    god:you have had many sins in your life but i shall provide you one last chance to reach heaven
    me:what is it it?
    god:you must answer a question
    me:ok,go ahead
    god:what is the smoothest substance in the world?
    me:hikarus face?
    god:you may pass.

    Why aren’t you participating in this world chess tournament?

    Unless you're a chess nerd your videos are just not that entertaining. That's the reason why you didn't get streamer of the year and what you said about Botez and Levy is manchild behavior 😊

    Bruh, I died when Naka started counting the pawns in Spanish. 😅

    I watched it live. Lots of shots of two empty chairs. Game was good tho…

    And this is how you premove a recap kids.

    Hikaru should’ve definitely been there, we need a WC match with a bongcloud win.

    Most boring event in the history of chess (perhaps in the history of events).

    Last week I saw a swarm of ants attacking a beetle, and it was 10x more entertaining.

    Hikaru, you’re a legend! Your analysis is fire. You teach me so much. You make chess lit. Thanks for being awesome! 🔥🔥🔥

    Whoever wins won’t be a true world champion with Magnus around and I feel like even if Magnus don’t go for the title again it’s very likely for them to not keep hold of the title the next time around either

    Really needs to work on his Spanish pronounciation. "Raul" sounded like a howling wolf.

    I'm starting to believe that the Hikaru-Carlsen rivalry has gotten a little more intense recently. I mean, the mouseslip a few days ago.. he celebrated it wildly although it was just an unfortunate accident.

    For some reason Hikaru reminds me of a elementary school teacher.

    Hikaru literally premoved the recap before game was even over 😁😂

    Hikaru without his beard is a massive downgrade

    I wonder whether Hikaru enjoys–not prefers, but enjoys–commenting and creating content about the world championship match more, maybe, than actually playing it himself. If he played, he'd have to take lots of time off of streaming, do months of prep, and would miss his chance to produce all of this unique content. And, since the match would not be against Magnus, a lot of its interest and significance is lost. I guess, if forced to make a choice, he would choose to play, but I'll bet he'd have mixed feelings. But, since he lost that last game against Ding, we won't get to find out for sure.

    I would collect how Hikaru pronounses "Nepomniyachii" )))

    Hikaru was already making a recap while Nepo and Ding were playing drawn endgame for like an hour

    To the people who are comparing hikaru to levy…shame on u!

    Why can I imagine Hikaru in the Final Match wearing this shirt? 😂😂😂

    I dont understand Hikaru
    Have you actually retired from professional chess ? Because you played on the candidates right ?
    Amazing video btw as usual 🤍

    if you just draw against ding you would play today for the title..
    you obviously didn't care…

    Parham would have won in Nepo's position

    I like hikaru but that "welcome back" has to be the most annoying thing about him . not as annoying as gothamchess though

    just imagine hiraru could win the WCC, it's just life..

    With respect, if we can't expect a world champion to find Rad8 h3 Qxd4 Nd5 then what makes him a world champion?
    Seriously.
    I can think of many brilliant games where top players have found and played far more complicated combos involving ten times more moves.
    For Yan to miss that and then to again miss Bc7 later on just really made me feel like I'm NOT watching the best players in the world.
    To my mind, whoever wins, will become the most undeserving/weak world champion since Euwe.

    Two dull dudes play a dull opening, resulting in a draw. Shocking

    really bummed that magnus decided not to defend his title. magnus would have annihilated either one of them, this doesnt feel right

    So unused seeing you without a beard. But still looks good!
    Also nice recap! 👍🏻

    If I didn’t know who English speaking people mean by NepomniAchi, I would never guess. NepOmnYASHIY (emphasis on o) is much closer to actual Russian pronunciation
    Wish both great luck, but of course hope Ian finally wins

    Next world chess championship: hikaru vs nakamura

    Shoutout to ERjungle49(elo 2496 lichess) and Samy1975 (elo 2324 lichess) who played this exact opening up to 11.Qe3. Sammy then played the fish-approved Ne6, and went in to win the game. 🙏👍🏽👏

    love Hikaru but damn these intros are soo corny lol

    So, Hikaru beats Magnus in last championship but isn't at world championship? 😂?
