    I now feel like some sort of weird voyeur into the chess community. I've played with friends over my life, I know the rules and the fact that openings exist but not much else.. and yet the past few years I've consumed so much chess media it's crazy. I treat it like some sort of real life anime: Hikaru, the arrogant yet likeable natural born talent that has suddenly-relatable ups and downs; Magnus, the godlike, nigh-unbeatable, overpowered machine with eidetic memory; Ian Nepomniachtchi. the charismatic and flamboyant swordsman, unpredictable and aggressive, a showman at heart… etc. There's something to the sport

    Hikaru moving his pieces before opponent have tapped the clock

    Hardly any GM over 2700 can beat GM Hikaru in a Blitz game. This was a good shot, using the clock wisely.

    "He who does not hope to win has already lost"

    Hikaru wins because I taught him to always push pawns.

    Hikaru moved about 20 times on his opponents time. He can’t beat this guy 1/5 game.

    I can't really play OTB blitz. I was just looking at the eye to hand coordination near the end, hitting the clock and moving the pieces in one clean move. Hikaru knocks a piece even (which I believe should be a no-no)

    Buddy on the left lost as soon as the timer hit 4 :00. If he were really better then he would have fought under the same rules.

    i c c cccc c c c c c c c ant believe is not butter…

    stop making popping crackling noises in the microphone

    hikaru is moving his pieces during his opponent's time when dan is taping the button, so him moving the pieces doesn't count towards his play time. is that against the rules?

    4:48 wasnt it adeal to take with the knight instead?

    He shouldve pushed c3 at 3:18. This move would have ended the game for ugly hikaru. Hikaru looks like he thinks about cannibalism

    I do wonder how he plays so casually against very high rated players so low on time, with distraction, no prep,… but needing such mental focus when playing each other. Isn't it more a psychological kind of thing?

    @3:11 would it be possible to sac the knight @e4 in order to push the pawn or take the other pawn with extra cover for the pawn

    that 2500 played like a 2000 lmao……took forever and made bad moves…..at the end all his moves did nothing but give up space wtf…..weakest 2500 live player ever

    An FM with 2500 elo? Very doubtful.

    It would’ve been a better video without the bullshit dramatic music.

    i like the playing style of dubov and nakamura, btw im from philippines🙋‍♂🇵🇭
