Great game! Robert's 17! Someone needs to check his growth rings, lol. He looks closer to 27. 👍
Chess is mainstream again, mission complete
My God Robert! You're just AWESOME!
The game was juicy
If he is 17 then so is hikaru
Dang! Just astonishing! Hope to see a rematch.
Robert is tough but he needs to reduce his time to 4 min then 3 min to….. Even the champ can lose to skimpy clothes if you play 100 games and only have 30 seconds against five minutes.
Very good by Robert.
must be frustrating to believe that you are fast and good but then realize that you can't even think 1/5 as fast to hikaru and lose. when you knock over pieces and don't set them back up before you punch your clock, yer not playing chess. you lose.
This proves Robert has it in him to travel far. Good Luck and well played!
Awesome game.
Where is one more game?
ok so …..was this game a draw or did one of them win?
effing nuts!!!! i love this!!!!!! thank you for doing this for us!!!! thanks.
The last 3'' is how i play chess with my kid
👋
FIGHT ON
I think that this is the first time in almost 30 years of playing that I have ever seen the board reduced to kings!
i thougt when you touch a piece you have to move it? is that wrong?
Why did he promote to a rook
That ending had me jumping in excitement watching their minds rapidly race against the clock while correcting the falling pieces
This guy was putting up a ridiculous fight at 300pts lower rated! Nice speed chess and fast reading. However, we know Hikaru would hand him his ass in slow chess. These blitz and rapid formats are nice to display quick thinking. That's what I like about the variety.
Where do y'all play?
Robert is good but Hikaru is the Ultimate Gigachad
I love that drums song at the end of the game, what song it is?
I can't believe that, 1 minute can do that.
Without premoves it’s impossible to beat a solid im plus with only 1 minute. You can see some choices he is making are forcing lines.
This is the most intense game of chess I've seen
He could have moved the bishop it wasn’t mate
I disliked the music. Not sure what was up with that.
I'm not really understanding the missed checkmate. When you say white rook to g8, what is stopping black king to d7?
The situation presented at 6:47 is not check mate. Both players have about 10 sec left. The Black king is no longer trapped as soon as the White Rook moves to g8. The black king is than free to move to d7. Also, Black could have moved the bishop from e2 to c4, to stop the Rook moving to g8. As a delay action.
One month on youtube, 174k views, from what i saw in the comments, only 2 other people noticed the game was not guaranteed to end in checkmate, and only 1 thumbs up between the 2.
I love this high level chess….but as a coffee chess fan…..I mis Tex and Sue
Please show the board from the side of the really good player, not this "i have 5 times the amount of time" wannabe
Tournament of power
Love Robert's facial expression at the end when everyone chants out to have another game. 😂
at 6:07 neither time on their clocks moved, even though hikaru supposedly pressed it.
wow! what a game! 😅
The #1 player in USA vs. the 79th best player in USA – kool
nice
17 years old? Maybe 10 years ago 😉
brilliant focus to get the draw by robert well done
