- FM Hans Jung challenged Hikaru to a blindfold game directly. He's no slouch though with 40 years of experience in blindfold chess! Hikaru also plays a game against WCM Olena Kucherenko, both at the Annex Chess Club.

The thing about blindfold chess that I struggle with is not just holding the position in your head, but maintaining it accurately while you still calculate variations.
My understanding is that its less about seeing the position directly, but more as seeing each piece in relation to other pieces, so the calculations and analysis go hand in hand with holding the position. I do something similar with snooker, I hold the positions of the reds in my mind visually as a concept, so that I dont necessarily know the position of each red but rather I know the distance from each red to the desired object ball. I might be way off but thats what I do personally
I would be like rook takes h6, and they would be like there is no piece on h6 , and i would be like YIKES.
That's why you ain't a gm. But if you did chess as a child for years and years like the strong gms, then I'm sure it would come no problem. Just watch and be amazed.
It may help if you realize that the formation of ideas grammatically (as demonstrated by your statement about struggling with this concept) is almost as remarkable a feat. As someone who puts ideas into words, you know that being able to do this is difficult for most people, and my guess is that you would say the ability to do this comes with time and with practice. The same skill is simply being demonstrated here with chess, and if you compare it to those skills in language and linguistics, it's really not too much different. - j q t -
What's your rating?
Actual Blind Person: I am way ahead of you guys.
97 years ahead?
Okay then...
Learn chess
Actual blind people use tactile chess boards they can touch to know the position
the way he tells her at the end she's still losing no matter the time 💀
OOF
fr hes a menace
Cold blooded
@@JoeARedHawk275 He says it so genuinely too. “I mean, you were losing anyways but I mean, whatever.”
He's such a people person, isn't he?
Imagine not knowing what chess is and seeing two guys sitting and saying random letter/number sequences, and after 20 minutes of doing that smiling and discussing their mistakes lmao
their mistakes? you mean discussing the one guys mistakes lol
Immense respect to those who are capable of playing blindfold chess. I tried and realized how hard it is for us, mortal humans.
Its only practice. When you out laughing with your friends they training.
@@exelmans8855 More like when you're out living your entire life (not just out laughing with friends). These dudes started playing at a really young age and have been playing/training consistently at a high level for their entire life!
@Sebastian Your head must be huge!
I like how bobby fischer is making the moves. Good to see him still enjoy chess
Lmfao
Nobody:
In Hikaru's mind:
Take take take check check take take checkmate GG yo!!
“Oh how can I hang the pawn!” “Am I winning”(squints toward ceiling)
"Do I take the juicer...Or I could go for the wooden shield..."
I like how everyone stands and comes to watch when they begin
not fair, hikaru was using the ceiling engine 3:00
lol xDD
Im really amazed by the way he humbles plays with the FM with maximum respect. The thumbnail also respecting him is great. Congratz Hikaru
Hikaru is seeing the pieces in the ceiling like Beth Harmon
Beth Harmon is seeing the pieces in the ceiling like Hikaru
They're doing this, while I still have to count out each row and file in my head LOL It's amazing to watch
Naka makes 2100s look like 1200s.
I smiled a lot watching Hikaru's quick attack on the 1st game
Loving this Toronto content! I wish I made it out there to watch these games.
TORONTO -- It's like New York, without all the GUNS! 🍁 - j q t -
Finally... A WORTHY OPPONENT
looked at this with the engine, apparently with the position at 3:13, there is Re8 exf6 gxf6 Bh6 f5 Qc3+ d4 exd4 and Kxh7and apparently white is just completely winning, that is so inanely inhuman tho, they played the much more human way, and the engines seond line, with Nxh7 Bxe7 Re8 and Bc5, although apparently Qc7 was slightly inaccurate, Qb7 was better, and if you look at hikau, he can immediately tell, and playes the best move, f4, absolutely insane game
Literally, my jaw was on the floor. Absolutely amazing talent and skill. I mean, how are you not world champion yet? Can you arrange a blind chess match against Carlson? Literally love watching you play. An utter pleasure
He is fischer world champion tho ^^
This is the most unironically coolest sh!t I've ever seen.
I really felt confident and powerful when I was Hikaru's Hand :))
So this is actually what Hikaru sees when looking at the ceiling
they have to check the ceiling! someone is giving hikaru signals in the ceilings xD
or hes doing a niemann :P
@@dromedda6810 i really do want updates on the niemann case though xD been too silent for too long xD i guess since hundreds of millions are on the line though xD
Truly amazing..
I want to try blindfold chess but i fear my skill level isn't up to it so i have decided to start slow by just covering one eye..
im only 1300 and ive been playing blindfold chess a bit. I can only beat people way lower than me but the games have plenty of mistakes. I like to use it as more of a handicap to make a game vs a low rated player more fun and engaging for both of us
i've done something similar but i was still doing well so i had to wear sunglasses and reduce the light a little bit 🙂
THAT WAS FCKIN AMAZING DUDE
The intro music gives me nostalgia for some reason.
She was losing the moment she hit the clock against you. Mate in 2653 was inevitable
6:10 the way she just stare at something is like... intimidating tbh
Your intro is a great rendition to the 90’s. Love it
thats impressive
How is it even possible goddamnnn
Yeahhh
There's a video on YT of a blindfolded Carlsen playing, and obviously beating, five players (who were not blindfolded) at one time. It is something to see, just mind-blowing.
He went ruthless against the fcm
Hans REPRESENTS...you are an ambassador 👏
12:08 is Qxa3, Rxa3, Rf8+ forcing a rook for queen trade a good idea for stalling? Hahaha
Oh no daddy Hikaru 🫣
Even with eyes open i cant play like hikaru blindfold
Blindfold makes zero difference in the level of play for him, so you along with the entire world minus like 5 people can’t play eyes open like Hikaru does blindfolded
well no shit sherlock
@@krisboudreau3475 I won't say it makes zero difference. Against other 2750 players it would be a significant handicap. No matter how clearly you see the board, visually looking at the board and pieces would make a difference.
Not too shocking
the WCM fared better than the FM :D
04:55 Ng5 Hit this guy like a bee sting!
I'm really good at blindfolded chess, I just keep a mirror in my shoe
Legendary ✨
blindfold chess is thrilling🥺
Hey Alright
Why didn't he bring his Queen back? Oh, wait, he didn't see it!!!!
Hikaru's really good too
That's incredible!!!
mindchessblowing
this is hikarus main game I swear
this is science fiction
These guys even know if 2 Knights or Rooks can reach same square. I’ve played with friends and lose track near high teens or low 20’s at best.
It’s fun just seeing how far you can get with reasonable position.
These guys: “I’m also playing through the 1968 World Series..”
‘I’m watching a documentary on Russia and The US Space Race.’
Hikaru, don't look on stockfish when you play blindfold
How hard can it be it’s just blind takes 😂😂
Does somebody happen to know what the time control of the blindfold game was? 🙂
that checkmate tho 😍😍
He does it so well!
Hikaru clearly looking at the ceiling mirror 😅
Que incrível cara! Parece até difícil de acreditar!
Interesting that for the most part Hikaru initially closed his eyes and the other guy didnt. Then later Hikaru switched to looking up. I would definitely find it too hard to be distracted with my eyes open.
They can play chess without the board🤣
4:15 when ur tryna squeeze out a massive dump
Oh so the guys behind were playing the moves. At first I thought they are distracting lol.
he doesnt even close his eyes
Nakamura Hikaru is a god.
bro on right side thinks he's hikaru
Thia is insane to me! How?!
Hikaru Miss check mate with queen
I tried blindfold when i was 15 year old
now i am 30 years old 🥺 can't see whole board.
If two people are playing blindfold chess they don’t need a board. I just realized this
Well I mean.. . The only time it's needed is to analyze or dispute a position as solid proof. But yeh other than that, not needed at all
HiGodru Nakagoata
VOLIM TE HIKARU
And still lost!!!
No Canada you cannot have Hikaru. Don't try to woo him with OTB chess..
can someone please tell me the name of the song in his intro???
Ngl Hikaru is insanely good looking
Man what is the song that plays at the start of this it's killing me that I can't find it
Coma Svensson lose for you
@@Bodom32 thankyou
next time you wonder about what song you just hear, use Shazam bro
0:17 song?
You are the strongest in the world 🥰
it's really cool to play without seeing Hikaru best😁
What is the song called at the beginning?
11:26 what was the point of pushing the pawn
if Q takes the pawn it unguards f8, so that white can now take the pawn on a3 with the Q, and the rook can't take because of the backrank mate threat.
Prison style.
In prison they draw it out
Bruh, they got chess in prison.. And alot of people get into fights and shanked over it 😅😢
Blindfold speedrun???
Wow this is insane. :D
Why didnt the guy in the first guy take the pawn?
The opening was "queen's gambit" from White (Hikaru). Black (the other guy) could've taken the pawn with dxc4, which is called "Queen's Gambit Accepted", but instead chose to defend the pawn with c6, which is called "Slav Defense"".
dxc4 looks good because you're up a pawn, but White can fork the pawn and the King with Qa4+. With best play, Black loses the attacking pawn anyway, so it's not really a true gambit.
what is the intro song?
her game looked like most of mine do as white, lol
It's that girl from hxh
Please will you include fewer games against scrubs?
Ahohoy
Wow
