Hikaru is definitely cheating. He said he was starting a diet and I saw him eating cookies. That’s the only cheating he can be accused of
I read the first line and I thought you were a hater😂
You got me in the first half not gonna lie
Lmao 😂
😂😂
I don't think hes the only one cheating
Eric: reacts
Hikaru: reacts to Eric’s reaction
Eric: reacts to Hikaru’s reaction to Eric’s reaction

At this point they might as well host a joint streaming session. XD
Can't they just have a conversation already?
These streamers know what to jump on.
Did eric react to this already? Lol I would like to see it
I wish Kramnik a speedy recovery, I don't wish this level of delusion on my worst enemy
He's just a paranoid
I wonder if it’s jealousy? It does suck that a Super GM has found a way to make a living off of streaming which has in turn seemingly elevated his play cause he no longer has the financial burden weighing on him to win.
Bro's gone Fischer.
He is gonna end up like Bobby Fischer.
Giving Fisher vibes.. 😢
If he's cheating, he's the fastest cheater of all time.
if you could do it, everyone would be doing- only 3 or 4 players play as fast as Hikaru
Everyone knows Hikaru has the ability to install vibrating stockfishs in any ceiling
The amazing time scrambles prove Hiraku is a genius not a cheater.
The way your average online player cheats, is not the same way a GM would cheat. The average cheater online is asking the engine to tell them what square to move what piece. This is incredibly slow, and easy to catch. All a GM needs is an indication in critical positions that the position is good, or to keep it consistent throughout the game, also indicating on equal positions to draw. This would cut down the time dramatically. I'm not an expert in Chess cheating, but I would imagine a separate computer used solely for processing positions from older Chess engines could do this in under 3 seconds. Do I think Hikaru is doing this? No. Why? Because I give everybody the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. Coincidences are not proof. If correlation was causation, every conspiracy theory would be true. The 45.5/46 farming lower rated players is not even interesting let alone proof.
yes, and he did it while eating noodles and listening to music!
You know things are bad when Eric defends Hikaru
Fr
The greatest underground chess fight of all time.
Hikaru puting Eric on 1.5 speed is a subtle roast
Not really, go watch him play bullet...
The fact Hikaru called out Danya as one of three people who could have possibly fit that description is such a massive shout out from him. That just stood out to me as a really awesome shout out to hear.
Hikaru has been a Danya fan for at least several years.
Yeah he’s spoken like that about Danya for a while online. He has higher expectations of Daniel than Daniel does. Definitely big respect
Lol where have u been bro they've always been shouting out danya when it comes to speed chess..
even magnus mentions him quite frequently
Danial is brilliant
I believe Hikaru also mentioned that if it's 1+0, danya is on par with magnus and hikaru. Now thats big
I believe Hikaru is at the peak of his chess career. He looks so happy and is living his life. I think that's one of the reasons why Hikaru has been playing the best chess recently. And we are very proud and happy for him. But these accusations are just ridiculous.
I feel like Hikaru has at least one solid growth run in him before hitting his true peak.
@@ultrafly100I think so too but since he decided to focus more on streaming instead of fully committing to chess it is more likely that he has reached his peak.
considering he is an official candidate one of eight possible players to challenge DING id say he has good chances since Magnus aint competing.
He claps easily everyone in Blitz and if he can find that switch in Rapid as well, maybe he can overcome his fears and ´make a run for classical as well?
I grew up admiring Hikaru and have followed his games since I was a kid, way before his streamer career blew up. Hikaru 10 years ago was mostly godlike, but sometimes irrational and inconsistent. Hikaru today is just a winning machine in blitz. He's relentless and fearless and brutal and beats people down and crushes their soul. Hikaru says he was better 10 years ago but I don't think so, he is harder to play against now because now he gives no fucks.
That's also his last weak spot against Magnus - Magnus is the only person he is actually afraid of, and it comes out in his play.
@@cwmooand i do like the fact that Hikaru RESPECTS Magnus a lot … They both respect each other 💛❤
Hikaru even blitzing his reaction to Eric Hansen.
Someone has to tell Kramnik "just because you couldn't do it, doesn't mean he's cheating".
Yeah, but his academically rigorous napkin maths ?! He calculated some percents 😂
Ur disrespectin' his authoritahh!

I died laughing when that "YAAAAAY" soundbite you play after someone subs happened right after eric said hikaru was accused of cheating.
Hikaru isn't cheating because the dude literally voices his entire game plan that he's thinking about

Kramnik is actually going Insane.

He is entering his bobby fisher stage 😂
@@jacobmccain8082the heck😂😂😂😂
@@kyleO1Bobby didn't do anything to deserve such an insult 😂
"Kramnik is actually going Insane.": The problem is: he thinks he's good at statistics. He actually is utterly poor at statistics. Even many famous mathematicians and phycisists are very poor at statistics. Statistic math is extremely difficult, so many mathematicians and phycisists follow (partly) their gut feelings. And - by far - those feelings are utterly incorrect.
I'm an avid chess player, in my fifties now. I grew up watching Karpov vs Kasparov, and Hikaru and all the other players since. Hikaru was just one of those players.
Now I'm so grateful that Hikaru started streaming, I weirdly feel a connection with Hikaru. Hikaru lays it all out, and brings a really interesting insight on the world of chess.
Key word: interesting 🤔
Para social relationship 😂 hikaru doesn't give two f about you your just number to him.
wtf???
GIGADEV690
Finally, someone else understands this.
@GIGADEV690
Hikaru chats like a boss on a rampage while he's playing. There's no way he'd be able to concentrate on chess, respond to chat on subjects they bring up AND RECEIVE INPUT ON MOVES from an external source all at once. Saying Hikaru cheats doesn't pass the giggle test, let alone the smell test.
dont forget he also stares at the ceiling anytime he actually needs to think. Does Kramnik actually believe the ceiling monitor theory??????
And if he could then he could definitely also do that to 2900's. The dude would be even more of a monster hahaha. Not bc he's cheating but bc he's capable of doing superman multitasking so he could probably excel at chess
The thing is hikaru was world #2 in classic otb. To assume he cheats online is simply crazy talk.
I think it is very interesting, that Kramnik went to the bathroom all the time in his world championship matches. I wished Hikaru could make a video about this very interesting topic which might find a lot of people also very interesting
In Danish we say: thief thinks that everyone steals.
Well atleast he could qualify from candidates and dethrone legendary Kasporov and defend 2-3 more times.
Hikaru couldn't even reach past candidates even after Magnus quit 😂
@@MorningNapalm
That sentiment exists in other countries too, but I don't think it's very valid. I don't steal bicycles, but I lock my bike up whenever I leave it outside. I don't burglarize houses, but I lock my door whenever I leave home. If that saying were true only bike thieves and burglars would bother locking their bicycles and homes.
@@HopyHop1 It means that if someone is very suspicious of others, then there is a higher than usual chance that they themselves are guilty of what they accuse others of, not that they are certainly guilty. And I think in this sense it is likely true.
@@MorningNapalm
Okay, does that mean you believe that people who lock their car doors are more likely to be car thieves than people who don't lock their car doors?
"He's been accused of cheating" " YYAAAAAAAAYYYYY"
Ben Shapiro: Play at .5x to sound normal.
Eric Hansen: Play at 1.5x to sound normal.
Xqc: play at 0.25x still dont understand shit
Currently, Hikaru's average accuracy is 87.8 but in the last 7 days from now his average accuracy was 86.3... Lower than his average, his opponents just played a little worse and he got a streak, I doubt he was cheating.
I think Kramnik's biggest mistake is not actually watching some of Hikaru's streaks and just referring to stats. If you've been watching his stream long enough, you see how real the Hikaru/Magnus effect is on opponents.
Kramnik is one of the last players that didn't cheat. Today most if not all of the top 10 players cheat.
@@tongobong1 proof?
@@nocbvideos6458 the proof is the treatment of Hans Niemann by Magnus. Magnus accused Hans of cheating and he was right but how did Magnus know that Hans is cheating? He knew it because he is also cheating the same way.

Hikaru literally doesn’t care about the allegations
This is just content at this point lol for him
Add it to the list of things Hikaru literally doesn't care about
That's why he made a video to discuss it at length, right? Doesn't care at all.
Just hikaru juicing out the contents
@@Rodisflawless my mans never heard of memes before
Hikaru's not cheating, period.
Hikaru is clearly an alien who has installed stockfish into his brain that only activates when looking at the ceiling. That is cheating.
Shhh let the man milk this more

@@Kitiariyain the tournaments aswell
periods are one of 15638943 excuses women make as the last attempt to avoid unavoidable 👉👌
Fischer lost his mind before, and now Kramnik lost it completely. It seems like a mintal disorder happens to world champions, and I started to worry about Magnus😅
Magnus is just bored and frustrated, not insane.
That’s why Magnus quit! He’s quite smart.
Kasparov is a conspiracy theorist who believes in a massive alternate history conspiracy where ancient greece happened in the middle ages and Morphy was also known to have lost his mind and thought all his family members were trying to poison him.
Fischer didn't lose anything he started speaking his truth and got cancelled before it was a thing.
Bobby saw the ugly bitter truth and the good ol' elite labeled him crazy to push people away from him. he knows 'his people' to a T let's just say that..
Eric called you the goat. He clearly has a lot of respect for you. Show the man some love! ❤
They've been friends for like 15 years
He cut off precisely where Eric was about to talk about how Hikaru was actually the most original "everyone's cheating against me" dude lmao. Wonder how Hikaru would've attempted to defend that
The fact that he is streaming isn't mentioned, but it's simply a fact that he thinks often outloud, draws arrows, premoves, etc makes even the most sophisticated cheating implausible. He literally has a camera and microphone surveillance on himself. I find this accusation laughable. I think it's a few chess insiders only who wanted to bring this to the behind the scenes griping and venting to the surface perhaps to generate discussion, make drama or whatever. Likely there is some agenda underlying this. The whole community isn't buying this nonsense. Not to mention we've seen the way he strategically uses the clock, and salvages hopeless positions. That's psychology and it happens as light speed. Even an engine cannot finesse its way through that. In fact the engine likely would lose those hopeless positions as best moves aren't the trickiest moves to keep your opponent wasting time. Also the only conceivable way to cheat with kernel drivers running a chess engine and using screen overlays direct on the graphics buffer to bypass browser detection or screen capturing, is a sophisticated project only a senior engineer with a lot of experience and time could pull off. And it would need to be updated with every Windows version and could break on driver updates. Not to mention you could keep the developers from talking about it. So I discount this as pretty much totally absurd as well. Technologically possible but extraordinarily impractical.
while a front facing camera does not prove very much, it is still more proof than anyone else in the tournament offers.
Because Hikaru is usually so casual and outspoken in the public people don't realize how monstrous he is at chess. Magnus is more of a mythical creature for average chess player because of his aura. But Hikaru just as much as a monster as Magnus, we just take it for granted.
Hikaru should just interpret this situation as nothing but a massive compliment from one of the great chess legends. Kramnik is essentially saying that Hikaru is so good that it is quite literally hard to believe it.
when your career is at stake??
its fine to be mad at him.
@@ishitvvats2044 His career isn't at stake, he's done nothing wrong
@@ishitvvats2044 no point that's all
It is INSANE to believe that someone who livestreams his games and explains the thinking behind his moves as he goes is cheating. His accusers have to be ignoramuses. I'm 100% behind Hikaru.
It's envy.
Cheating online/on stream is easy, but! Hikaru showed OTB his strength so much times, only Magnus can say he is stronger. Why he can't farm 'low' rated players? I don't understand Kramnik's arguments
@@RazielDeTam tbh I dont think Kramnik understands Kraminks arguments
Has Kramnik ever even seen Hikaru do puzzle rush? 🤭
Or for that matter, play Minesweeper?
He probably cheats there as well 😁
Kramnik does Puzzle Rush, but with photos of those killed by Putin in the last years !!
😂😂
He has. He said it looked very interesting.
Statistically, there is no difference whether we pick 46 consecutive games or we pick every other game or every p-th game, where p is a prime.
So the easiest way to "prove" someone is cheating is simply pick all games they won and say that their win rate is 100%.
Kramnik needs to justify why he specifically chose those 46 games.
So beautiful to see Eric supporting Hikaru after the front lawn incident
Why would he still be mad? He won the fight
ty lol. only comment acknowledging these 2 fist fight
Keep doing what you're doing Hikaru. Now my money's on you for the Candidates!
Where can we bet for chess?
Where did you bet?
It's an expression
How much did you lose
Never accuse a GM the likes of Hikaru of cheating without actual proof. It’s in poor taste and we all know Hikaru doesn’t need to cheat. Hikaru is true elite class as a player and a person.
I love how Eric and Hikaru went from online beef to now he is defending him. Good sportsmanship.
Playing online is always different than OTB. It's definitely more comfortable at home, in your own chair, and set up. OTB chess is always a little more nerve wracking and you do move slower when having to reach for the pieces.
yeah and you can also draw arrows like Hikaru does they help at thinking faster i think, also the 2D perspective is easier to overlook than OTB
Also there’s premoves and flagging in equal positions which also have to be taken into account.
@@faznaz7455 @StrAniG09 yep both of you bring good points. The different perspective is huge, and hikaru is THE premover.
"he doesn't have a brain, he lost it" ~Nakaru Hikamura
the rating system itself can't even be used as a marker for blitz chess because the rating applies to so many different time controls... hikaru could be 300 points over someone on increment and 400 points over the same person without increment you wouldnt be able to disguinsh based on a combined rating if one players plays mainly one over the other
Nonetheless, being so good at chess to the point a GM thinks you're cheating is the ultimate flex.
a couple "friends" from work are like 1200 on blitz but probably like 800 or less over the board... most of the online blitz in the lower elo is just anxiety control, being calm or just not really worried in general. the same thing applies to the higher elos as well, some really good players kinda suck at blitz because its just nerve wracking... whereas some people just literally dont care... like Hikaru... he is an expert at not caring
former World champion lmao
@@nassimbenhenni6746Not just a GM, literal former World Champ
I know Eric's and Hikaru's relationship is professional and not friendship, but hearing Eric talk at 1.5 speed and sound like a normal person is entertaining haha
It's really funny seeing Hikki being defended by Eric. Two of my favorite GMs of all time. It is always fun watching them compete against each other, but this video and Eric's video were a change of pace.
Lmao now that im watching this old vid, hikaru pretty much indirectly predicted naroditsky would be facing these accusations soon and here we are. Kramnik's such a loser 😭
Hikaru should challenge Kramnik to an over the board high security blitz tourney. I’ll bet Hikaru would beat him 46 times in a row
That would be hilarious lol
@@ultrafly100 Kramniks ego wouldnt allow him after all that getting obliterated by Hikaru. He looses his mind all the time when getting flagged OTB and Online.
- Kramnik would be a patient in an asylum after that match lol
Play naked and isolated, thats the way
I dont think hikaru could win more than 5 times in a row. But maybe...
I mean Hikaru would beat him but no where close to 46 times lmao. Kramnik is still the 26th ranked Blitz player lol he not some scrub
Hikaru cheating? I didn't even know he had a BF/GF.
I've heard Hikaru is the top player whom most gm's dislike so i believe this is why many said hes cheating cause they dont like him but deep in their souls they know how good he is at online chess but they wish he wasnt... and im not a fan of hikaru i will never think hes cheating he has good skills with the mouse way better than any other top gm, thats it.
Hikaru is the annoying "mothers-best-friends-son" for most of them. Better at chess, better at life. People need to touch grass more often.
0:40 "...That he's been accused of cheating" "Yayyyyy"
Bro is so good at chess that the former world champion accused him of cheating.
16:30 Hikaru: "Oh no did he just accuse..."
10:56 Hikaru: "The results speak for themselves"
19:56 Hikaru: "so it speaks for itself"
A week from today, Gotham: "Hans Niemann sues Hikaru AGAIN?!?!?"
Lmaoooo
Probability is an strange animal. Lets say the rating difference suggest H has a 90% chance at winning against a random player. Then the probability of H winning 44 in a row is less than 1 %
But as soon as your not playing 44 random players but just a few you can throw that calculation out of the window. Different players have different playing style that can be a good or bad match. There may be a prehistory of intimidation and fear. So perhaps the chance of H winning may be 95 %. This subjective probability may come closer to the truth the the one derived from ELO diff. If this is the case then the probability of winning all games jumps to more then 10%. Lets assume that we have a tilt factor as well. So whe H has won three games in a row the probability goes up to 97%. Then we are not looking at a proposterous result anymore. People use statistics too casual sometimes.
That's true. I can beat my friends who have are rated lower than me by like 300 elo in 30 consecutive games. But if I played 30 games against 30 random players rated 300 elo below me, I'd probably lose a couple.
But also, let's say the rating difference suggests that H has a 90% chance of winning against a random player. You're right that the probability of winning 44 in a row is less than 1%. But if someone has played, say, one thousand games (and Hikaru has played easily that), the probability of such a streak appearing somewhere in one thousand games is 62%!
He literally just cherry-picked a small sample size to skew results, like an average idiot as opposed to a former world chess champ.
You are literally nobody in chess if you have never been accused of cheating by Kramnik.
Maybe it’s just me, but I read that tweet like Nepo wasn’t agreeing with kramnik… seemed like he was saying kramnik is right to be concerned with cheating but this is not the battle to be fought (because he’s obviously wrong). And also meme-ing on kramnik by referring to him as some self proclaimed vigilante. I could be 100% wrong tho
I feel like the thing about Hikaru winning this often though is that most of his games he just wins on time by flagging. He's simply faster because blitz is almost all he plays. He even admits he'd lose in OTB to most top rated GMs. But even Magnus played him in a series not that long ago and when interviewed even said "I expected him to be fast and accurate, but that took me by surprise", Magnus even went on to admit Hikaru is far better at Blitz than he could likely ever be.
If I learned that Hikaru does cheat, then I would have to question everything I ever thought I knew. Incredible players have incredible stats, and his brilliance, is proven over and again on stream at a pace that couldn't even allow for cheating.
So chess grandmasters are essentially just gamers... "damn he shot me so quickly, I didn't even see him, cheater"
Hikaru doesnt need to do this. Hikaru's track record has been on live in front of everyone since basically what...like...'94? '95? Hikaru you are worth more than this.
he is doing it because he knows people love drama. he gets to make entertaining content with it while also showing how he isn't cheating. tbh i am quite entertained.
Hikaru hides all of his chess moves in his brain.
Any doubts about Hikaru should be dispelled by seeing him do puzzle rush. That shit is straight up insane
Even the actual cheaters got confused on this one.
Kramnik being a merchant banker, hikaru chasing that bank 🎉
Proof that Eric only views Hikky as a rival not an enemy.
Hikaru living a double life as a jpop star 😮
Hikaru: It's still slow lets put it at 100x speed
Another possibility is that the ratings aren't very accurate. I think in these cases, Hikaru also found some players who were a bit overrated online, and managed to farm them, also probably using the psychological advantage of being a GM. It might be a little unfair, but its not cheating. But maybe the rating system does need to be reformed a bit.
the rating system is fine. fluctuations are normal. it's accurate over the long run; there's not really any good way to avoid peaks and valleys (not to mention, what would be the point...)
It wasnt even that special. There was like a 5% chance of hikaru pulling it off. So when you think in terms of 1000s of games he plays its like 50/50 something like this will happen.
Hikaru may have been accused of cheating, but I can say with confidence he will never be accused of being modest.
When a former world champion thinks you’re cheating, that’s a massive compliment
The one thing I'm still trying to figure out is, how on earth did Eric not lose his place counting when he scrolled up??
Probably on accuracy and move count
Or you just know the name of the opponent you counted last 🤷🏽♂️
@@mofe620he only played like 3 different people during the 45.5 streak

"He could probably go look at Danya's scores" Hikaru why did you give him ideas!

Bend!
i really want standupmaths to review this whole debacle. What kramnik did (and what Eric did, essentially) is basically called a "sampling bias" which is covered by Matt Parker of standupmaths when Dream's minecraft speedrun drama happened.
We have to look at hikaru's 51 thousand games (and maybe distill it down to only the game mode in question) and account for all of them, and calculate the possibility of him having a run of 45 wins among the thousands of games he's played. At that point we would have something that is statistically sound to put blame on, if there's any.
Hikaru is melking his own drama. I love it! At least he produces some nice content after that ridiculous suspicions of that old delusional pal.
Hikaru doesn't cheat for three reasons. One of those three reasons is his understanding of statistics - he knows how hard it is to disguise cheating. The other two reasons are a desire to protect his livelihood, and also cheaters annoy him.
i drank a litre of motor oil yesterday
Interesting
Frankly my first interpretation of Ian´s Tweet, "He is the hero gotham deserves, but not the one we need right now", was that he was refering to Kramnik, not Hikaru. I saw it as : Kramnik is what we need (or deserve) to fight cheating, but not what we need right now (because right now we dont need this sort of un-fundamented accusations against people like hikaru). But i could be wrong
Well thanks for explaning the obvious that anyone here understands besides Hikaru .
Hikaru dressed like an easytech at staples
Nepo's tweet referencing the dark night is literally just him saying that Kramnig is "speaking facts!!" but that no one is ready to hear it yet.
Great to hear Hikaru praising Danya
If someone has a big following and isn't cheating. You should never attack them. Their followers will remember the slander.
Imagine being that good at chess that even top players think you’re cheating 😂😂🤣
It makes me smile seeing an absolutely phenomenal player like Hikaru give credit to Magnus saying sometimes he is too good to beat in tournaments
Kramnik needs a friend. Maybe we could all pitch in and buy him a puppy.
Hikaru has shown his skills time and time again.
Bong cloud, the Botez gambit.....he shows he is not afraid, talented enough to sacrifice and still win just for the heck of it
Hikaru definitely enjoyed the showering of praise 😂
These accusations are obviously laughable but didn't Hikaru say the exact same thing about Hans; that players in event have talked about him possibly cheating and used that as proof that Hans cheated OTB? How the tables have turned.
For anyone wondering why the "Hikaru" trend is not related to GM Hikaru, the term 光(Hikaru) means light in Japanese, so it's a pretty common term used by many people in many aspects
Isnt that "hikari" and not hikaru?
@@Everythingbland321 Oh, yes, Hikari means light, Hikaru means shining or glowing.

Ive been playing chess for 7 months now and i recently won a chess tournament in my School im so happy when i won since all my opponent is older than i am i learned alot from Hikaru's content and help me improve more in playing chess
When your such a monster at chess people think you be cheating 😅
I can imagine the reasoning behind Kramnik's disbelief, but there is a 300 point difference between the players. Taking shortcuts in words: 2900s are very good players themselves, but are not on the level of a 3200, especially not if that 3200 is hammering out blitz games every day and has built up such a routine and repertoire, that it dwarfs the 2900s who can never achieve it at that level. Even though they themselves can built up a routine that dwarfs 2500s if they are fanatic enough. But knowing that you can achieve the very top might be an extra motivation, and a 2900 does not have the inclination to think that he/she can reach the very top. In short: comparions cannot be made purely on numbers; position and achievable goals should be taken into account.
Hikaru is top 2 GOATed for online speed chess, with a longevity case for #1.
0:40 why did that "Yayyy" effect come as soon as he said that?😭😭 Was it intentional or coincidence?😭
