I just gotta say, I love watching you play chess. I really feel like I learn so much just from seeing it. Love your commentary also, so informative. I love catching your steams, definitely one of my favorites. Please continue the content. I really feel that learning chess has helped me in a lot of ways

Dude is legit a God. I feel so appreciative to be alive to see him play so frequently

3:08:52 Maurice actually in awe of Hikaru going on a 12.5-.5 run. hIlarious.

Kudos for adding a camera. Important for online chess and a nice way to set a standard.

Congratulations from Russia, american samurai

When GMHikaru plays, I was like widening my eyes to the best and watching board for 3-5 mins and have no clue what he says.... but everything makes sense when he wins.... thats happiness.... infact I am more tired than Hikaru after watching for 10 mins... :-)

39:45 look at that checkmate instinct, he checkmates faster than calling it out lol

The title implies Hikaru has made an enemy out of Russia *angry Levy noises*

2:26:10 Apparently garbage opening speed run experience is useful

My life goal is to be a master. Hikaru ran around his computer and knew what the grandmaster did before he did it 🤯

Camera had more wins against hikaru than russian players.

Hikaru- “if he takes, I take, then he takes and then I take the juicer” *proceeds to bob his head to music*

Darn that second game against Fedoseev was so intense. Heart in my mouth towards the end.

35:04 Knights on the centre of the board. Nice!

Take a shot everytime hikaru says “that’s logical”game

Very impressive tournament Hikaru, thanks for posting! I'm curious - could 'looking on the chat window' be considered 'getting outside help' at all? I know the matches are going by very quickly, but it seems like having this could possibly be considered an advantage. We all saw what happened with Petrosian last week.. and obviously this is VERY different, but I'm curious what would happen if some people in the chat started offering help.

sony cameras overheat when you use 4K and also charge the cam while using it as the same time you can fix this by not using a battery inside the case with something like a external battery also if you have a flip screen extend it away from the camera body if none of these are a option using 1080p will also fix the overheating issue this applies to almost every A7xIII variation

I’ve never seen him so tired at the start.

I can imagine the PogO spam during that final interview lol

Phew.. finally completed watching the whole video.

He forgot the camera for his ceiling

I think I'm starting to understand Hikaru's play. A lot of the middle game is improving piece placement unless there is an obvious trick. Positional play with Tactical awareness. Pawn structure seems to be whatever restricts opponent's activity. So there is some prophylaxes with his play as well but well hidden. Players feel the pressure before they understand the why behind it.

one of the best chess player in history

Hikaru smashed carlsen during a high pressure speed chess final match whilst whistling, head bobbing and singing terribly. 0 calculation yet absolutely smashed Carlsen. Here, he's an NFL player paired against a collegiate athlete, struggling to grasp the situation, focused entirely, no singing, no dancing. Kramnik, I think, can log all these peculiarities into his upcoming Hikarus Hijinx: The Only GM Who's Base Chess Prowess Skyrocketed Since the North of Online Chess

I cannot even imagine how much precision focus it takes to pull off that endgame battle with Artemiev for the second match.

I love watching Hikaru trying to stay awake.

TSM and Hikaru Nakamura what a combination.....Keep winning bro, great job!

Beating his opponents even when multitasking.. this fellow is MJ of chess

dear nakatwomoves, thanks for all the movepair visuals for learning jdp

Nice dual webcams, and depth of field there GMHikaru.

been watching naka few years now, despite all the content, this is my fav video of his.

Hikaru lookin like he smashed 4 redbulls right before these games

What a lucky fan who sit next to GM seeing him playing Chess. He must have a shirt full of his idol sign

*Hikaru play 1st move e4* Also Hikaru: Its just game over

Hikaru got the biggest fish in town

Hey editor do you think theres any way to get an evaluation bar in the video when hikaru is playing?

New camera angle is very very good 👍

9:42 that was really nice. I didnt see that draw. Now i look closely it looks simple.

Bravo great stream and win!

Hikaru: "This is probably just losing for me, knowing my luck in this game…" also Hikaru: "I'm so lucky! I'm so lucky! Oh I'm so lucky! Oh my god I just got so lucky"

You could set a mirror behind you instead of the second camera

1:07:50 Idk why, if this is a tournament in which he's playing to win, he doesn't like try to exhaust his opponent's clock by making quicker moves. It didn't need to be a draw, and even though he doesn't need to win hardly anything to make the cut, it's a little weird that he essentially ceded a game to his opponent when the game is timed -- the dude had like a minute left, and even if he got time back it wouldn't be enough.
