@@knightking4412 cuz I can? What do you want me to say here, apologize and say the likes of me shouldn't dare to put himself in the same sentence with the legendary Hikaru? Also.. I'm clearly complimenting Hikaru here... I'm suggesting he rarely loses winning positions while I often do
wow this was so much fun to watch! love nakamura's fighting spirit, but the eventual understanding of the inevitableness of draw. also nepo's funny faces and smiles haven't changed at all
Only thing Hikaru hates more than bad chess is bad chess played by him. I think most Hikaru videos have at least one, "What am I doing? I was better, but I messed it up" said in a tone of absolute disgust.
@@thomashullot9422 Nb3 is the best move, but yes the sicilian najdorf is an opening with insane depth at the GM level and it is genuinely surprising Hikaru didnt play Nb3. Maybe he was trying to get them both out of prep? But yah, the theory is pretty nuts in this opening.
06:42 Hikaru missed "d7!!", where you give a Rook for free temporarily, but then d7 wins a tempo on an overloaded black Queen, with pawn promotion imminent (in short: d7 is a hidden, multi-purpose move, which actually achieves A LOT of things!). Even if black tries to blockade the pawn, they lose back both Rook and Bishop while the d7 pawn is protected by the white Bishop. Completely winning for white... Hikaru knew the attack should work, and was mad at himself for not spending a few more seconds trying to spot the idea.
Yea its crazyyyy how most of GM games are dead even til the endgame.. So freakin crazy if u really think about it, they have the eval bar in their head, one slight move and u can see them saying "oh this is winning!" Or viceversa
he has the board in front of him but he feels more comfortable to watch the monitor. obviously. these guy has spent a hemilifelong on videogames. because he can see the post production editing even live😂😂😂...
6:20, what did Hikaru miss about Rxe5? I'm sitting here completely baffled by this. If Qxe5, you trade the queens and play Bc8 instantly, top line of the engines, saw this in seconds. If you take with the pawn, the queen can go wherever she wants, e4, c5, b6, completely winning, threatening everything
Один всю жизнь качает головой и смотрит в небеса, другой постоянно насмехается. Именно поэтому (в т.ч. это показал 2024) они не чемпионы. Вы представояете, чтобы так Ботвинник, к примеру, качал головой!? One spends his whole life shaking his head and looking at the sky, while the other is constantly mocking. That's why (including as shown in 2024) they are not champions. Can you imagine Botvinnik shaking his head like that, for example!? एक पूरी ज़िन्दगी सिर हिलाता रहता है और आसमान की तरफ़ देखता रहता है, जबकि दूसरा लगातार मज़ाक उड़ाता रहता है। इसी कारण (2024 ने भी यह दिखाया) वे चैंपियन नहीं हैं। क्या आप सोच सकते हैं कि उदाहरण के लिए बोटविननिक इस तरह सिर हिलाता!? Einer schüttelt sein ganzes Leben lang den Kopf und schaut in den Himmel, während der andere ständig spottet. Deshalb (auch das hat 2024 gezeigt) sind sie keine Champions. Können Sie sich vorstellen, dass Botvinnik zum Beispiel so den Kopf schüttelt!?
Shows why nepo will never be no1 player he doesn’t have the nerves. Naka psyched him out and as soon as nepo thought he was slightly better he offered naka a draw.
The amount of facial expressions from both players 😂😂😂
Damn nepo has always been a beast defender
Hikaru annoyed about drawing a winning position, while I manage to lose half the winning positions I get into
why are u comparing ur self to hikaru

9:35 Nepo "DRAW?!"
Hikaru "No.... Wait.... I think TAKES TAKES TAKES Rook takes Queen g3 Takes here here check, takes here.... Finally "
Nepo "DRAW?"
Hikaru "Yep"
😂
Watching these GMs play at a young age seems almost dreamlike
It's really cool. Nepo was so young there! What happened? Too many cheeseburgers.
@@propagandacritic5511 not very cool joke by the way
@@propagandacritic5511 I think it's funny

I love nepos silly faced!
LOL Hikaru declining the draw 9:39
0:42 Hikaru is searching for mouse😂
He took the pawn
I though same, in other games he does that 😂
he didn't have computer back then
nepo is beast. offering a draw when the position is exactly balanced.
I love nepo's upside down smiley face expression, hasn't changed a bit.

The only thing Hikaru loves more than chess is himself.
Nepo at 0:31 - "??? how do you not know the next 10 moves?"
Nb3 is also playable.

thats the cold war right there
These two top players are the funniest and most entertaining I think.
Watching young Hikaru blitz is so damn exciting
That noises in bacground at the end omg wtf organizers
The battle of facial expressions
9:41 declining a draw offer in a position where only black can play for the win is wild
kinda hard to think when there is a electric saw in the playing hall.
They were renovating the west entrance. The jackhammers in the 4th round were a bit much.
Emotional rollercoaster from both sides
Hikaru is cheating, he sees the analysis on the screen 😅.
Nepo was already very strong despite being so young :)
They look so much younger, gold!
06:42 Hikaru missed "d7!!", where you give a Rook for free temporarily, but then d7 wins a tempo on an overloaded black Queen, with pawn promotion imminent (in short: d7 is a hidden, multi-purpose move, which actually achieves A LOT of things!).

Did you mean "d6!!"?

@@jiangchuYT No, the sequence was something like: cxd6 Bxe4, then d7 !!
@@lockalhost I was confused when I read your post which started with "Hikaru missed "d7!!"" Thank you for the clarification.
@@jiangchuYT That was the whole point, to make you calculate 2 moves. See? You missed it just like Hikaru did :)
Felt bad hikaru missed the idea of trading the rooks off and then pushing for the queen side victory

Nepo kinda looks cute here, now he's chubby.
Nepo kinda hela damn fine
Nepo was fat now he's obese. You sound like you're from America with all that nice bs talk
he's still cute ngl
he is still cute but that time he was young so maybe he was +4 or 5 that time
More like morbidly obese .
Its quirky how Hikaru shakes his head as he makes moves :)
When Hikaru declined the Draw, Nepo should slap him in the face and said Wake up 😂
Nepo siendo una bestia defensiva desde tiempos inmemoriales, lo demostro también contra Caruana en el candidatos 2024
Agree
Crazy to think nepo never touch 2800 rating
Was close, like 2795
Lmao, young nepo still a savage. Hikaru like, are you kidding let’s go. Nepo like bro it’s a draw just accept it
The game starts at 9:23 btw 🤣🤣
Nepo put on a lot of weight
the most interesting thing is the probably Cammarata Chess Table.
Bro how come they get every move as best , excellent or good and i already have 4-5 inaccuracies in first 20 moves😭😭
Yea its crazyyyy how most of GM games are dead even til the endgame.. So freakin crazy if u really think about it, they have the eval bar in their head, one slight move and u can see them saying "oh this is winning!" Or viceversa
9:07 bro Nepo moved too quickly if he thinks a bit he will beat Hikaru 100%
he has the board in front of him but he feels more comfortable to watch the monitor. obviously. these guy has spent a hemilifelong on videogames. because he can see the post production editing even live😂😂😂...
Time management was awful for both of them at that time.
Seriously, there are people coming here to watch the chess ??? I'm focusing on their faces lmao
Are you gay?😂
Nepo looks like Keanu Reeves

I was thinking of that.
I kept saying,"Take the rook!!!" while watching this.....he kept pinning the rook but didn't take

How old that match is ? Nepo looks like a baby

When I play chess, I shake my head not to mock my opponent but to use it more like a "what am I doing?", and I think it's the same case here.
