Yeah, I was like "wait, isn't this a draw? How is he going to win this?" And then Hikaru moved his rook, and I realized he had an extra rook. My WTF moment!

Hikaru in an untimed game against a cat: "I don't wanna spend too much time here"

Hikaru is so freaking good at playing closed positions. He brutalized the bot in that last game.

@dsaewqqweasd1775

Жыл бұрын

true, I remember him playing a game vs komodo in a closed position like this and I think he won

The closed position technique was masterfully executed. Hikaru has special strategies against engines and though others might get lucky in a blind spot, he methodically out plays these lofty opponents. My feeling is he preps for everything far beyond appreciated. Even his speedruns. True chess professional. Heroic content.

@thirteenx4606

shut up george

That Botez Gambit remark had never dying 😂😂

That was a really interesting last game, with the very closed position. Seems like with no obvious options for the bot, Hikaru's human ability to have a long strategy like that is simply superior to what this bot could figure out.

Although he's a GM, Hikaru's ability to analyze every single move, in-depth, to the 't', is absolutely awe-inspiring. Truly inspirational and can be learnt a lot by the first game alone

Hikaru as a 600 I can't describe how much I wish I knew what I was doing even a quarter as much as you do, watching you deal with these bots boggles the mind! Please send prayers for my poor little puzzle brain! Pleasure to watch as always sir.

Your stream of thought is so satisfyingly refined!

The rook can be taken forcing you to move the king and only having a knight against a rook.

This was beautiful game and victory

Hikaru is a wizard. No debate.

the king just walking by the entire board, having a good time on the last game.

Mittens rook on F8 would simply take Hikarus rook on F3. The king would have to take it, and mittens could just move the rook on C5. Then it would be a knight vs a rook, clearly losing for Hikaru.

Sacking the rook and it being the best move at that moment is so was funny to me

Not being a native English speaker, at first it was harder for me to follow Hikaru, but once I got used to it he's become my favorite even better than Levy, and whether he slows down for us to follow him better or I became more attuned to his speech, in any case his content is very educational and entertaining. 👍
