Hey thefranChise, I was wondering uhm... if you'd like to play video games? Since you know.. you're like done with this video and whatnot. Just let me know. Thanks!
I really enjoyed the video, but I feel like you sould have started with stronger points. Most Hikaru fans are going to watch the first like 5 to 10 minutes, see that your point in that section is basically just "He is a pretty rude" and not see the points of him being a genuinely bad person from the rest of the video.
hikaru is like a 4chan troll that just coincidentally is one of the best players ever. if he was just IM or FM he woulda been a laughing stock in the chess community
also you had the PERFECT opportunity to make a rey enigma joke for a video literally titled "when the mask slips" you will not be as funny as technicals and you are technicals' luigi
09:25 No, it wasn't sarcastic. Danny Rensch is all about PR and damage control. Hikaru is important to their brand. He was killing the Hikaru-is-having-a-beef-with-Rensch narrative by praising Hikaru's tweet. 13:36 Chessbae is not anonymous to everybody. Chesscom knows who she is. Hansen met her once in real life too. She was known to be the wife/ex-wife of a GM. Her identity was once leaked on Reddit but the post was deleted quickly.
A full hour of blaming Hikaru for fair use reactions which you call "content theft" (and you do in most of this video) and someone else named ChessBae's manipulations which he apologized for three years ago calling him the "worst person imaginable"? Bruh. Get over it. It's a game. And accusing Hikaru of hypocricy and lack of self-awareness? Project much?
I have no interest in chess but youtube recommended me this. I like double checking things. At 4:13 you fail to mention that Alireza threatened to forfeit the series if he was not granted a break. Another player complains to the refs, gets the tournament rules changed (in the most serious tournament setting for the most rigidly unbending game), and it may have directly led to the front runner losing in the final round... if I was Hikaru I'd be beyond fuming. I'm amazed he said GG later. "This is all over the fact that he got second place instead of first"... Yes? Being the winner or the loser seems like a big difference. To be clear I don't like Hikaru demeaning his opponents and it does look like he lets his salt out in bad ways but I dislike the way you are directing the narrative.
I understand where you are coming from, but its hypocritical from Hikaru to act like this After he starts losing, as he said "i shouldn't have allowed this to happen", but sadly he did, and he has to face the aftermath, then again we could discuss how It isnt that big of a deal to allow a 15 minute break in my opinion, as i think that having to win two times in a row Is enough of an handicap for coming throught the loser braket

Wow, unreal.
My man found a gold mine, a niche network, in Chess drama. I had no idea it went this deep. Keep up the good work.
Good video, i wanted something like this to be made about hikaru for a while, although since it is Hikaru the video can be easily twice as long
How did you watch all of it that fast?

"You can think of Hikaru as the Leffen of the chess community."
I instantly get it. Ambiguity is defeated. Clarity reigns supreme.
FINALLY, i am waiting for years for someone to say this, i had so many people ask me why i dont like him, now i can just send them this video
if bro thinks im watching a 55 min video about some random asian dude, he is absolutely RIGHT
18:19 Toad and Marge Simpson Impression is very spot on.
Thanks for exposing this POS.
Chessbae is still dominating chess, shes his wife now xd
The bridge clip is killing me. I cant believe he would say that

if this blows up its gonna be huge in the chess community god DAMN
16:24 - Naroditsky is a STANFORD HISTROY GRAD TOO... So take him seriously when he talks about Mussolini

hikaru is a professional victim
The Leffen of the chess community. That's all you had to say.
This video about to be striked with the might of Zeus.
how tf did you get a nearly a 4.0 GPA
academic all star
In before this gets a copyright strike.
Technicals pop off
Guys, I'm not a data scientist
Why tf is there drama in chess. Just put the pieces on the board man
Anywhere there is competition there will be drama. So in every facet of life it exists*tips fedora* do the kids still do that?

Great video man. Had no idea he was so slimy.. Well, I kinda figured
This is a good video, glad there is someone covering this side of chess. Your eyebrows are extremely distracting though
3.8 gpa? Smh you can do better
53:18 You forgot to add Mikey (The Cheat), Greg Turbo, Wily P and Chroma.
I'm still waiting for sus sunday
25:18 ayyyyyyyyy
I don't care for Chess, so I'm sitting here listening to a segment about a guy I have never watched and won't ever. I'm only doing it for the algo. :P
Where’s tech
Are you gonna make a vid about Hax’s suicide attempt?
This guy cares
Was the 69'th like. Nice.
gg wp
It's so weird how dramatic and tv they make Chess. Like You to touch grass 9

edit cuz i was more rude than I wanted to be (as happens with salty topics)

This video title deliberately draws from RUclips videos about murders, sexual assaulters, etc. "Victims' is not used properly here. Change it.
ok
thats on you for having that narrow definition. a victim is just someone who has been affected negatively by someone else
hello @thefranChise run it back on showdown
