I know it's been said before but your arrow management illustrating your thoughts is just next level

12:49 Bro was trying to scholarmate hikaru lmao

Hikaru please teach Modern in good depth and multiple ideas of breaking with different structures and also guide on how to deal with very passive closed positions where good moves are becoming difficult to find.

I (1800) taught my 9y cousin how to play chess and I found it quite challenging to purposely play educational moves that are 500 elo but still kinda makes sense

1500s are beginner level??? Okay. I'm leaving chess.

As someone currently buying chess books, I'm surprised at the don't read books answer. For example, Bobby Fischer's book was understandable and educational and straightforward for beginners. I'm below 1,000, and I only got 8 problems wrong in fischers' book. However, after reading the book, my puzzles went up 200+ points, and my rating is finally going up. It really really teaches you to look at the whole board. It's astounding the wealth of information in chess books. there's always a snippet missing from another.

Thank you so much for the talk about participation trophies, needs to be said as much as possible loved it and couldn't agree more.

One thing that amazes me is how natural it is for Hikaru to make an attacking move to elicit a particular response from his opponent. I guess that is a big part of the game, but it is just so easy for him. Like to attack the rook so that it moves and block the knight. I just don’t ever think I can get an opponent to move. I think that this will be my lesson from this video. I will try to do this more starting now!

That backhanded comment against Hans Neimman was so out of the blue. Instant like on this video for that XD

Hikaru : I have an extra pawn the game’s over let’s trade everything. Me : Blunders queen in one move

Who knew watching a KZfaq video could be so humbling even while this man is distracted 75% of the time

I learned a lot through these games I hope he does more of these

Love you Hikaru . Been waiting for this tutorial to come out❤

25:21 This aged extremely well

Need more from professor Nakamura

hikaru is so down to earth with his thoughts about world situations is so refreshing

Very instructive !

In my opinion these teachable' s are your best content- keep 'm coming.

Hikaru.....I think from the Vishy told during the interview was mainly regarding the mental status and approach of yours towards chess now ... which made a huge impact when u becomes a streamer and suddenly u didn't care about all that leads to him saying that like himself (Vishy) and Hikaru is now suddenly doing so well when you are no more affected by the stress and taking the games in a chill way!!!!!

boxing girl with an eval bar. Great idea !!

Yeah sir ❤ I’m on time for lectures

this shit is so brutal. chess is unforgiving.

I always wondered how drunk Hikaru would have to be in order for me to have a chance. 😂

25:13 aged very well

2000 rated oppo must be really confused seeing 500 playing like 3200

I want to play Tennis with Hikaru!

Sir you are such a genius streamer... Chess explained simply but meaningful

Aprendo mucho maestro Hikaru, pero si entendiera inglés aprenderia mucho más 😼🔥

"lose his pokimane or get check mated" that was hilarious 🤣

Wow That caro kahn game is textbook stuff. Black queen was so stupid in the other side of the board and cant get back into the game

Good stuff

"I mean do you really expect Magnus struggling vs 2500s? Cmon" - this aged well

the dragon needs slaying !

Hikaru is best chess youtuber❤❤

I'm like imagining what his opponent thinking why his opponent taking way to long and then in the other side of the screen is hikaru talking to his chats

perfect thumbnail

You said in the chess openings for beginners tier list video that accelerated dragon was in 'really bro?, but 'one of the best setups for a beginner' here.

9:26 Is this the Kremnik's vilian originstory of this recent Hikaru cheating drama😂😅?

Hikaru ravy Shankar died years ago👏👏, and he is playing his sitar in heavens for all the gods

1:41 "Which is why you have to be very careful if your opponent ever fianCHEETOS the bishop"

I try to learn something with these videos. I learned the Bishops move to make a fossil

Pov hikaru: takes takes then takes and checkmate discovered check

The burn on Hans.

Lol that laugh when guy thought US players got 500k for winning olympiad

Is there a way to play Hikaru on these runs? If so, how can i join and hopefully get to play a game🙂🙂

When are you planning to release your book.?

57:16 Magnus vs Ravi Shankar :))

him making fun of winning 5 thousand dollars is such a humble thing to do...

Gotcha I'm a beginner and I learned alot so I flip a coin head for major and tails for minor, I have a bag of shuffle major pieces, every time I go across I fill the square with a major or minor piece on the back rank being pawns if tails or a random placement of majors if heads up till 8 of whatever is used up 1st, then the remainder goes as is in the front row. Then I pull out a mirror and eye up that both sides match in their respective colors, then we sit at our color, and I flip the coin Heads is Me as White, and Tails is the Opponent is White, there is only 1 chair for white and both players standing also and when the coin flip is going music is playing then when the music stops both players play musical chairs, if the person who was flipped for white gets the chair then they officially play as white and get a fancy nice chair, but if the other player steals the chair. The board flips around and the Black player is seated but the White player stands and has twice the time on the clock. Then each player makes a pawn or knight move and then another pawn or knight move then each remove a pawn on the back rank of their choice from their opponent and replace it with a pocket knight in hand and call it "Dragon's Knight' they each roll a 20 sided die and whatever number it lands on is how many times pieces need to capture it to fully properly capture it otherwise it galops to your hand... gotcha I learned alot from this video indeed.

very useful for me

Hikaru i know you named the books name, but what would be the Best books to get better and learn as 1000 chess player

53:12 Kg6 threat rh8 , bishop takes Kg5. No?

There was a guy in the field named “Hikaruistrashh”🤔Modcheck!

"6 is greater than 5, atleast with the math I grew up with...." Privileged to have grown up with the same Math as that of Hikaru...

You should do endorsements like the famous tightend Rob Gronkowski

4:51

Hikaru could make a book “A Streamer’s Guide to Dominating in Chess” Ch.5 Wooden Shield Ch.7 Sun Ray

Lol, the common core comment. Great stuff.

"It's Magnus Carlson we're talking about here not Hans Neimann" ~ GM Hikaru Nakamura

Hikaru is not only a GM, but a GM at disguising his real height. It's impressive.

3:45 Hikaru missed mat in one, no way, how, its almost as if Kramnik was correct, just joshing fair mistake probably

Anyone know the track at about ~30 min mark??

Lol on " common theme among beginners" I'm not a beginner I'm just permanently weak and frequently look like a beginner

About the compensation winning the world championship, sell your victory for a Merc, piece of land or a bunch of money. Just blunder your position where you could mate the opponent.

Hikaru Nishikori :D

Hikaru's gonna write a book?

Its amazing to watch a world champion playing while talking like its nothing ......imagine the other dude thinking like : - -hahaha he's taking so long to play , guess i got it 😂😂😂 . Wtf he even gave me his queen , this dude is over . -(hikaru): yeah what? Well you know society blablabla , well lets wait a little so i can talk to you guys and then end him quickly as easy as drinking my water

("my gold Metal... is not in this house") at around 13 min. How many houses have you got?

What is the right triangle he talk about?

@GMHikaru, Macska is a Hungarian word for Cat :)

20:15 song name?

25:22

25.23 that didn't age well😂😂😂😢😅

I play the hyperaccelerated dragon 😎

The table tennis paddle would break from the force of a tennis ball, so no you can't play tennis with a tennis table paddle :)

YAY I GOT IN THE VIDEO!!!!

5k for winning Olympic gold is just ridiculous in modern money values

...Kappablanket. 🤣🤣🤣

I usually watch people with higher ratings, this level the players are no good.

Someone noticed that hikaru had a big glass of water that mean he drinking water like mosnster by the way please drink water daily

That didn’t feel like an hour long video at all! Loving this kind of chill streams where we can learn chess and talk about sports, current events. And bless you 54:38

top 400 in tennis make a living but what about top chess players? top 20 or 50? probably even worse than tennis

thumbnails always fire

More pineapples on shirt

❤

I seen a few moves that seemed better so I put in stockfish and it agrees. Nd4! is even better then Bxh3. Example Nd4. Qe4, Bxh3. Kh2 Bf5. Qe3, Qh5+. Kg1 and Ne2+ wins the Q. But even as in game Bxh3 threatening mate. You played Qf3. ( F4 slightly better. But anyways Qf3 then you chose Bd7 but again why not Nd4 as the same theme works in all variations and Nd4 is the strongest move, example after Qf3 Nd4!! eval -8.79 not Bd7 eval -7.10 so then Qxh3 Ne2+ Kh2, Qe5+ g3 followed By QxR and Black is up a Rook and a Horse and GG follows. Correcrt?

That’s disgusting how little you were compensated for winning the Olympiad

0:11 if I remember correctly hater smh

Inflation 18000 percent in Iran? you confused Venezuela with Iran.

SKILLED APE 69!!!!

I just want to say that the US chess players have better an access to super computers. One of the reasons Armenia lost Aronyan. There were also political issues and problems with funding as far as I heard. But that is a support that should be noted. Or am I getting this stuff completely wrong?

i hate it when you're playing against the player named Macskaj04 cause whenever he's in losing position he always offers a draw and not resigned it's annoying asf. Shame on youuuu Macskaj04 have some dignity .

Why now bro

i like the political conversations

Yoooo hello
