I was there in Viernheim today and took a picture with you in front of the venue before the event. You were super friendly to all the fans. Pure class throughout, especially after such an exhausting match! I also thought Vishy defended extremely well. Good luck tomorrow 🍀

I remember once reading in newspaper where he talked about how he spends a lot of time on physical health. He said that ppl usually think that chess is all brain but you need to be physically healthy and he does swimming daily and other things to maintain health (I forgot most part bcz it was around 2010 when I was in school and he was in his prime) but I do remember that bcz before that I too had the perception that chess players don't spend time on physical health but he highlighted it

I love how hikaru videos go from high quality to your average 2010 video 💀

Averaging rating if 2010?

In the realm of chess, where battles are fought, A clash occurred that left many in thought. Anand, once a master of great renown, Retired and aged, but not ready to bow down. Hikaru, young and full of fiery might, Stepped forth to challenge the aging knight. With each move, the tension in the air grew, Anand's seasoned wisdom against Hikaru's debut. The pieces danced upon the checkered stage, Their minds engaged in a strategic cage. Hikaru sought to claim a glorious win, But Anand, crafty as ever, wouldn't give in. Anand, with a twinkle in his wise eyes, Taunted Hikaru with a humorous guise. "Ah, young Hikaru," he chuckled with a grin, "Think twice before you deem yourself to win." With every move, Anand showed no remorse, His defense unyielding, a formidable force. Hikaru tried his best, but fate had its way, The game ended in a draw that fateful day. Anand, the wily elder, gently teased, "Dear Hikaru, your ambition's appeased. Remember, age and wisdom can't be ignored, For even in retirement, I'll still strike the chord." Hikaru, humbled but still full of zest, Gained a lesson that put his skills to the test. He realized that age may slow one's pace, But experience and cunning can never be erased. So let this tale of chess and friendly banter, Remind us that age is just a number, no matter. And though Hikaru couldn't claim victory that day, Anand's wisdom and wit will forever have their say.

Amazing defensive technic from Anand

Great to see Anand still going strong!!

Watching Hikaru’s videos while drinking coffee in Hikaru’s kanji mug is gonna be my new norm 😂

Anand is an absolute legend. Great game.

GM Vishy Anand plays very nice chess. It is really nice to watch and this is the second time I am noticing this...

It’s such an amazing to see vishy is still adaptable and playing such high level at this age . One can imagine what his level used to be in his peak . Hikaru to me seems to be the most favorite in candidates . Hikaru has high success Vs fabi . I don’t know when hikaru has lost a classical !! It’s been a while for sure . Good luck to Vishy for upcoming chess tournaments and hikaru for WC!!

Amazing complexity in the end game. 2 pawns 7th rank but still no successful promotion possible, and result hangs on an extra check in about 6 moves depending on exact approach squares of the king, quite mind boggling.

Thank you Hikaru I was at the Event and man, your attitude was Great! It was an honor to See you play IRL and Even get a picture with you 😄 Keep it up 💪💪

I honestly thought vishy was lost in the rook endgame but this h3 idea was oh my lords

It is so fascinating that even with just four pieces on the board (asside from the kings) it can be so challenging for even two of the top supergrandmasters to see all the possibilities. Is there a term for a system that is so extemely volitile and subject to minor initial conditions? (Fragile vs. anti-fragile? Heterozygosity? Unbuffered?)

Good luck for the World Championship Hikaru

hikaru never fails to fill us with world champions

Good luck brother

Well I'm so happy I've learned enough endgame theory to anticipate the concepts explained :p

Pawn tickle attack

I thought it is video from 5 years ago because of the camera angle and light

IIRC, at one point in the commentary, Hikaru refers to "football", a reference that may have been confusing for American listeners. But almost certainly he was referring to European football, which Americans know as "soccer".

The man is 54 years old and still competing with kids who were not even born when he first became world champ and is still in top 10, what a chad. His endgame play was engine level.

Vishy is a beast... ❤

i swear ive seen this game before

Anands king is closer to the center hence he gets the moral victory 😊

Being an indian after anand the person i admired the most is hikaru , sheer amount of hardwork and dedication this man has given is inspiring , it will be sad to see hikaru getting old , i just want to see him becoming the world champion hope my wish may come true soon

I think Hikaru will win the candidate . Over the recent years Hikaru had hardly lost a classical game . I am a Huge fan of Hikaru . Go for it .. best wishes 👏.. what a legend vishy is !! . Even at this age he could hold with perfection someone like Hikaru ..✌️

Vishy still got it.

Extremely instructive rook endgame.
