This has to be the single best chess vidéo I ever saw. The discussion of ideas and the analysis, explaining why they are good or bad was SO helpful for me! Trying to learn with engines telling you "this is the best move" is just crap as it does not help you understand what you are thinking wrong. While here it goes through that process! Thanks!
Great explanations, and I love how patient you were with a new player. It is EXTREMELY difficult for experts to both break down their expertise into information a layperson can understand, AND to be patient with them while they work through what is "elementary" to the expert. I feel like you navigated both difficulties perfectly.
This was refreshing, everyone has to go through this process of not seeing things over and over until they start seeing them. I saw them all instantly but it took me so many years to get to that point. Not getting frustrated with the new player and working with them over and over to install the pattern recognition is so important
Honestly, the way he teaches, it is so helpful towards understanding what is happening. I don't know how much is actually retained, but holy shit does it show easy to understand ways to get a good perspective of the game. It still focuses on sequences and chess remains to be a lot of memorization, but the way he explains does feel like it helps with pattern recognition. It does make me fear for getting tunnel vision though.

I am very impressed. Such a wonderful teacher! Would love to see similar videos on every opening. Thanks to Pokimane too for sharing her learning process. I suspect this video, and others like it, will help many new players. Cheers to both of you.
I dont know if this is universal enough, but when i teach my girl peers about something, they kinda do that. My opinion is because the question asked is not specific enough, or they just don't want to be wrong, or the combination of that.
I think people forget how intimidating someone like Hikaru can come across. Pokimane learned chess two weeks ago, Hikaru became a Grandmaster at the age of 15 and is one of the best players in the world. Sure as viewers we don't see him because we already know him but this is her first interaction with him in front of 20,000 people
its so insane. I learned so much from this coaching, together with the one from negraneau that my rating went up straight 200 points :) I love this playstyle. Thanks alot for this and my new passion for chess.
I feel like poki sometimes needs kind of a long time to notice relatively obvious moves, while she also grasps some more difficult-to-spot things pretty fast. if she internatlizes the patterns for the easier ones she should be able to win pogchamps
He wouldn’t even be able beat pre intermediate (even a little below pre intermediate) players if he hasn’t played at all, well even if knows how the pieces move and only that he would get smashed.

Oh god this happened to my earlier, I am rated 1048 and I was playing with the london, and then I accidentally castled queen side, when my entire queen side was literal war, but I managed to counter attack on the king side and win two rooks.
Hikaru is a shockingly good, and patient, teacher. Most geniuses are unable to grasp how we mortals may miss some elementary tactics. More often than not, they blow a fuse.
I love the infinite patience he has. Of course we can see the obvious moves and plays, but Poki doesn't seem to get right away, and Hikaru waits for her and gives her the tools for her to understand.
@0:40, The problem with mainly doing puzzles for training when learning to play and strategize is that the puzzles have binary outcomes: either you get the puzzle right, or you get it wrong. In real Chess, particularly when both players are sub-2000 rating wise, some mistakes are far worse than others, and some puzzle "mistakes" are actually decent moves for that level. In real Chess, an inaccuracy is far worse than a blunder.
