@@neerajnongmaithem392 very true currently if anyone is Magnus's no 1 contender it's alireza , he has played a lot of top level chess that even vidit haven't done , Nihal has a long way to go hope he gets there someday
@@shrinivas105 Yes and Firouzja is 2700+ in all time formats while nihal can only dream. Also, I don't even see his name near the top of the grand swiss
It's seriously very scary how strong Hikaru is. Casually talking to chat, listening to music and crushing a talented youngster like Nihal with rubbish openings. Nihal has to get over the psychological pressure if he wants to do well in the SCC.
@@avikumarirm true but when he goes to the speed chess champion every single person in that tournament is a beast just like him and considering he’s very young he doesn’t have as much experience but doesn’t take away from the fact that his form is insane currently
The amount Nihal has improved is insane because if you have been a part of this channel for a long time you know hikaru has a video adopting Nihal from a while ago and u can see how much he has improved
@@budhhansda1183 Its arguable, Magnus is the world champ and technically the best player in every aspect, but Naka is often regarded as the best bullet player overall.
@@AgentSmith911 Magnus is arguably better with increment, but Hikaru is in my opinion the undisputed #1 blitz player without increment as he just manages his time so well it’s honestly insane
"Just move, stop thinking" -Hikaru Nakamura. That's why I love this guy. He has some of the best chess wisdom. My favorite of all time was "I'll just make this move. This...this is a legal chess move"
i like how he engages to a psychological battle for their upcoming official event but ended up having mental breakdown down for not spotting a lot of tactic out of garbage opening.
Guys nihal also not playing seriously i mean who is giving matter of doubt to whom you can't decide we will see real strength of both of these players in scc tournaments 🐐
@@kidisthing but who all were the finalist, hikaru and alizera. These two are much superior than nihal at the moment, anyone between these two can win, it depends upon who plays better on that day. Nihal is a very strong player but he needs a bit of catching up to reach his potential.
13:47 Nihal missed the dirtiest move i've seen in a while 31. Ne8 instead of 31. Qe5, attacking both of Black's rooks with his horse and queen. The move just wins the game on the spot for white.
I love watching u eventhough u say huge blunder when it's just a pawn at 900 rating one pawn is not anywhere close too a blunder the shit engine sometimes doesn't even call it an inaccuracy
@@manjos1108 bruh hikaru is literally the current speed chess champion and adopted Nihal before and beat him 7 -2 if he plays serious Nihal will get obliterated keep quiet kid

Also Hikaru : Calculates the whole endgame .
Hahaha yes.
Hikaru be Hikaru.

What makes you feel that Nihal is giving his best? Nihal is also playing rubbish openings. In important games Nihal has always been a beast lately

Pin this hikaru
I like your funny words magic man

Watching Hikaru have a mental breakdown about chess is funny as heck😂
Among all the top juniors right now, only Firouzja seems comfortable against Hikaru.
He actually defeated hikaru even in the bullet championship

Cool beard in the thumbnail.
Vote to see Hikaru streaming with that beard👇
Hikaru being Nakamura
Also Hikaru : he's fast at bullet

"Why are you 3400?" "3400 is not that high you guys.." :)
Legends: what I am doing?
just move,. STOP Thinking 0:45
1 year since no comments, let me fix that
you know Hikaru is good when he can beat Nihal and Andrew in bullet
Hikaru is what Nihal is like in 5 year's
its been a long time since we seen these 2, nice to see them again
hikaru:why i am thinking so slow?
me:damn they're so fast that i can't see clearly what's going on
This would be an incredible matchup in the SCC with increment.
I'm from the future and your dream has come true.
Watch the SCC semifinal this 12/15/2022 😉
20:58 super villain strategy of hikaru
i like how he engages to a psychological battle for their upcoming official event but ended up having mental breakdown down for not spotting a lot of tactic out of garbage opening.
Got partial deafness by hikaru blowing his trumpet so loudly.
21:06 too cruel or just hikki??
26:40 too salty or just hikki??
Guys nihal also not playing seriously i mean who is giving matter of doubt to whom you can't decide we will see real strength of both of these players in scc tournaments 🐐
For most of these casual games, the players play some more dubious openings as to not show their prep, so yeah both of them were not playing for real
Other than the opening, it is clearly visible that Hikaru is a better chess player than nihal at the moment.
@@neerajnongmaithem392 you can't decide anything alireza is a champion of past scc tournament in bullet so records doest matter

Sometimes brain traffic just get all janked up. Even Hikaru needs to slow down sometimes.

Love watching these games. So fast and so sharp!

Doesn't he have Ne8 there at 13:40..
Every thumbnail is an art work. Nice job editor!!!!
Smoking intellectual intensity, my friend. A glory to behold!
The clash of giant and baby titans
Great games hikaru! I love watching you play!
2:08 why didn't the other guy take the queen with the knight? Did he just missed it or was it a trap (im 1500 elo, don't know many traps yet)
the knight was pinned by the bishop
@@ayushdxt I'm so dumb lol thanks
Does anyone knows the name of the lofi musics of first match
You didn't play Nihal in the SCC though
he lost to wesley and hikaru crushed wesley badly 🥴his fault for not beating him
This is going to be the only game guys
okay we'll play one more
"2 will not turn into 20"...
Famous last words...
He meant bullet
why is nihal playing with spain's flag?
is that spain flag on nihal or am i blind
Not streaming today?
"Kinda maybe very not perfectly played in fact"
The Thumbnail😂🤣
Chess and furious
Hey, I reckon you could make a bangin vid from Levy’s recent video ‘10 best chess moves ever played’ at 17:40 . Keep up the good work man :)
why nihal has different flag in video
He's in Spain at the moment
Hikaru says nihal like ni hao
He is really thinking out 🔊😅
Chuck Norris defeating Nihal... not Vin Diesel

When is match?
Nihal preparing for SCC
Why does Nihal have the flag of Spain?
Your thumbnails are op😂😂
The great hikaru ....speed monster
This is Brazil!
Why is Nihal having a Spanish flag in his profile ? ( I hope its Spanish , If it is not , i apologise )
Why does hikaru look like some south indian villan in the thumbnail?
Have you watched fast and furious 5?
Hikaru: I'm only at 3400 right now
Me as a 2000 thinking I'm somewhat decent lol
not too bad if you're just starting out
Want to see Alireza vs Hikaru
Hikaru looks like Elon Musk
What am I doing🤣
okay. why is @Nihal Sarin from Spain? 🙆🏻♂️

And the knight on e8 also stops Rd6. Nice spot!
Is it me or does Hikaru look exceptionally cute in this video...?
Nihal needs to eat more indian food before reaching to Hikarus level.
Ahahahaha
Nice practice game for nihal well played by hikaru ❤️
The difference between a GM and an SGM
Very Impressive.
3 mins into it: "2 will not turn into 20"
