In a previous video, Naka told an opponent that one of the worst things you can do against a Super GM is get into an end game, where you'll always get outplayed. This was a pretty good illustration of that as Ari looked to have an advantage for much of the game and he was done in the end game.
@@lancewildwood2277 They don’t have every single endgame memorized. Most of these endgames they’ve never even been in the position before. They just memorize general tactics. And the issue is the clock and playing quickly, not the endgame. Only Magnus really thinks as quickly and precisely as Hikaru in Blitz chess. So when time starts getting low, opponents are going to make more blunders than Hikaru. They just aren’t as good, and there’s not much you can do about that.
The end game isn’t the problem. The low time constraint is the problem. He starting making more and more blunders the lower his time got, because he couldn’t think his moves through.
@@geometricart7851 This one wasn't that hard to see, in my view. Not the full line, but I might have moved the knight if i had miraculously ended up in that position.
I think what is really cool is that Hikaru gets to sort of show some legit Super GM shit to the new set of young kids who started playing for CoffeeChess
To see elite players out there reputation on the line so much is true humility. Respect. I can’t even appreciate what’s happening fully lol. Incredibly advanced.
Love how the crowd supports homie ... Reminds me of other times When everybody did the same thing supporting my Rival, and then all fell down When I came to win the Game.
Thanks Brian for the great analysis. I am always amazed how there are so many good moves other than the ones I think of. Of course my moves don't come close to those of the analysis.
@@erikm9768 I'm so-so on that but maybe it's just when it's to do with chess. He's a stand up guy though that's for sure. He's cracking up with them at times and fits right in, regardless of ability.
It's funny that we can calculate easier than than the player, just because we don't have the pressure and other variables in the game. I saw the line of the knight, and I was asking myself "why didn't he moved the knight? So easy!" :P hehehe... Congrats for the game, cheers from Brazil!!!
When I'm watching these games I can see many of the moves and the traps being set, but when I'm playing a 5 minute game I can hang a rook or a queen faster than light speed.

Let’s not forget the time odds here. If times were even, then Hikaru could evaluate more and find better engine like moves. It’s good play from others, but these games would not be close if no time odds
@@kyokitagawa7977 but hikaru will always be able to think up better moves with more time. hence the term, "TIME ODDS" So again, good job at stating the obvious. very good job.
@@Hester_prynne Which means you are not getting his best gameplay. You force him into an unfavorable situation making it harder for him.

You may be on to something there. Here, Hikaru quips back at the audience trask-talkers but his opponent is caught in the crossfire. Hikaru has quips for the opponent if the opponent is the trash-talker. Either way, the Coffe Chess opponent is dominated by Hikaru 's calculated play.
Lol okay the winning line at 3:36 was actually 1) f4 Nf3 2) Qg3 exf4 3) Rg8 Ng5 and you can see why this is pretty horrific for black. Instead Archer played Qf5 (which I would have played something like this) because it looks productive
When Hikaru tells you don't trade queens, you would have won otherwise, and you respond with "Oh really?" Then chances are you were not going to win anyway. Because Hikaru is seeing the board at a completely different level. And chances are that whatever he's seeing if over everybody's head.
Man I wish Carlini would let other people just play rather than constantly throwing out backseat advice. He’s had a couple games with GM Hikaru, let other people have theirs.
I wish that guy could keep quiet during Ari's play and let him concentrate on his game. After all, Ari was playing against a GM, not the peanut gallery.
One thing i’ve learned from watching these videos is theres always the dude in the background who can’t choose what side of the fence he’s on 😂 “that’s exactly what i would have though about doing maybe!” what kind of sentence is that😭😭😭
At the time of this video 13:07 What if the white Queen move to D7 and start taking out the black Pawn at C6 and Black Bishop at A6. The White Queen moves would be one step ahead of The Black Rook or Black Queen can protect
at 10:34 when choosing different pahts after the pin/queen trade attack, we can also choose to defend our queen with the rook, using Rook b3 that also atacks enemy queen while protecting our own if a trade occurs. also, if that happens, the towers get aligned on the same path so knight cant take pawn easily without punishment. Htere is also a chance to go for a rook trade taking that knight and the pawn if needed, to convert the 2 middle pawns into endgame with bishop supporting them.
Great work Ari. Carlini needs to zip it during other peoples games against Hikaru. Let the player play without his constant distration, Hikaru is intimidating enough.
Ari did not "snipe off" that battery H pawn. You think Hikaru missed that? You could see him pause for a WHOLE second looking at it, and decided to let him have it. He wanted an interesting game.
i think in 5:31 ari should have play his king to c7 or d7 if he plays c7 hikamaru probably will play his bishop to e5 and low possibility trade his bishop for knight and pawn also hikamaru will take his pawns after that ari probably lose the game ... idk
Yeah, when he traded queens I was like wtf?! But I was even more wtf when Hikaru unguarded his King defense and when he ignored the bishop that took the pawn.

yea yea thats what they all say

I agree but who want's to lose though?
you have too consider that hikaru only had 60 sec
"You would have won otherwise" I want to hear that from hikaru
Yes, that is a huge huge compliment that Ari has the right to treasure the rest of his life!
I don't believe that. This was just one scenario. Hikaru would have won anyways
I can imagine a scenario where he would say that to me after I blundered 15 moves in a row just to make me feel better 🗿
3:59 the speed at which Hikaru recognizes and plays this three-move combo is just incredible to me
I'd bet he was planning it after he played Rg6
@3:48 why doesn’t he do it to the pawn I mean it would’ve gotten the extra point
me too , he's calculation it's amazing
Hiakru’s mission: to boldly go where no GM has gone before re: Coffee Chess (i.e., time and knight odds).
Man that was a really good game to watch. Ari getting that 6.8 advantage had me staring at my screen hard 😂
I couldn't find that damn line though 😅
But then I told myself that Hikaru didn't find it either so it's ok.
To see elite players out there reputation on the line so much is true humility. Respect. I can’t even appreciate what’s happening fully lol. Incredibly advanced.

he doesn't trash talk, he truth talks: His subtle quip lets you glimpse what he already sees, and that reality is crushing.

Congratulations to Hikaru for being up for showing up for this action and giving chess fans a thrill!!!
HAGAPP!! Big Tex watching this from sky above
Carlini just can't keep quiet. It's not the way he's made. Constant jabber.
He has to let people know he's there and that he's important.
Why does Boston mike sound like Manfred from Ice Age?
Imagine if Magnus casually walks in and takes a seat to play Hikaru XD
I think that might be tactically disadvantageous for both of them. (I'd much rather just see Magnus turn up unannounced and play the regulars.)
Hikaru had defeated Magnus before.
All I can hear is "NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH" in the background lol when is Golani going to learn some manners LOL love that kid
0:45 someone behind saying magnus carlsen 😂😂 nakamura feeling awkward
The mental processing is so much quicker. Even when the guy is winning, hes down on time and Hikaru can just sit thinking on the other dudes clock.
