@@AdityaGupta-sn4vc I mean if you count insignificant events then what next? We'll count bullet champion, titled Tuesday etc etc?? SCC is an actually an overhyped event mainly because of the Hikaru stans thinking it's the most important event and a win there makes Hikaru his rival
what about the last one between Andreikin and Dubov? Maybe somebody more expert will analyze why a draw when Andreikin could have played Bg4 and win a rock.
@@daedalron That too he blundered in the opening mixing up his lines. If he gets out of the opening he is the favorite to win in equal positions and favorite to draw in lost positions.
This kind of video is why I'm a forever fan of Hikaru. He'll even make a video celebrating the success of his archnemesis, who has given him more grief than anyone alive ever. That's a real sportsman, and good person.
@@RsGenjilyea in that CCT finals, he was really upset with himself, he actually gained rapid rating in the event since he had the 3rd best results in the rapid portion behind Magnus and Wesley, but he kept losing the Armageddons. He was in poor form. Winning games from worse positions, and blundering wins and draws. There was not a single day where Hikaru had a good day except for his 2-0 against Lazavic at the end. I think on some of his videos, he finds he plays better when angry, but it's a fine line.
hardly his arch nemesis, simply other level of player and Hikaru isn't even top 5 of the last decade. Better example would be Karpov vs Kasparov, now those 2 truly had a rivalry (Karpov would've been the GOAT and 20+ years of #1/champion if it hadn't been for Kasparov).
Yea definitely not his Archnemesis. Magnus has no rivals. Currently on a bad day the closest person to Magnus is Fabi in classical, and Hikaru in Blitz. Magnus peaked a few years back but is just managing his decline, and he is still better than everyone in all time formats. I can't see Magnus playing for the Classical World Championship, unless Alireza takes the next step and becomes World Champion or Fide changes the format. It's good to see Magnus less stressed and enjoying the tournaments he competes in
@@user-dw4dq1if1m No drama but what the OP meant is mentally recovering from a loss (since losing affects other players much different and they play on tilt and usually lose even more)
Hikaru's question: If you win the World Championship, are you open to discussing conditions to play against Magnus Carlsen in a Championship match? I think there are a lot of economic incentives, and I think it is going to be the best match possible. Maybe changing some of the match rules like adding 3 or 4 more classical games.
When there was delay due to magnus complain about getting black 2 rounds in a row something stroke me. When MVL, Fabiano and all the other players regrouped to have a chat his wanted to join in but it seems that his a nerd amongst nerds, a rarity indeed
It's very strange.. that Dubov make to Magnus Win's all the games, sure that to Dubov send big amunt of dolars, more.. i think thats Nepo, Arionan are comprometed with theyrs, also its very strange. please i dont thinks that is a big complot tha involcred all the player elit

someone asked: why didnt hikaru play the championship. That was the answer Hikaru gave (i prefer to stay with my old parents during xmas holiday). What about magnus? It wasn't the topic why you put it out ?XD @@wicked_grin2316
Watching Hikaru commentate from the bedroom of the apartment he rents while the professional players participate in the competition is like seeing the sad face of your dog when you leave for work in the morning.
he was on a vacation with his parents on christmas. last yeat magnus 1st and hikaru 2nd. yes if he was there this year had a chance to win or atleast would have be a more challenge to magnus.
Nah, Hikaru and Magnus have equal respect for eachother. Hans NIemand however got little publicity in this event, he did play and one of his games was live sent on norwegian tv and he lost to a lesser ranked Norwegian; funny.
seriously didnt even need to watch it and I didnt, glad we have this review, I wish we could legally do sports betting on chess because it would have been like free money.

It's amazing how Carlsen can win the World Blitz Championship with 16/21, and still lose 1 rating point in the process.
this shows you how high his rating actually is
Yeah Carlson is underperforming. I’m expecting a perfect 21/21 next year.
Yeah hes washed up tbh, shoulda went 21/21

I respect how, despite being a top 5 talent and fierce competitor, you still find a way to praise & respect Magnus's accomplishments. True class.
Indeed. I used to dislike Hikaru and thought he does not have a pleasant personality but with time I realized I was wrong.
Magnus content = views = money
He is a change person now, I really like his chill and relax style more now compared to his older time.
@@Sweet_Jelly39 he still gets pretty angry and pouts sometimes though. Even just recently at the champion's chess tour.

He wont say shit about it
No they are both Russians so that was normal result according to statistics 😂
@@apclaudiu Dubov has Bf3, so there isn't free rook. Position is nearly -1 after Bg4
Very very interesting...
Winning World Rapid and Blitz Championships two years in a row is just an incredible achievement.
And he only lost a single game in those 5 days this year... Wild...
@@daedalron That too he blundered in the opening mixing up his lines. If he gets out of the opening he is the favorite to win in equal positions and favorite to draw in lost positions.
He also achieved that feat in 2014 and 2019
It's absolutely ridiculous how he accomplished that 4 times while nobody else has ever done it even once
i don't think anyone in the world would've found Rd1 - d4 - a4 - c4 over a blitz game. that combination truly he's the GOAT
This kind of video is why I'm a forever fan of Hikaru.
He'll even make a video celebrating the success of his archnemesis, who has given him more grief than anyone alive ever.
That's a real sportsman, and good person.
Not sure he is a great sports man from what I remember seeing last time, he throws tantrums a lot in person, but he is entertaining to say the least.

Magnus is winning championships just so Levy and Hikaru can him for their thumbnails.

third move of the game, Hikaru: your position is quite passive
Just came after watching levy's recap...didn't realise that there were this many variations in the first game...amazing analysis
Levy should stop thinking that he can analyse grandmaster games,he's an IM
Your video breakdown of these matches is top-notch! Thanks for the amazing content!
Watch out
This Magnus guy seems pretty good
Yeah he seem like a pretty good chess player, but I would probably defeat him
@@XxMakittoxX matter fact, he has never defeated us.
His over though funny reaction in the beginning of video 😂😂😂
Dubov coincidently was precisely 0.5 points short to match Carlsen and had they played a show off there is no telling what would have happened.
yes but dubov knew it at the start off the day and not at the end.
this is the first chess play by play I've ever watched and it's wild
Get used to others walking through your vicinity and saying WTH are you doing
Magnet is a great chess player
FOR TODAAAAAYS VIDEO!! GOAT HIKARU
What a game by NVL, great rook sack he saw it all apparently temporal continuum end game awareness
I can't imagine Magnus doing Hikaru analysis for content fr

Thank you for the insightful and engaging analysis.
Hikaru was 2nd last year, why did he skip out. He's all about content, but skipped out on a possible showdown with Magnus. Everyone wants to see it
he was on christmas vacation with his parents
i cant believe he won again smh

Hikaru won the American championship multiple times and out of the 4 formats he's the only one with a world champ title other than magnus.

Why were you not there? I'm new to all of this stuff
Dubov did nothing wrong
Are you saying that Dubov would've drawn Magnus on top or even won the entire event if he had not done that silly horsey dance with Nepo?
the drew it as a protest against fide. dubov drew his later games also. if he didn't do that he would have had a chance.
well in the final game dubov was slightly worse and magnus was slightly better. Both off them would've fought it out if they were on equal points
Carlsen is the Best!!!but some crap chess gm's like Benjamin Finegold think Carlsen not the best chess player LOL
I wish could love anything as much as Hikaru loves pineapples.
