i want to see hikaru discuss or even play Stafford Gambit because IM Eric Rosen goes crazy over it and won't stop talking about it but all I have ever seen Hikaru say is "Petrov is bad dont play it"
25:00 Wow that's crazy, that would never happen (in chess) _Hikaru pretending to forget the time people were analyzing him eating a salad on SCC Bullet_
Happy to see this. I knew about chess before but never actually got to play much. But I'm decently okay at impromptu strategy so I learned the pieces and movement really fast with no direction. On top of that, I have a dissociative personality disorder so over time I've seen chess as hopeless for me until now. I watched your video with Bjerg and took as many mental notes as I could from both of your play and all of your tips for him. Fast forward to today, I'm so happy playing out moves and my head and hearing you tell him that was correct/a better move affirming that I really AM making at least a little ground. Really fun and I love both of you guys' chemistry a ton thanks sm. I guess in the end I should also say, what stuck with me most from the Berg video is how you talked about material management, but above all else, pawns. I'm heavily a pawn economist and I love playing with and around them and the concept of pressuring an extra queen . I owe you an infinite amount man. Heres to more!
Thank you hikaru, you have really been a new friend through these dark times. I'm terrible at chess, but you really do make it cool. In years past id watch magnus content and I left and haven't come back for maybe 5 years.
This was one of the most interesting streams to watch. Great conversation, I learned a lot about chess history, Shogi, and Japanese culture. It's also nice to see move discussions at a higher level than pogchamps. I hope you invite Masi on again in the future.
Hikaru please make a video about the shameful and unprofessional act of tata steel 2021 arbiters towards Alireza Firouzja in the final round. These things should not happen in one of the most important chess events. Soo unprofessional. I think super elite chess players such as yourself should react to these unfortunate things happening at the top chess level events so we don’t see these happening again. Thank you 🙏🏻
@@ym276 The issue is you should not interrupt someone playing a critical position (after 6 hours of play) and tell him you have to move because we want to set this table ready for the tie breaks and you don’t have a chance to win it even if you win this game!! In many many ways it is wrong and unprofessional. It’s a shameful fail. I can’t imagine they did this if it was Magnus playing. So Alireza ended up drawing a complete winning position because his focus and also motivations were shattered. You should not see these things happen in any levels of chess let alone this was a seemingly top evebt for super GMs. All in all, it was very sad and should not happen ever again for anyone.
He is right about the mods. Look at 4Chan or wallstreetbets to see what the atmosphere could be like. I was watching a Pokemon stream, Im 26 btw, and there were only a couple kids watching and interacting in the chat, but the mods were very active and protective of these young kids passing through the channel. Its a big deal
@@ym276 Well, they were clearly very young, and all that matters to the mods is to keep the chat clean and respectful. Im sure the mods would not discriminate by age if someone was behaving poorly
Hikaru is SUCH a likeable person, he's probably the most influential person to chess in CENTURYS he's done so much for the game and got so many new players to the game. The chess world should be more grateful towards him.
I thought my eyes played me, when I saw Hiro Nakamura on your thumbnail. I always think of him when seeing you play, but I did not knew that I need this
I also found Xqc because of hikaru XD and already knew hafu because of chilled and Ze I feel like both of them would have very high potential when it comes to chess as a whole Chilled and Ze are usually the big brains of the group
Shogi is very different from Crazyhouse and Bughouse actually. There are a lot of different rules in Shogi, especially the way pieces promote by choice and with pawns only being allowed to move and take forwards, special rules for knight movements etc. Honestly, chess com lacks a good Shogi variant.
I can't find anything about a recent shogi cheater, but apparently Hiroyuki Miura was disqualified from a tournament in 2016. They later cleared him of charges, and 3 members of the Japanese shogi board had to resign.
A novelty is when an entirely new position is reached that has never occured before. As Hikaru said though Novelties aren’t that common nowadays because computers analyse openings to such depth that you can play 15 consecutive “perfect” moves. That said we still see new positions that can’t be found in the chess database (which has recorded thousands of games including games in the last century or even earlier).
@@joushua4428 thanks for explaining this...it seems like there is a fixed number of possibilities but as u mentioned I guess there are still new positions, pretty crazy to think about
Xqc has a talent of missing a mate in 1 but planning 5 steps ahead Lmao
That because his name doesn't start with a but X
@Jignesh Gupta 🤣
Honestly, people who think xQc is good at chess, probably don't understand how mediocre (bad?) he really is.
@@PHeMoX you're a smart guy
@@PHeMoX I am stunned at the sheer intelligence that radiates off of that reply.
More Masi and Hikaru please. You guys got great chemistry! Keep up the great work.
GMHikaru: "Is there any opening you want me to play?"
Me: It would have been classic if Masi said Bongcloud.
Maybe Agadmator will loves to see Hikaru goes for Evans gambit speedrun after the Bongclown saga.

They didn't even end up moving him so what's the issue?
He made a tweet saying he was going to talk about it on his stream today.

This guy has potential to be a "Twitch Hero" if he decides to stream 🤯
I am scared when xQc gets 3000 soon.
Almost half way there. He is 1200.😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
3000 losses maybe. That guys a moron.

HIRO NAKAMURA MEETS WITH HIKARU NAKAMURA
Hikaru is SUCH a likeable person, he's probably the most influential person to chess in CENTURYS he's done so much for the game and got so many new players to the game. The chess world should be more grateful towards him.
I thought my eyes played me, when I saw Hiro Nakamura on your thumbnail.
I always think of him when seeing you play, but I did not knew that I need this
Wow I like hearing you talk with Mr Oka. Hopefully there are more down the line
I also found Xqc because of hikaru XD and already knew hafu because of chilled and Ze I feel like both of them would have very high potential when it comes to chess as a whole Chilled and Ze are usually the big brains of the group
He is the freaking producer for attack on titan live adaptation.
OMG, it's Hiro Nakamura!

Same but for most people who watch his Twitch channel, it's the other way round apparently
PepeLaugh
Does anyone else noticed that Hikaru looks kinda like Randall Park? No? Only me? Okay...
Lmao I’ve never thought about it but you’re absolutely spot on, he even kinda speaks like Randall’s character in Fresh Off the Boat sometimes lol
I think its mostly the hair but i kinda see the resemblance
"xQc"???? Hikaru still promoting those Twitters chessless nobodies?
You gatekeeping chess?
PepeLaugh he doesn't know
The entertainment value is high
If there is one place where there are no gender issues its chess.....you think you're good? Go ahead, beat me.
