Hikaru is world class. He is giving us tips that only elite players can conceive of in OTB games. This window he is opening for us will be of great use to developing players who may reach the GM level later. It's about intuition, or a sixth sense, we should all be using in our own games (even as club players).
The fact you still commentate on the tournament you got eliminated speaks volumes of your character and passion for the game. What a amazing dude you are!! Big fan of your attitude and approach. Keep it going.
Not just showing sportsmanship and wonder for Magnus' ability but by far the best autopsy analysis of that match so far because even the commentators and other chess TH-camrs cant show this level of savant chess interpretations. Many thanks Hikaru❤
Ivanchuk actually offered Magnus a draw around move 30 (bishop c1 move) but Magnus said in the post game interview that he is not known to be merciful 😅
With a day off locked up, I suspect Magnus thought the challenge of pushing through a potentially winning but (maybe) technically drawn end-game would be useful for his fitness in this event. Hard to say. He's taken draws in winning positions before when it guaranteed him overall victory..
One thing I want to mention, in case you didn't watch the Magnus interview. He said that Invachuk offered him a draw at around move 30 or something but he felt that the position was interesting and wanted to continue. That is why probably Invanchuk started moving fast, he just wanted to be done with the game.
Man I didn't even realise all of the moves played in the first game by Magnus were so so so amazing until Hikaru explained them and showed how awesome and deep those moves were. Thanks Hikaru!
@Hikaru: After move 30 Chucky offered a draw, but Magnus said no! That probably made Chucky later resign instead of defending to a draw that loses the match.
25:41 On Bc1, 3 or 4 moves before this position, Ivanchuk actually offered Magnus a draw. In the post-game interview, Magnus said he kept playing for 2 reasons, the ranking on the one hand, and he felt good about playing the position on the other, no risk, good winning chances… He made the right choice… at the expense of Ivanchuk for whom it's cruel…
You have to love the respect that Hikaru has for Magnus….it’s not even out of friendship, but for the love of the game and the acknowledgment of genius when it’s deserved. This is why Hikaru is a top tier gentlemen on top of being a genius himself.
Listening to guys like Hikaru, Naroditzky and Fabi analyse their games and just getting an insight into how their minds work is super fascinating to me. and how theyre able to find weaknesses in their own position and see their opponents best moves is wild to me
I have seen your games many times, and have been following you for quite some time but I am watching your video for the first time and I absolutely love your analysis. Love you Hikaru. ❤
One of the things I love about this channel is that Hikaru never dumbs things down. These are his genuine considerations when playing chess. And therefore, he’s not only a chess celebrity and one of the world’s best players, but a great teacher.
Only started playing and following chess 2 weeks ago. Absolutely love your passion for the game, in addition to your savant-like understanding of the game. Let me know if you ever need some tasty bags of coffee. Ill happily shoot you some from my roastery- Onyx Coffee Lab. Cheers!
It's hard to fault hikaru for losing tbh...he still plays these classical tournys but he's not super into it. That being said, he's number 3 in the world atm, not so shabby for not taking it as serious as he could. Even Magnus said he has no idea why he's playing this tourny as he hates classical chess cause it's so boring.
Hikaru with a very practical analysis of ideas in the game, and the psychology of the players. We are privileged to have 1 of the world's best players in history churning out out entertaining and informative content so prolifically.
I have been playing chess only less than three months, and learned a lot from you, Hikaru, thank you for the time you put to create and deliver these analysis videos!
Amazing game by Magnus and Ivanchuk fought hard as well. I was wondering at 13:15 when Magnus plays e6 the computer doesn't seem to like it that much, why is that? It seems like a natural move, what is the computer seeing here?
I like the idea that there existed some Victorian child that would have been able to beat stockfish but never got the chance because he lived 150 years too early
Watched the game live, then watched Agad, and then Gotham and finally Hikaru for these 2 matches! Hikaru still managed to not only peek my interest but gave an entire new perspective to the game - arguably most realistic, and principled with sound reasoning! Nothing against others but most recaps glorify great moves to be God like, while Hikaru being the top player himself explains the psychology behind the moves that no other streamer really can! It feels more human and connected to watch Hikaru! No exaggeration, just plain good ol’ chess! Great job man!
Don’t usually watch Levi but I watched his video on game 1 and I have to say that Hikaru really goes much more in depth when I watched Levi’s vid I just keep thinking isn’t he going thru this way too fast, he doesn’t show any variations and possible lines
Levy is a story teller, he made a match really interesting. If you want analysis watch Agadmator or Hikaru. And I actually really like Levy storytelling , so i watch Levy and Agadmator regularly.
yo that famous streamer Hikaru Nakamora sound like a cool guy anyone know where i watch him 3:49 for those who are confused (mainly for myself to remember where it is)
i dont understand the levels of chess stockfish, but levi yesterday was sayin the higher level stockfish graded magnus' chess game even better than the lower one. now idk if levi was just gaslighting the game, but that was insane regardless, to me
Hey hikaru huge fan from india... Got very disappointed seeing u loosing with pragg but anyways will always support you tho and all the best for fide grand swiss tourney.....praying to god that you qualify for the candidates.....and im sure that u will
Seeing Hikaru recognizing the brilliance of Magnus means that MAGNUS was the GOAT!! Imagine, Hikaru gave Magnus a headache way back on the Magnus Carlsen Invitational.. However, Hikaru is still my favorite blitz player of all time.... I hope you kick Magnus' ass on a pre moved game again 😂😂😂
I realized one more time that Hikaru's purpose is here not only being champ or something,but his duty is to develop chess world
His job is a content creator. He’s creating content.
Or to create content that's popular
@@jjppee You and the op can both be right

Nah all of our purposes are to spread gods word. Chess is secondary even to hikaru, with that being said he does an amazing job doing what he does
So grateful for Hikaru's GM level brain that can interpret things that are happening here at a level that most commentators can't.
The fact you still commentate on the tournament you got eliminated speaks volumes of your character and passion for the game. What a amazing dude you are!! Big fan of your attitude and approach. Keep it going.
This is Sportmanship! Hikaru aknowledging his rival. This is a behavior to learn!. much much respect!
Magnus is hikaru's rival but Hikaru is not magnus' rival

"He actually said, 'Magnus played the famous streamer Hikaru Nakamura' at 3:48."
He is self aware 😅
I had to laugh not because it’s funny but how self confidence he sad it but it’s soooo true !! Hilary the best 🙏
I LOLd when i heard that too
Sir your contributions in chess community is priceless.
Ivanchuk actually offered Magnus a draw around move 30 (bishop c1 move) but Magnus said in the post game interview that he is not known to be merciful 😅
😂yeah I watched that too
Not so far ago he took a draw against Fabiano in a winning position, the draw won him the match but still.
Wouldn't he had lost rating points if he did though? Or are they dependent on the match result?
@@Tehkenny1yes he lost rating, a lot if draw, becase chucky rating is 2665 or around that
With a day off locked up, I suspect Magnus thought the challenge of pushing through a potentially winning but (maybe) technically drawn end-game would be useful for his fitness in this event. Hard to say. He's taken draws in winning positions before when it guaranteed him overall victory..
Never stop hikaru you really inspire us with all those videos and when you play on the board its just astonishing.
3:48 Magnus played against the famous streamer Hikaru Nakamura! 😮

nice for famous streamers like Hikaru to bring attention to less known players like this Magnus guy!
@Hikaru: After move 30 Chucky offered a draw, but Magnus said no! That probably made Chucky later resign instead of defending to a draw that loses the match.
Hikaru like a boss....he is humble person and show amazing variation 😊😊😊😊🤗
Ikr compared to magnus he deserves to be the 🐐

hard to see Ivanchuck fold so abruptly in the 2nd game, smh..............
That second game resignation was a Danny Glover type "Im getting too old for this ___"
Listening to guys like Hikaru, Naroditzky and Fabi analyse their games and just getting an insight into how their minds work is super fascinating to me. and how theyre able to find weaknesses in their own position and see their opponents best moves is wild to me

I never knew this famous streamer had a side-gig as a chess grandmaster.
3:45 i was surprised hikaru casually referring to himself just as a streamer
Nice work Hikaru, great content, I laughed at the subtle comedy when you referred to yourself in the 3rd person
One of the things I love about this channel is that Hikaru never dumbs things down. These are his genuine considerations when playing chess. And therefore, he’s not only a chess celebrity and one of the world’s best players, but a great teacher.
23:00 "but uh oh, spaghetti-o" LOL
Hikaru’s over the top enthusiasm at the start is starting to grow on me 😅

I kinda like hearing you talk in 3rd person it sounds so sick 😂🔥
Magnus is a boss monster. Let's team up and get some more XP so that we can defeat him!
Much appreciated from Tanzania

Hikaru u are the goat. I absolutely lost it at 10:38😂
I have been playing chess only less than three months, and learned a lot from you, Hikaru, thank you for the time you put to create and deliver these analysis videos!
Found it a bit funny how to tried to show the draw line but it got more and more winning for each move.
Amazing game by Magnus and Ivanchuk fought hard as well. I was wondering at 13:15 when Magnus plays e6 the computer doesn't seem to like it that much, why is that? It seems like a natural move, what is the computer seeing here?
17:03 truth me told
magnus seems to be the only guy that can squeeze water out of stone
A Real sportsmanship and one of the greatest of All Times. Thx
I like the idea that there existed some Victorian child that would have been able to beat stockfish but never got the chance because he lived 150 years too early
Thanks for the high-quality analysis, Hikaru! I love it when you analyze other players' games.
3:48 famous streamer :D
You are the best for us, keep doing your great content and history in chess saga
Stockfish Carlsen 🤣
always funny to hear hikaru talk about himself in third person
"...but to a mere human like myself - and PROBABLY Magnus" XD indeed!
Hope you're having a good day Hikaru!
Respect two best chess players
your explanations are showing your dedication for chess..definitely you touched many of us.
i love his love for other players, not being jealous of one of them, and his self-confidence. i love you, hikaru ❤❤❤
I like how Hikaru talks about stockfish like he is a real person lol

Ivanchuk is a legend of another generation, please appreciate that he is still playing at this high level
always love hikaru analysis. He makes everything easy to understand
You are great hikaru. Im sure you'll do great in the next event.
Seems disrespectful calling him by nickname-dudes half a legend.
Great Video. Thanx a lot for the professional explanations
Glad to see people admit that there is a level of chess recap that a SuperGM (and even just a GM) brings to the table.
Amazing recap with all the insights we needed ! Would appreciate if you could please cover the game of Fabi too.
am I the only one thinkining Hikaru introduction is funny?
love the insights and positive attitude! great sportsmanship
Don’t usually watch Levi but I watched his video on game 1 and I have to say that Hikaru really goes much more in depth when I watched Levi’s vid I just keep thinking isn’t he going thru this way too fast, he doesn’t show any variations and possible lines
Levy is a story teller, he made a match really interesting.
If you want analysis watch Agadmator or Hikaru.
And I actually really like Levy storytelling , so i watch Levy and Agadmator regularly.
And Levy recap a lot of matches in one video, it’s just like a summary of the tournament, while Agadmator and Hikaru usually just recap 1 match
Thanks Hikaru for articulating the super gm level theory which normal players like myself would easily miss.
I've become one of Nakamura's fans. He's very humble, even though he's one of the legends of the game.
Tantalizing, inspiring and educational. How this isn't behind a paywall is nothing short of amazing. Thanks!❤
this game reminded me of his prime games, absolutely ridiculous unterstanding
I noted Hikaru's big smile to reveal how h4 was such a great move when the knight had it's support!
yo that famous streamer Hikaru Nakamora sound like a cool guy anyone know where i watch him
