levy: Cheater. No way he found that without a computer.
It probably doesn't work, champ. For example: 1Rxe5 Qh2 2 Rc5 Qg1+ and the R on c5 falls or 1Rxe5 Qh2 2Rb5 (so it doesn't get forked again) Qh1+ and either the R on f3 or the B falls or 1Qh2 R(5)f5 (so the R's protect each other, and the forks don't work) 2Ne7 R(5)f4 3Nd5 Rf5 4Nc3+ Ke1 5Qe2#
its getting harder and harder, feels some of this games are won more by his speed than because he can overcome the queen for minor piece difference. Once the game gets down to 10 seconds it seems the quality of just about everybody else drops down to slugs while hikaru remains pretty good. Its really good and interesting, lets see how far he can go.
There's no "overcoming" the loss of a queen against a good player: if he doesn't blunder or flag, you'll lose. You weirdly seem to think one of those ways of winning is illegitimate, even though the game being played is speed chess.
True but his ability to throw complications into the game which make his opponents waste time thinking is definitely something else. They are up so much material and still can't find a way to break through.
When you try to follow the games as a novice, but at 16:35 it essentially devolves into taka-taka-taka-taka-taka-taka-taka-taka while the opponent only goes taka-taka-tak...taka-tak..taka-taka...tak-taka... tak-ta.... The most apt comparison I can come up with would be a GM's brain going 2x speed Brain Power by Noma vs 1.25x speed by the opponent. Nevertheless, this offers some great insight into how great minds do their work, even if it is just a fleeting glimpse of the gears that grind in the background.
It's funny how he gets a bit salty but can't be mad because this series is insane. I wonder how GothamChess chances would be against Hikarus Botez Gambit.
3:03 Rb1, Rb1 Make a move that makes no sense That move literally is crazy Why on Earth would you play that? At least castle your king What the heck is this move? What are you trying to accomplish? I have no idea!!!!
Last game was a completely masterpiece. THE BEST
My heart was beating so fast!!!
Omg you're right. I counted him out
That's the GM diff
Best bullet player in world history. If you get in a 0 second increment time scramble with Hikaru. You will lose

Hikaru is inevitable
Silence, brand!
Silence, brand.
Hikanos
Until El Magnito shows up
Silence, brand.

You should end the series with a showmatch against the actual Botez
he ended it like a month ago, but the videos are still posting because he doesn't want to post 8 hours of content in one day
@@stuff1878 yeah but he should've ended it that way xD
That last game was amazing. The way he handle the pressure in the few last second. OMG
16:35 damn.. Love it when Nakamura switches gears like that
Last game was amazing. Great win my man!
1msj myke tower name hard
disgusting how he saved that game :D
Wow"
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I bet his opponent raged like nothing else 😂
Imagine hikaru randomly playing botez gambit and finding the botez herself😂
He is already too high rated for Botez siblings haha
and then hikaru would be like-why do i hear boss music
@@byroncascante6088 He's not though. Even after the last game in the vid his Blitz rating is lower than Alex's.
@@byroncascante6088
The right way would be saying: "They never really were up to his level"...
He's been at it from age 5
You dare use my own spells against me, Hickey?
Flexing prep against the Queen sac. I'm guessing these players know they're in a Speedrun.
I would've made 2 moves in those last 10 seconds, hanging the rook and the bishop😂😭😱🤯
That last 10 seconds of the final game was CRAZY! 🔥
some of the greatest chess content ever truly
Incredible speed during that last game. Well played!
The people making your intro's should get a raise. They are always good
That music is shite though.
hikaru's editor ^
If editor got a raise every time after such comment he would be richer than Hikaru. (but yeah, he is awesome)
I really think this has been the best challenge on hikarus channel so far
this speedrun is my favorite content on youtube right now
I know. Me too. I'm always looking for the next installment
You really gotta get the upload schedule more consistent on these speed runs man, we were over a month behind and now we're getting bombed with
1/2 uploads a day 😂
More... always more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the awesome retrowave music in this video? It used to be on his old speedrun videos as well, I've been looking for it for years
That last game was insane what a come back!
0:28 That is a cursed image
I stopped breathing from 15:15 to his "ehyah"
Rumours says the last guy retired from chess after that game.
There's something satisfying about seeing someone try and comeback down a queen( and succeeding somehow) against strong players too.
Naka might be the best defensive and resourceful player that I've ever seen.
I love this series! I have an idea for the next content/handicap:
"Mouse Slip Castling" - King just moves 1 step to rook.
What you guys think?
Bongcloud?
That sounds nice. Yes, very similar to a bong cloud but lateral
this handicap is too small. maybe something like a rook and two pawns
won 5 rating points during the 17 minutes fight. Going gets tough...
'Obviously i'm down a queen but he's got a weak pawn on e5' - This positive attitude inspires me
Got to love the 90s sitcom intro.
Can't wait to watch the Botez rating win. Ending was spectacular.
That last game was insane. Incredible finish.
Pure genius. Last game espacially
Love this speedrun
so good at chess he is doing side quests now
Last game is insane
“I don’t know why I’m suddenly going insane?”
After 9 hours of chess with no rest???????
When the opponent finds amazing moves:
Hikaru: Ah...i can't believe he found that...that's amazing...
Levy: Cheater. No way he found that without a computer.
15:38 wasn't rook take bishop, a free bishop?
Eh.. no? Opponent has Qb3 after I think winning back the piece
It is
Yea I saw that too. It was free.
It probably doesn't work, champ. For example:
1Rxe5 Qh2
2 Rc5 Qg1+ and the R on c5 falls
or
1Rxe5 Qh2
2Rb5 (so it doesn't get forked again) Qh1+ and either the R on f3 or the B falls
or
1Qh2 R(5)f5 (so the R's protect each other, and the forks don't work)
2Ne7 R(5)f4
3Nd5 Rf5
4Nc3+ Ke1
5Qe2#
@@zaga9602 Qb3+ doesn't do anything that I'm aware of.
I stop breathing that last part.
Wow, amazing luck in the end game! Good job, Hikaru!
2:39 I like the way he corrects his own pronunciation of "importnt" there
También lo noté! Puro crecimiento personal!
This serie is amazing! Please never stop. 🙏🏼😍
Omg this speedrun has been an absolute pleasure to watch.. loving every video.. but it’s eventually gonna end 😢
Props to the opponents. They put him to the test! Well done.
Men i was sweating during the last game, and i wasnt even playing!

THIS IS PEAK CHESS CONTENT.
Let's goooo great start of the day
Its noon for my country
Is it just me or is Hikaru visibly happier these days? Like 50% happier?
More like 51%
He’s playing chess for fun now
I’d be pretty happy too if I qualified for the freaking candidates
Hikaru's thumbnails are unmatched 😂🔥🔥
When you try to follow the games as a novice, but at 16:35 it essentially devolves into
taka-taka-taka-taka-taka-taka-taka-taka
while the opponent only goes
taka-taka-tak...taka-tak..taka-taka...tak-taka... tak-ta....
The most apt comparison I can come up with would be a GM's brain going 2x speed Brain Power by Noma vs 1.25x speed by the opponent.
Nevertheless, this offers some great insight into how great minds do their work, even if it is just a fleeting glimpse of the gears that grind in the background.
that last game was such an incredible show holy cow!!!!
Dude is a fking monster!
It’s easier to find a piece sack when you’re up five. Otherwise they’re probably less likely to even consider it.
I really hope this series keeps going until Hikaru beats Magnus without a queen
I don't skip ads so he makes ad revenue, thanks for the videos Hikamura Nikaru!
You gotta challenge alexandra botez either for the last game or after you reached her peak rating
those thumbnails are getting better and better
Hikaru you should combine Botez Gambit & Bongcloud Gambit next speed run! Start with the bongcloud then do the infamous queen sac!
solid thumnail
15:38 could have taken the beesh-opp because of the pin
Last game🔥🔥
Holly, the last one was Intense💆🏻♂
It's funny how he gets a bit salty but can't be mad because this series is insane. I wonder how GothamChess chances would be against Hikarus Botez Gambit.
This still looks like smurf even when he's down a queen...
that cheese on the last game
🧀🤤😬
that last game was INSANE
That last win was epic.
The last match should be against the Botez siblings
Andrea wouldn't stand a chance Alexandra could win if she plays her best and gets a little lucky.
Wow last game
when 3 blitz games last 17 minutes
LEGEND!
day is complete with botez gambit
Last game was legendary
I've never seen a more cursed thumbnail
whats the song in opening ?
btw great video :)
I LOVE botez Gambit speedruns
3:03
Rb1, Rb1
Make a move that makes no sense
That move literally is crazy
Why on Earth would you play that?
At least castle your king
What the heck is this move?
What are you trying to accomplish?
I have no idea!!!!
last one ... incredible
Grande Hikaru! Sigue así!! Saludos desde Mexico 😎🇲🇽🔥
This is such an entertaining series..
Last game was genius.
all Hikaru need is one pass pawn in endgame
The sac isn’t losing material if he sacs a rook for a bishop and 3 pawns
These thumbnails are the best ever Lol
I don't know why am I doing this exactly
- GM Hikaru , Greatest speed chess player of all time .
Your thumbnails are always perfect
Last game final seconds🔥🔥
Upcoming a title player. Waiting for that. Let see what the CM will do.
We've seen Hikaru vs an FM and GM already in this run?
Holy shit that last game tho
Last game show his skill
love this series
The Hithanos thumbnail 😂
That thumbnail🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
*tryhards
it's a pun
I still love the thumbnails
Pumping Chess Music!!!!!
Damn that last game!
10:23 is rook c4 a good move in tis position
12:44 scene from intro
At 4:48 why couldn’t the opponent take the pawn on G4 with the rook
