yet out of a hundred blitz games i could not beat yasser even once. naka is just a blitz beast that comes up with great moves and tactics so fast even a strong GM like yasser lets pressure get the best of him. we are all but humans.
While he just so happens to be pumping out the top 3 engine moves every move. Meanwhile when I DO know what I'm playing for, I'm lucky if my move is in the top 5.
Naka thanks for the video, have you ever thought of making a chess course ? like the one simon williams did for example ? that would be perfect from you, besides it having the best sale ever. please consider working on something similar.
@Yashodeep Mahapatra not one that he personally upkeeps though. he writes in third person in the descriptions. most likely chess.com maintains it for him and he has close to zero involvement with it.
c2 pawn is a backward pawn. That pawn could be the potential weakness. As Nakamura mentioned, if C file ever gets open, he didn't need to worry about the c2 pawn. You don't want any loose pawns or pieces while playing against a strong player.
@@blidnet9180 > doesn't comprehend sarcasm >believes in the validity of iq tests Looks like we got ourselves a code 22, a dumbass. It's called code 22 because they think 2 + 2 = 22.
they are severely different generations with hikaru growing up with all technology. Yasser cant match hikaru at such a fast time on a computer but Hikaru is not on another level than Yas. Yas is only not a super GM because he stopped playing competitively more than a decade ago. Yas and Kasparov and Maurice are still capable of getting wins against the Super Gms of today OTB
@@Kelvinllovejr True. I grew up reading Yasser's books, though. He's a great ambassador of the game, and I'm very grateful he wrote those books. But as far as pure playing strength goes, Naka would trounce him almost every game.
You guys are stupid to think Yasser is a weak GM. He played very well. His positional play is just exceptional. The thing is Yasser is too slow and it's probably because he is too old. Check this out ruclips.net/video/EZG-wWIHvIQ/видео.html @2:20 Yasser still lost on time even when he was up a queen. He couldn't flag his opponent which many of us easily could. He is old and retired from professional chess. He can't calculate as fast as Hikaru. He is playing a super GM who probably is the best in online chess after Magnus. What do you except? Not to mention, in the first game Yasser's position was pretty good. He had more space and better bishop. He just hung his queen. He just got nervous.
Oh wow cool I'm so early. Considering learning to actually play chess since iv been watching so many of your videos online. Your narration really brings the sport to life... For me at least. I've always considered chess slow and formulaic (used to play StarCraft quite seriously) but hearing your stream of conscious descriptions gave me new insight.
:-) Seirawan's still got it although age has crept in, too slow and not as sharp. Good match, hopefully more of this kind will be played in the future.
He was talking about the way he played before the queen blunder. Yasser's position was better. He had more space and better bishop. Hikaru just had a strong Knight.
Yas was great despite the handicap of playing a super GM like Naka. The difference is at least 500 points or more. For Naka, it was shooting in a barrel.
I think all the blitz Hilary plays and him being bored is affecting his classical chess. Speed chess is not chess classical chess is the real deal. He is much better than he plays the problem is that he is bored
I can see why you are not Super GM or a GM? IM? NM? State Champion? District Champion? City Champion? Club Champion? School Champion? 1500 rated? 1200 rated? 1000 rated? Can play chess? graduated from grade school? Can tie you own shoe laces?
Damn. GMs can also leave queens hanging. Makes me feel like a little less of an idiot.
Akshay Singh Jamwal we are all human and make mistakes after all :) still I respect both naka and yasser very much!
You guys are silly and mushy, just trying to make yourselves feel better. Like doing happy pills. Jeez.

yes but we are still idiots
@ 2:57 "maybe that's what he's playing for? I don't actually know what he's playing for. Then again I don't know what I'm playing for either."
lol
While he just so happens to be pumping out the top 3 engine moves every move.
Meanwhile when I DO know what I'm playing for, I'm lucky if my move is in the top 5.
They ought to add 2-3minutes at blitz control for Seirawan . 60 seconds for each decade of years evens out the brain synapse spark factor .
Yasser is still one of my chess heros
For sure
When in doubt, why not.
Yasser is still awesome. This time control just belongs to hikaru.
Apart from the fact all time controls belong to naka if he is playing yasser.
If you look at ratings this time control belongs to Carlsen. Then again every time control belongs to Carlsen :D
Amen
Yasser is a technology illiterate. He was probably having problems with his mouse the whole time.
A. Kochan monitor was off the entire time
not true yasser has been playing a ton of blitz online for many years
ikr. Even I would beat old washed out Yasser.
the truth hurts
Almost everyone looks weak playing against Naka. Yasser is still pretty strong.
"I don't actually know what he is playing for, but then again I don't know what I am playing for either" Hikarua Nakamura :)
Naka the legend.. thank you sir! Huge fan here!
Really dude??! BE REAL
OneWord Gamer wha
Never stop your knockouts...I absolutely love them
hikaru is on another level man. ofc the rating alone could have told me that but watching the ratings play each other out on the board is better
Naka thanks for the video, have you ever thought of making a chess course ? like the one simon williams did for example ?
that would be perfect from you, besides it having the best sale ever. please consider working on something similar.
sasa sahasa It is his official channel. He gave the link in twitter and also chess.com subscribes to Gm hikaru's channel
@Yashodeep Mahapatra

I like how Hikaru evolved. Such a nice person.
ehhhhh idk brother
I would love it if you can upload some Play Magnus videos! :D
Anthony Lam nahh hahaha, Magnus would beat Nakamura on his own channel
I bet he would get a lot of views! Hahaha
magnus woul win ttoo much. nakas ego wouldnt allow him to upload it
Nakamura is a machine. Simple.
PARTIDAS INMORTALES DE AJEDREZ I LOVE YOURE VIDEOS
whew lad tough fork for yasser in that first game
These videos are the best thing ever!
Not nice! Using yasser to get back to 2900! Lol
10:06 I don't understand why he protected the C pawn
c2 pawn is a backward pawn. That pawn could be the potential weakness. As Nakamura mentioned, if C file ever gets open, he didn't need to worry about the c2 pawn. You don't want any loose pawns or pieces while playing against a strong player.
Hard to imagine GM Seirawan hanging a queen like that. And then at 5:56 he retreats his knight to the edge of the board?? He may have been hacked.
This Chinese guy is really good.
He is trolling.
Lol i had to chuckle a little bit :D
I wish someone would troll in Nakamura's comment section.
I was thinking that his name sounds more Japanese, which is more logic for his IQ, no offense 😁😁
@@blidnet9180 > doesn't comprehend sarcasm

"The golden voice", love it!
Thanks Naka, this cured my insomnia.
After seeing hikaru Nakamura vs Yasser I salute Komodo and stockfish
There is levels to this. Yasser is strong. Hikaru is stronger. A big food chain.

Yasser is the GOAT
Playing Yasser at a slower time control like 15min would be much more interesting.
I almost said "Bless you" on 1:00
Roman Mueller lol i said it out loud😂
Press F for Yasser.
F
I'm 3 years late lol

Imo Nakamura is not a very good narrator. He literally just calls the moves being played. If you want to listen to someone fun, try Peter Svidler.
@@SSJ5VegetaV4 He's calling live. What do you expect?
Yasser is a good at complex slow chess
Naka give the old man a break!
This was a fake Yasser-account. The real legend would wipe the floor with this Hiraku...
1:00 allergic at bad moves :)
Spoiler alert: One of Yasser's students was playing on his log in lol
There's something wicked about hikaru's facial features
More like Erik Estrada, but no one could be quite that cool.
Pretty eye opening how nicely yasser played first game before he hung the queen. Probably too much confidence
hikaru is fun to watch!
I enjoyed this video very very much :)
My Regards GM how you make chess so easy ?
Am I the only one thinking Nakamura plays such strange moves also he never castle's in the beginning I love his style
C'mon Yaz, you gotta move lol
that's a cheezy bishop 0:20
At 3:00 Naka.... I don't actually know what he's playing for, then again I don't know what I'm playing for! 😂
An absolute beast !
Hikaru may have won this battle but the coments disagree
Too strong
Full vid of the session?
:-) Seirawan's still got it although age has crept in, too slow and not as sharp. Good match, hopefully more of this kind will be played in the future.
He's a pretty good teacher
Wrist watch check?
You know you don't need to click your mouse again after you dragged a piece to its square
Yeah, that struck me as well. It doesn't look like he's dragging or click-move-clicking, but drag-click-clicking or something. Strange.
i love hikaru no homo
i see you're a man of culture
Hah gaayyyyyyyyy
I still like Yasser. His book has made me a better chess player😊
8:33 what about Nxf4+?
Naka is a new breed.
After Yasser hung his queen: Naka: " I think Yasser played pretty well that game" muahahahaha
He was talking about the way he played before the queen blunder. Yasser's position was better. He had more space and better bishop. Hikaru just had a strong Knight.
Nice chess skills!
Naka be like 'oh hey it's Yasser! *some time later rating spikes back to 2900*
Farming complete!
@6:15 is there a checkmate for Queen at H1 ?
No, Knight to h7 prevent to it!
I thing yasser is slow in online chess but he is not slow in a real playing and hikaru realy fast playing premove
naka you are truuuuuuly awesome. love the channel
There should be title above GM.. the level beetween GMs are sometimes too far apart.
There is. Super GM
GW = Grand Wizard
3/0 is not for gentlemen!!
Check out Levar Kizer on RUclips chess master rap
Elder Abuse!
While Naka was giving Yasser the bamboo stick, Eric was kidnapping wiewers 1 by 1... dont support chessbrah.
Awesome
Min: 10:45 Naka says that movement is stupid?? :D
Hate this board and pieces it's like the default set everybody uses
Don't watch. Simple solution to your problem.
maybe I will watch, maybe not. have to change it up some, keep the video on its toes. I mean, why not, why not. when in doubt, why not.
Yas was great despite the handicap of playing a super GM like Naka. The difference is at least 500 points or more. For Naka, it was shooting in a barrel.
Monster
@1:03 bless you
Yaz just hangs his queen.
Hikaru: he actually played pretty well that game.
What a smart ass
Poor yasser. It feels sad for him to loose that easy...
naka often beat gms much quicker, even much stronger gms
Im proud of YAZ :D
Yasser doesn't play professional chess anymore. I doubt he is hurt about losing to Naka.
ikr. Even I would beat old washed out Yasser.
There is a 400 gap between the two in Blitz
Sorry but a grand master doesn't hang an obvious fork even in blitz. I think it s just a psychological thing.
Hahachuuu..... Excuse me!👍
He should have lost one game on purpose cause Yasser is a legend and deserves the respect he should be given.
Losing on purpose is the opposite of respectful.
Hi Hikaru, I calling you by myself Gigaru Nakamura. For me Gigaru even better to listen, don't you mind, do you!?)
And l like to call you vodka instead of your real longass name...You dont mind do you ?
I think all the blitz Hilary plays and him being bored is affecting his classical chess. Speed chess is not chess classical chess is the real deal. He is much better than he plays the problem is that he is bored
Hilary hahaha wtf, get over it, election's over ^^
Reading comments and one of them is "Yasser is still strong,yea right,few seconds later he lost queen;)
Effortless
up
was anybody else a weirdo and just replay hikaru sneezing? just me? ok...
How easily you won yasser wo0owww like when I play with a novice.
NAKA AND MAGNUS ARE JUST SIMPLY BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD ... THEY SHOULD HAVE A RANKING HIGHER THAN SUPER GM ... LIKE ULTRA GM LOL
"Why did I just blitz out these moves?"
Hmmmm... Maybe because you're playing blitz dude!! ^^
I can see why you are not Super GM or a GM? IM? NM? State Champion? District Champion? City Champion? Club Champion? School Champion? 1500 rated? 1200 rated? 1000 rated? Can play chess? graduated from grade school? Can tie you own shoe laces?
too slow
Yasser is too weak for Nakamura.
Naka would get lose the majority of games to galbijjim on lichess. I'd put my money on it
First bitch
Calm
