For me it would be a draw of insufficient intelligence

"That was the hardest win in the book" just does it ever so casually, easier than walking down stairs to him.

wow, leaving the pawn on the board to avoid stalemate is absolutely brilliant.

That was insane.

Bro the way he moves the kights around the king make it seem like he's water bending

Hardest theoretical win in the book and Hikaru breezes through it in a blitz match

"That was the hardest win in the book" just does it ever so casually

If u take the pawn it will be a draw thats why he didn’t took it

I like how the opponent played the Caro-Kann at the end.

Deez knights…

Hikaru thinks he is Hikaru

The opponent walking voluntarily to the corner 💀

knight vs rook pawn endings is one of the hardest endings to win. the key is to paralyze the king in the corner, forcing your opponent's pawn in front of the king, allowing you to deliver the KO punch.

Wow hikaru is a nightmare after he won the game he playd two nights attack against caro can

Amazing check

“Mating with two knights”? That would be too much nakamura, innit?

two knights vs a king and a pawn... mate is possible, but two knights vs a king and no pawns is most likely stalemate.

Nobody realized that Nf4 was a blunder in that situaltion...

amazing didnt believe it was possible 👍

That was a draw when he rotated the knights, push pawn=draw

But what if instead of Ka1 white plays Kc1

Very nice mate, but it seems sorta like the opponent played into it a little

Instructions unclear

Hikaru go bbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

This shouldn't be possible but for Hikaru it's nothing 😅

Just finished a game where if my opponent doesn't resign, I would have to win with 2 knights. Good thing he resign tho bcos we would be in it for long time😂 But hey, now I'm looking up on ways to win in that circumstance

You can mate with 2 knights??whaaaaat

I would timeout trying to mate

Simplemente increíble

The two knights vs pawn ending isn't necessarily winning with best play. It's either a win or a draw depending on how far advanced the pawn is. In fact, the b-pawn in the video is sufficiently advanced (three squares from promoting) for the position to be a theoretical draw. Hikaru's opponent lost the game when he let his king get trapped in the corner. When the position is drawable, the basic technique is: Stay away from the corners. If you get pushed to the edge of the board, at least pick a square two or preferably three squares from the nearest corner. When the king and the mobile knight have pushed your king back as far as possible, the knight blockading the pawn will join in. At this point, push your pawn as fast as possible. Now, no doubt the clock was a big factor for Hikaru's opponent. I'd imagine he had only a few seconds left and was trying to premove on every move.

You actually can’t force a checkmate with two knights your opponent has to blunder.

Wow awesome 😮

Grandmaster.

normally its impossible to mate with 2 knights like that if the opponent doesnt blunder

Nice ❤

If white wouldnt waste a possible pawn move by moving the king, I think white couldve take on b6 and draw the game

The title is sus😳

And they said checkmating with 2knights was impossible

This is quite funny because white could've gotten a draw very easily by stalling out his clock due to insufficient material even though there's a forced mate.

Bishop knight is harder

Mhooo sheesh 😅
