Fun fact: Magnus Carlsen’s teacher was xqc all along

I love that Hikaru's tone is the same in reviewing super GM level tournament games and also 900 online rated games

“Please don’t call him X ,u guys aren’t close like that,” is probably the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while lol

So nice of xqc to allow Hikaru to observe and learn from his game. He is a great teacher!

It's an enigma for me how a chess player of Hikaru's caliber gets his head around games

I died laughing when hikaru said xqc did “preparation” off stream.

9:18 making jokes on Hikaru’s chat is a dangerous game 😂😂😂

I think beating XQC was maybe the most surreal moment in me playing online chess. I couldn't believe it was actually him. I'll be honest tho he was probably half awake because it was late at night and he just stopped playing pretty much after he blundered his knight. Good times…

that King and pawn end game analysis was so useful,thanks.

Who could have thought that kick would bring hikaru and xqc together

Love these breakdowns!

I think playing bong cloud and Botez gambit in your second game is quite an accomplishment.

Hikaru: I believe xQc has been looking at chess offstream xQc not looking at chat

props to xQc for showing hikaru how to play chess

ah yes, my favourite youtuber “hickaroo” has uploaded

Reckful used to be warcraft gladiator and I remember incontrol died too, the sc2 pro...lots of streamers die. Like sitting for hours is bad for your health or something.

POG CHAMPS NEED MORE

These can’t be real 900 games😂

Can someone enlighten me what's this "New Kabob" (:D) he is referring to at 4:48?

15:03 He makes sounds like Michael Rosen.

Oh no

you gotta do another video helping X learn more! those are my fav videos you have done.

That “please don’t call him X” guy clearly wasn’t around during the PogChamps tournament where Hikaru trained xQc. I think not trading the queens is down to that phobia we lower rated players have of losing the (theoretically) most valuable piece on the board. I could do it if it leads to mate but otherwise I’d most likely be averse to it myself. I probably wouldn’t hang as many pieces though 😂

Glad to see you making more content about other creators. I'm not pro at this, cause I might have millions of clicks, but not millions of subs, so I was nothing but a tiny fish, but I'll say this anyways: I suspect your push to 5 million will be helped by videos with other big creators. I've been following this creator space since 2006, so more or less almost since its dawn, so I don't know nothing. Also, thanks for the chess lessons :)

Funny af

Very entertaining

commonnnn....your bullet brawl game pleaseeeeee

since when was greed good lol

Indeed

@15:15 Hikaru forgot they were 900s? 🤣

Juicer

Funner fact: H loves X

Kinda unfortunate to have the Botez gambit named after you :)

"cAnAyDiA"

QVC

Is Hikaru saying Canadia on purpose? I know he must be, but the casual nonchalance with which he says it gets me worried

THROBBING

Whoever had the arrogance to tell Hikaru not to call xQc X cause they aren’t friends like that, needs reality check and should be embarrassed af to act like your parasocial life watching xQc every day makes you his friend and gives you some superior authority to tell others if they are his friend or not and what they can/can’t call him. _News flash_ X has no idea who you are, you’re not his friend, and Hikaru being his coach for pog champs has spent more time engaging with X 1 on 1 than you ever have by attempting to get his attention commenting in his chat. Fortunately for whoever that was, I have to pause the savagery so my comment doesn’t get removed by KZfaq. Surely your parents are proud raising a child that tries to tell off one of the best chess players in the world. Kids the days are despicable.

Why does Hikaru like xQc?

Xqc is the biggest juicer
