@@patogordo1385Yeah, so what guys? Predominantly Europeans are critical to the US for not having the metric system. So why doesn’t the whole world? It’s because it doesn’t matter. The US is large enough and influential enough to keep the imperial system alive. We use the metric system for science because this application actually does benefit us. Changing it in general would actually have more negative effects than positive. Not big effects but still negative.

Modern players are stronger so its not too unreasonable. But best is more subjective, and is about eras, having never been world champion or even qualified for WC match, I'd say theres no way he's top 10. He has won US champion multiple times. I'd say top 15 might be a bit generous but its his opinion

Considering that most nowadays super GMs are better than all WCs up to the 70s and considering all kinds of chess is played nowadays he is quite accurate. Considering the only classical OTB chess I will say he is probably more in the top 15-20 all time. In blitz and in bullet is Top 2 All time.

In another video a long time ago, there was a similar question asked and Hikaru said there is kind of a brotherhood comradery with all the top chess players, but nothing more than that. p.s. I'm summarizing; I don't remember his exact wording, but sounds more like competitors than even friends.
that was very cool of Hikaru sharing some detail we all wanted to know
thank you for answering the retired question, my brother and I have been fighting over that and now I win the argument!
Despite Hikaru's success in his career, it's hard to determine who is wealthier between him and his brother Asuka, as Asuka also appears to be doing very well

Dude, Hikaru makes more than Doctors and Lawyers. $200k/yearly is nothing. Hikaru has KZread and Twitch where he easily makes way more than $1MM, not to even mention, tournaments where he sometimes makes over $50k in just a single tournament, i.e. getting 2nd in Qatar Masters

I am pretty sure Hikaru works a lot harder. Look at the amount of time he spends streaming, then think of preparations , maintaining his channel , studying games, reporting evens and news and analysing games...and a lot of what's behind.

Hikaru’s IQ is about 111 because he is always number one.
I want to see him as world champion one day.
3:00 there ain't no Nakamura competitive play footage without him looking at the ceiling
Stunned that he took so long... He could've just said: "nice ok lets go next"
Simply a great person ... and chess player
I wanna see Hikaru in WWE and Shinsuke playing chess.
Good! Now I waiting to see for that same last question to Magnus in the next video!
Loved it! Please do more of these with other players as well!

He played so much blitz that he blitz out his questions.
Is that Shingo Nakamura playing in the background? 🤔 nice
"Something decent at least" I love it. Short kings stand tall
I whish to all guys don't be retired, move forward and Never Give Up☝️

He even blitz in this one.
Thank you, Hikaru and team!
Yes my favourite chess player/chess streamer 😊
I think that to make that ranking, you have to evaluate classics, rapid and blitz. Ding is world champion and, in my opinion, less complete than Naka. I think the same about Kramnik, and other champions. His problem is having run into Magnus. Surely it would be in the top 15.
hikaru being hikaru
Of Course
Am I the only one who was confused when they uploaded the video and took it down later. Now it’s back, I guess.
Well, this interview showed what political science Hikaru would be like
Hikaruuu
WIRED but better.
Hikaru was playing question rush
Of course
Please don't retire
that would be cool, "Hikaru knows we love him?"
This is just what the doctor ordered
Still waiting hand&brain nakamura vs firouzja brothers 😅
Wired: yall will be hearing from my legal team very soon
So Hikarus mom is Scandinavian, Magnus and Hikaru must be related. Maybe they should do DNA test next!
"european standards" dude its the standard of the world 😭
I love hikaru nakamura
Drax: I'll do you one better, why is hikaru nakamura?

Hikaru is like a much more likable and chill Vegeta, and Magnus is like a pompous Goku.

Bro hikaru is the GOAT of blitz🎉
Hikaru part Scandinavian? Related to Magnus, I see
man wired looks different today
Hikaru practically blitzing out everything, i am just worried he doesnt blitzing out his honeymoon
"I did not actually finish" Hikaru sounds like my wife!
Now I see where Hikaru's interest in stock investments is coming from. Big bro was there to mentor :)
don't watch if you're here for the juicy questions
This hikaru guys looks like a great smart person he should try chess
This was very interesting
Bro premoved the questions
This guy seems smart, he should get into checkers
1,65m I would say. I've seen him. Great video!😊
Of course! Why didn't I think of that?
“What can’t Hikaru Nakamura stop saying” “The answer of course is ‘the answer is of course’”
1:45
it checks the staircase
Please, Make same on magnus.
Not a bad video, I like that you took a clip from an original video instead of reposting another short
Hikaru is 5ft7 on his toes!!!!
"top 10-15 in the world" wasn't he 2nd and 3rd to Magnus at several points? I know there are different divisions to factor in, but WELL inside the top 10?
Hope he becomes a world champion before he retires. 😊
Damn, so this video was recorded on October 10th 2023 (0:48) and they just released it? lol
I was hoping someone would ask if Hikaru plays Go.
Doesnt know his IQ after doing nothing but IQ tests his entire life. Imagine santa not knowing what's inside his presents
he premoved the answers
Hikaru probably closer to 5”5 😂
