I was expecting him to go takes takes takes takes then look at the ceiling to find a sequence of moves only visible to him and finally decides to castle anyway
@@WGMAtousa I was studying your videos. I bought chess books. I wanted to be like you. But after the first atrocity of a game, I no longer think studying chess would be beneficial to humankind. I mean why are we here really? To study chess? Surely there's more important things I can devote my time to.
With the bgm, this creates the most romantic matchup I've ever seen. Keep playing, this not only brings out the Love more, the romance more but the closest practice partner you can have ❤
Well Atousa, you may be outclassed at the chessboard, but away from it, you are the epitome of class. Best wishes to you in your new marriage and new country. As an American, I'm glad to have you here.
Why are you glad she is here again? Because you are an American which we can't really confirm anyway?! Would you be as drooling and leering if you were not an American?
Nice vibes. Refreshing change from the modern ‘rushed’ feeling when watching other chess cideos on TH-cam. Not saying I don’t enjoy the fast paced videos on here. This was relaxing. And, of course, it’s cool to see you two play one another.
Pregame assumptions: Hikaru will play a dubious opening on purpose to keep the game interesting Atousa will surprise him with a few good moves to get to an even endgame Hikaru wins the endgame with a sneak checkmate POSTGAME ANALYSIS: the fact that he played an actual opening in a fast game unironically shows his respect for her
I can't stop laughing by looking Hikaru's face. Specially at this point: 3:55 (By the way this video keep reminding of something Hikaru once said: "Be careful girl, I can slide my rook into your backrank")
This is such a great video. Going in my favorites so I can watch it again from time to time. The moment after the first game where you both look at each other (around3:57) is golden.
i think super gms are in another dimension. i will never understand what they think, how they think, how they arrived there. i think they are different from mere mortals.
@@TheDedlocare you blind? She is literally melting and Hikaru acts like a child with mannerisms you don’t see if you watch his streams. Even a heartless creep like me can see the awkwardness on mute… I smiled the whole way.
@@TheDedlocjust because you didn’t find it wholesome doesn’t mean others will feel the same way. other people beside you exist just incase you didn’t know. try to go out and touch some grass would you.
If Hikaru spend his brain resources searching for lines for women championship he will not have time to search lines against Magnus and the top levels. In other words he would have change his profession. He is also a streamer but he just use some casual lines there not the real ones.
love the content, wish you both the very best! I'm Iranian and rooting for all Iranian women fighting for their freedom. I know you have fought too and it it gives me great pleasure seeing you play chess with peace of mind.
Wait a minute...??? these two are married?? This fact WASN'T made clear at the start of the game! This is conflict of interest... wait until Kramnik hears about this!!
It is assumed that the castle is the one afraid of the queen, but when i found the queen afraid of the castle and trying to hide, I LAUGHT HARD.. Nakamori is a real beast .. Moves start from 8:10
Hikaru definitely grew up seeing his Japanese father. From a Japanese man's perspective, Hikaru seems incredibly happy. He's constantly holding back a smile. Men hide their happiness and embarrassment, while women enjoy seeing that concealed expression. That's the kind of culture we have in our country.
I didn't even know Hikaru was married. They have done a great job navigating the celebrity / privacy situations that can arise. She seems really classy. Total opposite to one couple I can think of, that shows it can be done. I don't think these two will be parodied on South Park anytime soon ! She looks madly in love with him as well, the way she looks at him from the start of the match, I didn't know he had a wife and/or girlfriend so I was instantly thinking "aye aye what's going on here then" !?! It seems mad to me this video is just being released now. Obviously not a pair of those "sell my soul for views" kind of people. I like that, it's very refreshing in these modern times. I'm happy they seem happy. Wish these two well.
out of the first five women chess players that I am subscribed to i have only seen 3 Andrea, Dina, Anna, but not Andrea or Nemo yet and you are another addition to the women of chess that I follow, thanks for the upload
I came here with no knowledge and I thought there was chemistry between you too. After reading the comments, I understand now. Congratulations to both of you.
@@Gilles45 When an A pawn 0:45 or H pawn is pushed 99 out 100 times it is best to do the same, mirror it ... Knowing this mind-set CAN help you to be better in "time management" (not burning 19 seconds) during Blitz & Bullet games ... This "chess insight" came to me after watching 1000s of chess videos last decade! ... So I tested it myself and it worked most of the time.
Hiki over the board is always crazy quiet lmao forget husband and wife, they don't even look friends. Pretty sure they both love each other a lot though
It likely just has to do with the amount of times he has sat down and played an over the board game. His mannerisms and the way he acts is hard to turn off, even if it’s his wife. He has played the game SO many times that it’s simply muscle memory and familiarity. He likely doesn’t even realize he is acting a bit strange or different than a so called “normal person” would when playing a board game with their wife.
Haha, Hikaru is always so stohic. Funny video. I know he's very conservative when it comes to his family so this was fun to watch him outside his comfort zone
Hikaru is playing a dangerous game 😂
The "sleeping on the couch gambit" did not stop Hikaru, truly a chess genius 😂
Lol thats funny
HAhaahahahaha
Lmaooo this is classic
helpp 💀💀
Lmao
Hikaru on stream: 😎🤣😆😂
Hikaru with wife: 😑😐
😂🤣
😂😂😂😂😂I thought that😂😂😂 the most funny person in stream
😂😂😂fr
THATS HIS WIFE??? THE GUYS MARRIED ?!?!?!
🤣🤣🤣
he destroys her in the sweetest most caring and respectful way possible LMAO
😶
Hikaru is just sitting like a well-behaved quiet baby hardly daring to make a sound.
Completely agreed
He looks so innocent😂❤
It's like hikaru is photo
They're probably used to not talking during games since it isn't allowed in tournaments
I was expecting him to go takes takes takes takes then look at the ceiling to find a sequence of moves only visible to him and finally decides to castle anyway
Good boy, good boy
Hikaru is holding himself back from absolutely stomping his lady 💀💀
G
Why stomp when you can ground n pound them 😂
I don't think he's holding back. He did stomp her
First time hikaru looks so innocent 😂
🤣🤣🤣
It's because of his hair haha
I would love to see "first time watches Hikaru stream"
Hikaru was completely dominated in this position. Look at her with that jaguar top and him with that school boy shirt smh.
The side effects of love...
Atousa is such a beautiful and talented lady, Hikaro found himself a keeper.
Well, this was wholesome. Never seen Hikaru this shy and silent, but calm at the same time!
He's like this in pretty much all over the board games tbh. It's a lot different than memeing on twitch.
Stop with the wholesome. It was nice not wholesome. You sound like you mother is still carrying you in her arms.
@@dandymcgee different vibe when he's playing Boston Mike lol
She’s way better than me but the only move I saw was to move the knight on the D file when Hikaru forked her rook and pawn with his pawn.
@@Optim40ok boomer
That slight little smirk on Hikaru's face throughout most of this video.... LOL!
playing chess with your loved one, calm music, no drama. this is how i like chess💐
nah it's all about the desk slamming, name calling, cheating accusations, banter, BM premove mates lol
@@XanEli1 100% agree 😂😂 man this is a romantic date not a chess game
Are they together?
@@_aje Yeah
Well that rook blunder was pretty dramatic to me!
Wife:
Hikaru: This is no laughing matter.
Hikaru is so cold even when playing against his wife xD
He’s in turmoil because he knows it’s a situation where he can’t win.
that's his wife?
@@zevelgamer. yes
Wot
Didn't know that was his wife. Glad you commented.
I love this so much! You two are lovely. And this is so sweet. Thanks for doing this!
I imagine her waking up every morning to Hikaru right in her face saying, "Hello, Welcome Back Everyone😁" with a big, cheesy smile
LMFAO
Bruh why 😂 😂 😂
For todayyzzz video😂
“To TODAAAAAYS VIDEO”
Wtf😂
It's amazing how Hikaru could controll his attitude or manners become so calm. 😊

find a girl who looks at you the way hikaru's wife looks at him
She was blushing the whole video, while Hikaru tried so hard not to😂
only person hikaru nakamura cant say "thats a bad move." to when they actually play a bad move.
3:52 A very subdued reaction from Hikaru. Smart.
he was thinking "so bad, so bad..."
Lovely video, thanks for sharing and good luck to you both.
Chess conjures so many emotions - I felt the more positive ones watching this and reading the comments section…Thanks for sharing the moment!
This is sooooo wholesome 🥹🥹
Please make more content like this 🙏 Chess PowerCouple 😍 love wins!
Love seeing you guys play ❤❤
Yeah, them playing with the music seemed so peace-bringing to our minds.
Hiiiii Nemsko ❤️
Less famous people getting more comments?! Let me fix that
Finally Hikaru felt the true horror!
If he wins, he sleeps on the couch.
She is like: So nice with a friendly match 😊
He is like: You're going down 😡
I bet he likes it when she goes down😏
XD
Friendly match 😅 chess stands for a battlefiels 😊
why is she so damn flirty llol
@@seife41 That's her Husband why not💖

I have rewatch this video, and the music background makes it so sweet.
Please do more, so calm and entertaining. Great couple!
What a pleasant surprise! Please keep these coming when you have the time. Great games!

No mercy from Hikaru. I would have offered him a draw and hope that he has a moment of insanity and agrees
Haha, amazing video. Love the piano music that has been added! Watching the legend smiling playing this game is really cool❤
Pregame assumptions:

What a G for showing her respect
@@Otomega1 Ben Finegold: Hikaru can play h1 because he's a Grandmaster
@@r.mcdonnell8614 Yeah but Hikaru can play h1 against gm's. Top 10 gm's....
That first game I can see SO much love in both of their eyes when Atousa blundered and Hukaru was giggling ❤❤
Could you make this a weekly thing please? Just one video like this with Hikaru, every week. Please?
I can't stop laughing by looking Hikaru's face. Specially at this point: 3:55
(By the way this video keep reminding of something Hikaru once said: "Be careful girl, I can slide my rook into your backrank")
...Or bishop
This is such a great video. Going in my favorites so I can watch it again from time to time. The moment after the first game where you both look at each other (around3:57) is golden.
Loved the games.. I would watch more content like this from u guys 🙏🍁
3:45 Bro brought domestic violence to a whole new level😂
hah hikaru looks like a shy puppy here, barely makes a sound. He loves his wife, i wish em a happy life, and many little baby pawns :D
The dude was in a lose-lose situation. hahah
Atousa: Hey Hikaru, want to play chess?
Hikaru: 🗿(piano starts playing)
At least no a5/h5 nonsense from Naka. A relief that the disrespect opening is not for his wife 😂
Exactly my thoughts 😂😂
Maybe a bit later
This is wholesome content. Not gonna lie, Hikaru dressed as the Doc OTB against his wife would be hilarious😂
i think super gms are in another dimension. i will never understand what they think, how they think, how they arrived there. i think they are different from mere mortals.
You guys will live a long happy life Goodluck and that gasp of hanging a full rook was funny 😂.
As an Iranian I love to see you two playing chess together wish you all the best and keep up with the good content and work ✌️✌️
This is so wholesome. It made me smile.
That's just the music working on your subconscious lol if you mute the video it's just 2 people playing chess and there is nothing special about it
@@TheDedlocI watches it on mute. It was still rather wholesome as this is perhaps the first time we see them together after the marriage.

Imagine having Hikaru as your training partner

Atousa is one of the best in asian championship too
@@miladirani4313 But next to the next world champion and the rival of Magnus Carlsen himself?
This is probably the strongest chess couple in the world now

liberal clown
The expression on Hikaru's face is like when he is playing Magnus Carlsen, ready to strike, and brutal... Yet, with an occasional, affectionate smile
See how Hikaru is smiling 😂😂
A whole Hikaru😂
I was waiting for a lecture from Hikaru in the last game. Great game from both of you guys. ❤
Saw a different side of Hikaru...I like it! The background music is very nice.
Wait a minute...??? these two are married?? This fact WASN'T made clear at the start of the game! This is conflict of interest... wait until Kramnik hears about this!!

Accusing this man of cheating is disgraceful
Im with you Naka 💯 ❤❤❤❤❤
If you love hikaru so much, name one of his albums
@@romusa10the Kramnik gone rogue album
Must specify that it's cheating in chess
Well, I'm not accusing the man of anything, but pre-2020 Hikaru was accusing many people of cheating himself :) Maybe it's a karma of some sort
@@samstone011995 yes it is common chess paranoia
Has Hikaru ever been this quiet for this long in his entire life? 😂
Great chemistry. She totally cooked him with those looks she gave him... 😂
omg that gasp after you hung the rook. This was awesome. Really enjoyed watching this.
All is fair in love and war..... And chess. Congrats to the happy couple. May all your days be joyous.
Hope you both have a great life! Hikaru's chess has brought me many hours of joy.

This man is showing no mercy 😂 hope this hikaru collab elevates your YT channel Atousa, you deserve it!
Hikaru dont forget happy wife, happy husband. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is the Hallmark Movie of chess content and I am so here for it.
