It's really funny how he actually talks with chat all the time while solving the puzzles when i literally can't breathe and make a play on a videogame at the same time
That actually would be a good puzzle, even if we knew how to solve chess. Since more then one opening will lead to either a forced win or draw, there is not one best move. All puzzles have one move that wins the game outright, and all the other throw the game. At the start you can play more then one move and still get the optimal result, tho most likely in a different amount of moves, they still give the same outcome.
It's a smart idea for classical because it takes like half a second to register where he's looking, so puzzles honestly dont take that much time in the first 10-20, plus the eye tracker cant see his ceiling lmao
I lower rated puzzles it will be a forced move basically every time, never vague or positional, so the only problem is if you are expecting something vague and positional
@mr. smiley It also shows you the opponents previous move. If black moved and it's your turn now it doesn't really take a lot of thinking to figure out your color.

@@lexistential I thought about that but playing chess increases the chance of becoming a GM. So the correct comparison is to find the ratio of people attempting to become good or GM at chess versus the amount of GM's. total amount of chess players range from 200-600 million. best case scenario of 200 million with ~2000 GM's would put you at 1/100,000 or 0.01% which is significantly better than your odds to become billionaire but globally the amount of millionaires is 0.9% and in north america and europe a respective 7.3% or 2.3% which is higher by a factor of 90, 730 and/or 230 compared to chess. Meaning it might truly be easier to become a millionaire than GM by even the most conservative estimations.

@@MultiGoban Oh wow okay yes I am wrong about my first statement. But pretty sure when she was written she wasn't looking up the ceiling, she probably started doing that as the series came out, thus maybe stealing it from Hikaru.

He's not even trying to go fast here, check out his video titled "Record breaking Puzzle Rush". It's just rapidly flashing chessboards as Hikaru solves puzzles blazingly fast.
3:32 “does it matter where the king goes?” Y’all need to check this position out in analysis. If the king goes to h4, the position is FASCINATING. Both player have a rook and a queen for TENS of moves, but black is up 4 points, because black can EVENTUALLY force a queen trade and eventually promote the other pawn
Yooooo! Let’s gooo. I really wanted to see this but I didn’t know how and I missed it. I also wanted To see your one with Gotham and I saw it on more gm hikaru!
Ok. I played a game which had a simular style to puzzle 37 and I'm happy to know that there was a puzzle that I never had seen before has that exactly same movement.

Chess is basically a language. When you master it you see the board differently. You process it more effectively. Like how you read your native language. If you havent mastered a language, you take time to process what you are reading/hearing. Chess is the same way. Its basically just a mind bogglingly complex spacial language which can takes decades to read effectively.
Даа , это просто гений , я даже не знаю Шахматы это талант или всё таки можно натренироваться и играть отлично в эту игру, но мне интуиция подсказывает что всё таки талант , потому что это как и игра на гитаре если есть талант то будешь играть , Хикару это пример таланта и интелекта несомненно , не каждому дано играть в шахматы так же шикарно как это делает он
Qf5+; if Ke2, then Qf3 check, and winning after Kd2 Bb4+; if kd2, then Bb4+. There might be mate somewhere, but this should be winning. edit: if Qf5+ Qe4, then Qh3+, and black can’t get away without losing material; the black queen stays alive and eventually forks white’s passed pawn.
Before I even know if it's white or black to move this man has already solved the puzzle and the one after that
In this video he does it really really slow. Normally. In puzzle rush he just solves puzzles in like 0.6 sec

One of the problems of being a GM is seeing things in a low-rated puzzle that the makers didn't think of.
@@farleydbear there are puzzle makers tho, although I don't know if the puzzles made by people are uses in puzzle rush/puzzles mode
the engine being used to double check the puzzles helps a lot with that
The moves come from the engine and result in biggest possible forced advantage so theres not much room to debate most of the time.
I lower rated puzzles it will be a forced move basically every time, never vague or positional, so the only problem is if you are expecting something vague and positional
I think there are puzzles that were made by humans. Just, it is not this one
bruh it takes me at least 10 seconds to know if white or black is playing
