The opening he uses is the Colle system, which is his signature opening. He can't play his usual openings for identity reasons. Also, his identity was at stake in the Karpov's match. So I bet that influenced his playstyle, and that is why he went for the flag in a completely lost position. Rey Enigma does a lot for chess here in Spain, and I am glad he is getting some recognition now. Thank you Hikaru for making this video :)

Rey Enigma is: A mysterious guy, nobody knows who he is, he goes to Madrid and gives a lot of money to anyone who can beat him, he never lost in the city, defeated the spanish female national champ, wins tournaments like it's nothing, super funny and charismatic. Spain Got Talent: he bet his idenity to that judge playing blinded, randomly was kind of good. The guy started just some months ago this journey and he has accomplished a lot. I've never seen someone raising that fast in socialmedia. But we know one think 'bout him, he had and important job at marketing.

Thing to take in count: a) Rey Enigma uses the Colle system as part of his disguise. He used to think that Colle System was slow and only useful in low elo level, but when created his alter ego, rey enigma started to use the colle system as a signature. b) Because of that and the fact that he prepared the match against a 2300, he didn't prepare anything against karpov. Probably that's the reason cos he sticked to his colle system anyway, despite Karpov is the positional master.

I see the constant (over)use of the Colle as having many purposes. Enigma gets to bank time in the opening which is what ended up saving him against Karpov. He also gets to obfuscate his actual strength, as shown against Hikaru. It also allows Enigma to help hide his identity as the "real" player would be less rigid .

I went to read the comments in the original video, wondering, hoping that the non chess audience liked it, and wow, the viewers are really into it. "It was a historic moment..." "Watching this was an epic moment in my life, this was the best moment of Spain's Got talent and maybe even the world..." "I ate my nails..." And "OMG OMG OMG OMG ANATOLYYYY WOW." And the judges too. The beautiful woman said that she thinks it was one of the most emotional moments that she's lived in all these years (on the show). It's cool. The guy that was originally going to play took out a chess book that he used study on the train when he was 13 back in 87. I guess these shows are all about selling the acts and the public really get into things and reflect it.

You can tell hikaru really wasnt happy with his position in the second game after going for the bishop and queen trade just to give him more chances of an endgame squeeze lmao
@TheGrandmaster1 2 жыл бұрын
I thought he was kind of all for show, but when he drew with Karpov after essentially fighting him even and would have won on time, I came to realize that no, he has to be a Grandmaster. He's some Grandmaster out there. Has to be.
@mytwinkiepie Жыл бұрын
he drew because of time in dead lost position
@minephlip Жыл бұрын
nope, just good at blitz. Being a grandmaster would mean he'd be good at classical chess too, which he probably is not GM level at. In the video where he plays against Gothamchess you can tell Levy as an IM has much more insight in the game and is more aware of what's going on / what moves and tactics are available. But then Engigma holds his own because he's quick, good at blitz and talented at chess and turning around positions. But for sure not GM level and I think also not an IM

The concept here that if Ray loses he have to reveal his face so he needs a draw or win and obviously as it’s been implied he didn’t know that he’s playing Karpov in until it was revealed on the stage

Hikaru explained why he thinks he is not a gm, it is not because of the opening. His performance wasn't that good, he would have lost against karpov, but karpov is kinda getting old, known for losing on time.

I understood that when the person who created Rey Enigma, he had to choose one specific aperture to always use, that way people won’t have a clue of who he is, by using only one aperture u won’t correlate it to someone in specific
@lawtrox 2 жыл бұрын
Pd: in every performance he made he was risking revealing his identity, even with Karpov but he didn’t know he was going to play Karpov

Aperture refers to a hole. A chess opening is always called just an opening.

Te das cuenta que Hikaru es GM cuando pausa el video en 16:20 y dice en vivo "oh mi dios, torre f3 gana las partida para las blancas". El ángulo de la camara, la música, y el ambiente no ayudaban para nada pero el tipo se da cuenta igual jaja

He used the Colle system in all his matches because he's trying to hide his opening repertoire in order to keep anonymous, not because he is under certain level.

32:15 exactly! Seeing the Karpov's entrance on /r/AnarchyChess, little modified (the boss HP bar and Dark Souls overlay appeared, when Karpov entered the stage :D), I was genuinely thinking that it's probably some edit and Karpov was just pasted from some other scene. So good to find out that he was the real Karpov!! 🙂

Yea get fooled then, Hikaru is definetly a self orientated centrist, with narcissistic traits, which he prooved several times. He can only appear as "gentle" when is in a superior position but ok.
