Bro, props to the mods who added the country jam when Hikaru said he was looking for the Garth Brooks song… seriously laughing so hard. One of the best things I’ve seen on a RUclips video. Priceless.
It really surprised me when Hikaru played the Grob, it is such a fundamental and challenging opening to play. Almost certainly he will play the Grob in the candidates and have to pay the money.
25:30 am I missing something or did he have a clean fork on e5 before nf3? He got it anyway but he had it a tempo earlier. Even if e5 qxd4 qxd4 nxd4 exf6 he's up a knight for a pawn
That fork won’t do anything coz ur Queen is hanging Too So Both players will Lose their Queen Instead hikaru tried To win without actually Forking And taking hies Queen coz he was just below 1000
well, to be fair he is the second highest rated player in the world, so unless he is playing big maggy, by definition he is playing a "weaker" player xD
something random out of his stream besides if he would really be preping he probably wouldnt reveal that on stream anyways maybe he tries to make his opponents think he is not very serious who knows
@@nomecognome1221 it's sort of an anti preparation. 1 you're playing openings you wouldn't normally use against super gm meaning the sGM's teams have very little to look at. 2 since he's playing unpopular openings he gets to "just play chess" rather then focusing on openings and maybe he finds that more valuable in the long run since most sgm have opening theory memorized up to like move 15-20. 3 600s tend to play moves similar to 2800s the only difference is they do it by accident and then they end blundering there pieces. Etc
Hikaru is so confident in his preparation for the candidates that he even dares play against the wild 600 rated players, very brave.

Garth Rooks, what a fantastic username!
Hikaru's opponents: trying their hardest to avoid mate in five.
Hikaru: maybe I should now play some Shania Twain country music.
Ahh yes… prepping for the candidates against 600 rated players
This is what he thinks of the super gms, so up himself
add 5 600's and you get a 3000 :D
Love your speedruns, thanks for another one! Can we also get the final Tricks Only Speedrun video? Thanks!
16:16 Hikaru is not thinking of moves, he is choosing a country song to play

We keep seeing this Hikaru player for two streams straight now, can you please pick another chess character next time you play this video game?
Waiting for them to lower his stats to make unusable
Danya is a pretty OP character too
when i watch hikaru intros i usually get the vibe i am watching some sort of a comedy movie just to realize its chess
20:10 weird checkmate but he found it in a split second :o
This one I saw it as well in a split second (by chance)
imagine if someone on hikaru’s team goes through these openings and finds some new ideas that makes one of them actually viable for the candidates
Fun fact: The intro was released at the time Hikaru played his first Candidates Tournament (in 2016) and "I don't care" is part of the main verse.
song name?

Hikaru, if it’s not close, like you’ve secured the win or are a couple points behind first, please play the bong cloud in the later rounds
Do the 500 rated players even realize that they have just lost to the World No.1 Blitz player?!😂
Once we know who gets the final spot, can we get a “new challenger approaching” graphic?
Florida man prepares for prestigious chess tournament by playing against low rated players whilst listening to country music.
subtle jab at Fabiano. lol
It would be such a flex for Hikaru to just style on someone during the candidates using one of these openings.
Turn this into a Kadas Attack speedrun. I managed to Kadas my way at 1000 then got blasted cuz I'm bad.
It really surprised me when Hikaru played the Grob, it is such a fundamental and challenging opening to play. Almost certainly he will play the Grob in the candidates and have to pay the money.
Rapport is good for the game !!! Love his style !!
It's all maskirovka and smoke screen to get Hikaru to win Candidates while at the same time provide content on Twitch and RUclips. Brilliant.
25:30 am I missing something or did he have a clean fork on e5 before nf3? He got it anyway but he had it a tempo earlier. Even if e5 qxd4 qxd4 nxd4 exf6 he's up a knight for a pawn
No cap, this channel has the best intros on youtube.
“Florida man goes crazy at chess event and beats the world champion”
9:37 quicker mate by b4 and then Qb7#
I'm fully expecting the Jerome and Orthoscnapps gambits in the candidates, Hikaru.
Hikaru: "Never heard of Garbage". Proceeds to play garbage.
The super smash bros melee overlay is so clean
I'm addicted to the theme song 😭
love the intro
was this intro song just chosen because it says "you act as if you don't care"? still a bop, not complaining
Theory monkeys 🐒 , sounds good 😂 , I can't lie I am not the one😁😅
Dude your editor is the greatest editor on RUclips easy..
How playing blitz games against 600 elo players can help in the candidates?
How can this 5 hudreds be so solid?
500s are 500s because they blunder, not because their opponents exploit positional weaknesses
@9:39 b4 ..., Qb7# would have been faster.
I wouldnt miss a chance to take a picture with him. So sadge :/
I want ‘I Literally Don’t Care’ merch!
love the intro
ikr
We do have respect for You! LEGEND!
Second best intro behind bonglcloud speedrun
That Garth Brooks song he put on sounded way more like Garth Rooks.
I wouldn’t wanna play against Fabi either. So much prep there!
Duda looks like a young Charlie Puth
Hikaru world champion 😎
Intro is so lit✅💯💯❤️
I'm just giving an idea... Try a premove only speedrun
Ah yes extreme bullet
Asian bullet
XD
(I hope i dont offend someone
And i myself is asian)
Hikaru should get yoked and tatted and show up to the candidates exactly as in the thumbnail
fischer style commentary right there
"ian nepomniachtchi world championship runner up" brutal
I came here just for the intro! GL!
where is part 1?
Intro was epic
What song is that?????
Mess by Rain Jewels ft. Lilla
27:39 Did he miss ne7 or was just confident enough to win without the fork
That fork won’t do anything coz ur Queen is hanging Too So Both players will Lose their Queen Instead hikaru tried To win without actually Forking And taking hies Queen coz he was just below 1000
@@savitarcodm9635?????????????????
It means he was confident
The intro is top
TFW Hikaru doesn’t think Benko is good enough for OTB play 😔
Hey, what Garry Brooks song is that? Lmao!!!
The intro,damnn
What is candidates and why are they preparing?
Chess Tournment, winner challanges magnus carlsen for best chess player.
What does that P1 mean??
Player 1
Gonna need to add ding to intro
People saying Ding was playing weak players... Wei Yi is NOT weak by any definition of the word
Zhang Zhong, Bu , Yu Yangyi, Wei Yi and Wang Hao are 2650+ - 2700+ levels.
well, to be fair he is the second highest rated player in the world, so unless he is playing big maggy, by definition he is playing a "weaker" player xD
Intro song?
It's written in the intro go check it out
@@con_el_maestro3544 thanks bro
Love the intro, very excited for a new speedrun but no offense ngl I think the concept isn't very interesting to watch
How many times was dog said in that convo 😭
man i can not wait
GL GM Hikaru!
Will he play the olympiads this year?
I love this anime-like opening :D
We need Ding in the intro!
Intro songs name pleaseee
12:47 how can listening to country music make everybody lose respect for you?
oh nvm he answered the question
GMHikaru x YouTooz collab?
and that kid was elon musk
I wonder if Hikaru has been taking his preparation for the candidates seriously.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t do well in it.
I don't understand what is this series? Why is he preparing for a tournament against 600 rated players?
something random out of his stream besides if he would really be preping he probably wouldnt reveal that on stream anyways maybe he tries to make his opponents think he is not very serious who knows
