It's the opposite. He's legit mad and the smile is just for show. Watch it again, it's not genuine smile at all. It's a smile of someone s***ing on something but who smiles for half a second just to not seem like too much of an ogre about it. But I love Yasser anyway regardless of he thinks about Hikaru's extracurricular activities.
@@meemo.86 Hikaru is usually funny if like contradictory crackheads. He can't speak three sentences without disagreeing with himself. I don't know if Yasser is trolling or not, but I always took him for a lunatic.
Oh man. Seeing Yasser lose it at Hikaru for streaming and then Kasparov's amused reply to him. So good. Great to see such legends of the game weighing in on it.
Hikaru's motto was that he didn't care. That's how he qualified for the candidates in the first place. If he had started caring suddenly, then he might not have done as well as he did at the candidates. Remember that he just had to draw the last game to earn second spot.
Yes. But it's kind of hypocritical from Kasparov to mind Anglification of someones name, when he is the one that [unofficially] changed his own name from Gary (Garik) to Garry. But Kasparov is a well know know Hypocrite, so nothing new here.
@@inemanja Honestly if Kasparov wasnt such a well renowned cunt, I think there'd be many less people crowning Carlsen as the GOAT already when he's been at the top for ~5-10 years less than Kasparov was (not saying Carlsen won't eclipse him in that regard, but until it actually happens this is still a premature coronation)
Yasser's take makes him sound like a boomer, but I think it's actually kind of sweet, sounds like he was really rooting for Hikaru and disappointed he didn't get a shot at the title.
I think there's some envy there too. Because Hikaru is a stronger player than Yasser was, and had a real chance to win the Candidates or at least get 2nd place.
@@JCW86 nah you completely misread it. over his many years of commentating, you'll never find a time that Yasser has been envious of other chess players' success. he's known hikaru for decades and genuinely wants the best for him. not to mention he has such a long and illustrious career himself. he's qualified for a few candidates, been a second for a few world championship matches, reached world #3, and discovered a famous variation of the Pirc Defense to name a few things
@@JCW86 the f? do u know who yasser is? he's not just some chess bum, he's very accomplished. He is passionate in seeing fellow americans shine in the world stage. you make it sound like yasser is some kind of 1500 rated bum who hates on hiugher rated players. jeez
@@dmfaccount1272 Ironically, by setting his priority to streaming, he got better in the classical chess too, lol. If u watched this video, theres a part where he said; before he felt the pressure kept increasing as he played the tourney rounds. But now he didnt anymore and that improved his play on the candidates i think. Theres many cases where u got better with a "nothing to lose" mindset, as Hikaru treated the candidates as such.
Something I don't think these guys are getting, I don't think anyone enjoyed the candidates as much as Hikaru did. Happy with a smile on his face the whole time, getting third place without trying all too hard :)
Thats the thing. They totally get it and dont think they dont but theres a certain atmosphere in chess since forever and its being serious. Like VERY serious to an extent that theres a dont bother me this is super serious moment in time for me "as a candidate" and here you are a chad just taking the candidates like its any other tournament. See how Yasser states its thee most important moment in Hikaru's chess life and sure it MIGHT be but thats for Yassers world view and how Hikaru approaches events in his life is totally up to him and god forbid he makes World Championships like any other tournament he plays in is a crime for Yasser. Then again i do understand where Yasser is coming from since theres a theme and please just follow the theme for traditions sake "i get it" but i still stand with Hikaru on how he approaches events in his life "as indifferent as he can possibly be" i respect that.
Agreed. Love Hikaru who's videos really got me into Chess during lockdown but hard to forget how the Candidates ended for him... I guess this video is his way of trying to prove to us and probably himself that it didn't really matter.
I love Yasser ❤️ Hikaru laughs when Yasser mentions that he streams in the middle of his most important tournament in his life, because he literally doesn't care
half a point from making the most viewed chess game of all time, Im not angry im just dissapointed I think is Yassers mindset now that its said and done.
in the middle of the most important tournament of his life spending his free day working as a streamer . 😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 . I love you Yasser . I like this man . He is one of the best chess players in the world
Playing worse players in a blitz format is not really preparation. I'm not knocking him for doing it - it's his life and he should do what he feels is right. But Titled Tuesday is no preparation for playing classical against the best in the world.
@@RTAC_1234 It is true. However, it is still playing chess. Other people have not looked at a board and just take nothing but rest. I don't see the harm in either one. I didn't quite mean prep as in openings and strategy (some stuff you literally could not play or you would run out of time), but more so prep in preparing/relaxing for the next day.
@@PHeMoX I can certainly see your argument that it ultimately does no harm, and I wouldn't disagree with that. The thing that let Naka down wasn't prep anyway - he just isn't solid enough with black.
Yasser doesn't really look all that serious when he is trying to be serious, he just starts laughing either way even when he is mad
Original yasser video clip link pls.
mad for yasser is like “interesting” for the rest of us
It's the opposite. He's legit mad and the smile is just for show. Watch it again, it's not genuine smile at all. It's a smile of someone s***ing on something but who smiles for half a second just to not seem like too much of an ogre about it. But I love Yasser anyway regardless of he thinks about Hikaru's extracurricular activities.
That's because he looks like the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland lol
@@PerfectSense77 Dumb people would not see that just ignore them
It's funny to see Hikaru agree with himself. Good to see the two are on the same page!
It would be funnier if he disagreed.
@@meemo.86 Hikaru is usually funny if like contradictory crackheads. He can't speak three sentences without disagreeing with himself.
I don't know if Yasser is trolling or not, but I always took him for a lunatic.
Anyway, Hikaru's laugh is disproportionate, stupid and even rude.
@@wolfram9669 cry about it
@@wolfram9669 then why are you here?:)
I laughed out loud when Yasser was talking about Hikaru and literally pointing to his camera in the bottom right corner
Ahahahhahahahahah
Oh man. Seeing Yasser lose it at Hikaru for streaming and then Kasparov's amused reply to him. So good. Great to see such legends of the game weighing in on it.
Yasser: "You seriously streamed mid tournament?"
Hikaru: "Yasser".
💀🤚
Yasser, Yessir, nice...😬
Hikaru streamed? That's nothing, Magnus isn't even showing up!
😂
Stop it dude please. Enough of the comparison. No one cares
@@greatad2405 I literally don't care.
Everyone knows that Magnus is so dominant that he doesnt need a title anymore
fair point XP
I’m sorry you, but you are kind of a legend for playing another tournament like title Tuesday in the middle of the candidate’s.
4:39 the pandemic created a very different species (new breed of chess player Hikaru )
0:30 And he points at the EXACT position where he is 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm shocked this compilation didn't include the mouse incident.
CORRECTION: Incidents. There were apparently two of them.
YASSER NEVER FAILS TO DELIVER
Angry Yasser is nicer than most people at their happiest.
Can you believe Hikaru played chess in between playing more chess!!!
How dare he?
indeed. i always find playing chess such a distraction from playing chess. O_o
should b punished
Hikaru's motto was that he didn't care. That's how he qualified for the candidates in the first place. If he had started caring suddenly, then he might not have done as well as he did at the candidates. Remember that he just had to draw the last game to earn second spot.
that is the reason he did not win it ,, because he did'nt care for it
Garry's face when Yasser says Michael is so funny
Yes. But it's kind of hypocritical from Kasparov to mind Anglification of someones name, when he is the one that [unofficially] changed his own name from Gary (Garik) to Garry.
But Kasparov is a well know know Hypocrite, so nothing new here.
It's literally the same name though just English version or Russian version, both come from the archangel Michael in the bible
@@inemanja still the 🐐so who cares.

To god, i heard “how does he spend his free day? Working as a stripper” from Yasser
That smile from Yasser tho😂
Yasser's take makes him sound like a boomer, but I think it's actually kind of sweet, sounds like he was really rooting for Hikaru and disappointed he didn't get a shot at the title.

Him placing his screen on the exact spot Yasser is pointing to is genius.
When she sees you're gonna play titled Tuesday should be a meme. The way Dina's face lit up.
Hikaru is like that backbencher kid who tops the class and Yasser is like a class teacher who goes crazy hearing the news!
😂😂😂😂
Yasser throws you under the bus. Your legacy is ruined. Banned. Excommunicated. You will not be invited to his birthday party!!
Hikaru Wick excommunicated from the house of super GM's... Saint Louis
😱
0:30 that laugh 😂😂
its so contagious man
Hikaru is a man of the people! Streaming is his top priority he’s made that clear multiple times.
Congrats to the people for holding him back
@@dmfaccount1272 that’s his choice tho, who is anybody to criticize

I like how the angle makes it so yasser actually gestures to where hikaru is
I think Yasser was actually paying Hikaru a compliment, in a way.
Garry Kasparov got it spot on. When he streams he analyzes his games and it helps out his classical game prep.
Yasser is awesome, he has a cool style as a commentator.
Hikaru didnt see the ones where he randomly makes mouse grab position while looking at positions
Purposely
You re genuinely true. That's so nice of see. Good man, with tremendous skills. Respect

Well, he should’ve been playing for the world championship. Had he not put focus on his stream, he probably would’ve bedn.
Hikaru your performance at the candidates was beyond impressive. I have no idea how you balanced training with an aggressive stream schedule
Yasser being "mad", still talks in that way that puts you to sleep.
Yes, good take😆
“How dare of me” - Hikaru, Super GM
Yasser: 😊"I am _VERY ANGRY_ with Hikaru"☺
Hikaru's laughter is contagious 😂
Hikaru’s BODY LANGUAGE 😂😂😂😂
Yasser was one of my favorite chess educators growing up, glad to see he hasn't changed lol.
1:56 damn throwing shade on alireza
Yasser probably just wanted his countryman to do well and win. Doesn’t sound malicious at all.
Yasser as Donald Pleasence: "Michael has come back... to killllll"
It's so important the champion doesn't even defend his title smh
Hikaru throw away historical chance to become 17th World Champion because of UA-cam. So funny, indeed! Go, Ding!
1:49 I knew Garry would instantly confirm that the presenter would know it.
Yasser being mad. He’s never been mad in his life.
He got mad once on his life... against Kasparov.
0:00 YAAAAY The best song is back!!!!
Hikaru putting his screen on the bottom right of the screen made it even funnier when Yasser said "Hikaru" and pointed there lol
Yasser the angry talk show host 🤣
Hikaru watching himself and "hmm hmm.." like he doesn't know what he will be sayin.
The cherry on top is Hikaru's "don't give a fuck" attitude at being criticized. Does he feel ashamed? NOPE! HAHAHAHAHAH
Love it
Botvinnik said that he actually had played blitz, Once on a train in 1923
Im new to Hikaru videos, I really admire how he's a literal chess legend who also is a great streamer with awesome chill vibes
He became a full time streamer very recently though
@@jackhanma6553 Thats probably why his content has branched out to me
This is how a dad disciplines his son 😂😂😂
Oh my goodness, Danya needs to reenact this conversation and be both Garry and Yasser 😂
Absolutely no hype trains either, very important
This aged like milk… Hikaru was so close to being in the world championship match!
Agreed. Love Hikaru who's videos really got me into Chess during lockdown but hard to forget how the Candidates ended for him... I guess this video is his way of trying to prove to us and probably himself that it didn't really matter.
Dude was PRESSED.
I love Yasser ❤️
Hikaru laughs when Yasser mentions that he streams in the middle of his most important tournament in his life, because he literally doesn't care
HA HA HA. . Old man yells at the sky! Yasser is losing it
Henceforth you shall be known as Michael Hakamura.
Try to order "just a regular coffee" in a starbucks...
The irony is that half of the folk watching Yasser were only there because of Hikaru
0:43 THE ULTIMATE FLEX
yasser got a the legend kasparov on to talk about streaming.
yasser is mad but also amused by the situation 😄
just wait when Yasser finds out about alireza bullet games with danya
That story of Alireza being accused of cheating is so hilarious.
Lets remember them Hikaru's Full Name: Hikaru I don't care Nakamura
Need more stuff like this , entertaining 😂
Yasser is every GM dad.
hikaru has the most contagious laugh I have ever heard
Yasser is the clone of Gore Vidal,.. down to the mannerisms.. XD
Yasser gives Hunger Games Capitol vibes
This just proves Yasser has 100% become a chessbrah.
yasser is a great storyteller
Yasser picked Hikaru to win the tournament. So Yaz was mad that Hikaru was trying to make his prediction incorrect 😉
Yasser would make a fantastic cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland
😂😂🤣
Lmao whoever that commentator was voicing over his match with firouzja sounded like a 4 yr old at a doctoral thesis defence 😂
Yasser mad!? WOT!
Yasser forgot to dye his other eyebrow
LOL
8:25 Gimme that fist bumppp! LMAO 😂😂😂
Yasser : I'm very upset about it..
Twitch : YAAAAAAYYYYY!!!
because streaming make more money than that tournament, thats why hikaru choose streaming🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣
Yasser is stuck to the old stigma that if ur a Chess GM u need to be serious, boring, no life just pure chess. Cmon old man, we @ 2022 now
7:30 Hikaru going insane over "InsanityTakesOver"
This dude 😂 has the coolest channel!!👍🏼
I mean would you have found the move if you hadn't? We will never know. LOL
half a point from making the most viewed chess game of all time, Im not angry im just dissapointed I think is Yassers mindset now that its said and done.

Hikaru has fans that want to be updated. It's no different from a player talking to the press during a tournament.
It's because hint hint: one activity pays more than the other.
Bobby Fischer was absolutely right about what he said regarding other professional chess players
@@dark_magician_sdy
to paraphrase he said chess players at a certain level are jealous, petty, mean and generally don't get along with each other
Scarinsky played the Iran guy that was blasphemy evil

Lol. Yasser almost said Hikaru play Title Tuesday every weekend
he's just mad he tried streaming and no one watched
Hikaru makes money being good a chess
