Oftentimes it looks like Hikaru is giving odds because he has no queen and Levy has a queen. But it's actually Levy who is giving odds because he has no Hikaru and Hikaru has himself. And having a Hikaru is worth at least nine queens.
“I consider someone a GM when they force me to concentrate rather than chill and eat a sandwich” - Hikaru says in another video In this video, Hikaru is eating a burrito. So You know what that means RIP Gothem..
You know, after watching top rated Chess players play Chess I actually learned something. No matter how good I get in chess I will always say "I am an idiot" when making bad moves.
Ah. The classic five knights mating pattern. I played that in a casual game against my teacher in kindergarten in Egypt during a break in a rainy day in 1672.
Imagine going against hikaru and after getting checkmated, you check the stream and you see him cleaning up, eating lunch, and have a little nap while playing against you lol
Hikaru is just too good. I'm in awe really. I'm speechlees. Esp around 24:20, a few sec before, he says "it's prolly a draw if i push the centre pawn. I'll just push the side pawn for a win". I mean how he knows all of that. It is really a honor to see such a legend play. And we get to see so many games for free on youtube. It is really a blessing. Thank you Hikaru ❤
I am so pleasantly surprised at how cool I find you guys: HIkaru, Levy, Agadamator, Qiyu, Anna, et al... Such a cool diverse community of personalities.
This video actually made me think about how good Magnus is. Hikaru is an absolutely brilliant chess mind, who can destroy basically anyone outside of the world top 100 while eating a burrito and talking about Spaghetti westerns, while his opponents are deep in concentration and giving 100% of their effort. Meanwhile, Magnus seems to always get the best of Hikaru, and even Nepo. Hikaru is a genius, but Magnus is Stockfish.
I think the thing that makes me most upset is when he premoves an entire sequence in a time crunch that works perfectly for him and I don't even know what happened
When Hikaru says "I don't really know what's going on" - What hope do us 'scrubs' have? I find myself nodding, thinking "good move", but only because Hikaru has made it, not a fucking clue why he did it though, but it must be good right? :D
16:04 I was trying to figure out why Levy didn’t take the knight on d5 here with the queen, so for those who were also questioning, I figured it out - after Ng6 check & Kg8, Ne7 wins the queen via fork
Both of you are straight up clowns. Apparently no one read the comment because I was explaining why taking the knight was a bad move hahaha. Y’all a buncha squares Granted sacrificing the queen is better than what he did because it stops mate but why the hell would that matter, he was in a lost position
That guy is probably the worst IM in the world
oof
I don’t know about the “worst”, there is that one IM. IM Levy Something?.... oh wait.... ;)
I would also like to be the worst IM in the world. Might be nice to be the poorest billionaire too.

Are you gonna be uploading these games to your channel, Levy? I'd love to see your POV.
