15:29 glad hikaru caught that. as a 500 rated played i was about to shout at my screen, "hold on, castling there blunders a pawn 20 moves later!" but luckily he noticed that before disaster occurred
I shall never forget the tension I felt as my eyes fell upon that pawn, and I knew deep in my 600 rated player mind that castling would unenviably cast away any chance of keeping him alive. Even with the utmost precaution, move 128 would be fatal.
its because gm's see more into the future to see if its gonna work against him so when he thinks its bad he thinks if its actually bad and sees truly and sees it great so now he plays it cause it has more ups than the other moves
Thank you so much for saying what you are thinking on any given position. This helps us learn from you the best we possibly can. Thank you for all you give back to the world. You are a true legend. You give back to the chess community way more than any other top player.
I find Hikaru’s bot challenges super instructive. We get to hear his entire thought process playing slow chess against formidable opponents. Fantastic!
Great seeing Hikaru talking his thought process out loud. At some point he was calculating faster than he was right-clicking the board so the moves seemed to be done in slow motion .
absolutely love this UA-cam only content.... absolutely a pleasure to see hikaru speaking his mind in every single move....would love to see more such stuff
15:26 Ah finally Hikaru's gonna play a normal move like castling. Even I can do that. Hikaru: Oh wait there's this this take take queen bishop take and I'm down a pawn... Me: Yep, yep, I saw that too
Always amazing to hear your thought process, and so very instructive. I'm by no means able to beat this bot yet but you made it look so easy! On another note, the hair slicked back is a good look. ☺️
Welp.. I love chess and not knowing it that well, you just messed my brain up. Obviously I know chess but buddy just started talking like some arithmetic unholy beach talk magic. 1:58
They also added coaches who just won't shut up. I loved when Danny talked something about capturing my queen, moved bishop to attack random pawn and got checkmated on next move.
I can't believe mittens was removed, even these new bots combined are nowhere near mittens level of thinking. Even if mittens was considered a demon or just an absolute psychopathic cat, she doesn't deserve to get removed.
I like how I am able to keep up with Hikaru's thought process in terms of development. But then Hikaru veers off into a new variation...and then well, there's the pause button. Hah. Gotta get back to studying chess properly I guess. Fantastic video though, you could clearly see how much stronger and nerfed Mittens is. Goodness that one was one absolute monster.
The thought process is amazing. Very logical and yet seeing at such depth. Although he might have secrets, his mind has learned so deeply so many ideas, that even opponents can't replicate it by observing. Years of hard work are required to have this ability. Respect
I thought this was helpful at first, then realized I still can’t execute this kind of thought process! I still enjoyed this so much! Thank you Hikaru for showing us your thought process. Unreal!
As a 1900, I clapped all the cat bots, except for Mittens, and had some interesting games against it. I also destroyed the first 3 AI bots, and beat Skyweb on the second try. That last one was especially funny. I had a Knight for a Pawn, and there was no way to prevent the promotion. However, I found the classic idea of forking the King and Queen with the Knight when the bot promoted. The scary thing is, if the King moved out of the way, I would have lost. Surprisingly, I also had some very interesting games against Agent Chess, and I had winning chances in almost every game.
Hikaru, in school I have to write a fictional narrative. In that narrative I have chose to write a realistic science fiction narrative. It is about you and Magnus teaming up in an alien competition to save the earth.

The level of thought and planning that goes into each of his decisions is truly inspiring. This video is not only entertaining, but also educational for anyone looking to improve their chess skills.
So this shows the difference in a gm and normal players. I maybe think 2 3 moves at most ahead. You are seeing the endgame alot earlier. Thats where i need to improve and this video helped a ton.
I just won a game against Agent Chess and I'm still in disbelief. I've been playing chess for only a year and a half now and I can't believe I managed to win a game like this.
I had a really weird experience the morning after watching this video. I woke up and my first thought was should I get dressed or put on a pot of coffee. Suddenly there were yellow arrows going from me to my closet, then to a couple of different shirts and pants but at the same time arrows showing the way to the kitchen, the cabinet where the coffee is kept, the coffee maker and then some branching off from the carafe to the faucet and the water filter. I hesitated for a moment. Finally I grabbed a bathrobe, picked up my phone and dialed my therapist and made an appointment. Fortunately he could see me right away. Arrows showed me the way to my car, where to put the key and how to back out of the drive way without hitting my g/f's car. At every intersection arrows showed me the best route to avoid the heaviest traffic and finally I arrived at Dr. Feelgood's office. He took one look at me and said "you've been watching a lot of instructional chess videos haven't you?"
Me watching Hikaru explain how he has successfully outmaneuvered the concept of chess and will inevitably win in 40 moves: oh yes of course how could I have missed that
Wait that outro. Don't tell me. Mittens will be ripping the bots to shreds.
🤔
or they are going to make a bot inspired by that image in hikaru's outro i saw a glowing red light
bingchilling

@@GMHikaru What is your outro song? It's rad!
hikaru explaining his thought process in detail is actually very helpful
E
Right?!? Legit felt like I had my chess 3rd eye opened after first 5 moves in first game
Yes very satisfying. Hikaru was dropping chess jewels with ease.
Exactly! I learned more about opening in the first few minutes than anywhere else.
Yes, very interesting.
15:29 glad hikaru caught that. as a 500 rated played i was about to shout at my screen, "hold on, castling there blunders a pawn 20 moves later!" but luckily he noticed that before disaster occurred
That's why he's a GM. I am 200 rated elo and I spot that immediately too! "tHaTs A fReE pAwN" was my cry
I’m rated 6 elo and I was staring at that pawn so hard just WILLING him to notice that it was a free pawn
I shall never forget the tension I felt as my eyes fell upon that pawn, and I knew deep in my 600 rated player mind that castling would unenviably cast away any chance of keeping him alive. Even with the utmost precaution, move 128 would be fatal.
I think it is just banter. As he said, when playing a computer there is no free pawn.
🤣🤣
is it just me, or does agent chess look familiar?
🤔
hi chess
real
@@LOP1111 …
No. He’s a really bad player. It’s arguable whether or not he’s even intermediate from the games I’ve seen him play
@@Zero11174 i think the main reason would be his controversial opinions
Hikaru: explains 1000 reasons why a move is not the best
also Hikaru: plays the move
its because gm's see more into the future to see if its gonna work against him so when he thinks its bad he thinks if its actually bad and sees truly and sees it great so now he plays it cause it has more ups than the other moves
@@Knowth1ng riding without a license
he tries to lower at our level as if we were playing
Absolutely insane that Hikaru was able to spot the castling blunder at 15:29 so quickly. Super GM’s are different fr
Yeah I was like wtf hahahahaha
It's like a one move blunder for him 😅Actually insane.
as soon as I heard him do that I came right to the comments lol
Made me realize that we all get caught in a London idea every now and then
He saw 5 moves ahead a -1 pawn disadvantage within a few seconds of even thinking about the move
I love how he explains his moves. Ty Hikaru, i learned a lot
despite my initial reservation your ability to predict moves is quite impressive, i have just begun, and my rating is1900
@@kathymadison9049 I'm sorry but that had nothing to do with what he just said and that has the be the nerdiest response possible.
I absolutely love when Hikaru looks at us for these YT only videos.
I will be doing more youtube videos going forward. I hope you enjoy them! -HN
@@GMHikaru what other videos do you do other than yt?
@@uuproverlord8324 usually his videos are just recordings of his livestreams on Twitch

Your pacing on this video was perfect.
We need more videos like this.
Hilaru explaining moves
Not a cut from hikaru’s stream
Keep this up!
I find Hikaru’s bot challenges super instructive. We get to hear his entire thought process playing slow chess against formidable opponents. Fantastic!
It's deeply fascinating to see Hikaru actually explaining the though process behind his moves, makes me feel less stupid when watching.
Great seeing Hikaru talking his thought process out loud. At some point he was calculating faster than he was right-clicking the board so the moves seemed to be done in slow motion .
absolutely love this UA-cam only content.... absolutely a pleasure to see hikaru speaking his mind in every single move....would love to see more such stuff
I love the videos where hikaru explains everything he does, in my opinion and many others probably you should defo do this more! maybe on stream hehe
I will never get tired of watching Hikaru calculate moves
This kind of content that you explain everything to us, lower ratings, is so freaking amazing, keep this, please!
The detailed explanation over your moves and what your thinking and looking at is amazing content.
This is the first Hikaru vid I’ve seen and I’m very impressed with his knowledge and understanding of chess
The way Hikaru explains his moves and the speed of them inspire me but also makes me realize how slow I am lmao
Hikaru the fact that you have the guts to play these crazy bots and explain your every move is just top tier stuff!
15:26 Ah finally Hikaru's gonna play a normal move like castling. Even I can do that.
Hikaru: Oh wait there's this this take take queen bishop take and I'm down a pawn...
Me: Yep, yep, I saw that too
I like the endgame, blacks pawns were on the light squares, whites pawns were on the dark squares
once again.... the way you explain each move just maximizes the fun.....Hikaru is absolutely the best!!
Also thats help me as a beginner for learn each move he made
Hikaru got me into chess, he’ll never know how much i appreciate what he did
Hardest first, Easiest last, that’s the same order I do my homework.
Always amazing to hear your thought process, and so very instructive. I'm by no means able to beat this bot yet but you made it look so easy!
On another note, the hair slicked back is a good look. ☺️
Hi. I beat it !
@@yendisgame5134 woah congrats!!!
@@mushroomgirlie Oh no, unfortunately I was mistaken. I beat ChessGPT not the agent 😩
@@yendisgame5134 bruh 😭
Thank you so much for the detailed explanations of the games! Awesome learning experience.
Welp.. I love chess and not knowing it that well, you just messed my brain up. Obviously I know chess but buddy just started talking like some arithmetic unholy beach talk magic. 1:58
WOW THE EXPLANATIONS ARE SO GOOD. I feel like im actually gettin a lesson from hikaru himself
GM HIKARU explaining his thoughts process is very helpful and thats why i love his videos.. its very helpful for beginners.. thank you 🤗🤗🤗😅
"Never send a human to play a machine's game"
"Who said I was human?"
1:56 Is that a... Reverse Scholar's Mate?!
Hikaru starts the video explaining each move and its thought process in detail and then 7 minutes in he’s just “Rh7 Be5 Rg7 Nc6...” at rapid speed
Hikaru makes beating a 2700 look unbelievably easy
I like these videos, when you are not streaming and you are explaining your ideas well so we understand more.
They also added coaches who just won't shut up. I loved when Danny talked something about capturing my queen, moved bishop to attack random pawn and got checkmated on next move.
Amazing explanation of the moves. I fully understood why you made each move thanks to You! Great content!
When Hikaru started doing his thing at 9:50 I made an audible ‘brain dead’ noise 💀
Big fan sir hope i become a chess master after completing my studies like you :)
Hikaru starts the video explaining each move and its thought process in detail and then 7 minutes in he’s just “Rh7 Be5 Rg7 Nc6...”
I can't believe mittens was removed, even these new bots combined are nowhere near mittens level of thinking. Even if mittens was considered a demon or just an absolute psychopathic cat, she doesn't deserve to get removed.
Yes, she was such a nice sparring partner
Im gonna make my 1800 elo to 1 and put a mittens profile photo to play with you!
15:30 seems like the bot has no advantage but only disadvantages if the bot could hear hikaru he would resign
the agent chess really love using his queen early. My fights always starts with 1 d5 e6 2. c4 qh4 kekw
I like how I am able to keep up with Hikaru's thought process in terms of development. But then Hikaru veers off into a new variation...and then well, there's the pause button. Hah. Gotta get back to studying chess properly I guess. Fantastic video though, you could clearly see how much stronger and nerfed Mittens is. Goodness that one was one absolute monster.
I can’t look at Hikaru’s games without seeing Magnus making fun of his arrows
link to that pls? I must've missed it
hikaru: "Oh no.. oh noo no nooo I blundered."
me: "the game looks exactly the same as it did last move. the rook is just on a different square."
The thought process is amazing. Very logical and yet seeing at such depth. Although he might have secrets, his mind has learned so deeply so many ideas, that even opponents can't replicate it by observing. Years of hard work are required to have this ability. Respect
Kinda interesting when he talks abou the game and reads the things it sounds like hes playing a game its very familliar which is nice
That endgame needs to be placed in dvoretskys endgame manual
me watching hikaru make moves: fascinating
hikaru: oh no i just blundered the game away
I thought this was helpful at first, then realized I still can’t execute this kind of thought process! I still enjoyed this so much! Thank you Hikaru for showing us your thought process. Unreal!
"If I'm wrong, I don't want to be right" Hikaru 2023
Chippy (700) falls for the scholars mate
Watching him inspires me to keep playing chess but also inspires me to study because of how dumb I feel after
i really respect ur chess career bro , keep up the grind ✌🏻
I have to choose, watch hikaru or go to sleep. The decision was fast
it's so satisfying to watch hikaru explaining his thinking process 🥰
12:55 you can make two moves when the bot is still thinking🧐
Hilaru makes an inaccuracy.. Hikaru: oh thats a big Blunder!!
2700 rated bot uses the wayward queen attack. I'm flabbergasted.
Its the busch-gass gambit
You are the best BOT, Hikaru !! :D. 9:01 "If I'm wrong, I don't want to be right"
Pretty sure he missed a fork at 16:07. Knight threatens the bishop and queen and if the bot takes with the rook take w queen
Hikaru really has a hyper x headset to hear the sound of chess pieces taking each other in 7.2 surround sound
Should have tried gothams PP on the PP technique
As a 1900, I clapped all the cat bots, except for Mittens, and had some interesting games against it. I also destroyed the first 3 AI bots, and beat Skyweb on the second try.

insane how he can spot the endgame like the matrix in the last match as black... crazy
Plot twist: this was all premoved and hikaru was just narrating and explaining each move
Hikaru, in school I have to write a fictional narrative. In that narrative I have chose to write a realistic science fiction narrative. It is about you and Magnus teaming up in an alien competition to save the earth.
First video I watch of this man and he’s already predicting faster than me choosing to trade pawns
William Graif was so happy to see the second move from ai! But he cried so much after seeing the third...
1:34 funniest thing i have heard all day
hikaru playing magnus:TIS IS WAYYYY TOO EZ
hikaru playing agent chess:hmmmm
You are really, really good player. I hope that if I study hard I will become a chess master. Really enjoyed this video.
Hikaru just sacrificed his queen...why did he do that? ....Morpheus: he's beginning to believe
He was really 3200 and went below 2800 the day after jesus
13:08 dog is relentless

at 5:12 why black didnt take the pawn at e3?
that would lose a bishop.
It takes skill to get hikaru out of theory by move 3.
This bot seems to like throwing away a pawn on move 2. I'm not Hikaru, so agent beats me despite that.
@@besNait it likes early queen moves. 1800 rapid but got the W because i just stayed solid with my advantage

What If Hikaru's actually the strongest bot at chess and they send him to destroy all of our chess bots?
7:20 kg6 would have been s better move, preventing black rf8

One dope idea would be for the next update, there will be robot cats, which are a combination of the robots and cats, and there will be agent mittens.
1.5 elo
there should be a "winning" counter in every chess game against a bot video. Would love to see that.
If you play Chess GPT the first thing he says is 'There is 3 teams in chess black,white and Hikaru Nikamura'
