It really is a shame Magnus is not playing. It just doesn't feel good enough to have the current world champ not playing. Imagine Ian winning it this year and when asked "which world champ did you beat the year you became a champ ?" he goes like "ehhh.."
goood stuuuufffff
Is it possible on these recap videos that you show every move first without analysing and showing alternative moves. Would be good to see all the moves concurrently and then your full analysis etc.
When was the last time a world chess championship didnt start with a draw?
Dude you look 20 years younger all of a sudden
I’m by no means an expert on chess history, but wasn’t the exchange variation of the Ruy Lopez for white a favorite of Fischer?
hikaru looks like a baby (no offence)
People commenting more about hikaru beeing fast than about the game. Seems the Fangirs took over Chess 😀
Yesterday, I saw the photo where Hikaru resigned to Ding in the Candidates. But it doesn't matter Hikaru still makes the recap if he is in World Championship!
Your recaps are rolling off the tongue very naturally now! Very nice!
you make me wet hikaru
NEWSFLASH: HIKARU CONFESSES THAT HE IS A PROFESSIONAL CHESS COMPETITOR! See 22:10, where he says "… looking at this from a human perspective, playing as a professional competitor, I do like Nepo's chances …"
Magnus is not playing, errr we knew this several months ago. Is this a disrespect to Ding and Nepo to be pointed out again in this video. I dont like the click baity dialogue used in the beginning. Rest of analysis Hiraku as usual is amazing!.
i just farted so hard, it cured a bellyache i had all day
10/10 felt super welcomed back
20:13 You forgot to explain why F5 isn't a strong move
GM speaking perfect spanish 🔥🔥
I did a video analysis as well, typical first game for something of this magnitude, unless your name is Magnus Carlsen 🙂
Why does Hikaru suddenly look 10 years younger? Is it the lack of a beard?
Who cares? I know I don't.
Ian Nepo vs Ding Liren… Where is Hikaru? 🤔
At home.
does hikaru participate in the world chess championship?
Fuck me this presentation style is hard to follow. Anyone recommend any other channel to get the game run down?
The time this man puts in…so much respect
Can anyone tell me why you don't just take the white bishop as black at 20:44?
are u playing this world chess championship?
that fake intro 😄😄
Hikaru counting in Spanish 🌟♟️📈📈📈📈
Wait, is this Magnus’s way of trying to make it to 3000 rating? If his opponents increase their rating, then when he comes back his rating goes up a bit higher or no?
That fake smile grimace at the beginning I cant lmao
what the heck is the kebap xD hikaru needs to explain it (please)
You look weird without beards
Lol. They dont display the Russian flag. Is chess so sensitive that they think we dont know Ian is Russian? So dumb
sadly no one cares about it. Not at all the fault of Ding/Nepo though.
Thanks for the commentary. I said this before: Hikaru is much better commenting other player's games. He takes his time to explain lines and more basic concepts. Well done!
I want to add at 6:06 that, after h3, the Bxh3 variation is probably the craziest: Not gxh3 (losing) but Rd1 Qg4 Bg3 Bg5 f4 Bg4 Nf5, absolutely crazy and I have no idea what is happening (only Stockfish does).
man this is the downside of classical… both players were away from the table most of the time that i fell asleep midway 😅
Thanks for the recap Hikaru.
Why isn’t hikaru playing classical chess ?
Hikaru reacting knowing he should be in this championship
Copium faces have been detected.
A recap from an actual Top 5 player is awesome.
There's always a difference when an actual GM does the recap vs Other Players (some of whom mostly read lines from the engine).
Nice
whats up with your expressions?!
I think Nepo lost an opportunity to win a game, I think he'll need it in the future 😀😀
Not putting the Russian flag is cruel
Hikaru should play in this WCC match instead of Ding. But I believe Hikaru will be stronger and get into candidates again
it's so satisfying when hikaru counts the pawns in chinese or spanish.
thanks for the recap
A FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THE CHESS POWERS ALLOWED DING TO PLAY IN THE CANDIDATES BY ALLOWING HIS "HOME" (FIXED) 3 MONTH BEFORE PLAYING SCHEDULE TO GET ENOUGH GAMES TO MEET THEIR REQUIREMENTS… VERY "SUSPECT" GOINGS ON TO ME!
CHINA SHOULD HAVE BEEN SANCTIONED FOR CREATING/CAUSING THE WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC AND THEIR POSSIBLE CANDIDATES SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED!
CHINA "IS" THE EVIL EMPIRE AND WHY NATIONS ACQUIESCE TO THEM IS IRRITATING!
C'MON NEPO!
