They should play the ultimate prank on Hikaru... Blinfold him and set him up against Magnus Carlsen but have him think its someone else and not Magnus.
Would not matter who he's against blindfolded chess is a game of very few moves despite the appearance of many. He sees the board in his head bc there's only 1 to 2 moves someone will make after the 4th move. Thus very easy to see
Carlsen can reach 100% accuracy in his moves, chess.com's algorithm would notice that and ban Botez's account. It is better if they use an engine with 2500 of elo.
@@xwhitemers885 Lol what? It's literally called "BlindTakes". It's Hikaru's account for when playing blind, obviously he needs someone to make the moves for him.....
Thanks so much Hikaru for the games! Check out his twitch at: www.twitch.tv/gmhikaru or his youtube at th-cam.com/channels/weCc7bSMX5J4jEH7HFImng.html. Also, xQc and Andrea must think somewhat alike because they both independently decided to calculate with bangs :P Must be some 5head thing, I don't know. Too advanced for me.
It's interesting to me how Andrea prefers "Bang Bang" for her chess analysis. I'm more of a "Boom Boom" man myself. Edit: Other honourable mentions: Jerry (chess network): Chop Chop Danny Rensch: Takes Takes Agadmator: Captures Captures
@@Dexecute. in the 1st round match of magnus invitational it was 2-2 until the armageddon. Hikaru defeated him twice. Then hin the final he defeated him again. Magnus sometimes pulls a good game
it goes hand in hand with being good at chess. you cant be good at chess if you cant visualize the next moves in the board and you also need insane memory to remember openings and lines and theory.
I dont think it changes much to someone from Hikaru level to play blindfolded one game at the time, these players can sometimes visualize plays much better in their heads. Their memory is also trained to recognize and remember positions, in the same way that pianist can remember thousands of complex songs
She goes for the "bang, bang." I go for the "duh, duh, duh, duh" to the canon in D intro theme, like I am some sort of genius. Then it's 95 percent of the time followed by "Duh? How did I miss that damnit"
Thanks for the content!!! This was great to watch, ignore all the idiots trying to put you down who would never be able to get good at chess in a million years
So much of this is reminiscent of the time paralysis that we saw Kasparov exhibit in St. Louis. Everyone watching just thinks, "Move, NOW, IMPROVE any undeveloped piece!" And yet the player 'burns' half a minute trying to respond to a threat that does not exist! Even the former World Champion, Garry Kasparov, exhibited this effect. I think training by 'sparring' with under five seconds per move conditions may help. Also, I wonder whether too much Puzzle Rush may cause players to always be looking for some tactic; tactics rarely present themselves on move three. You cannot spend thirty seconds per move in a five-minute game, unless you think you can win it in ten moves! Try to get into a rhythm in which you do all of your deep thinking when the opponent's clock is ticking. Andrea played really well, but she became a 'deer in the headlights' after 3. h4. A single Pawn, or even a Piece, that 'attacks nothing' cannot usually do any harm. It's move three, and you have no pieces out yet: get a piece out and THEN think. Lastly, with no increment, falling behind by thirty seconds in a five-minute game is probably equivalent to being down almost a full Rook or thereabouts. Once you initially begin to dig a hole on the clock, then the situation gets even worse, now forcing you to look for that tactical knockout. It's always wonderful watching the Botez Sisters do battle, so keep making these lovely videos. These were tough losses, but even the strongest players seem to occasionally get hypnotized by the clock. - j q t -
In the first game, Andrea already lost her advantage by taking the pawn on c4. Better was Rbd8 to prevent white from taking the pawn on d5 ! But her blunder was Rfd8 ?? Better was Nh6 to prevent the threat of the bishop on b1.... and she still can save the game.
You should play a prank on Hikaru where the speaker is in on it and somehow Hikaru loses a queen (which is not actually possible on the board) and Hikaru starts doubting his own mental chess game and the goal is for Hikaru to take his blindfold off and freak out that he missed a move somewhere XD
I'm sure it wouldn't really matter but maybe it'd make it more challenging if they used unconventional openings and force him to remember weird placements.
Am i the only one who is literally speechless and overwhelmed by someone playing chess blindfolded and be so good or its completely normal in chess community and you guys are just psychopats

i know this is a joke and all but does he even have like a gf or a wife?
@@shivness he has a fiancée I believe
Apparently Hikaru is cheating. He has a ton of chess knowledge stored in his brain, giving him an unfair advantage.
How DARE he.
He installed stockfish in his retina
When i first read I thought he was cheating in another way
Has every chess move known on usb plugged into his brain

No point in going to that much trouble. If they're going to cheat, they can just use an engine.
This would work with most gms in general

Maybe there is an answer about the best move on the ceiling?

She's mastered the art of rocking the bare midriff. No way Hikaru can compete with her there.

Talk about the Hikaru effect. I imagine it’s high pressure trying to clip him in a game.
And then the Magnus effect is when Hikaru plays down vs Magnus. I wish Hikaru would just be confident vs him

I’ll never understand how people are able to play blindfolded. Simply amazing.
it goes hand in hand with being good at chess. you cant be good at chess if you cant visualize the next moves in the board and you also need insane memory to remember openings and lines and theory.
_"He hit me with E4. It's all over now."_
First move, and Andrea throws in the sponge. Brilliant!
This is really enjoyable to watch.
widepeepoHappy
I have two reasons to watch this: Hikaru being too good even blindfolded, and the Botez girls being too cute.
Diddykong8775 and they hot no cap
Oh yes that's a perk😊
yo sussy baka
3:20 AM and watching siss botez, hoping for a nice botez gambit.
Did not disappoint

It’s 6:30am for me
She actually did it. Last move of the game 2. 😁
I love how alex was soo nervous for andreas match 😂 .. gotta love them both 😍🤩
Hikaru is permanently blindfolded after witnessing XQC’s 6 move defeat to a rising Chess Champion
Should've used the wooden shield or the lobster pincer smh
Hikaru’s like that one spongbob episode where he drives best when he’s blind folded 😭
I dont think it changes much to someone from Hikaru level to play blindfolded one game at the time, these players can sometimes visualize plays much better in their heads.
Their memory is also trained to recognize and remember positions, in the same way that pianist can remember thousands of complex songs
Ah yes GM PVC's bing bang is now everywhere in the chess world
“It’s just an online game against a blind man!”
🤣🤣🤣
OMG, smart and gorgeous!! Perfectness! Hikaru is the boss!
Hikaru playing blindfolded vs Botez Sisters: use 1% of his brain
Hikaru drinking coffee from his mugs: 101%
Why do i always expect "Bangity bang, i said a bang bang bangity bang" everytime she says "bang bang"?
Also, what's up with that?
too much Barney Stinson i guess
ah yes, the XQC language.
Yes! I was thinking the same thing 🤣

Bing Bing Bing Bing. Nopes, that's not good. Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing. Yep.
I like the fact that she wants it to be educational.
I was watching this blind too. I didn't look at the board the whole video, just kept looking at the bottom left.
Pokimane simp vibes
Hikaru can remember where all 32 pieces are but he can't remember where his coffee is.
Out of 100 words 90 words are bang! Bang! Bang!😂😂
I'm glad to know i'm not the only one who makes sound effects when calculating and visualizing moves. Maybe it's actually common among chess players.
the bing bang theory
My only sound effect is a loud "fuck!!!" when I made a mistake.
I'm always going "boom boom"

he's blindfolded for a reason.
Hand and brain Hikaru xqc and botez sisters
pls make this happen
That would be pretty one sided.. The sisters would crush elo 4000 xQc... But it would be fun though..
It's almost like your forget that he's blindfolded.

casual blindfold destruction

so fly like a 10:56
