In the silence I could hear Hikaru’s brain saying “this is completely winning for me. I’m completely winning here. Yeah this is completely winning for black”
This is so much more entertaining than actual national/international competition. Great players, great commentary(trash talk), hardly ever ends in a draw.
@@RaterisimoCBA that’s like saying an amateur boxer didn’t put up a good fight if he lasted 12 rounds against Floyd Mayweather in his prime. Of course Hikaru has less time, he’s literally one of the best chess players in the world
@@Epyxoid u're missing the point , you're not "doing good" , doing good would be having 60 seconds yourself and lose by a couple of peons , that would be doing good. Otherwise they all just got smashed, which is fine cause like u said he is a GM.
He needs to restore his image after the chessbae affair and he is doing it in the best way possible, making himself available to 'normal' players - as you said - and committing in the classical format arena after a two years hyatus. The guy is a fighter, no doubt about it.
I looked at the philidor counter gambit game, and Hikaru lost in this opening with black to a guy rated 200 points lower than him in 2010, according to Lichess database Which is why, I imagine, he knows it so well
Good luck beating hikaru when he has a minute or more on the clock, but imagine being so good that you take hikaru to the point where he only has a slight adv of your doubled pawn structure.
Litrraly years of experience in every opening, and skill. Openings aren't all memory, they have methods of seeing ideas in openings they've never seen before.
That old Paul Morphy fan guy really loves the game of chess.. it seems from his comments and constant evaluation of all the games played in the coffee chess arena.
We have some old chess players and they always look down to young players. They know everything even when we beat them down but in their youth they couldnt even achieve NM.
Yea, It was a good fight. He was playing till pretty deep endgame. There is a huge difference between an amatuer player even a lot experienced and masters, GMs.
For the new comers, who wish to play chess please inform the steps as which one we should move and other steps to follow. So it will be easy for us to learn from you giants.... Thank you
This is a genuine question: Is trash talking like....a part of chess culture? I see a lot of videos of guys talking trash to him but he is always so calm and focused. Is street just just like...jovial trash talk that doesnt ACTUALLY mean anything but Hikaru is classically trained and therefore more posied? or like are these people just genuinely rude and hikaru is polite?
In the silence I could hear Hikaru’s brain saying “this is completely winning for me. I’m completely winning here. Yeah this is completely winning for black”
"OH no I blundered!!! I'm a moron. Why am I playing such bad chess?" In the same breath 🤣
"Yes we go takes takes takes check takes takes and this is just a winning end game"
" takes takes takes and winning"
"I'm so bad in chess..."
This is so much more entertaining than actual national/international competition. Great players, great commentary(trash talk), hardly ever ends in a draw.
it's entertaining if you're following the games in your mind
I'm not that good at chess but can watch Hikaru play all day
we love winners, no matter what the physical flaws, awkward personalities, winners are above criticism
Well he certainly put up a good fight
Considering he has 5 minutes when Ikkaru has only 1 minute .. uhm I don't know , maybe ? Lol
@@RaterisimoCBA that’s like saying an amateur boxer didn’t put up a good fight if he lasted 12 rounds against Floyd Mayweather in his prime. Of course Hikaru has less time, he’s literally one of the best chess players in the world
Yeah, that's just a dumb statement. Try to last as long as him against Hikaru even with one hour on the clock. Good luck with that...

@@RaterisimoCBA well considering that Hikaru *is* a GM. The second guy *did* put up a good fight.
Love these games with the coffee chess crew and time odds. So entertaining.
Those window box seats to watch the action go down- damn that’s a choice/juicy location!
Imagine how much SPEEEEEED he would have with his pineapple shirt
These guys wasn't worth having a match with the pineapple shirt
I’ve seriously heard that pineapples are used by swingers as a code so they can recognise each other. For example at the door mat
@@TheRovardotter you learn something new everyday
"I should be better here"....hikaru brain in silence ❤
Hikaru is the best. Always makes himself available to public and is so entertaining.

Wow
What was the time format?
you run a million scenarios in your head in seconds
The first oldman clearly overestimated himself, didn't know when to quit 😂
The guy was referring to Hikaru's opening when he said "I don't like this one".
love that octopus guy from spiderman always watching in the backround
Good luck beating hikaru when he has a minute or more on the clock, but imagine being so good that you take hikaru to the point where he only has a slight adv of your doubled pawn structure.
What do you expect he is also a master level player. So even NMs can bring a good fight against a GM
I mean he’s a national master with 5x the time on the clock
Well fought Butchy Boy, my favourite CC player 👌
Hikaru has that sarcastic smirk on his face because he knows already that he will win.
2:08 "Oh scheiße!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gonna miss this after you move Hikaru 😭
Gentleman in the back really rocking some extravagant sweater designs.
Excellent game..!! like that he waited until Ke2... kicked the knight away with b4 took the pawn on d4.. then brought the Bishop back..
I like how he had a millisecond of disappointment before seeing the checkmate😂
Butcher played really well!!
that second guy held up pretty well
The second game is amazing 🔥🔥
That first game was so satisfying. Nothing like seeing a trash talker get his ass handed to him. LOL
Oh scheiße
In 10 seconds 😂
Jesus Christ, Morphy Bob…that f-ing sweater 😂
At the end 'is this endgame boss" lol.
Indeed
I would love to see Hikaru play with no time odds against all the best Masters in the room helping each other at the same time.
Numbers don't really help you in chess. Better to have a single coherent strategy. *looks at the Opera Game*
@@briankarcher8338 That's exactly what I want to see in such a contest. Thanks for amplifying my point.
It would not matter if they were significantly lower-rated. Like, even five 2400s would not beat a 2700-2800.
Unless 1 of the master name is stockfish
"was this endgame lost" lol
When ever i look away from the board...it's not because i'm remembering a previous game, it's because i saw a squirrel.
When the spectator shows his absurd Vienna knowledge at 3:02
@Jaden Bowden what? why? he's just passionate at chess
Hikaru is so nice that play and share with every body.
Great guy.👍
hikaru playing faster then an anime could ever bring a story about chess
first guy against boston mike would be fun, just for the trash talk
First guys trash talk went silent real quick :D
Hikaru did the first guy dirty
"How dare you, in front of people!"
The first game was crazy. I don't know how chess masters know every single opening in chess
because they see them once and never forget it xD
They have downloadable ram options in their head
Litrraly years of experience in every opening, and skill. Openings aren't all memory, they have methods of seeing ideas in openings they've never seen before.
Pattern recognition
@@andrewmadilecy5704 it is actually all memory
Naka Ultra Instinct mode
Hikaru on Coffee Chess is the best!! ❤️
I think I rewatched the shizen part like ten times
boston mike would floor these amatuers
The legends said hikaru is still seated there...
I wanna see Hikaru vs morphy bob
Hikaru is an insanely talented player
That old Paul Morphy fan guy really loves the game of chess.. it seems from his comments and constant evaluation of all the games played in the coffee chess arena.
Hikaru plays surprisingly well without a roof over his head 🤔
bro..i've been waiting all my life that you beat magnus
We have some old chess players and they always look down to young players. They know everything even when we beat them down but in their youth they couldnt even achieve NM.
Yea, It was a good fight. He was playing till pretty deep endgame. There is a huge difference between an amatuer player even a lot experienced and masters, GMs.
It feels like in the second game the pawn could have been saved with a move like a3 or b4 , don't know what could have gone wrong after
The pawn can't be defended because you don't have time the threat of rd2 is stronger
I sometimes dont get how the games finish
I love Hikaru but I would also love to see him blunder a win to someone and make their day.
1:09 Hikaru created a nice position.. that's only 10 seconds to set.
because he knows the idea behind. He already played it.
One WEIRD Trick to Beat National Masters!!
The looks at 7:40 of "just give up buddy"
Amazing! How much freaking coffee does he drink during these haha
Your so relaxed and unassuming... I'd come to the board snorting coke and drinking whisky with swagger!
7:16 GM Hikaru when he went from h7 to h5 with the pawn was the not a moment when you could've enforced en passant rule?
Find a job you love and you'll never do a day's work in your life. I watch with admiration and a smidgen of envy.
Great GM
Draw all pieces. Let the clock finish the game. Hikaru's opponent is dumb.
Imagine magnus doing this they would cry
Magnus is not as fast as Hikaru tho, that 5 min to 1 advantage Hikaru gives could make Magnus lose by time
Good fight!
this was a very informative game!!
I don’t know why people sit down with the time odds and then try to play as fast as hikaru this man at the end seemed much better for this
1st guy reminds me of robin williams
idk if that endgame was lost
2:12 Can someone explain to me why he lose? He could have moved the King to E7 or F8, that or I'm getting something wrong
His queen was going to be taken so it’s a lost. Hikaru won’t lose up a queen.
His King and Queen were forked by the Knight
He said, "I don't like this variation" not I don't like this one
That asian looking guy is a decent player.
7:18 why did hikaru not take w en passant to promote his pawn
Crazy that the normal looking Re1 leads to that loss in the second game.
chess mastery 😁when he makes the h4 move,en passant wins instantly
You should play with 3 people together against you , you use a headphone u can’t hear them , same time , will be awesome
People dont under stand hikaru is playing at crazy time odds AND hes playing theory. Wild hes so good
“People” understand.
Any tips on from NM to GM in chess?
For the new comers, who wish to play chess please inform the steps as which one we should move and other steps to follow. So it will be easy for us to learn from you giants.... Thank you
The banners for other videos comes on and covers the board! 🤨
Resistance is futile. Pineapple shirt all day!
thought white should have played e5 re1-e2 and if b4 ne2-d4. should have drawing chances. then kf2 seemed like a mistake
at the end game shouldnt have white started pushing his left side pawns up the board?
This is a genuine question: Is trash talking like....a part of chess culture? I see a lot of videos of guys talking trash to him but he is always so calm and focused. Is street just just like...jovial trash talk that doesnt ACTUALLY mean anything but Hikaru is classically trained and therefore more posied? or like are these people just genuinely rude and hikaru is polite?
Have you played much sport? Friendly trash talking is a part of most sports
Couldn’t Hikaru Nakamura en passant the pawn on the right side at 7:17 and get a queen? 😅
How was first game mate?
Why didn’t Hikaru capture en passant at 07:18?
@@pepperwestwood I realised later on! Im an idiot
1:00 may someone correct me if this is right, he could have played d4xc3 b2xc3, then bc4xc3 then check? (sorry if my notations suck still learning)
Well, I don't think bxc3 would ever happen. It would be losing to take back the pawn right away, and instead white can win a rook in multiple ways.
Can someone explain why king to b7 wasn’t played at 7:30
a6
And then king to b6 takes the pond
@@AK-kr9mw no I meant a6 is the threat, after d4 bc6 then a6 is unstoppable
Aww shiza
Why no piece count?
What chess set is that? Can anyone link me?
Hey guys I am new to chess in that 1st game where is the mate?
Wow great video watched the whole thing👍
No, that’s not true, that’s impossible!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol he’s a spy from Chessbrah don’t trust a word he says:)
I really like hikaru
5:24 why didn’t he take with the pawn?
Same question. I can't see why he took with the queen
It looks so easy
The Vienna gambit?? Was that a joke?
No it's an actual opening in chess
Good game
Is the board set up correctly at 2:24?
yes
Set up correctly? *Yes*
Labeled correctly by manufacturer? *No*
