Wally's kind of hard to beat yeah. Anyone finding the 600 Jimmy harder to beat as of late? Then same day i beat a 2000 level bot. Something doesn't add up
@@Automotib Not really, but I've been playing too much bot chess probably lately. It's actually quite bad for my chess. Because I would learn certain tricks that only work on bots and subconsciously get used to them, which is bad for human chess. Like for example, vs bots with < 1500 rating, you can usually just trade ASAP and go into an endgame and then shuffle around for 20+ moves, and they would do a blunder eventually and it's ez win. The bots are programmed to have a certain chance of not playing the best move according to rating, so if you go into an endgame, that 1 mistake of losing a pawn can win you the game easily. Versus higher rated bots, it's not great to go into the endgame, because they'll usually just play a perfect endgame and you got no chance. I think Hikaru even mentioned this once in one of his bot speedrun. For me, usually it's better to play super solid vs higher rated bots. If it gets sharp, the bot will spot tactics much better than you, so it's way easier to just keep the position closed and shuffle around until the bot eventually reveals an opening due to that programmed chance of making a bad move. But of course, all of this is only useful knowledge to beat bots. It's useless when you play humans, especially someone around your own rating.
@@luckyjc8702 Check out when Hikaru out-smarted the bot in 2008, it was called "Rybka." Hikaru has some vids talking about it but it's the kind of thing I find fascinating even though I suck at chess.
I think it’s really funny to hear Hikaru’s q&a about streamer pay, I don’t know where people gained the impression very top viewing streamers weren’t making good money when you hear “thanks for the sub” quite often.
i was watching this video fully immersed really fascinated by the games till i realised i was literally in chat typing catjams the entire time oh deer sometimes my mind is totally somewhere else
Hikaru you are a monster bro, its really amazing how fast and good at calculating you are. I wish i can be half as good as you some day, goal is fide master. I played 2 years and im 2200 lichess and was 2100 blitz, now 2050 blitz with some bad games. You are a legend hikaru, 2nd best american chess player ever. Nevermind caruana, hikaru was n2 as caruana and hikaru is the best blitz/bullet player in the world along with magnus.
funny to hear that people in chat, that probably just have a normal income say that 8Mil for top streamer is not much. Shows how little they understand about it. Its litterally so much money that they have no idea what the number means.
To get back to top 5 classical he would need to dedicate an immense amount of time to it. Personally, I much prefer him spending that time creating content for us to enjoy. He's already proven himself by making it to number 2 in the world.
Nope. Black can play Qb2+. If Kh3, Bf5 is mate. If Bf2, Rxe1, Qxe1, and the a8 rook can escape. If the king goes anywhere on the first rank, Rxe1+ anyway, Qxe1 and the a8 rook can again move somewhere else.
@@mochiman100 No I mean the title of the video .. if you go to the channel and want to find these games "Speedrun Triks only" what should you search for ?
@@games5fun Ah gotcha. Yeah I don't think you could search directly for tricks only. I would probably try and figure out the date that the stream took place somehow and then look at the vod on that date. Best of luck haha
When Hikaru gets the duck lips and head bob starts speeding up, its time for the opponent to resign
hahahahaha very good bro
Accurate
SO ACCURATE HAHAH I LOVE HIS EXPRESSION
I wonder how many times Hikaru has been reported playing these speedruns.
" this guy is either cheating or one of the best players in the world"
I love the inventive nature of the thumb nails for these videos. Hikaru you never disappoint.
it’s his editor that does all the work
Now we need Hikaru as Chandra Nalaar cosplay

A '27 Honda Civic?? I knew this guy had a time machine.
Hikaru motivated me to play chess. Today I finally defeated Wally bot. I lost to him like 200 times. I am very happy today. 🥳🥳 .
Nice, I just played him n won
I crush like bug

I remember when TricksR4Kids was a low 500, what a journey this guy has gone through to reach 2900!!!
This channel is literally the only channel i’ll ever fully watch the intro to. Props to your YT editor.
and watch untill the end
True!!!!!
I EVEN REPEAT THE INTRO, NEVER DONE THAT IN ANY OTHER CHANNEL 😅
This tricks only series was an awesome idea. The intro is catchy too😂
I think it’s really funny to hear Hikaru’s q&a about streamer pay, I don’t know where people gained the impression very top viewing streamers weren’t making good money when you hear “thanks for the sub” quite often.
Right? Many streamers even have their sub count in plain view on stream lol. Like come on, just do the math.
34:18 ?? Take with the pawn? That's a queen. Don t mess this up
Hikaru: sac's 5 points of material and wins against a 2400
Me: has a 3 point advantage in and endgame and still loses against a 1200
12:11 sicilian smith-Morra sack play
that intro is always fucking amazing
Yes indeed. I wanted to write the same sentence. :)
yes what is that song
@@satyam6585 schhh - bonkers beat club
I didnt know chandra was a GM and your editor likes magic
When chandra loses she just burns the chess set
i was watching this video fully immersed really fascinated by the games till i realised i was literally in chat typing catjams the entire time oh deer sometimes my mind is totally somewhere else
LOL
That game full of sacs was a total mayhem.
The intro Is amazing and the content is sooooo gooood
Hikaru you are a monster bro, its really amazing how fast and good at calculating you are. I wish i can be half as good as you some day, goal is fide master. I played 2 years and im 2200 lichess and was 2100 blitz, now 2050 blitz with some bad games.

How did you reach 2200 in 2 years thogh?
I'm busy flexing on the 1200s in hyper bullet.
Whoever does all your thumbnails and all your intros needs a raise, what a fucking good job everytime
funny to hear that people in chat, that probably just have a normal income say that 8Mil for top streamer is not much.
Shows how little they understand about it. Its litterally so much money that they have no idea what the number means.
I used to play the Smith Morra Gambit, but not any more. I like playing the Alapin, and the Kopec System.
37:21 Cyberpunk Cat is one of the most op crowd controllers in the game
So now we have had art from Rowan Kenrith, someone from Kamigawa, and now Chandra Nalaar in the thumbnail art
i love hikaru and his editors
editoR*
Hikarus editor needs a pay rise.
That's the best intro I have seen in a long time 👍🏻
2:35 "This guy is amazing" At what exactly? I swear its like a cult
The hippo is my go to as black right now. Saw my rating climb from 600’s to 1000 for the first time! I’m coming for you Hikaru!
Those Morra games were cool
Never said this before but I love you bro. Your just what chess needed.
eyyyy thats a magic the gathering phot they used for the thumbnail. cool
(chandra nalaar if anyone was wondering)
Hikaru, I wish you get back into Classical over-the-board chess. I just know if you really focus we could see you in the top 5 in the world.
Hikaru is in the top 10 highest chess players ever. I think he knows what he is doing.
@@caelboysen4603 You are mistaken. He is currently rated number 19 in the world with a 2736 classical rating. I just want him to get back up there.
He seems to be pretty happy doing this, dancing around. Maybe it was too much stress being top 5?
To get back to top 5 classical he would need to dedicate an immense amount of time to it. Personally, I much prefer him spending that time creating content for us to enjoy. He's already proven himself by making it to number 2 in the world.
Classical is boring to many. Hikaru is more bullet and blitz
Gotta love the Chandra Hikaru thumbnail
When he finally says his position is good.
I thought Hikaru was going to play MTG Arena
0:01 - DOUBLE wooden shield?!
Hikaru wins : u win a lot my dude here's +1 elo
victory bobbing technique = bob right, bob left, bob straight, look at chat
Best chess series on RUclips
How does he get those effects on the pieces when they move?
I skipped forward 2 hours and it's still rolling his intro
im gonna miss this intro.. the purple board and gfx.. this is probably the last episode :(((
Thank you for you dedication sir
The intro is BOMB 💥💯
Wait what? After all these 15 minute snippits you drop a big boy on us? Damn editor I wanna try what you've been smoking chief
Second MTG thumbnail, Hikaru MTG arch coming soon????
Damn son where did you get those
Did you guys see him go up against a 777 rated player before it got cut?
Yup
Hikaru has a heavy roll
33:54 theres a matrix in the glitch xD
Me : The thumbnail is god level
Editor: yes I eat leaves
I thought this speedrun was ended
Tbh the intro is amazing the games he plays are better
idk why but i love the intros XD
🔥🔥🔥
26:53 he said some whack stuff
Bruhh the Texas comment at 39:32
@Hikaru why at 16 58 u took with bishop if u took with queen then queen a7 checkmate??
Is this the same person who played bullet chess at the speed of light... ?? 🤔
When he hits you with a “he played very well” 💪 “for 1800” 😐
😂
4:40 You can't "talk" run-on sentences lmao. run-on sentence is when there's a lack of punctuation to connect sentences
Magic the Gathering thumbnail!
Chandra in thumbnail bringed me here
whats the animation for the pieces and how does he get the red to kinda glow
Hikaru, Heart of Fire
critical role is a group of voice actors that play dungeons and dragons
I felt so sad that they didn’t know who CR was lol
the intro is so cool
12:11 - 15:12 sac sac sac and sac and free queen.
Hikaru, the pyromage
You're so great
Thank u for teaching us how to play chess
ok that intro is fire
Does someone know where we can get the songs ?
Trick is that Hikaru always win?
Wait these pictures... did you photoshop Hikaru's face on the planeswalkers Jaya and Chandra? I didn't know you were into MTG.
This guy is a badass
Give your editor a raise
Who is on the thumbnail? Chandra the Pyromancer?
Loved the intro song
Why no more titled tuesday videos
The MTG background lol
The wooden shields
Hikaru, do you play Magic The Gathering?
How did it jump from speedtun 7 to 40?
This is tricks only not bullet
Read the title again
What’s the song @ 15 minute mark?
Heftiges intro Bruder
Hikaru is OP
the intro is so ridiculous lmao
Erm... Is this recording old? Or are people actually, still talking about the leak?
21:29 knight c7??
26:52 lol
BEAST!!!
3 views 15 likes, nice
Or sack the bishop at d7 and then queen h7 win
21:29 doesn't Nc7 win a rook?
Nope. Black can play Qb2+. If Kh3, Bf5 is mate. If Bf2, Rxe1, Qxe1, and the a8 rook can escape. If the king goes anywhere on the first rank, Rxe1+ anyway, Qxe1 and the a8 rook can again move somewhere else.
Yeah what he said...
These back to back 15 second ads need to gtfo
Hello, 850 here. At 21:28, why wouldn’t white play nC7?
Qb2+, then you can trade rooks on e1 with check and move the a8 rook to safety. If king moves to h3 after Qb2+ then Bf5 is mate.
@@baconpancakez thanks
Not bad!
does anybody know under which title these games are streamed on twitch ?
You mean like the name of his twitch channel? It's just GMHikaru. If you mean what title the vod is named I'm not sure.
