I think he means like his prof chess career, like, participating in many tournaments and study much chess and all that. He, i think, never told he would stop streaming. He can still, without being a super mega prof player, crush everyone online and stream chess and other games. Well, at least i hope thats what he meant.

I love these highly educational videos where you focus on explaining the reasoning behind your moves. Very helpful and also entertaining. More of this please!
700 elo took me 4 months to get through, i got to 900 in a week after hitting 800. 700 elos really are just cracked. i swear at least 60% of the games they play above a 1200 elo level
Same dude, identical story lol. I was bouncing around 650-750 ELO for a month, then busted through to 850 winning 27 of my most recent 30. I've improved a bit through that time, though it's the strangest thing!
What youre saying might sound nonsensical but it is true for a very clear reason. 700s are not 700 because of a skill issue, theyre 1200s that just blunder a piece in 40% of their games, and as for the other 60% yea theyre at a "cracked" 1200 level. But remains 700 elo because of their one move blunders that they do so often
Yesterday I played so many games where my opponents didn't take my queen that was captured and doesn't have space to run away I'm so bad at tactical and strategy in this game I just saw some opponents mistake and took advantage of it and that's it. I'm just a chill guy
On Fischer Random, I don't think it will ever overtake Classical, however it can be a great supplement, and also a way to give the elite players a prepping break. IMO
Fisher-random is super appealing to a player like me. It's the raw memorization of all those openings that I'm not good at. Having a random board would be great.
@ GM Hikaru, the comment is 100% true! Thank you for teaching us how to play chess-priceless. "Stop saying the end of your career is coming soon, you don't have any replacements in our hearts😢"
17:02 I agree with this take I like playing chess cuz I played it with my dad I don't want to play Fisher random unless I'm feeling particularly interest and even still I never play it
You are my favorite chess player GM Hikaru! Your style of play is amazing and you will always be the fastest chess player in the world (at least for me). Greetings from Venezuela by the way!🇻🇪♟️👋🏼 I'm a newbie at chess but you know what they say "practice makes perfect" :v ⚡
As somebody who discovered chess later in life (and is still learning the fundamentals), I just want to thank you, Hikaru, for posting videos like this. They're unbelievably useful and really help players develop. It's a real privilege to have this unique blend of mastery and entertainment on demand, and it's all because you bother to put it out there.
Great educational video, and also lots of insights into Hikaru in general, like the why behind the QxC terminology. I'm a bit annoyed by the amount of smurfing there is on cc at the moment, apparently. Not even one of those lower-rated opponents was playing their actual ELO.
Hikaru says he doesn't talk politics because that's not what his channel is about, yet we still can't keep it out of the comments. Every time I start reading Hikaru's comments, I see nothing but monsters like you posting about this extremely polarizing and divisive political topic, refusing to allow us even a short break from thinking about it. You know what's worse than that though? Given that you're speaking of the most important matter of our generation - perhaps even the most difficult problem humanity has had to face in this modern age - I could _almost_ forgive you for making this post. _Almost._ After all, it's constantly on all of our minds. We just can't help but think about it. Admittedly, it's pretty dang hard to _not_ talk about something that's so pervasive throughout our society, so intrusive in our thoughts and minds - even when we shouldn't. But when I saw what you wrote, I knew for a *fact* that you were making that post for no other reason than to hurt all of us. You wanted to be sure that we couldn't have even an hour of respite from the brutal truth of the world we live in. You wanted to utterly destroy what helps keep us sane; the fantasy of pretending, if only for a moment, that we live in a world where it simply *doesn't matter* if you wear socks to bed or not. A world where people *don't care* one way or the other. Well you can't fool me, sir. Do you know how I figured out that your evil plan was to post the most brutal combination of both rage bait and sad bait at the same time? Because I know for a *fact* that you're objectively wrong and that you know it too! If you've tried sleeping both with _and_ without socks, then you already know that the best sleep is only possible when you take your socks off right before laying down. You've simply *gotta* let them little piggies out to play at night! They've got stuff to do! Anyone who says that socks to bed is the best sleep possible has either never tried sleeping in their bare feet, or they're a big fat *FIBBER!* And you sir, are a fibber. Have you no shame? Have you none? For shame, sir. For shame. Bare feet to bed = Even better best sleep of all time possible. The bestest. Anyone who disagrees is the basest! Let them piggies out! 😅
My good Hikaru, there are 50 states of STARCRAFT, but there’s no checkers with stripes (there are pool balls, though). 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😢😢😢😢😅😅😅🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂
Did you look at the game? Move 7 he allowed mate in two, that his opponent missed. That 2000 rated opponent was seemingly trying to lose. I don’t think he’s cheating.
i dont wanna learn from you
Tulok
Then don't
Then stay 500 elos lmao
Bro commenting like someone forced him to learn from him only 😂
You have an odd comment history, why did you randomly comment "dog"
"There's some drama around it but let's not get into that" - Hikaru before always getting into the drama.

I had the pleasure of playing with Hikaru the other day, ofc he crushed me easily but it was fun.
Lol imagine getting crushed by Hikaru
@@hiphoponeworldunless your name is Magnus Carlsen you will get crushed by Hikaru

Was irritated by the ratings, my opponents play other turns, more diffiicut.

I mean it's true think of how u Talkin with normal people and talking with ur crush it looks different right? Same as playing chess lol
Hikaru never fails to roast Kramnik 😂😂
Its 30 mins since the video released and video is 1hr long wtf are u talking bro
@insanexd69 you need some sense of humer to understand never mind bro chill
@@dhruvkootal4237 ur sense of humour is 6ft deep 😐 don’t even think about replying
@@insanexd69 then why are you replying buddy, again - Just Chill don't bother
@6:30 thats true, Levy hides the opponents names so it'd be less pressure if he is playing against GM or not!

Same it took me almost 2-3 weeks to go above 720 elo and only 4-5 days from 800 to 900
ur just trash dude i got 900 just starting out xd
when I was 800elo I made a new account and managed to stay around 1100. then I locked in and am currently 1800

''oh! that's a botez gambit'' gets me every time lol
Yesterday I played so many games where my opponents didn't take my queen that was captured and doesn't have space to run away
I'm so bad at tactical and strategy in this game
I just saw some opponents mistake and took advantage of it and that's it.
I'm just a chill guy
15:05 how he casually locked in and won the game in 20 seconds of play and 5 seconds of thought then proceeding to talk to chat is hilarious to me
5:15 The pawn structure was named from the chess tournament in Karlsbad, Czechoslovakia 1923.
44:50 no, Europeans renamed the minister as queen. It made perfect sense that king remains idle and minister manages all the crucial stuff.
On Fischer Random, I don't think it will ever overtake Classical, however it can be a great supplement, and also a way to give the elite players a prepping break. IMO
"pawn thrusting sounds a little bit dirty" lmaoooo
Thanks!
This is great. Saving this for later forsure thanks Hikaru
Fisher-random is super appealing to a player like me. It's the raw memorization of all those openings that I'm not good at. Having a random board would be great.
The Botez gambit seems very strong always causes problems.
Man is locked in
Why do people always ask if Levy can become GM 😂😂
@ GM Hikaru, the comment is 100% true! Thank you for teaching us how to play chess-priceless. "Stop saying the end of your career is coming soon, you don't have any replacements in our hearts😢"
I love Hikaru's childlike personality at heart despite being so wise and mature.
As an italian, i can tell you that the “fianchetto”, especially the “che” has to be pronounced like “ca” in the word “cake”
my thanks to Dr. Professor Hikaru Nakamura
more of this please
7:05 "tickle the horse"
17:02 I agree with this take I like playing chess cuz I played it with my dad I don't want to play Fisher random unless I'm feeling particularly interest and even still I never play it
A LOT OF INFORMATION IN THIS VIDEO THANK U G !
Compared to a similar video a few years ago, it seems that opponents have become muche better (relatively to their ELO rating)
Master Nakamura is the chess version of Master Yoda.
"Not the brightest tool"-Hikaru
“h5 is a terrible move here…..ok now I’m going to play h5 and tickle this horse” 😂😂
Andrea Botez is more of a comedy streamer than a chess streamer 😂
When you break it all down at the end of the day, we are all just fancy animals very much living in an animal kingdom.
You are my favorite chess player GM Hikaru! Your style of play is amazing and you will always be the fastest chess player in the world (at least for me). Greetings from Venezuela by the way!🇻🇪♟️👋🏼

Long live the competitive spirit!
ngl i kinda prefer 10 minute rapid for these instructive videos, either way great video, hikaru's the best
8:16 The reason why he can't take it this way because he will lose the "Juicer" hm.. sound familiar..
Eric koston playing chess like a serious grandmaster, wow👏👏👏👏🤣😂🤗🤗
next video: learn with hikaru how to defend like a hb
Thanks i learned something new
The track at 27:10 is surely a copy of Roygbiv from Boards of Canada.
Hikaru can you tell us when is your next classical tournament?
"try to tickle this horse" @7:07
We wqnt more content of professor h
It is the most valuable content to learn from ,
So please do more , 🙏
Love you Hickey
this needs to be a pin of shame @GMHkaru
@ boo 👎👎
Bro gave him a hickey
professor h is fantastic
This is gold! So instructive to my tiny 1100-rated mind :) Thank you HK!!
Fischer Random can be appealing to 1500s because you end up in positions that you don't get in regular chess. That's fun for anyone.
Great lesson by prof naka 😂😊
Bro compete with flash ⚡
Hawk tuah 🗣️
25:50 ohh this guy is from Madagascar
If you see this comment brother, I wanna just greet you

you attac
you protec
and, of course,
you chec
🙄 'freestyle' was so funny at the start..
More of this educational format please. Also I disagree, Fischer random is the future
Players when prof H plays them : " pawn move hahahahah "
Players when I play against them : " takes takes takes takes Nf8 checkmate "
Great educational video, and also lots of insights into Hikaru in general, like the why behind the QxC terminology. I'm a bit annoyed by the amount of smurfing there is on cc at the moment, apparently. Not even one of those lower-rated opponents was playing their actual ELO.
Correction: learn to attack 1 one hundredth the strength of Hikaru nikimaru
1:07 did I hear bro saying juicer??
W tushi reference then
damn the pin of shame hurts 😂😂
Imagine being a 484 elo and encounter Hikaru himself. I would've stopped playing
Thanks for what you do, Hikaru -- much appreciated You're a very likeable person!
I am here for the chess and stayed for the commentary
Very useful video. Thanks Hikaru!
socks to bed = best sleep possible , if you say no and havent tried that makes no sense cuz your experience is the base 😂😅🎉🎉😅
