    Cool video idea. Hikaru plays a lot of brilliant blitz games that are worth deep analysis. The most inspiring ideas are found in the casual blitz matches between Hikaru and Naroditsky. Danya will drop a mental sac that seems to work... but then Hikaru finds the stockfish sequence that maintains the advantage.

      it's a blitz game tho... and from what i noticed he usually plays the shortest - 3min version... i think it's really low and insanely impressive. keep in mind that his opponents are insane too so it's A LOT harder to do correct moves than we (or I) when we play our games. i, for example, would probably have like 20% CORRECT moves vs them, *especially* in a 3 min game.

    • @thatguy5233

    In case you wonder about these moves being brilliant or not. He said at the beginning of the video, "new brilliant move algorithm". Indeed It used to be a extremely rare to get it before the update. Now is just a human like in depth. Basically now those brilliant moves are high level puzzle game. That even you and me as intermediate players can figure it out too, with some time given ofc.
    I was able to do 4 of these 5 puzzle. And I'm not remotely close to Hikaru's level. The difference between him and me is astronomical.
