In a previous video, Naka told an opponent that one of the worst things you can do against a Super GM is get into an end game, where you'll always get outplayed. This was a pretty good illustration of that as Ari looked to have an advantage for much of the game and he was done in the end game.
@@lancewildwood2277 They don’t have every single endgame memorized. Most of these endgames they’ve never even been in the position before. They just memorize general tactics. And the issue is the clock and playing quickly, not the endgame. Only Magnus really thinks as quickly and precisely as Hikaru in Blitz chess. So when time starts getting low, opponents are going to make more blunders than Hikaru. They just aren’t as good, and there’s not much you can do about that.
The end game isn’t the problem. The low time constraint is the problem. He starting making more and more blunders the lower his time got, because he couldn’t think his moves through.

When I'm watching these games I can see many of the moves and the traps being set, but when I'm playing a 5 minute game I can hang a rook or a queen faster than light speed.

You may be on to something there. Here, Hikaru quips back at the audience trask-talkers but his opponent is caught in the crossfire. Hikaru has quips for the opponent if the opponent is the trash-talker. Either way, the Coffe Chess opponent is dominated by Hikaru 's calculated play.
Let’s not forget the time odds here. If times were even, then Hikaru could evaluate more and find better engine like moves. It’s good play from others, but these games would not be close if no time odds
@@kyokitagawa7977 but hikaru will always be able to think up better moves with more time. hence the term, "TIME ODDS" So again, good job at stating the obvious. very good job.
@@Hester_prynne Which means you are not getting his best gameplay. You force him into an unfavorable situation making it harder for him. It wouldn’t matter if Magnus or anyone else, because they all feel the pressure and make blunders when low on time. Would I get excited about having to handicap a GM to win? For me, it would be like taking a exam with the answers to the first 30 questions. I state the obvious, because people saying “you nearly beat him or beating him” doesn’t hold as much relevance, because there are time odds. He blundered badly against that Russian player because of the time odds.
At the time of this video 13:07 What if the white Queen move to D7 and start taking out the black Pawn at C6 and Black Bishop at A6. The White Queen moves would be one step ahead of The Black Rook or Black Queen can protect
at 10:34 when choosing different pahts after the pin/queen trade attack, we can also choose to defend our queen with the rook, using Rook b3 that also atacks enemy queen while protecting our own if a trade occurs. also, if that happens, the towers get aligned on the same path so knight cant take pawn easily without punishment. Htere is also a chance to go for a rook trade taking that knight and the pawn if needed, to convert the 2 middle pawns into endgame with bishop supporting them.
Lol okay the winning line at 3:36 was actually 1) f4 Nf3 2) Qg3 exf4 3) Rg8 Ng5 and you can see why this is pretty horrific for black. Instead Archer played Qf5 (which I would have played something like this) because it looks productive
i think in 5:31 ari should have play his king to c7 or d7 if he plays c7 hikamaru probably will play his bishop to e5 and low possibility trade his bishop for knight and pawn also hikamaru will take his pawns after that ari probably lose the game ... idk
When Hikaru tells you don't trade queens, you would have won otherwise, and you respond with "Oh really?" Then chances are you were not going to win anyway. Because Hikaru is seeing the board at a completely different level. And chances are that whatever he's seeing if over everybody's head.
I wish that guy could keep quiet during Ari's play and let him concentrate on his game. After all, Ari was playing against a GM, not the peanut gallery.
Ari did not "snipe off" that battery H pawn. You think Hikaru missed that? You could see him pause for a WHOLE second looking at it, and decided to let him have it. He wanted an interesting game.
I'm not really a huge chess but do you mean white's knight taking the pawn at e6 when he asks for the continuation? After that wouldn't black just take the pawn with his rook and put white in check? Then white has to move to the bottom right corner, black moves his queen diagonally down in front and it's checkmate? Idk I might be wrong though I have no idea lol.
What about Ne4 instead of e6? There’s almost certainly a solid response for black there but I can’t see it because you just take back with the rook if pawn takes and it seems like there’s a good attack there
Man I wish Carlini would let other people just play rather than constantly throwing out backseat advice. He’s had a couple games with GM Hikaru, let other people have theirs.
Great work Ari. Carlini needs to zip it during other peoples games against Hikaru. Let the player play without his constant distration, Hikaru is intimidating enough.
Yeah, when he traded queens I was like wtf?! But I was even more wtf when Hikaru unguarded his King defense and when he ignored the bishop that took the pawn.
One thing i’ve learned from watching these videos is theres always the dude in the background who can’t choose what side of the fence he’s on 😂 “that’s exactly what i would have though about doing maybe!” what kind of sentence is that😭😭😭
Hey, whatever happened to 'Anaconda Al'? Haven't seen his games in a year or two and he didn't show up to play Nakamura. Did he move away or something?
8:33 I feel like white should go for, after dxe4 Qxe4 because now blacks knight is pinned so white is likely gonna win it + white just won 2 pawns for the bishop, looks good for white there to me.
How many pieces different are there between Hikaru and the folks? In other words, if Hikaru started out with two fewer pawns, would they be able to beat him?
