Well there are the 'Chess Decathlon' monthly events coming with price money. Hikaru in it to win it of course. There shoud be variants like fisher random, duck chess, atomic etc. every month.

I was the former #1 player in atomic in the world before retiring. Why the game is not technically "solved," white can basically force a draw at will if they desire to do so. The game is much more imbalanced towards white than normal chess. Theory is also extremely critical in this variant (atomic).

@@falcon_224 There are a lot of ways Black can defend. White indeed already has an advantage from the beginning and can enter some lines that are near-forcing if they so choose. But I think the jury is still out regarding whether White can force a win at will with perfect play from both sides.

I could not stop cracking up at Hikaru repeatedly saying the phrase "explode me"

8:12 - phenomenal flash of why he is a grandmaster - taking a look at the end game pawn structures and can already identify he wins on tempo! Throughout the video though he misses a lot, even when it gets deep into the game. I was curious how much grandmaster skills transfers to other chess variants -- seems like some, but still tons of work for them to do!

@PlayLate

Ай бұрын

he transfers alot. it would take him 1 or two weeks to become one of the best players in the world in my opinion

3:25 to 3:35😂”oh he took”

This is insane. More of this please

3:05 Black has forced mate. Black should play Qh5! forcing f3, followed by Qh4+ forcing g3, followed by Qd4 forking d2 and f2. The only correct move after Qa5 was c3, which defends the all-important d4 square. 6:25 White has an elementary win with Rc8+ Ke7 Re8+ followed by Rxe6#. He could also take h7 and win with the extra pawn. 13:19 White has forced mate. Ne5! fxe5 followed by Qh5+ g6 Qg5 and it's over. I actually lost my first ever atomic game in this exact way, so I would know! Hikaru blundered the same thing again at 31:33 and this time, the opponent, rated 1900 and certainly experienced in Atomic, did punish it. 17:48 2. Nd4 is tricky. The correct move for Black is Nh6, with not only covers f5 but has the counter-threat of Ng4-Nf2. A lot of players don't know that and simply blunder their whole kingside to the Nf5 fork. 19:02 Qb6 wins for Black, the whole line was tricky to see though. d4 exd4 Be3 dxe5 Qd4 Bd3! when the bishop cannot be taken as it would explode White's queen. 37:01 Nxf5 is a straightforward win. What a throw by mabulghe! Source: 2200 rated Atomic player. Over 15,000 games.

@Hikaru Those 3 or 4 move tactical nukes were hilarious. Love the channel and I learned about you through Coffee CHESS. Since you came through I saw who you were and then subscribed to your 2 channels soon after. Love the genuine assessment and chess knowledge. I learned a lot from watching your channel... especially pawn placement. So much content! Loved the Botez gambit series... This atomic chess has just become a favorite too. Lots of Master's have been coming to Coffee Chess lately. Thank you for all the content.

10:05 I knew it was atomic just forgot about the exploding part 😂❤

I remember attending TNT Chess camp like 10 years ago when Atomic chess was being invented by Kaden Hoff, Scott, and another IM.

When pawn captures, only the capturer and captured explodes, and the surronding pieces don't, in any case between captures, pawns don't get exploded when surronding captures occur.

Chat was right, you had mate in 2 at 6:35. Rook D8, if King E7 then rook E8 and wherever the king goes you take the pawn and win. If king F7 then you just take his rook and win

Makes me feel like a genius when I see stuff Hikaru doesn’t. Only in atomic though lol

This is so satisfying because I'm 2100 in this gamemode so I feel better than Hikaru in this mode.

6:21 Doesn't Hikaru have a checkmate in three here? C8 forces the king onto the 7th row, and then placing the rook behind the king would let you attack the pawn and the king on the next move.

At 16:35 could he play rd1 check, rb1 check and rb4 capturing pawn thus exploding the queen? This game mode looks really fun.

Fun game modes like this should help get more people playing chess. It's hard to find a random person to casually play that's not a nerd

2:30 Am I right that here knight e7 would be a great move? Opponent wouldn't be able to take it because if he does his king explodes, and next move would be knight takes c8 exploding the queen, the only thing black would be able to do is threaten to explode the king, but would be easily stopped by pawn c3.

6:40 Hilary missed Re8+ If Kd7 Rxe6 is checkmate. If Kc7 then Rc8+ and no matter where the king moves Rxc6 is checkmate.

question, wouldnt rook h7 explode pawn and rook which would make you have 1 pawn more then the opponent and a pawn would has nothing blocking its path in game 1? anyways wouldve beeh up 1 pawn if you do not promote.

22:50 I'm surprised this isn't counted as an instant checkmate, since capturing the hanging rook is forced and possible but explodes the King. I would have thought that if all the King's possibilities result in it being exploded that it would still be checkmate.
