Opponent: plays 3rd move

Hikaru: “and now they’ve lost the game”

@miketorok4536 2 years ago

Imagine thinking your opponent is taking time trying figure out your latest clever move when in reality he’s explaining to thousands of people how you’re f**king up.

-Hikaru explaining every step
-Hikaru proceeds to premove mate in 3

Imagine you are 1700+. You see 500 elo and think you got a easy win. Then getting absolutely destroyed by the 500😂

Imagine thinking you played a move that made Hikaru really think for a minute but then you watch it later and realize he was just talking about ancient history and barely noticing the game.

@Fai9alsq 1 year ago

Hikaru, you forgot you are talking to people under 500. We cant understand the fast tactic you are talking

@typicalwalrusk8424 3 years ago

I was doubtful if Hikaru could beat a 500, but apparently he has the capabality.

@artemkatelnytskyi 3 years ago

When I listen to Hikaru everything makes so much sense and I see more moves, but when I play it's as if I look at the chessboard under water. 😅😂

"WAIT HE PLAYS AT 6AM?!?!?! >:c"
"Just do it?"
visibly disgusted at the thought of getting up at 5am to cover chess at 6am

so glad to see this nakamura fellow progress past the 500 elo mark, its been so amazing to see him grow across the years, maybe one day he will be the next hikaru

Instructions unclear got scholars mated by a 500.

@user-td4do3op2d 2 years ago

I like how Hikaru is surprised the 1700 is playing much better than the 700.

@bigsaw567 3 years ago

Finally! I’ve been playing chess for years and the 500s always get me

@theopippig9740 2 years ago

39:50 hikaru missed a checkmate in one

@Phoenix3568 3 years ago

this is actually a really good review about how to punish bad openings. This is definitely something I need a lot of work on

@kaister901 1 year ago

0:06 "Since it's 5.0, I have plenty of time to think."

God damn, what a flex. I am sweating even with regular 10 minute games.

@ryanchappell3240 1 year ago

I have no idea how to play chess at all. But watching chess streamers has become my new pastime

@jplayah5264 2 years ago

I like how Hikaru has these games so comfortably under control that he can stop in the middle of the game for 30 seconds to look something up on the internet.

@isazisempi3896 8 months ago

Imagine your ten points away from 600 and this happens.

@majinjupes 3 years ago (edited)

It's insane how Hikaru is single-handedly changing the way the average chess player plays chess, given modern times and the access we have to all of his content and teachings. It's amazing.
