Man we should appreciate his mouse skills too. One misclick can cost him a game. Think if he was a gamer that mouse clicking would have definitely taken him far😀
If the opponent moves Queen to g7, white takes the Queen and it's mate. If opponent moves Queen to g6, Knight to f8 is a fork and white Queen to g6 is mate.

Jesus! He probably sees 4 dimensions in his head for Chess.
Yeah he’s squinting his eyes to see the other dimension better

Don't use the Lord's name in vain
I find it even cooler how the amount of checks he spitfires is literally a single move off of what he actually did. Brainblasted 9, used 10
11, sadly. Nf8+, Ne6+ Q[a1, b1, b2, c2, c3, d3, d4, e4, e5, f5, f6]+ (that's 11 'staircase' checks) then Nf8+. Would have been cool though
He silently calculated the other two
Probably got near the end and saw it was game, so stopped visualizing
@@Cowmilker98 well he says 10 checks, though. (I put it on x0,25 to confirm this lol)

You're missing one 'check' in that last part.

@@alonemusk9201 Bro, do you know what a transcript is?
Streamer + Chess Player = Two absolute powers in one. This man is dangerous.
Bruh he analyzed that position in half a second, wtf...
All those 'checks' he said were probably the exact amount before mate too
it’s a winning position but not mate
Its not mate the king is stuck but black can take the knight ofc black is down a queen and will get mated soon
@@alexand6918 Any table base will tell you that mate is forced
It's a win. White king just march up and take the pawn with queen later. But there is a chance white might blunder a stalemate.
Actually he said the Last check off
His mouse clicking accuracy tho
ya, i actually think that was the hardest part.
Imagine him playing a shooter
ever seen andrew tang
Can't unhear the piano in his voice.
I would probably have kept up using the staircase and blunder my queen.
"How good are you in chess?"
"I use the elevator"
Stolen comment, wow.
I use the rook and queen and place them opposite side while the other is one move lower as I elevator myself to checkmate the king
You can see that he loves what he's doing
"Is this a staircase? Check check check check check check check check check check check! It's a staircase" Sun Tzu ~ The Art Of War

i dont see this as a checkmate king can move to g6
cant unhear the piano
this is the 48th time this is in my recommended and I always watch it
This is the chess equivalent of Daigo hitting that multiple parry on Street Fighter
Gosh damn it I looked at your pfp
yooo real shit
That not an an staircase thats a frickin escalator
And the scary thing is that this guy is not even at the same level of Magnus Carlsen. There’s levels to this
Carlsen smokes chess in his free time
Nakamura is rated higher than Carlsen in blitz and bullet, lower in rapid and classical.
Uhh. I mean. I know it's Magnus, but Naka is a VERY powerful player.
You could say they're "rivals" in a way. Magnus did mention Hikaru is difficult to play against.
@@kidartist99 there is no official bullet rating
Everyone gangsta until computer throws in a Qg6 and you blunder your knight premoving the next queen check
You made the thumbnail look like Hikaru's taking the largest dump of the century.
i read "Hikaru wakes up on a staircase" and thought i was gonna see a hungover Hikaru win a chess tournament while streaming through his phone while sipping a flat warm beer.
It would've been a troll puzzle if black decided to block a check with the queen in the middle of the staircase :o
Hikaru: ''Is this a staircase?''
Me: ''Bruh it's a chessboard.''
Hikaru: ''Check, check, check...''
Me: 👁👄👁
He actually said each check. Holy shit
You actually counted them. Holy shit
I like how he can see the board better with his eyes closed. Like you can see the gears turning when this man thinks about the staircase.
How many check do you want?

@fx 490 True. I would like to see something more witty nowadays compared to these low quality comments that copy and paste the same formula again and again.
I love how the intro of "Since You've Been Gone" kicks in when he starts walking the staircase.

"Don't worry, the final boss isn't that hard"

why cant the queen just take the night?
Because the black king is under check from the Queen.
because black got checkmate
its called a discovery check

Why does he have a different setup in every clip
Probably traveling
I just realized, how is that not a drawm
@Wacky wock king can also move to g6
Btw why does the opponent not move the Queen to defend?
If the opponent moves Queen to g7, white takes the Queen and it's mate. If opponent moves Queen to g6, Knight to f8 is a fork and white Queen to g6 is mate.
@@suhasrao9336 yeah but he's premoving the staircase, doesnt the opponent have a chance if hikaru misses the queen blunder?
@@JO-ns7zo its a puzzle so it isnt programmed to blunder
