Hikaru's best draw was in fact also against Magnus when he and Magnus made a brilliant double bongcloud game, where Hikaru found the beautiful move Ke7!!! ending the game in a draw and farming Magnus.

I can’t imagine the pressure at this level even without the family complicating things a little bit more. Respect.
Beautiful story and game. Great content, man. I felt yo pain dawg 😭😭😭. You have have had more thrilling victories and growth since! I enjoyed every minute of this!
I appreciate hikaru a videos about his losses he most. Not only the content is top notch but you get insight into the thought during the hard times in a way nobody else does.
Watching this live was quite the experience. Magnus was unreal in the post-mortem. "I thought he could still make a draw with Nc8". Completely mindblowing after such a game. He was a machine back then...
Just a wonderful post, your honesty and humility, considering what a great player you are is inspiring, the greater the Super GM, the less BS, thanks for your great videos.
I remember this game very well. As a Norwegian and a Magnus fan it was an emotional ride with a positive outcome. I remember thinking that Hikaru's position was so extremely strong and commanding that there was absolutely no counterplay for Magnus. As a chess player I also remember feeling very sorry for Hikaru. Blundering a loss in a completely won position is a feeling I know all too well. It's especially difficult to find the correct moves and reset your mind, once the position has gone from winning to equal.
That ending was so wholesome wth, peace and love to you too bud :]
Magnus no.1 in classical chest all time is the G.O.A.T but hikaru has won our hearts and is the peoples champion remember hikaru heros get remembered but legends like you never die

Oh Naka, it could have been a quite rough moment, but I'm sure you learned a lot of it, a lot of great games and wins will come, you're quite young still and there's an entire career to go, you have the brilliance and talent to achieve anything, thanks for explaining this game to us, very special and nice, specially the way you did it, so honest and close to your audience :)👍🏽❤️
I can just imagine Hikaru randomly waking up in the middle of the night and thinking about this game.
Love videos like these where they show some of their losses, and how even at these levels they can do some easy blunders. Chess can sometimes be very frustrating, but such an amazing game to play
Great video! Excellent attitude toward your greatest loss! I know you have learned many things from your losses ... and wins! Being awake all night pondering that board - I know it was tough and probably caused to lose the next day but you took it like a champion and learned from it! Look where you have come since that time!!!
I like the way Naka look at his failures. Always reflexive, mature and learning from his mistakes. It inspires me a lot.
I remember watching this game live, it was insane watching that eval bar go from +9 to draw to losing, thanks for sharing!
Hikaru you're one of the main reasons I started to learn chess. I am still terrible but you teach very well. Thank you
This must have been tough to make, respect to you Hikaru sir, facing our toughest losses makes us stronger
Props to hikaru, therapy and content all in one!
We appreciate the high level analysis! thx hikaru
It’s very admirable of you to show your big loses and we can also learn from them as much as your wins if not more. This game also show tons of skill because you were so far ahead in this game for a very long time. Also thank you for using a chess program where we can see the evaluation bar so we can see what the engine thinks of the position on top of your thoughts about the position. I love how you explain obvious things to you like mates that could happened because you care about how not everyone knows and see’s what you do.

I remember watching this game live, thinking like omg, he's actually doing it, he's finally beating Magnus fair and square in classical chess! And then the Magnus effect game to play.
This thing of emotion haunts one day and night again and again ....losing a winning position kills you ....once i played a tournament held in my govt office ....while i was unrated and casual player ....my opponent was 1794 fide rated player but i was in a complete winning position had i didnt missed a tactic ....till today i feel sad ..thinking of that game....after fighting for 3 and half hours i lost that game which i could have easily won
Humility is a good thing, it shows character. Stay on this path
Your breakdowns are amazing, easily the best on the platform for high level chess. Would love to have seen some of your thoughts on how the position could have potentially played out in your favor but otherwise another excellent video!!!
I have to say that Hikaru is a phenomenal story teller .. it doesn't matter what's transpiring, he is just SO GOOD at the narrative and controlling the narrative even while explaining a loss. Well done.

He is terrible at narration, what are you smoking, he literally speaks too fast and repeats the same sentence like 5 times, he may have great stories to tell, but his narration skills is unfortunately nothing like his chess.
Very insightful! The whole psychology of delivering peak performance for every move is an entire playing field of its own.
Did not know about this devastating game, thanks for sharing! To be fair it was not easy to find the crushing moves.
That you can talk about it with humility and share it with the world shows growth in mental strength and maturity. 💪💪
I have so much respect for you for covering this game bro o7
Perfect video, shows us that there's people behind chess board. That's why chess is sport. Also it would be great to look at winning moves in the key position.
I remember this game. I was following it live. Awesome channel. Good luck to you.
I love these analysis videos!
This makes me feel slightly better about a game I played recently. I was winning and then made a blunder and got checkmated. I even had a force mate sequence that I missed. The feeling of knowing that you're winning to have it ripped away is brutal.
Hoping for more of these videos and anecdotes
Man that's absolutely brutal. Many a men would have let that crush them permanently. Great to see you bounce back eventually
I remember this game, it was beautiful but then painful to watch!
You are one of the greatest, looking at a few games is part of the show.
So sad, Hikaru. Hope you will win soon, wish you a great streak...

We tend to forget that chess players are common people with relationships and stuff happening around them and we believe that being mentally great every day is something "normal". Its so easy to quit after this.Good for you that you didnt gave up and now we are lucky to see you both playing against its other.
Honesty is the great mark of a champion!...here Hikaru is brutally honest and we as woodpushers on here can learn a lot!
What a cool opening, Hikaru should go for a BWC more often
Looking forward to seeing in the Meltwater Chess Championship next month!

Hikaru: "My worst lost of my chess career" Me: SO FAR
I just know you for quite some time but whenever I watch your videos it feels like I've known you for so long.
As demoralizing as that was for you, it must have taught you so much and made you a much stronger player. GG!
Hey Hikaru, thanks for sharing your thoughts on that game. Not only from a chess prespective, but also what was going on in your mind. I was also playing a competitive game (not chess) in my town and threw away a game which was winning against my local rival. Can really feel what you are saying. I hope you and Magnus have a good and respectful relationship, no toxic stuff going on etc. My rival was a "good winner", no disrespect at all, helping me to get better and in the next tournament I was able to beat him.
I remember this game, seeing it "live" on "chessbomb" (R.I.P.). Apart from earlier winning moves, it was consensus afterwards that 37.Qf1 was an assured win. During the game though, it was totally confusing for the majority of us onlookers why the engines eval fell suddenly from +7 to 0.0. Kudos to Magnus for holding on "one more move" for a prolonged time until Hikaru lost his head.
Watching this at 2 am and hearing the Hikaru's notification sound blast full volume had me terrified 2:54
Hikaru, please, come back to the classic matches, we all like to see u compete and win. Im cheer for u from Brazil, and i hope you go back to the classics
as an f3 nimzo player myself, can definitely see myself playing a move like d6 and spoiling the game... it looks so obviously good yet like many games in this setup the pawns will almost always benefit black in an endgame. tough one to watch but great analysis Hikaru!
Imagine being so good that Hikaru has only beaten you once or twice in classical chess, Classical is the purest form of the game , but sincerely this is one of Hikaru s best videos I have watched , you could see the pain even now, and Hikaru telling us the story and the emotions and how vulnerable even the best can be.
For us you will always be the winner
Incredible how the entire game was so pivotal on one untimely pawn... How the title of champion depended on the precise position of the weakest piece of the game is such an analogy to life.
Usually I can’t stand Hikaru, however-his chest analysis has been excellent..a rare..👍
"Not everything is for not" -Hikaru
Yep! The same thing happened to me when l played Magnus a few years back.
When I saw the title, I knew the game he was talking about. I remember reading about it a few years ago. Hikaru was winning a game against Carlsen after like 12 losses, until he played d6.
We believe in you Hikaru! All losses are a learning experience, we know you will become a world champion if not now then next time but I know you wil!!
You are a class act!
Thanks for sharing, sensei 🙂
And this is where the rivalry was born
As we say at the artic circle in Norway: "Traveling Somewhere That Doesn’t Exist? Of Course, I’m Coming"
I remember that tears.. And Magnuses idol face
It hurt me just to see this man. I cant even believe how dissappointing it would have been for you. But you did win tons of respect from your fans like me
I remember this game, i was watching it from Hongkong, and as you said, you had a superb position, and I actually expected to see Magnus resign, but after the pawn move, things slowly started to unfold, it was an incredible match, but i have to say, it takes a lot of curage to share your mistakes, and we all seen how well you have played against Magnus after that match. I wish FIDE came out with a tag-team tournament, and you and magnus was on the same team, i think that would have been a hell of a team match, each player can sit on the table, and switch every 5min during the match.. that would be very very interesting ..
Was expecting that game against Ding from the candidates tournament to show up.
Awesome content
it happens to everyone, for me you remain number one, after the big
'Literally Don't Care' is the perfect counter to the Magnus Effect.
Great video!
I remember watching this game as it unfolded. It was like a Hollywood movie: lots of action and drama, topped off with an ending that was completely expected and completely unrealistic at the same time.

This is what made made Hikaru Heisenberg
You have been playing against him for many years, which means you both are up there at the ultimate level of chess, the level millions around the world try to reach every single day. And you two still have a long way to go. Just imagine playing against him, once again, in 20 or 30 years.
I remember this game so clearly. I was watching the Norwegian TV broadcast which had a few chess experts in the studio, and Magnus' sister Ellen was there. At one point when the computer was showing massive advantage for white they were talking about how it was all over and one of them (who is a GM) said that "I am sure all of us here in the studio would win this position against Magnus with white." Boy, was he wrong! It so easy to look at the computer evaluation and think that it's easily winning. Actually winning it over the board against the best player in the world is a totally different matter. But the best part was watching Hikaru's face when he realised he'd blown it and was suddenly losing instead...
