    Hikaru smashed carlsen during a high pressure speed chess final match whilst whistling, head bobbing and singing terribly. 0 calculation yet absolutely smashed Carlsen.
    Here, he's an NFL player paired against a collegiate athlete, struggling to grasp the situation, focused entirely, no singing, no dancing.

I know the matches are going by very quickly, but it seems like having this could possibly be considered an advantage. We all saw what happened with Petrosian last week.. and obviously this is VERY different, but I'm curious what would happen if some people in the chat started offering help.

    I think I'm starting to understand Hikaru's play. A lot of the middle game is improving piece placement unless there is an obvious trick. Positional play with Tactical awareness. Pawn structure seems to be whatever restricts opponent's activity. So there is some prophylaxes with his play as well but well hidden. Players feel the pressure before they understand the why behind it.

    you can fix this by not using a battery inside the case with something like a external battery
    also if you have a flip screen extend it away from the camera body
    if none of these are a option using 1080p will also fix the overheating issue this applies to almost every A7xIII variation

    Could you include twitch chat somewhere next time? I think it would be a lot more enjoyable for this type of long videos.

    Fedoseev was desperate in that game before the bullet section because he knew he'd get smashed in bullet.

    it's good seeing GMs making rookie mistakes like my under 300 @ss. Makes me feel better knowing that my brain can process what he's saying. Makes the idea of becoming a GM play level chess person more attainable.

    Does Hikaru know that he has ads for CSGO Cheats running on this video? It seems like something he wouldn't like

    Hikaru's reaction is better than his chess.
    no offense though.
