hikaru: plays tricks only

also Hikaru: this is a bit tricky

I have never felt so gaslighted in my life more than Hikaru saying the pawns are the same size

@ollivier75 5 years ago

Hikaru, i made a screenshot and checked the size of the pawns and bishops with photoshop, there are some smaller ones, it's not just an impression or the effect of drugs.

@jopan1026 5 years ago

The pieces are different sizes because the devs don't reset the piece sizes when you unhover a piece. While hovered, the pieces pulsate (change sizes) and when unhovered it simply leaves the size where it left off rather than resetting.

I kicked how hik answered the question "do u eat salads everyday?" With the answer "sometimes" lol 😆

the greatest era known to humanity:
super GMs saying "you know what I eat everyday? how about Deez Nuts" while streaming to pepegas

@Austin-hm6qq 5 years ago

You can just take a screenshot and draw lines across the pieces. It's not an illusion, they're actually different sizes lol

@deathpacito290 5 years ago

The one time I would like to see an evans gambit.

@joethrowdiscs 5 years ago (edited)

some pawns appear bigger because of the piece animation Hikaru is using. When you select a piece that piece has a pulse animation cycling from slightly larger to smaller to give a pulsing illusion. When you drop a piece the animation freezes. So if the piece is placed while it's on the larger part of the pulse animation it becomes frozen as "large". That's why it some pawns look larger at times.

I’m still recovering from the Bongcloud speedrun and here Hikaru is in the 2700s

@YummyCore 5 years ago

no way that g pawn is the same size

@khangdaniellam3511 5 years ago

I swear some of the pawns were GIANT

@DhruvaSagar 5 years ago

If you look at the base of the g pawn, you notice it is slightly lower than the f pawn, it does appear to be slightly bigger, I think it's something to do with the animations

@Zomiecrafter 5 years ago

Imagine if other board games had dedicated players like chess. Getting on twitch to watch someone play risk or monopoly for 10 hours a day lmao

@Luminous13 5 years ago

Imagine being a Grandmaster, having dedicate tons of your time in studying chess since you were a child, only to get tilted you lost a random blitz game and time stall the whole clock LOL.
