Hikaru: sees the whole board for half a second and does the best move for another half a second Me: takes me 10 seconds to realize that I am with black
@@snoopymccloud1875 like Zandkoeje said previously if you made a queen and did Qh1 the opponent wouldn’t be able to move his king and pawns, go back to the time stamp and re-analyse it, you’ll understand

I see many people are looking for the songs. Two songs are playing in the video. The first song is I remember you by Skid Row and the second one is Since you've been gone by Rainbow
that's very common among good chess players as in endgame if you pick up any good endgame book like silman or nunn's endgame book, you will see there are many prinicples to follow like triangulation and distant opposition, diagonal opposition, zugzwang, rectangular opposition, promotional tactics combined with the fact that your opponent can do many different moves on any move of your calculation(simply speaking, more options for your opponent). It makes calculating endgames tougher.

@@basedyapper The pawn was already on g4 so the h pawn doesn't have to en passant. But more importantly, the h pawn was initially on h5 so no need to en passant - just capture.
Any other square can be protected by the queen after it moves along the 8th row. a3 is blocked by the pawn so even if the queen goes to f8 its blocked.
The queen moved squares that made the shape of a staircase in order to deliver multiple checks while getting closer to the king in order to take away his escape pieces, before then moving the horse into a mate
Him gets three incorrect:I'M SO BAD Me: hm should I move my horse and check the king? OK I'll do it *checks* Enemy Pawn that is diagonal from my horse *takes* Me:NOOOOOO
Hikaru: sees the whole board for half a second and does the best move for another half a second
Me: takes me 10 seconds to realize that I am with black
Yeah man, I feel you :D
@Vesyal well you can consider sometimes i dont understand it before i solve the puzzle :D
Racism is real
Me: takes a year and a half to think of a move
Him “is this a stair case” me “wtf”
I would have thrown my computer out if I got that puzzle, same with the "make a draw" one.
Saw that the first time, too

For everyone wondering why he made a bishop: He couldn't make a queen instead of a bishop because then it would be stalemate after he takes the pawn.
How so?

2:04 THE HARMONIZED MUSIC
This is like pro fps players going into aimlabs
It's Hikaru. I can't expect any less. His skills are almost inhuman.
1:57 very hard and brilliant
I think thats from a famous game. I have a very faint memory of seeing this in an actual game or something similar.

Does 52 puzzles in a row*
Hikaru: "I'm not satisfied"
I have the same reactions he did on #52. Except for me its like puzzle #18
3:57 someone explain why b3...
pawn block a3 square from the queen

The song after 2:30?

Mans finds checkmates faster than my internet runs
Crazy to see the difference between the stream of Hikaru in 2019 and his stream nowadays ^^
By the time he solves the puzzle i am only capable of looking at the top Left to see if it is white to move or black to
4:18 why doesnt black take pawn on g4?
i think if black takes g4 then white takes f7, and then after promoting, white goes bxc5. so it ends up the same except black is down another pawn
@@s0phie93 ahhh I see now. White takes f7 and then will promote to dark square bishop instead of light square
@@s0phie93 does black take on g4 with en passant? Cus other than that it can't possibly take it.
@@basedyapper black can take on the first move, instead of h4
@@basedyapper The pawn was already on g4 so the h pawn doesn't have to en passant. But more importantly, the h pawn was initially on h5 so no need to en passant - just capture.

I usually watch videos on 1.5x had to watch this on 0.25x
That´s crazy...
i need to play this video at 0.5 speed to understand each move !!!!!!
4:40 sounded like the bee movie
I really hate how I’m not understanding what he’s doing
He looks stoned in the thumbnail
3:49 can somebldy tells me why the square on the file matters
Because it's the only diagonal that's blocked by the pawn, so the black queen can't leave protecting the a-file square of the rook
Any other square can be protected by the queen after it moves along the 8th row. a3 is blocked by the pawn so even if the queen goes to f8 its blocked.
I meant 3:59 sorry !
@@mrsirman2177 it was a waiting move
@@kenmendoza6932 I still dont get it could u please explain the moves to me if the rook went to another file ? Thanks
4:23 did he just promite Bishop? Why not QUEEN? Iam confused asf
because queen takes h1 at the end would be a stalemate

4:45 what would be the right move?
Seems like Rb3.
If king takes rook, Qd8 win the rook back.
If not, then takes the rook with rook
Solving a puzzle every 6 seconds when it takes me that long to locate the king
Wait, that wasn’t hanging? Oh there’s a sniper sniping the sins out of my queen. (There is a bishop protecting)

He is make it look so easy to checkmate.. and i'm always struggle with that.. i'm weak when it come to finishing move.
When he said so bad I was thinking to delete chess games and quit learning

whats the staircase about?
The queen moved squares that made the shape of a staircase in order to deliver multiple checks while getting closer to the king in order to take away his escape pieces, before then moving the horse into a mate
