Equal parts motivating and depressing watching you crush my rating bracket while talking to chat and bopping to music. Looking forward to the intermediate opening tierlist.
One of my favorite videos on TH-cam. I keep coming back to it. The 1300-1900 stretch of this speedrun is prime chess content. I just miss the OG Bongcloud speedrun, too bad it’s all lost footage. It was on TH-cam for awhile but got DMCA’d.
@@HenryMcCraken4 i watch a lot of the videos and browse comments whilst doing so, i don't take in the time and effort to have a pointless argument with countless ppl if i disagree with them (this guy does that)
I think what he was reacting to was what black could've done next. fxe5 allows black to play Qh4. with a double-attack on the d pawn, white must respond with Ne2 to defend, losing the initiative while simultaneously blocking his rook's open file and restricting the range of his bishop and queen. Black's pieces are much more active and there is also good counterplay on the queenside for black in this scenario.
No he did not miss a hanging queen you can hear his commentary and he was certainly aware that he could capture the queen with his bishop after the opponent moved the knight. But he would trade 2 pieces for a queen because after opponent moved Nxe4 Bxf2 Nxf2. But he chose to win another minor piece for a pawn and maintain his bishop on that strong square and as you can see the opponent just traded later the rook for the light bishop because it was so strong.
Hikaru has created an entirely new lexicon for chess (a good thing since Google responds to "chess lexicon" with zilch). Juicer, Snipers, the Two Juicers on adjacent diagonals, ...
Also, Hikaru goes for tricks and quick checkmates against the weaker players which aren't objectively sound. That's something an engine would never do.
f3 can be played but why. Rxd6 Kc8 Rxf6 and you win a rook on a8 with check Qe4+ g6 and you defended against mate threat without spending move cuz you already defending and won knight and 2 pawns in meantime. Magic. Never defend against threats if yours are stronger.
Would be pretty cool if you made a video for this 80's/synthwave style playlist, just like you did for the electro swing one. There are some really nice tracks in there I would like to know the name of.
Especially when he said if he takes he looses the game. I don't understand either. I put it in an engine and it was a half point better to take the queen. Now I can sleep tonight.
This is like an nba player showing up to play with the kids at the local elementary school 😂. Also looks like you’re saying Aman has a 1700 trash rating😂
Hikaru is by far my favorite chess player for the skill and the personality. Magnus is cool, but if they were facing head to head I root for Hikaru every moment of every game.
I don't see the either, but it looks like his queen side is in danger. A move like Qa5 or Qb6 looks spicy Disclaimer: I'm a total chess noob, so I hope someone finds the best move
@@tuey3891 Qb6 gives black the initiative against the d4 pawn and if knight defends (only way not to lose it) it's really bad positionally, probably what most people would call a mistake, not blunder, but definitely a big swing given Hikaru was better before
You pay more attention to the chat than the game. I like streamers that pay more attention to the game and talk about the game rather than entertain the chat.. i know it's Twitch but still
Not entirely sure the nahkmanson gambit is "garbage" (is better than the Jerome's at least lmao) but maybe Hikaru can consider playing it when black goes for Italian 2 knights instead of giuoco piano.
Nice music And he’s lucky his opponents castle early. My try-hard opponent’s literally sweat and wait till I take one and castle first. it’s nintendo music
I don't think Hikaru knows what 'fossilize' actually means. It's more when you can entomb a black knight on a8 with pawns on a5 and b6. Hikaru just means 'capturing an enemy piece'.
I dont know why but its so soothing to eyes to see hikaru destroying everyone.. its like i am getting revenge for all my miserable defeats
Welcome in the rage team, I m the boss here.
Lol
Playing Hikaru looks terrifying. He's beating players twice my rating with premoves in 20 seconds. I would just have to resign.
He is on another level. I understand nothing of his play when i watch him live, i feel like dog trying to understand humans speech
@@bestiazyt make no mistake,dog understand human to certain level. Me watching Hikaru playing chess is like dog watching global economy news
Just hope that you make the right moves by chance
Imagine how good Magnus is

“I hit the pawn, King is gettin sauced on the diag by my two snipers here so it’s just wins”
Personally, I think it's very unpleasant and cringey that Hikaru has picked up idiotic words like "juicer" and the like when it comes to chess....
Wi11daThri11 just little obnoxious things that tick me too
you guys are so sensitive nowadays
@@Wi11daThri11 well I don't see what makes juicer idiotic. Sure, I guess it is not formal but he is still colloquially conveying the same ideas.

Hikaru : ''French is not a bad opening, but a grandmaster playing it is weird''
Anish : ''Hold my course'' xD
Hikaru: "It's just playing for a draw"
Anish: "Well, that makes me even more dedicated to play it"
I think, he means the Exchange French as white, not French per se.
Anish got so high rated because he drew all of his games including against very strong grandmasters :)
These thumbnails just keep getting better.

Haha, epic! He is going for the Jerome😂 Legendary Hikaru🙌
I feel so dumb when I see him play... he sees tactics so easily lmaoo. I know he's GM, but woah
41:21
the best moment oiyoiuy
12:57 did Hikaru miss a hanging queen? After the knight moves doesnt the bishop hit the queen?
Premove
yeah...m thinking same

great insights there about the trophy thingy by Hikaru, I didn't realize that xD
The Jerome vídeo that Aman did was a piece of art, I don’t know why bothering to use a picture of him :/
yes its kind of scummy to do so
31:10
Random minute
31:50 wasn't that a free piece?
@@davidegallo2185 queen was hanging
@@davidegallo2185 no as you'd lose your queen to whites bishop

You can always play 1... Na6, the Sodium defense.
thats incredibly intimidating, quite inspiring too
Which video does he play gothamchess?
I had my first Hikaru dream last night.
Thank u for the videos Hikaru. Love them always.
Hikaru has created an entirely new lexicon for chess (a good thing since Google responds to "chess lexicon" with zilch). Juicer, Snipers, the Two Juicers on adjacent diagonals, ...
its so damn satisifying seeing a gm destroy a normal guy sitting on his pc playing chess LMAO, they never know what hit them.
Dude got his knight, bishop, and rook trapped all in the same game😂
The thumbnail never dissapoints us!
Exactly 😃😃.....
11:00 "thank you too bad bitches"
its not even the chess anymore. Its the thumbnails and titles making me click. Its the interactions making me stay. top content.
I know nothing about chess, so can someone explain to me why we didn’t take the bishop with the pawn at 13:13 and then take the rook?
I watch this and i just feel like quitting chess and to think there is actually people out there who win against him my brain hurts.
I love how he trounces these 1700s that eat my for breakfast
43:36 Hikaru.exe has stopped responding...
If I was playing Hikaru and didn't know it was him and was a random 1800, I'd be convinced he was using an engine
But he moves way too fast. He premoves a lot, which engine users don't really do.
Also, Hikaru goes for tricks and quick checkmates against the weaker players which aren't objectively sound. That's something an engine would never do.
bro i love this shit man...you destroyed those guys like its nothing
We need a book about garbage and meme chess openings by Hikaru.
@2:52 if the black knight moved to g4 to set up check mate, whats the best move for white?
Pawn to f3 would be my best guess
f3 can be played but why. Rxd6 Kc8 Rxf6 and you win a rook on a8 with check Qe4+ g6 and you defended against mate threat without spending move cuz you already defending and won knight and 2 pawns in meantime. Magic. Never defend against threats if yours are stronger.
HELP ME!!! What's the blunder at 15:00
That's what I am trying to figure out too
I think its Qb6. Pins pawn to queen and likely wins it, or the e pawn if white plays Ke2.
One step away from "e4 and I'm winning."
Would be pretty cool if you made a video for this 80's/synthwave style playlist, just like you did for the electro swing one. There are some really nice tracks in there I would like to know the name of.

No clue. :(
@@chessmasters9012 ah, so after 1. fxe5, Qb6 2. Ne2, Nxe5, losing a pawn?
13:58 is just some casual premoves, leading to mate😨
Love the losses/draws count
The juicer of course
1:05
Even if you manage to play accurate move against hikaru you're gonna lose on time😂
You can always go for The Delayed Jerome
13:00 why not take the queen? If Kxd4 cxd4 he has Rxg4 and he only loses an exchange instead of the queen for two pieces what am I missing
He premoved
13:00 why didnt you take the queen!!
Bxe2
And after 3 moves at 13:12 why you played Rc8, you couldve played Cxd2+ then Hxg4 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Men!!! This is Hikaru playing.. How he beats his Opponents is like Eating Ice Cream for him 🤣🤣🤣
13:00 why did he premove? he couldve took the queen i dont understand two pieces for a queen is that a mistake??
Especially when he said if he takes he looses the game. I don't understand either. I put it in an engine and it was a half point better to take the queen. Now I can sleep tonight.
I love these thumbnails 😂
Hikaru’s so fast with the calculations the engine reads “time out” as invalid move
The thumbnail is sick broooo
This is like an nba player showing up to play with the kids at the local elementary school 😂. Also looks like you’re saying Aman has a 1700 trash rating😂
Pretty sure thats hambo in the thumbnail

15:02 whats the blunder i cant see it
15:03 can anybody find the blunder? I couldn’t
I don't see the either, but it looks like his queen side is in danger. A move like Qa5 or Qb6 looks spicy

Can anybody tell me the background music at 3:00 ?
Scandinavian isn’t so bad. It’s not great either but it isn’t really bad.
