my favorite thing is that his opponent probably believes that he's spending 30 seconds thinking of a move when in reality he's talking to chat about his trip to Greece lol
Kinda makes sense for him to say it. Gambits are losing with proper play 99% of the time. That's why they are almost never played in pro play. Queen's gambit declined and that's pretty much it
8:58 Seeing a cow in a hotel in India. As an Indian, I can say that it is 100% possible to see a cow anywhere here. If you don't pay enough attention, it can even be found sleeping in your bedroom.
@@suuushitrash Kinda, its the holy animal of hindus, and I think pig for Muslims (maybe wrong about muslim's holy animal). I mean in India, the discrimination is sooo much on the basis of their color, caste, religion and race. Just can't explain, its too much.
@@Aisatsana1971 ik but how would anyone know that it’s a super gm. Plus Hikaru probably plays at 90%+ accuracy every game and plays every move fast which is suspicious

Hahahahaha.... He is crushing the players as if he is strolling in a park while speaking of his travel schedule. meanwhile his opponents might have meditated for 5 hours and concentrate, prepared all the lines and strategies and would be playing in a quite room alone 😂😂😂😂
After Qe1+, king moves away from e8. If Kd8, then the next move, Qe7#, is mate. If Kf8, then 1. Qe7+ Kg8 2. Qd8+ Ne8 (knight blocks) 3. Qxe8# 1-0 (which is what happened). This line took Hikaru a second to calculate, you can see the tiny pause in his move input. The king doesn’t stay at e8, you need to keep that in mind when looking at premoves.
cows in india is a thing.. believe it.. i was sitting in a bakery in goa and a cow walked into the entrance and just stood there, nobody reacted in any way other than some tourists taking pictures. cows roam the streets and you just have to get out of their way especially in places with narrow streets like varanasi. its fun!
Another thing about Japan is how respectful everyone is and how a lot of japanese people are more disciplined then most people in westernized countries. That is one of my dream places to go.
the Japanese Society is all kinds of broken with EVERYONE being practically bullied into working their asses off. You might wanna call it Disciplined but is actually Very messed up to not have any hobbies and just work all week
Any other RUclipsr's 10-second intro, I sleep.
Hikaru's 28-second intro, I watch every time.
Real shit?
69th like 👍🏽
Imagine having a 30 seconds long intro and still everyone watches it cause it’s AWERSOME
Its the shinsuke nakamura effect, anyone with the last name of nakamura will have a god tier opening song

Lmao
Normal chess 😢

@@PoPMichalpl9 This is nonsense. Maybe most bad gambits. Most gambits are dubious but not losing.
@@tommydashed4205 they are losing with proper play which doesn't mean they lose in practise
I love Hikaru’s editor

India lets it roam free because it's a holy/sacred animal right? Correct me if I'm wrongg

I absolutely love how the intro changes up slightly each and every time, it makes it so cool to see what’s new each and every video, pieces of art 🎨💙

1:55 hikaru always stayed humble
Hikaru is such an inspiration for people that dont play chess, he is just too damn good.
The editor is always on point
I like how Hikaru is answering chat questions while beating up 1700s
looks like i’m not sleeping for another 43 minutes
Right
1.75x speed on youtube exists
@@Aliens-Are-Our-Friends2027 i would never do that with hikky
@@zachariahstovall1744 exactly. we need to hear the words of the god
Heh
This is by far my favorite intro on any Hikaru series!
39:20 imagine waiting ya whole life to play Hikaru only to have the game aborted because some chat idiot says “BARNES” 😂😂😂
Other 1600s players: "I don't want play chess now, I'm gonna sick for this.
Did you mean “I’m getting sick of this”….it’s okay if English is your second language

You can just tell it's Hikaru from the stats
u did it the wrong way(or were u not talking about my wins and losses?)
Or he’s just blatantly cheating lmao

"uhhhh check... uhhh check.... uhhh check" lmaoooo
That player was rated 1690 something. Like, why does every ~1600 on hikaru's stream always appear to be like 1000 rated. Even the ones on ELO Guesser.
@@descendency because hikaru capitalizes on the small mistakes and makes playing correctly more difficult, thats why they look weaker.

That 1800 That lost Bishop on move 2 was stalling 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why would someone stall in new to chess
Cuz theyre salty
What stalling means?
@@AYAZSAYYED000 When they quit the game but don’t resign, game doesn't progress, opponent has to wait till the their time runs out
Here's a cool trick. Calculate for like at least a second when a super GM offers you a free pawn.
Person who edits this intros is a beast!!!!!!
I watch these games after I play my own games to feel better about myself watching the ppl who crushed me get crushed
Seeing a cow in your hotel totally depends on the hotel you choose.if you live in a cattle farm, you can't complain seeing a cow lol
13:50... Cuando quieras Hikaru, si venis a Argentina te invito un asado
This looks like hes playing 500s
He is just crushing 1700s like ants,
That was maybe the best intros I've ever seen..
Opponent: plays 1.e4
Hikaru: aight ima win this game
I love Hikaru's contempt for London and other system players
Hikaru seems like he’d be a cool ass guy to travel with!
A cow in the hotel? Sir, you were staying in a barn.
What's the intro's song name?
BEST Title Picture ever!
this is the only intro I keep rewinding to watch again!
18:05 lmao greetings from Odessa, TX 😅😵💫
10:46 feels so bad the opponent didnt play knight D2 fork the king and the queen :'(
he would have maybe lost anyway but at least with honor
The fork is guarded by the dark squared bishop on g5
@@wungle7524 how am i so blind
Name of the song at 33:30?
22:20 you are telling me that a 1600 rated player hung a piece-
Okay I guess I’ll stay up now.
Hikaru playing 1600s is the equivalent of me playing with 800s using a guest account 😆
Guests account intersteingg
We need a ten hour version of this intro too lol
Would love to meet hikaru but the guy who makes these thumbnails definitely has to be with him
your intros are amazing man
anyone know what background music he uses?? so gooooooood
can you please include the stafford please?
Me: just having fun watching that intro
**Video starts**
*Wins: 142, Losses: 0, Draws: 0*
My Self Esteem: *Adios*
i'm dying before 5min video, the way he acts, the jean question + the dirty chess 😆
Hikaru play challenge : Play the game without losing ur queen !!
13:40 cuando viniste a Bolivia y que lugares visitaste?
I cant believe that hikaru has never been to ikea
15:20 that wasnt english
this is my favorite series!!!
13:51 Wouldn't Qc6 work for black here?
no bishop to b5 and bye bye black's queen

i love in midland texas about 15 mins away from odessa texas and i can confirm not an attractive place
That pawn just became a queen in a blink of an eye.
love these so much
Bout time someone gives Ohio some props, one of the only normal places left in America, I think you made a supporter for life with that one haha
When was this streamed? Last month?
I have faith that one day Nakamura taijo will pay the king's gambit,the queen's gambit,the hippo etc..
Does anyone know the name of the track used in the intro?
this intro was the best
just here for the intro btw
3:53 : handsome youngboy Hikaru :))
@GMhikaru I watch you play chess as a warmup
Why didn’t the opponent take hikarus queen with the knight when he checked him for the secend time ?? On the second game
Min 5:36
He couldn't because it was a premove, so the queen wasn't actually on a square the knight could take.
Kids should not be allowed to see what you did to that first guy. Disgusting.
“Tokyo or more specifically Japan”
Waht
What do you mean?
5:32
Why black done take the queen with the knight ?
Oh nvm xd
27:50 just report her
Hikari’s audio is just so good, how
how do i get these set and effects?
can anyone tell me how he did that with the arcade animations? mine doesn't have the purple lightning when it checks...
his face expression is priceless
His face seeing people blunder is hella funny
absolutely true
Thumbnail op 😂😂😂😂😂
the beatdown is so satisfying
Could someone please tell me which extension he is using to get that lightning and stuff?
its on the effect in board setting
It's the arcade animation,you can change it in the settings
Whats the name of the song tho?
after these intros i always leave a like :D
How does he make the special effects
man, Hikaru, you got it right? He asked what brand are your jeans because you said you just got good genes!
cheers
Did Hikaru ever done one of the Italian Game gambit where the bishop went to a3 to sac a rook to mate the black king in this run?
what a fuc*ing goated intro
Bro intro is legendary
That's good.
Q What brand are your genes?
A Lewis

What's up with Hikaru always fixing his hair haha. Surprising change but a welcome one.
Finally Hikaru is stomping my own rating🥴
How he change his animation of pieces any body know
You can find it in the settings
In main settings or normal while playing game settings
Oh would you look at that Hikaru went to Europe to play the Fide Grand Prix and he won so it was worth a travel.
