as a TH-camr myself I just cannot FATHOM the stamina this man has - it is unreal. He played a super grueling tournament, got within an inch of winning and getting a very real shot a becoming the WORLD CHESS CHAMPION, "only" gets a draw in the last game and then - somehow - superhumanly - goes to make a video with in-depth analysis of the game RIGHT AWAY. Like right after that game. Just... HOW DOES HE HAVE THAT KIND OF STAMINA?!?! Congratulations to Hikaru for an impressive tournament, although I'm sure he mostly thinks he lost 1st place and not won 2nd place - still it is of course a very impressive performance.
it's impressive for sure, but of course he's just spent the whole day thinking about the game, so you'd have to think that in some ways the EASIEST time to record the recap is immediately after the game, while it's all fresh in his mind...
It is really fascinating that even after you lost a huge opportunity at the world title, you showed us that its okay to lose and really important to learn from it in life by making these reaction videos just after the game!.. Really inspiring. Thanks Nakamura!
Let's be honest. They all care about the games. Gukesh, Fabi, Nepo and Hikaru. Hikaru has the decency to enjoy the ride. It is heart broken to be in that position Just man, it hurts.
Thanks for everything! Honestly, it affected me more than I expected, as I've never been the type to really get carried away in sports when it comes to rooting for someone, especially for someone I never even met (although I guess seeing someone for hundreds of hours on stream might bring that person a lot closer). Ultimately, I think that matters more in life, what you have meant to both the people around you and those you've never even met. So for me at least you are the true winner, maybe not of this Candidates cycle, but at least in life.
"praises his opponent despite being in competition with him", tell me you never practiced any competitive sports without telling me. It's considered normal to respect your opponent in sports, that's the first thing they teach you no matter what sport one practices. Hikaru is everyone's champ because he is a goat at chess and not because he solely respects his opponent (which is considered normal). I'm reacting to you like this because I tend to believe I have seen in increasing amount of comments of anti-social people praising normal social behavior. People really do set the bar very low regarding social interaction nowadays.

@@Nightshadeniggadeadbut he also said that he had already planned to leave chess if he lost but he won so he has to continue that means he intended on defending
Hikaru we all love you from India. After Gukesh, I was really rooting for you to win the event. But I hope you will keep shining and smiling and winning hearts of your fans❤️
Ding doesn't want to play, Gukesh has an important wedding to attend, Magnus says ok I come back and we have MAGNUS VS HIKARU FOR THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! Kramnik is voted as official for the event to make sure no cheating and Hans becomes advisor to Kramnik. Dream scenario!
As usual, Hikaru played incredibly well, being precise and sharp. Naka, you gave a great performance, and congratulations to Gukesh on winning the candidates!
You played a great tournament and gave us, your fans, recaps of all your games. THANK YOU! It's really amazing! Also, congratulations to Gukesh for winning the candidates, an incredible feat and I'm stoked for the WCC match between him and Ding!
You may have seen this a million times already, but thank you Hikaru for your amazing journey through the tournament!! We are very lucky to have such a high level player as our favourite content creator. Your dedication to these recaps and entertaining play are super appreciated by your fans 😃
Don't be disappointed I think gukesh winning is actually a great. Only 17 years old and already crushing the candidates. Can't imagine what this means to him. You played well and showed that you're at least one of the top 5 players in the world.
Crushing is a massive overstatement. He has won no game against all the other 3 top contenders. Yes, he was able to get draws against them but crushing?
You are a class-act, Mr Nakamura. Well done providing such good commentary/insights one both the good days and the more difficult days! Really appreciated.
Congrats on a great tournament and many thanks for taking the time to analyse the games for us. I can't speak for everyone, but for myself, this has made it much more interesting to follow the tournament. Hearing the thought processes gives so much more depth to everything.
Seeing all the supportive comments and Hikaru liking them all is so heartwarming. You did amazing Hikaru, I'll be watching again in 2 years and rooting for you all the same!
I love that he immediately posted a video right after. Both players put up such an impressive fight on the board, that had to be one of the most gripping tournaments I've ever watched.
@@shazam1334 please don't think about things that way, i advise against comparing yourself to literally anyone. I am sure you will find purpose in your life and achieve great things. Go at your own pace, don't rush things. Whenever you find that purpose, make sure you pour your heart and soul into it and everything will turn out just fine. Keep being a pure hearted person and nothing but good will come your way. I pray for you success.

It's an american thing. they will bow down one day.
I've lost tournament games that affected me so much it was hard to talk about them with anyone for at least a few days. So I'm just imagining Hikaru coming to break down this analysis for the ENTIRE WORLD immediately after the game, and it's just an astonishing to see this level of poise, fortitude, and professionalism. Besides that, he must have been mentally and physically drained at the time he recorded this. Huge respect for you Hikaru! Looking forward to seeing more of your content and competitions!

It's soo hilarious how he plays his game, goes to his studio and dismantles it for the World. Hikaru is setting up new benchmarks and an examplary example of dedication for generations, even though he's already one of the best in the World.
Most exciting Candidates that I can remember - in the final round I was rooting for everyone simultaneously watching all of my favorites. I was glued to the video stream the last few days for the games. Thanks for all the immediate recaps, day after exhausting.
when you started talking about how far you've come on your stream after this game you made me cry as you choked. Even with this result, you are still a winner Hikaru, have a good long look at the mirror and smile, for you, your loved ones, the things you've accomplished and the memories !
If I lose the candidate tournament by the thread like Hikaru did, it will take me weeks to recover. My man still completed recaps series. Much love Hikaru
Hikaru, you had an amazing comeback this tournament, I don't see why you can't play the Candidates twice more given you stay in good shape. We need you to win it all. Much love for everything that you do.
You've already gotten a Great Job in this tournament, that's okay if you didn't win, just as the saying goes "You already won the lottery, so you don't have to try to win again" Congrats on your achievements, HIKARU!!!
Bro, I literally just watched the match. When he ends the match does he say, "Sorry no interviews, I need to stream as I'm a streamer first and a chess GM second."
Your content was second to none these weeks. Thanks for making classical enjoyable. Your analysis really made the difference. Also GGs, it was astonishingly close.
Your awesome Hikaru, I truly hope you decide to play the candidates next time because your still at the top of your game. I was rooting for both you and Fabiano but was heartbroken when you had to draw. Keep it going dude, you give hope to us regular people. I wanna see you have that world title at least once because you do deserve it

Thank you (and the other players aswell) for an insane tournament. ´Tension from day one until the last second, incredible opening variety, everyone gave what they had. Chess spoke for itself and i had a blast! All the best, Martin
I have a lot of respect for you Hikaru. The way you have handled the Kramnik accusations, and now the up and downs of this tournament is just incredibly professional and mature. All the best!
Awesome performance!!! Really wish you could have gone all the way, but after a rough start, you had a SOLID finish! Thank you for letting us into all of the behind the scenes gamesmanship and analysis! GOAT chess creator!

Believe me when i say this - Almost Every Indian was rooting for Hikaru..after Gukesh for obvious reasons.. ❤ from India Hikaru... You r a LEGEND..no matter what..✅
always liked seeing your recap as a GM you talk about everything from a human's perspective. Seeing what the computer says is drama and definitely a good time still. But understanding what is a realistic move for a person to spot is great.
Damn man, I don't know how you've maintained this Zen attitude through all this chaos, it's seriously impressive. Thanks for all the recaps, it's fascinating to get this kind of insight.
Was rooting was guki from the bottom of my heart, but won't forget the fight you fought. My heartly congratulations to gukesh and also to you, keep it up champ and don't let this lose get over you❤
Absolutely loved the recaps! You did fantastic, this was a fantastic tournament, couldn't have written a cooler turn of events. It's amazing you kept in the running! Fantastic chess!

Amazing tournament and thank you for all your work with the recaps. You scoring those three wins in a row was absolutely thrilling!
Congratulations on an amazing tournament!! ❤
Believe me when i say this - Almost Every Indian was rooting for Hikaru..after Gukesh for obvious reasons..
❤ from India Hikaru...
You r a LEGEND..no matter what..✅
Bro faster than my internet. I think he already recorded this video even before match started
Win or lose, Hikaru is one of the biggest ambassadors to the resurgence of chess across the world.
always liked seeing your recap as a GM you talk about everything from a human's perspective. Seeing what the computer says is drama and definitely a good time still. But understanding what is a realistic move for a person to spot is great.
Damn man, I don't know how you've maintained this Zen attitude through all this chaos, it's seriously impressive. Thanks for all the recaps, it's fascinating to get this kind of insight.
What a treat that everyone played so hard and that hikaru was willing to recap everything he did. Thank you!!!
Playing catch up over here... Just watched all your recaps. Amazing tournament Hikaru, thank you for all you do for the fans and the game!
I can't imagine how you could start with that smile 😢.. go hikaru
Hikaru is just amazing.... Chess needs Hikaru, man!!!
Whereas others need chess...
Was rooting was guki from the bottom of my heart, but won't forget the fight you fought. My heartly congratulations to gukesh and also to you, keep it up champ and don't let this lose get over you❤
Gukesh has done it. So proud of him.

@@ahrrydepp493if you can't digest a young talented players victory then just shut up
Absolutely loved the recaps! You did fantastic, this was a fantastic tournament, couldn't have written a cooler turn of events. It's amazing you kept in the running! Fantastic chess!
You came in 2nd place via tiebreaks. If Ding decides not to defend his title you take his place
Ding has just become world champion. He is not Magnus
