Props to the other guy for being able to keep pace with Nakamura most of the game it was all the way through.

I am so impressed by the way Hikaru doesn't throw a hissy fit about the pieces getting knocked over at the end. That shows great class that he wants his visit to be an enjoyable experience for everyone and can put aside his ultra competitive world class GM hat and just have a good time with a great young talent like Robert and all the spectactors without taking things overly seriously.

This was super crazy and I agree, the accuracy by Hikaru and Robert was insane! They were neck and neck the whole game, nobody had a big advantage. Only advantage I saw was 1.6 with Hikaru.

Well played gentlemen! Stellar game.

6:49 Rg8 is not the threat in that position, Rc7 is the threat. After Rg8 black can escape with Kd7.

Inhuman speed with extreme accuracy. That is the bullet demon and king of blitz "Hikaru Nakamura "❤

Never seen a stronger challange for Hikaru since Robert showed up and gave us this superior game well done Robert 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Robert 🎣 er haha. Great game! I love how Hikaru gives severe time odds to every player. Dude it 🔥.

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.

White plays Rg8+ only if black plays Rd7. Any other move and Rc7+ is mate.

And to maintain rock solid focus even under what sounded like a Viking attack.

That was nuts!! Good game

Him having only 1 minute is a huge factor, i believe he would have seen the mate with more time, great game regardless

Awesome game.

That music is so dank when it comes in.

Fun to watch and lots to learn from these 2 great players. They move so fast it's hard at times to see what they see or what they don't see like Kb3 with unavoidable mate. Robert moved his rook behind the K-side pawns in the endgame and Hikaru immediately liquidated them. This also proves we don't need that constant blather that just takes away from good chess.

Great game gentlemen!!!!

The young dude at the end, after 06:05, he was moving his peices while hikaru was still playing. By the time hikaru moved his hand to pass the time, the kid was already waiting and instantly passing the time to hikaru. Not sure if this is legal but don't think its ok to play during your oponents turn.

Who started playing drums and blowing that horn at the end of their game?

"Ahhhhgh whatever" --Nakamura

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.

Hikaru is just a beast

I’ll always watch a hikaru game but chess is just such a interesting game such as 5:34 His king is surrounded at a glance it’s GG but nah just part of the plays 😅😅

I can't believe that, 1 minute can do that.

Tekken King: Only the 2 KINGS at the end huh? 😁

This is why I don't like playing without an increment over the board. I don't know why street players insist on playing without an increment. I guess it feels hardcore or whatever. The time scrambles at the end are always absurd. The pieces always get knocked over. At least make it a rule that if a piece is out of place when pressing the clock then it's a loss. Consider it an illegal move. Also the opponent shouldn't be able to start touching pieces until his clock is running.

your timer is also his timer. it looks like a handicap, but in practice, he knows what you're doing and while you decide moves, he's already thought of them, but on your time

I'm not really understanding the missed checkmate. When you say white rook to g8, what is stopping black king to d7?

Remember, only 1min for Nakamura vs 5

Are these Time Odds games? Also, is there increment?

dude needed to resign instead of looking for a draw with 4 more min

Nice game 🙌 But I hope Robert won’t drop hikaru pieces next time Chess can’t be played like that 😂

Robert has such sinister looking eyes 👀

Girl with the hat has a beautiful smile

at 6:07 neither time on their clocks moved, even though hikaru supposedly pressed it.
