It feels so good to hear these smooth conversations about chess, book recommendations and about his life and hobbies from Hikaru. There are people who unnecessarily hate on others and create drama, but people like me are here to enjoy chess community regardless of the player/person. So good to watch this in the midst of the stupid chess drama that's been going on. Keep up Hikaru and Thanks Dina for the amazing questionnaires! :)
That's kind of random, doubting someone who says they occasionally like watching such and such. Maybe Hikaru's got a private detective following you to know all your likes and dislikes... oh snap! Forgot. He doesn't CARE. But, he is a great chess player and pretty decent businessman too. Magnus wears many hats; most of them do. Because, of course, chess pays them so well. There! I just one-upped you on the random thing. But, no one cares, which is precisely how it should be. 😄
My advice is, keep up the great interviews! You ask questions nobody else does and it keeps them interesting. I actively seek out your interviews of the players. Good job as always
do you guys think he read the comment section from his first interviews on the tournament and that's why he gave the advice that he gave, it felt almost as if he were talking to the comment section.
That was actually great advice from Hikaru to Dina as a reporter... There are sooooo many reporters that just don't get it and make all kinds of incredibly stupid questions, especially when interviewing players that just lost a game. Dina taking that advice to heart will make her an even better reporter!
Dina is much better than anyone who asked questions at the World Championship. Man, those were ROUGH. I agree she's getting better and she started off decent.
I love how Nakamura carries himself as an adult outside of streaming. I like this version of him more. He's more relaxed and approachable and less of his streamer persona.
I really like when Hikaru is a bit more serious than in his streams, but not far too serious that he loses his humility. In this interview he's impeccable.
Hikaru, It's my guess that you may be reading this comment section, as you did for your other interviews, I just wanted to say, congratulations on getting to the finals and that you are right in respect to the stress after a game, it does show, it was a great advice that you gave, have a nice day.
One of the best books, Best Lessons of a Chess Coach. I've had it for several decades now. Even got to play a game against the author a few years back.
I know a nice restaurant around the corner that serves great giant German pork knuckles. Unfortunately they are too big for one person. Maybe you like to share one with me.
Hikaru makin the reporter blush hard core #kudos my guy! 4:05 lol Hikaru goes back to his hotel room.. looks in the mirror and runs his fingers through his hair and says " The ladies love me I can't help it when I look and play this good "
Dina is smashing it again with her interviews. Hikaru invests time I stock markets and tried making money with poker?! I would never imagine these things. Thanks for uncovering these trivia gold nuggets.
Funny how Hikaru is so articulate in these interviews, he barely stutters or repeats any words and his responses just seem to flow while on his streams I think he's just trying to fill in dead air all the time by repeating the same phrase 3 or 4 times in a row.
It sucks, but chess simply isn't popular enough to attract the sponsors necessary for more prize money. Maybe FIDE should try to convince Twitch to partner up on a new tournament.
interesting I heard him complimenting levon for managing to play well during the tournament as to not get into trouble in a single game. i guess the subtext is just what you're looking to hear though
@@Teal_. it could be a compliment to Levon's play, but the main thing is that's not why levon in calm in interviews Levon is always chill and relaxed and that's just him If hikaru is too competitive to be like that it's ok but don't give such excuses
Why? Just watch his chess streams and listen for when he gives his lousy stock advice, he does it a lot. The other day, "Yeah, Tesla is going to go right back up and will retouch 1200", two days later Tesla was around 800. His stock advice is just as shitty as everyone's stock advice.
Berkshire Hathaway. His strategy seems best. In a nutshell: buy value. Hold it a long time (Months, years), until you need to sell it to buy greater value. Seems to have worked well for him. Of course, there is a trick. Getting the value part right. Buying value does not necessarily mean buying something you think is underpriced although ultimately that ends up being the case. When he started, he didn't day trade. Didn't dabble in options. Just sound strategy for the long term. I am sure Hikaru has his own methods, perhaps someday he'll share them. But not yet, I imagine.

Twitch community ruined chess

Agree, I don't play chess, I occasionally watch some games but I do enjoy watching those interviews. Keep'em coming!
I really like Dina’s style. She asked for advice but she’s already doing better than most.
I agree. Could be a reason why she’s doing well, because she’s willing to take suggestions and be open to improving
Same
I am liking this comment for the first 4 words
Another good interview from Dina and Hikaru looks much more relaxed now than in the first interviews.
Well, he made it to the finals and has nothing to loose. The fav is levon for sure

@@ihatehiphopcultureandsosho6317 I like Maurice tho, was funny xd
@@ihatehiphopcultureandsosho6317 LMAO I GUESS THEY PLAYED NOT SO SMOOTH GAMES

@@ihatehiphopcultureandsosho6317 you nailed it
Yeh really good advice, hikaru's a smart guy, he understood what reporters thought process should be to.
"the ads are pretty lame"
lol true
I like this new relaxed Hikaru
I love how Nakamura carries himself as an adult outside of streaming. I like this version of him more. He's more relaxed and approachable and less of his streamer persona.
ironically it's because of his streaming that allows him to be this relaxed about a chess tournament
I really like when Hikaru is a bit more serious than in his streams, but not far too serious that he loses his humility. In this interview he's impeccable.
He's passionate about his passions. 🙂
Humbleness? 😅
@@Gabrielnfs Humility*
"it's not you, it's me"
Hikaru, It's my guess that you may be reading this comment section, as you did for your other interviews, I just wanted to say, congratulations on getting to the finals and that you are right in respect to the stress after a game, it does show, it was a great advice that you gave, have a nice day.
great to hear honest views from Hikaru !!
Great questions by the interviewer, which made this fun to watch
What is Hikaru referring to at 4:32? I hear "I just had my surgery", can someone explain? Thanks!
He said “I just misheard you”, but now I can’t unhear “I just had my surgery”
One of the best books, Best Lessons of a Chess Coach. I've had it for several decades now. Even got to play a game against the author a few years back.
“During my day off tomorrow, would like to grab a cup of coffee with you”
I know a nice restaurant around the corner that serves great giant German pork knuckles. Unfortunately they are too big for one person. Maybe you like to share one with me.
My man Hikaru always talking about money :D
Money is important. I dont blame him
That's because money and not rating is a way to measure someone's success in his/her field.
"When I was young I thought that money is the most important thing in life. Now that I'm old, I know that it is" ~ Oscar Wilde
CAPITALISM!!
Chess doesn't have much money compared to other sports. Hikaru still found a way to squeeze money from chess.
I'm a B level player and have read 10 chess books since learning chess and I own 30 more. Best Lessons of a Chess Coach is my favorite book so far.
We need more Dina's interviews ❤️
savage Dina with the touchdown on the finel qeustion u did great as always 😀
Dîna is doing great because Hilkaru had unfolded his arms unlike the earlier interviews.
She's probably the best interviewer I've heard, she always asks interesting questions
Holy an actual decent chess interview
Hikaru is worldclass in many aspects 👍👍👍
Ouch! Don't remind me of that Seattle Seahawks SuperBowl loss!! As a seattlelite, that was horribly painful. :)
i love your interviews Dina.
"I'd rather go on Twitch and watch ads" - Hikaru Nakamura, 2022
Amazing reporter
Could somebody list the three books.
the 2 books are in the notes under this video: th-cam.com/video/GeZex4fF1G8/w-d-xo.html, plus Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual
Hikaru makin the reporter blush hard core #kudos my guy! 4:05 lol Hikaru goes back to his hotel room.. looks in the mirror and runs his fingers through his hair and says " The ladies love me I can't help it when I look and play this good "
LMAO these interviews are the best 🤣

oh man, that last question... I hope Maurice Ashley heard that!
Can’t they just bring the Grand Prix back?
He likes those twitch ads cause they’re in his contract 😂
He put ice water on that last question from Dina.
Funny how Hikaru is so articulate in these interviews, he barely stutters or repeats any words and his responses just seem to flow while on his streams I think he's just trying to fill in dead air all the time by repeating the same phrase 3 or 4 times in a row.
Dina really felt that "chess is really brutal" moment of the interview
Dina is vibes!
Hikaru was so right. The Super Bowl commercials have been trash!
what was the second book name
I don’t know who these two people are but I ship them
Haha agreed but the interviewer is Dina Belenkaya. Russian woman grandmaster i believe, very strong player
What NFL team is Nakamura a fan of?
Couldn't hear the second book that he mentioned. I may need that one. Any help with the name
not sure but he said it was written by his step-father. so should be able to google it
Best Lessons of a Chess Coach by Sunil Weeramantry and Edward Eusebi
Hikaru doing what Carlsen should be, shining a spotlight on the low prize money. Go Hikaru!
It sucks, but chess simply isn't popular enough to attract the sponsors necessary for more prize money. Maybe FIDE should try to convince Twitch to partner up on a new tournament.
@@jc3drums916 Rex Sinquefield is willing to pay, catch is you have to become American 😂
She’s the best at interviewing
Which book did he say is great for 16, 1700??.. English is not my first language and I didn't get it..
his step father’s (Sunil Weeramantry) book, “Best Lessons of a Chess Coach”
the next one he mentioned was Kotov’s “Think like a grandmaster”
God I love her I am a simp
Hikaru lives in Los Angeles and the Rams are in the Super Bowl … I wonder what his team is? 😅
Probably the jets or browns 💀
@@arcadeplayer9804 Or the Raiders.
Even Hikaru knows the Seahawks should have run the ball
Advice: keep the interesting questions going
Hikaru is such a humble gentleman. His vibe is very good and inspirational. Every kid should look upto him.
Neither humble nor a gentleman.
seconded: dear Hikaru is neither of those things lol
damn hikaru is truly German
im pretty sure we all just watch for the girl
Why do almost all chess players completely avoid eye contact in these interviews? 😁 She is beautiful I guess!
This woman is not a "Junior Chess reporter" anymore...
Nakamura and his 'chess harakiri'...
"Levon is more chill in interviews because his games weren't as hard or stressful as mine"
Classic Hikaru
interesting I heard him complimenting levon for managing to play well during the tournament as to not get into trouble in a single game. i guess the subtext is just what you're looking to hear though
Whats so bad about saying that lmao. Classic hater, trying to make drama out of everything
@@Teal_. it could be a compliment to Levon's play, but the main thing is that's not why levon in calm in interviews Levon is always chill and relaxed and that's just him
If hikaru is too competitive to be like that it's ok but don't give such excuses
@@mno7pro323 Doesn't sound like an excuse at all, you're the one thinking it is an excuse. Also Levon and Hikaru are very good friends.
MAKE MONEY.
Hikaru
Dina 😍
“im women master’ - weird flex but okay
Funny thing she is Women GM. So she even undersold herself a bit.
it's cause Hikaru knew she was and he thought she said she was junior player, not reporter, so the great confusion.
Will you crash at may place Dina? Not your leauge Hikaru
dina🤣
Upvote if you want to see Hikaru stream stock trading!

Get som Dina😂
Dana wishes Naka was her bf
American Maushely should learn something from the Russian Dina. He always ask stressful and rude questions to the players.
I wonder if you have an agenda with these highlighted nationalities .
Will you crash at may place Dina? Not your leauge Hikaru
What?
