It's really funny how he actually talks with chat all the time while solving the puzzles when i literally can't breathe and make a play on a videogame at the same time
It's a smart idea for classical because it takes like half a second to register where he's looking, so puzzles honestly dont take that much time in the first 10-20, plus the eye tracker cant see his ceiling lmao
That actually would be a good puzzle, even if we knew how to solve chess. Since more then one opening will lead to either a forced win or draw, there is not one best move. All puzzles have one move that wins the game outright, and all the other throw the game. At the start you can play more then one move and still get the optimal result, tho most likely in a different amount of moves, they still give the same outcome.
@mr. smiley It also shows you the opponents previous move. If black moved and it's your turn now it doesn't really take a lot of thinking to figure out your color.
I lower rated puzzles it will be a forced move basically every time, never vague or positional, so the only problem is if you are expecting something vague and positional
@@-yttrium-1187 you're more likely to become a billionaire even. ~2300 billionaires vs ~1500 grandmasters, not even considering the super GMs at his caliber. a low GM could still lose 99% of their games against hikaru
@@lexistential I thought about that but playing chess increases the chance of becoming a GM. So the correct comparison is to find the ratio of people attempting to become good or GM at chess versus the amount of GM's. total amount of chess players range from 200-600 million. best case scenario of 200 million with ~2000 GM's would put you at 1/100,000 or 0.01% which is significantly better than your odds to become billionaire but globally the amount of millionaires is 0.9% and in north america and europe a respective 7.3% or 2.3% which is higher by a factor of 90, 730 and/or 230 compared to chess. Meaning it might truly be easier to become a millionaire than GM by even the most conservative estimations.
@@lexistential Its also strange to think that the intellectual domain like chess creates such a huge cliff at the top. even with similar hours and dedication to the game, the difference between hikaru and magnus are unparalleled in other domains like sports.
At age 8 After beating my friend i thought i am king of chess across world But after watching hikaru's and magnus gameplay I can't imagine my childhood
@@ppthfrg If the opponent plays the best move possible, it's impossible to get a winning position. YOU make no sense. I don't think you understood my comment. I mean that the opponent's move that introduces the puzzle is ALWAYS a blunder. They either blunder mate in 1 or something. After THAT they play the best moves.
@@MultiGoban Oh wow okay yes I am wrong about my first statement. But pretty sure when she was written she wasn't looking up the ceiling, she probably started doing that as the series came out, thus maybe stealing it from Hikaru.
Every time I watch your videos or your stream, it really makes me want to go play some chess and I have this idea in my head that I'm going to play exceptionally well... and I always stop after the first game because I remember how stupid I am
He's not even trying to go fast here, check out his video titled "Record breaking Puzzle Rush". It's just rapidly flashing chessboards as Hikaru solves puzzles blazingly fast.
3:32 “does it matter where the king goes?” Y’all need to check this position out in analysis. If the king goes to h4, the position is FASCINATING. Both player have a rook and a queen for TENS of moves, but black is up 4 points, because black can EVENTUALLY force a queen trade and eventually promote the other pawn
Chess is basically a language. When you master it you see the board differently. You process it more effectively. Like how you read your native language. If you havent mastered a language, you take time to process what you are reading/hearing. Chess is the same way. Its basically just a mind bogglingly complex spacial language which can takes decades to read effectively.
Ok. I played a game which had a simular style to puzzle 37 and I'm happy to know that there was a puzzle that I never had seen before has that exactly same movement.
Yooooo! Let’s gooo. I really wanted to see this but I didn’t know how and I missed it. I also wanted To see your one with Gotham and I saw it on more gm hikaru!
Before I even know if it's white or black to move this man has already solved the puzzle and the one after that
In this video he does it really really slow. Normally. In puzzle rush he just solves puzzles in like 0.6 sec

One of the problems of being a GM is seeing things in a low-rated puzzle that the makers didn't think of.
@@farleydbear there are puzzle makers tho, although I don't know if the puzzles made by people are uses in puzzle rush/puzzles mode
the engine being used to double check the puzzles helps a lot with that
The moves come from the engine and result in biggest possible forced advantage so theres not much room to debate most of the time.
I lower rated puzzles it will be a forced move basically every time, never vague or positional, so the only problem is if you are expecting something vague and positional
I think there are puzzles that were made by humans. Just, it is not this one
Me: Spends 10 minutes doing variations on puzzle 20
Hikaru: in 10 minutes has 40 done and talks to chat the whole time
4:08 I can't even move my queen like that. Hikaru is so good
He said e4

It's "interesting" that Hikaru didn't miss a single puzzle rush
2:10 the way he said “haha that’s a good one” sounded like the biggest ‘I don’t believe you’ lol
RUclips needs to make a playback even slower than 0.25X specially for Hikaru’s puzzle rush....
No .25 is understandable
he's gonna put water on his face, he knows he looks tired but he's actually feeling very good
Imagine doing puzzle arena against Hikaru,you would solve one puzzle and look at his score and see he already solved 20.
Lelil!!!!
nah just give him his chat and his "articles"
I just skipped forward ten seconds on accident and he had solved three more puzzles lmao
"Magnus making it the finals is expected but beyond that" if only he knew
