For me it would be a draw of insufficient intelligence
@egg juat saying but 2n mate is not borderine impossible but just difficult
@egg borderline and almost are the same thing
Same
@@greenpizza2819the opponent needs a pawn for a move so it doesn't become stalemate
@@vincentL.7so thats why i couln't checkmate stockfish with 2 horses
"That was the hardest win in the book" just does it ever so casually, easier than walking down stairs to him.
he is way beyond bookish theory so book moves are not big deal for him.
Even in Time trouble it should be much harder
wow, leaving the pawn on the board to avoid stalemate is absolutely brilliant.
You cannot checkmate with two knights when opponent's king is alone after stalemate position you can win 😂 that's why bishop is more important than knight in end game
Hardest theoretical win in the book and Hikaru breezes through it in a blitz match
Because he did a ton of drills with it since he was a kid.
@@isaacharton7851 he put in alot of work is what you mean
I don't know, knight and bishop is pretty hard
@@cygnuscraft9544yeah
@@ep-wz8fuI’m currently 1700 and I just learned to checkmate with a knight and bishop. All it takes is practice.
That was insane.
When I went to google it said its impossible to mate with 2 knights
@@UnitedEsports69unless you’re the opponent has a pawn
@@coreynelson8343 thank u for saying
Bro the way he moves the kights around the king make it seem like he's water bending
"That was the hardest win in the book" just does it ever so casually
Deez knights…
even funnier because if you dont know chess the title sounds really weird
Hikaru thinks he is Hikaru
If u take the pawn it will be a draw thats why he didn’t took it
Seriously? That's crazy
@@ruffyistderhammer5860 yes, u need the pawn cause before delivering checkmate u place the king in a position where he cant move, so only legal move for white was moving the pawn, if theres wasnt a pawn it would have been stalemate when u reach that position
Note to self: dont gobble pawns in endgame if you can afford it. Its insurance agaunst stalemates
@@dandanthedandan7558but only for 2 knights mate though. Every other mate doesn’t place the king in a stalemate position
The opponent walking voluntarily to the corner 💀
knight vs rook pawn endings is one of the hardest endings to win. the key is to paralyze the king in the corner, forcing your opponent's pawn in front of the king, allowing you to deliver the KO punch.
Wow hikaru is a nightmare after he won the game he playd two nights attack against caro can
🥶🥶🥶💀💀💀
Amazing check
“Mating with two knights”? That would be too much nakamura, innit?
two knights vs a king and a pawn... mate is possible, but two knights vs a king and no pawns is most likely stalemate.
That was a draw when he rotated the knights, push pawn=draw
Which squares?
amazing didnt believe it was possible 👍
Nobody realized that Nf4 was a blunder in that situaltion...
I did xD
Instructions unclear
But what if instead of Ka1 white plays Kc1
Very nice mate, but it seems sorta like the opponent played into it a little
Simplemente increíble
I would timeout trying to mate
The two knights vs pawn ending isn't necessarily winning with best play. It's either a win or a draw depending on how far advanced the pawn is. In fact, the b-pawn in the video is sufficiently advanced (three squares from promoting) for the position to be a theoretical draw. Hikaru's opponent lost the game when he let his king get trapped in the corner. When the position is drawable, the basic technique is:
Stay away from the corners. If you get pushed to the edge of the board, at least pick a square two or preferably three squares from the nearest corner. When the king and the mobile knight have pushed your king back as far as possible, the knight blockading the pawn will join in. At this point, push your pawn as fast as possible.
Now, no doubt the clock was a big factor for Hikaru's opponent. I'd imagine he had only a few seconds left and was trying to premove on every move.
Hikaru go bbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Just finished a game where if my opponent doesn't resign, I would have to win with 2 knights. Good thing he resign tho bcos we would be in it for long time😂 But hey, now I'm looking up on ways to win in that circumstance
This only works if the opponent has atleast 1 pawn or it will be a draw by stalemate. And leaving them a pawn is risky, if you don't know how to checkmate them fast enough or they will promote before you checkmate. If you picked up all his pawns by accident, then he shouldnt resign, because you can't win anymore
You actually can’t force a checkmate with two knights your opponent has to blunder.
If an opponent has a pawn, you can force it. But only if a pawn is blocked on 2nd Troitsky line. This case in the video isn't forced
@@chesstroller oh, what’s the troitsky line?
@@ricasiogaming7873squares where pawn can be blocked and 2 knights can force checkmate with 50 move rule. 2nd Troitsky line is a5 b6 c5 d5 e5 f5 g6 h5 (for black pawn)
normally its impossible to mate with 2 knights like that if the opponent doesnt blunder
A very quick google search will tell you that it is a win with the pawn allowing you to put the opposing king in the corner without stalemate
@@Victor-ji1rz nope, analysed the position with stockfish, 0.00 evaluation.
towrads the end, 3 moves before mate, king a1 is a blunder, he should've played king c3
@@naqeta Oh, you mean this specific position, sounded like you meant in general sorry
@@Victor-ji1rz no, its impossible in general. you cant mate with 2 knights unless enemy blunders with the king and moves to wrong square. it is possible, but only at imperfect play. when for example king+rook is forced mate, 2 knights cant force it.
@@naqeta ok yeah so again you're wrong. 2 knights against a bare king is indeed not mate but is the opposing side has a pawn in a certain part of the board it is in fact forced mate for the side with the 2 knights, google 'troitsky line'
Grandmaster.
Super, GM Hikaru Nakamura
Wow awesome 😮
Nice ❤
If white wouldnt waste a possible pawn move by moving the king, I think white couldve take on b6 and draw the game
he couldve just won outright. queen vs 2 knights queen wins all the time
@@okdudewhyareyoulookingatmych Obviously hikaru wouldnt have let him promote
@@okdudewhyareyoulookingatmych I also dont wee when did he waste a move
@@paupajares9678 bro this comment is 3 weeks old. I didnt know shit about chess at the time. Stop getting on my dick
And they said checkmating with 2knights was impossible
It is. The pawn prevents stalemate.
it cant be forced
It is if they’re the sole pieces on the board… white king, black king, 2 knights of whichever colour.. and its impossible as stalemate
@@mancitykshah2737 thats just obvious though
The title is sus😳
This is quite funny because white could've gotten a draw very easily by stalling out his clock due to insufficient material even though there's a forced mate.
If there is a forced mate, then the game cannot end in a draw by insufficient material
@@antsatuisku nope it ends in a draw either way, I tried it.
@@latermyfriend8934 then there can't be a forced checkmate
Bishop knight is harder
Two knights is by far harder. If you have bishop, knight and king vs king endgame, checkmating can be very tricky but It's possible. If you have two knights and king vs king endgame, then forcing checkmate is impossible, if your opponent don't have any pawn left, and even if your opponent has the pawn it has to be on certain square to be able force a checkmate. Not to mention that even if there is a forced mate with two knights, it can take over 50 moves to checkmate your opponent.
Says the 200 rated player.
Learn to mate with a queen first lil bro
Mhooo sheesh 😅
