I love to hear GM's talk about chess the way they talk about is damn near surgical

I have just recently gotten into chess and the more and more I watch I can’t help but to appreciate the craft. I mean the commentary behind how he’s gonna strategize the other players move is so useful, I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve been in his opponents shoes and now watching him combat that gives me so much knowledge:)

From bottom of my heart I thank you Hikaru for bringing this content here, this is so helpful and we appreciate you.

Thank you for that. I have been struggling with the Bishop g5 and it is very simple to solve. Fantastic tips on development and strategies on attacking.

These are truly educational. I'm learning so much as a 1500 ish.

Thankyou so much hikaru for these type of videos as a 800 player this really enlightens men, good entertainment and educated me thankyou for being great as always :)

"Well ! if he's gonna hang the pawn, I'll just take." lol

Drawing against hikaru is definitely an accomplishment.

At that final freeze frame with the 80s style pop music playing, I was half expecting to see a text box explaining to me what Hikaru did after the events of this video.

Thank you for this content. I just started playing chess and you’re definitely fueling my obsession!

Yesterday i was struggling against 600 person. After watching two educational videos of prof H, I just mated a 800elo within 15moves without any difficulty . These vids are amazing.

That player played 96 percent accuracy ONLY against Hikaru on THAT particular game, all his other accuracy across the board are way lower. Not to mention that account was only weeks old and hasn't been played on again for over a month. Seems like a surf to me... and what's the point, Hikaru was playing unrated to help teach others. Not like you can ever even brag to your peers if no one knows its you. No one like that will bring up their account name knowing others will accuse it of being suspicious.

Keep these vids coming.

We need more videos like theezzzz

I think it's incredibly profound and a testimony to Hikarus chess knowledge that he can teach younger and more inexperienced chess players "themes" and "ideas" rather than being like 99% of every chess teacher I have had who just drones on about theory and positions.

Forcibly mating 500s? “That’s assault, brotha!”

WOW!!! I learned more from this video Hikaru than you can imagine ❤

i wanna take up chess again as a hobby from watching GM Hikaru's streams because the information i ingest is amazing. I've played with my brothers and father from a while back and i was bad. But im afraid to play because i feel like i'd still be bad at it despite watchin the streams, and i dont wanna disappoint GM Hikaru because He's such a great educator. 😂

You will be bad. Just get over it and play. When I got interested in chess I threw myself into OTB (slow) tournaments right away. Lost something like 37 games out of 50 in the first couple months.

'Forcibly mating' is an amusing turn of phrase.

Hey Hikaru. I am stuck at 1000 rating and i thought this was very instructional. Thank you!

since watching your chess insight videos it feels like i am playing a new game

These are amazing!!

"Forcibly Mating" had me worried at first.

"And drawing a 1900"

Forcibly Mating with 500s For Educational Purposes is even better

Imagine the elation on that 2k elo player that managed to force a draw!

im sure there are many more educational videos from hikaru, however this is the first one i have seen, i usually watch gotham chess to learn as i am new to chess. i just wanted to say really enjoyed this video, great content. please make many more. thank you.

hikaru i saw ur kick channel promoted on the f1 race the other week, along with xqc and another streamer who i forgot. pretty cool

amazing, thank you

Dude as someone that loves chess but sucks I think these videos are awesome. The hardest part of chess for me is knowing when to exchange and when it makes sense.

Thanks for the great video! I have a few questions: 1) What other books have you read/studied? (Except the ones you mentioned, "Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess"). 2) What other lists of books do you recommend to beginner/intermediate/advanced chess players about Opening/Mid-game/End-game?
