How the hell can you accuse him of cheating? He's so fast and he premoves too. At the same time, he explains the moves and predicts his opponent's moves. This dude is a machine.
You're right. Chess engines can't crunch the numbers fast enough to help him, even if he could somehow consult an engine on camera without us noticing.
@@tywonellington, it's very simple. He's determined to destroy his live, lose his subscribers, his channel, lose his money, lose his house, car, pineapple shirts, etc. And cheating is the only way to accomplish that.
It is clear from watching performances like this that Kramnik has never actually seen Hikaru playing online in top form. The lightning reactions, the explanation of strategy, the pre-moving,.. and of course this is no different at all from any other online chess performance of Hikarus. Kramnik needs to get a life and start focusing on other issues and not just the people he probably is envious of.
😂 right! literally every player wants to play the easy pairings. and for hikaru its easier pairings than other super gms because he's better than most and some of the times a bit lucky with his pairings too
To play bullet u have to be a good shuffler on board blitzing safe moves to gain time on ur opponent hikaru here could be one of the best shufflers in the game
For those laughing at sacbutt's name, a sackbut was an ancient stringed musical instrument much like the lyre which is a u-shaped harp with strings fixed to a crossbar, used in ancient Greece.
He's literally at #1 or #2 of the rating board, and his opponents are mostly around 2700-2800, which is a 500 points difference. Therefore, he'd probably have to win 3-4 matches consecutively and also not lose to gain points
It's all very simple. The odds are that you either win or you lose, (or draw,) so not counting draws you have a 50/50 chance of winning. So if Hikaru wins more than half of his games he's clearly cheating! It's obvious! Numbers don't lie! Just ask the famous statistician Mr. Kramnik! Interesting.
Interesting ! At the same time, for chess players, the odds of being world champion are very low (less than 0.5%, in any given year of course) and the odds of not being world champion is very high(greater than 99.552%)... How interesting would many find this ✊🏼
If Hikaru was cheating his clearly not taking moves from an engine. Not playing at that speed and making a few errors. He would maybe have the evaluation bar visible or something. I don't actually think he is cheating for the record but if he was it's clearly a different way that noobs cheat online because he's so good already.
@@Joshwaheazo right I think someone mentioned even just have something alert you to the fact that there's a big evaluation swing possible in certain positions is enough to make you look for it. It's like how you might be able to solve chess puzzles easily but seeing those tactics in a real game are difficult because you don't know what to be looking for.
@@ebreshea1337 Yes, I don't think he is but it would be a massive advantage for someone like Hikaru. Especially in a low time evaluation if you make a bad move your see it instantly meaning you have more time to evaluate a defense and if the bar swings high you know to spend more time and find the tactic. It would help you manage your clock very very efficiently. At the highest level of play any advantage is massive. A long time ago on AOE2 I realised if you drop a relic before your monk drops he reaches the monastery it still placed it in the building and you could spam it 10 times I stomped everyone for a few months before I explained the bug. I think it's still in the game even today no idea if the new player base know. This was before competitive gaming was really a thing on game spy. I was already a top 10 player the player pool was quite small so a little less impressive than it would be today. But that small advantage of 5 gold a second made the imperial age so much cheaper I was unplayable. Small edges matter at the top.

This is all parts of his villain cheater plan😈
And he’s been a GM for twenty years, and a multiple time US champion. Why he would be cheating all of a sudden is baffling.
You're right. Chess engines can't crunch the numbers fast enough to help him, even if he could somehow consult an engine on camera without us noticing.

@@Entropy825Hikaru gets impatient when stockfish doesn't pick up the depth fast enough
16:05 plays against Magnus 🐐
"maybe I'm just too old for bullet" he says as he's on a win streak in first place
😂 After winning Magnus, Hikaru feels too much power. ggs
45:22 that was the whole point that I was watching for...

Dude when he starts moving on to the next game before me or his opponent know it’s gg”s I feel genuine happiness
16:08 "why do I hear boss music?"
Magnus effect but still got cooked
Around 33:00 you're too funny. The over the top satire makes it that much funnier. Stay winning dude
like the elections are not rigged tho lmao
"Ohh we're playing Aman here, very strong player from Armenia... wait what is wrong with me he's from Canadia" 🤣🤣😅
absolute BEAST man, really cool to see you flip a seemingly drawish game into a double W
So Hikaru has to be the N1 bullet player. Even Magnus loses
good joke based on 1% of 1 random video 😂
12:21 watching it in 2x speed hits different 🤣🤣 holy sheesh
Strong player from Canadia! Goo Aman
Sackbutt is the name of a medieval trombone from Europe.
51:16 missed the free queen.
Rook.
@@frostyvrost6769rook d1.
Amand Hambelton, strong player from Armenia, i mean Canadia
Saying nihal gets easy pairing while he played hikaru twice is some kramnik level shit
😂 right! literally every player wants to play the easy pairings. and for hikaru its easier pairings than other super gms because he's better than most and some of the times a bit lucky with his pairings too
Pat Benetar 'love is a battlefield '
Canadia? Lmao
Hikaru adopts so many people that he thinks he can change their country of origin…
37:27 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The king of Bullet ❤
3rd option!
I’d find interesting the figuring out the logistics
The lack of a pineapple-shirt speaks for itself.
"That's like Magnus Effect"...
10:24 "just went blind for a second" - you mean technical difficulties? interesting....
he only plays magnus once and its at 16:05 your welcome =)
pat benatar love is a battlefield lol
This thumbnail is one of the greatest of all time.
Just like the election eh eh 😂
To play bullet u have to be a good shuffler on board blitzing safe moves to gain time on ur opponent hikaru here could be one of the best shufflers in the game
Well done Naka😂
rest of the stream?

That explains everything
33:00
Aman from Armenia 😆😆😆 1:30
the "Canadia" right after is the icing on the cake xD
Yes 🖐🏻
First defeat he get is from nihal who plays like hikaru
Why can you see the evaluation of each move, is that normal 4:20
Thats the time spent per move 😂
@@NathanLargeaud-bo8ii thanks, makes sense. I usually play on lichess so I'm unfamiliar with the layout
32:17
Hikaru plays so fast I can barely follow his moves
Play the video in 0.5x 😂
He’s clearly cheating!!!!
@@sciencefaction2646kramnik is suspicious in this video as well
@Hikaru are you going to post the second half also?
is there a part two?
Hikaru has an Elon Musk chip in his head.
How much did you pair the intern that paired you to a 1600.
That NM was good good
So is Aman Hambleton from Armenia or from Canadia now?
Arman from CAN ADIA... lol... still love you bro..
where is the rest of the stream
Can anyone tell me why Hikaru sometimes doesnt gain points when he wons?
Opponent was too low rated.
He's literally at #1 or #2 of the rating board, and his opponents are mostly around 2700-2800, which is a 500 points difference. Therefore, he'd probably have to win 3-4 matches consecutively and also not lose to gain points
Start off with gg y not😂😂😂
rip to the armenian chess brah aman hambleton
Yes more bullet always !
What a baby. Love his exxcuses
How can this VOD be from Sept? He references Kramnik cheating accusations which happened in November
Hikaru is good
12.42 lmao
Elections that aren’t rigged don’t have proven voter box stuffers 😂😂
wow. how does he do this so fast, talk his moves through and pre move...must be cheating
this is interesting

@@ebreshea1337 I think my advantage is smaller the evaluation bar would be more similar to having map hack 🤭.
The goat
aman is so slow its honestly frustrating
its even more frustrating when you don't understand chess to get why aman can't break his chains most of the times
Aman is from Armenia lol???
first
My man blundered a bishop still won 8:50
300 elo moment
Wrong beed vibrated
after blundering bishop he proceeds to sac two more minor pieces and then won.
"You have no right to interfere in their lives".....does stopping them from grooming and brainwashing children count at interfering?
