What a man child. He's smurfing, which is so disheartening for newbie players to just get railed by a GM that sacs his queen for content then gets mad when he doesn't get to crush a noob.
I watch these "speedruns" for entertainment and I'm part of the problem in that regard, but goddamn it IS annoying for a majority of players facing smurfs in any type of game. I've met a couple pros in Rocket League, and it's disheartening af for my teammates. Some have even jumped on other games after the match cus other high rated players want to give smurfing/speedruns with/without stipulations a go as well to see how they fare. In general it's toxic, I give cred to Naroditsky for doing it in order to teach other people and not for content alone and doesn't overdo it. How many "speedruns" has Hikaru had now? 10+? It's a bit much tbh despite the fact I find it entertaining which I understand is hypocritical of me to think. I personally find it fun to face better people regardless but 100% understand those that don't (ESPECIALLY not in a game like chess), and for this reason I'd rather people just play at their level seeing how many people they face that didn't sign up for this shit. Most want to play people at their level, learn and grow with the time they have. Win/lose doesn't matter as long as it's fair play. I got time on my hands but most people can't just sit down for hours a day to play a game. And then to get utterly destroyed when they find time in their schedule sucks. It doesn't matter if you get the rating back, time is still wasted on nothing and the fun has been taken away. It was great to see how it felt for them for once.

Funny how Hikaru actually is dumb in prob all other things in life but so intelligent chesswise. Just shows that intelligence does not mean you are intelligent in all things.
I'm curious on why do you guys think that only streamers should have the right to create smurfs. Yeah they get their elo points back, but they still waste time playing someone who they have no chance to beat, so he complaining about this is at least hypocritical. Also he assumed the guy was 2000 for just playing some basic developing moves lol, hikaru sacrifices his queen for a pawn and then proceeds to allow a bunch of trades
This this this. From the perspective of the new players getting smashed, they don't understand what's going on, just that they got blown off the board in a humiliating fashion. Saying "they get their elo points back" is a bullshit excuse

@@unmaskedvirtuoso2270 the phrase itself is self explanatory but i was referring to the context of this use case. But if you're saying that to be snarky then i guess you should need to touch grass effectively.
Does anyone know what Elo he was trying to get to in the speed run? If he was trying to surpass the Elo this person plays at then I can't fathom why he would even complain.
He got way above 2000 sacing his queen, as soon as he got suspicious he just played bad moves (to many trades, not going for active ideas, jusr crying and not putting up resistance)
I seriously don't understand why people are upset at Hikaru. He's obviously being dishonest about not caring but the smurf literally went out of their way to make chaos out of something that was supposed to just be a little fun content. This kinda like pointless trolling.
I don't hate Hikaru, in fact I have tremendous respect for his chess ability. But I do think it's hilariously hypocritical to ridicule beginners and weaker players by giving them a queen for nothing as an elite player and then get mad when in one of those game you face a smurf yourself
I hate this argument. It does do harm to the other player. The other player doesn’t know it’s a smurf. The other player probably just wanted to play a game against someone of their skill. The the other player probably thought they played a cheater then it ruined their day. Don’t say it does no harm to the other player.
Hikaru is not smurfing, it is a speedrun account. Difference is that opponents dont lose rating, so it is not illegal. Smurfing like his opponent though is.
Why are people attacking Hikaru for this? I dont know if you have realised that he is a streamer and is doing a series for entertainment purposes. He has permission to do this so i dont understand why anyone would have a problem with this. Pretty sure you get the elo back anyways so its not nearly as deep as people make it out to be.
also these are 3/0 blitz games lmao... I mean if it was 15/0 rapid games I could see the case for "ruining somebody's day." but c'mon, a 6 minute game max... if that's all the free time you have in a whole day you probably wouldn't be playing chess during it
i mean he was pissed for good reason, yall are hating on him but hes just a human. Having someone crap on your run like that is fricking annoying. calm yourselves my friends

@@dieterschneegans1850 Bro, this is his content and is his job and the guy is just trying to disturb him for the sake of disturbing him. "no leg to stand on to complain", better think twice before you say something.
@@dieterschneegans1850 Well I mean, even as someone who defends him when people bash on him for this minor reason. I know well that Naka's ego is inflated and thats not a good thing, but I mean I'm pretty sure I've definitely seen enough of these things to the point that I would just accept it as his personality trait. Besides, I would also get a bit salty if someone took a whole 1 min and 30 secs away from my content creating job, make me reset a timer to the timestamp before a trolling game, and force me to contact server mods to reset my rating all the while during a speedrun. But if you're seeing these things for the first time, I guess I can understand your point.
Of course the reaction could have been more nicer, however, most of you are missing a critical detail: Everyone playing against Hikaru will get their points refunded by the elo system. The fact that Hikaru is smurfing doesn't exempt others from the rule. Point refunds only have been given to accounts who played against *Hikarus* smurf.
Who are we to toss and turn about "points"? It's a number. If you're not 2800 you're not gonna be a GM any time, soon, anyway. What's with this obsession with numbers? Eating disorders, chess disorders, etc. Life is bound to be terrible if you let a number determine your mood rather than moderating your mood yourself.
@@sebastianramadan8393 people check their progress, want to see how good they are or will get. People have gone from 300-800-1500. It’s important to see those numbers and if something INTENTIONALLY messes it up, people get mad. But refunding points keep people from being upsrt
@@sebastianramadan8393 well I've encountered about 15 cheater, that's about 150 elo. Even though it doesn't change my life, it's better to be 1550 instead of 1400 right?
Even if they didn't, 8 elo points is NOTHING. People are crying over Hikaru smurfing for entertainment purposes and then they're surprised when he bans a guy for trolling and ruining the whole "entertainment" aspect of the speedrun.
this video is pretty cool because Hikaru says if this guy is around 1500 then he has no chance. he really had modest expectations for this speed run. but the absolute madman made it to 2400, crushing titled players and surpassing Alexandra Botez's all time best rating. amazing work
I have seen a video that he loses to a guy and excuses him as a cheater but he’s a GM who’s very good he’s just being childish. Which is what he should’ve cared about. I hope these day he is better not just in chess but also personality.
I am so confused by this comment section. Every good chess streamer does these speedruns, their opponents get their elo back as others have mentioned, and almost all of them react to some degree when they notice smurfing and/or cheating. Some take it with slightly better humour than others, but I don't think I've seen any of them react completely positively. One thing to remember is that they're often trying to make instructional content with speedruns, so if they have to really concentrate on the game (especially here where he had to sac a full queen) it's at least understandable he wouldn't be happy. Contrast this to e.g. when Hikaru blunders on a speedrun he's actually pretty funny about it (as are other chess streamers) so I doubt this is an ego thing.
@@OfficialFOY Apologies, maybe I wasn't clear. I'm not trying to say that Hikaru is or isn't egotistical, although as you imply there's plenty of evidence that he is. My point was that I doubt this incident was about ego. I'm fairly certain he got to a pretty high rating on his queen sac Speedrun, and that he lost games on the way. If it was an ego thing, you would expect him to display similar behaviour every time he had difficulty on that run. I'm fairly sure that's not the case. The differentiating factor here is that someone essentially gatecrashed the run. Again, I'm not saying that absolutely anyone would have responded as grumpily as he did. But I don't think it's unreasonable, and I suspect other streamers might be irritated too in those circumstances.
He's smurfing, which is so disheartening for newbie players to just get railed by a GM that sacs his queen for content then gets mad when he doesn't get to crush a noob.
@@blooved4389 Yes, it's not that hard. You smurfed and it's fine, but when someone else does it, you cry? And then complaining more about it and removing their complaints?
i fw hikaru but this is being a cry baby. bro is like disgusted... streamers get sniped all the time in games. and the fact bro reported him is so weird.
Problem is, those playing hikaru's Smurf account will get their ratings refunded, because it is an official Speedrun account, but this random guys Smurf account will drain his hard earned elo(it's a botez gambit Speedrun ofc) and not get refunded if he doesn't do anything about it. So no shit he will get mad about it
@@patrickivankovic6934 So? its still progress that is hindered by an obvious troll. While yes its only at 535, but what if people keep doing it at higher levels? He has been stalling out at 2400+ elo because its too difficult to win in the higher elos.
The fact that chess com allows some people to have many accounts whilst they ban normal people for just two is ridiculous. They just do everything for money.
Awww.....the poor widdle GM losing his poor imaginary points. Cry me a damn river. Smurfing is entertaining to watch, but complete and utter BS to the victims who are just wanting a fair match.
Playing well below your rating for easy wins (Not exclusive to chess). So this guy is a GM and he's playing people who fall for the scholars mate. It's seen as pathetic and bad manners as you should be playing people your own rating.
damn was this account created just to relive this moment? just because other streamers do not show "saltiness" when the same thing happens to them does not mean it does not happen.
@@DjwiJda-tq3km wow you got all that from my initial comment? :D I think it's you, fantasizing about meat, if that's immediately where your thoughts go when you see my comment.
Guy who smurfed here vs him played two games with one being a draw and the other a win to get in elo range. Hikaru probably beat ~100 people in completely mismatched games to hit whatever the goal was. You're right that they're incomparable. Who cares about one game of elo? It's curbstomping 100 people on one of the biggest chess streams that's obnoxious.

I'm curious on why do you guys think that only streamers should have the right to create smurfs. Yeah they get their elo points back, but they still waste time playing someone who they have no chance to beat, so he complaining about this is at least hypocritical. Also he assumed the guy was 2000 for just playing some basic developing moves lol, hikaru sacrifices his queen for a pawn and then proceeds to allow a bunch of trades
Agreed. It's rude and unfair to new players to crush and humiliate them like that.
This this this. From the perspective of the new players getting smashed, they don't understand what's going on, just that they got blown off the board in a humiliating fashion. Saying "they get their elo points back" is a bullshit excuse
He forgot to put the losses at 1
The audacity to complain. He could literally just win, but nah
He wasn't going to be winning that one ... Bg4 rather wrecked his position... I do agree tho' the audacity to complain when the smurf gets smurfed.

@@spencersmith7142 i don't understand why you'd say that in this situation. How is Hikaru a toxic crybaby?
Does anyone know what Elo he was trying to get to in the speed run? If he was trying to surpass the Elo this person plays at then I can't fathom why he would even complain.
In low elo he wanted to sac a queen and play but he doesn't have a chance with no queen against a 2000. Know the context before just writing comments.
he's gotten to at least 1900 so far, but usually he sacs for knight/bishop. at these lower elos he sac'd for pawn.
@@GeekProdigyGuy he got to 2400. RUclips is very far behind.
It doesn’t matter how high he gets up to. The point is to BLUID UP to the point, and see how long that takes.
If he knew his opponent's rating he wouldn't have saced for a pawn and he would've been more careful
He got way above 2000 sacing his queen, as soon as he got suspicious he just played bad moves (to many trades, not going for active ideas, jusr crying and not putting up resistance)
2 years after this guy still piss me off in this video why smurfing if you cry about it lmao
I seriously don't understand why people are upset at Hikaru. He's obviously being dishonest about not caring but the smurf literally went out of their way to make chaos out of something that was supposed to just be a little fun content. This kinda like pointless trolling.
Oh I found the Hikaru hate community
I don't hate Hikaru, in fact I have tremendous respect for his chess ability. But I do think it's hilariously hypocritical to ridicule beginners and weaker players by giving them a queen for nothing as an elite player and then get mad when in one of those game you face a smurf yourself

He is definitely whining and crying about smurfing but his accounts refund all the elo so it technically does no harm to the other player.
I hate this argument. It does do harm to the other player. The other player doesn’t know it’s a smurf. The other player probably just wanted to play a game against someone of their skill. The the other player probably thought they played a cheater then it ruined their day.
Don’t say it does no harm to the other player.
Their rating didn’t drop, if they raged because of some guy who’s obviously smurfing or cheating then they should grow the f up.
@@Nnm26 so should Hikaru then
@@dieterschneegans1850 that wouldn't work wouldn't it, since he didn't cry about it at all.
@@Nnm26 well..
Hikaru is not smurfing, it is a speedrun account. Difference is that opponents dont lose rating, so it is not illegal. Smurfing like his opponent though is.
Why does Hikaru say everything at least twice?
Because he doesn't care
Magnus saw the stream and decided to troll hikaru
Why are people attacking Hikaru for this? I dont know if you have realised that he is a streamer and is doing a series for entertainment purposes. He has permission to do this so i dont understand why anyone would have a problem with this. Pretty sure you get the elo back anyways so its not nearly as deep as people make it out to be.
also these are 3/0 blitz games lmao... I mean if it was 15/0 rapid games I could see the case for "ruining somebody's day." but c'mon, a 6 minute game max... if that's all the free time you have in a whole day you probably wouldn't be playing chess during it
The point is he has it set up so he doesnt take elo off players
it's rude and unfair to new players to crush and humiliate them like that. It's no better than the actual smurf, get off Hikaru's dong.
Hikarus dong has to be really tasty for you to defend it like that
funniest shit ever, i have no idea why is this video not popular? , btw which stream was this , could u tell me where to find original vid?

@@dieterschneegans1850 Well I mean, even as someone who defends him when people bash on him for this minor reason. I know well that Naka's ego is inflated and thats not a good thing, but I mean I'm pretty sure I've definitely seen enough of these things to the point that I would just accept it as his personality trait. Besides, I would also get a bit salty if someone took a whole 1 min and 30 secs away from my content creating job, make me reset a timer to the timestamp before a trolling game, and force me to contact server mods to reset my rating all the while during a speedrun. But if you're seeing these things for the first time, I guess I can understand your point.
Good reason? Why because he couldn't crush people 2000 below his rating? He just got what he was doing to others.
Of course the reaction could have been more nicer, however, most of you are missing a critical detail: Everyone playing against Hikaru will get their points refunded by the elo system. The fact that Hikaru is smurfing doesn't exempt others from the rule. Point refunds only have been given to accounts who played against *Hikarus* smurf.
Who are we to toss and turn about "points"? It's a number. If you're not 2800 you're not gonna be a GM any time, soon, anyway. What's with this obsession with numbers? Eating disorders, chess disorders, etc. Life is bound to be terrible if you let a number determine your mood rather than moderating your mood yourself.
Indeed, age is just a number 😎
@@sebastianramadan8393 people check their progress, want to see how good they are or will get. People have gone from 300-800-1500. It’s important to see those numbers and if something INTENTIONALLY messes it up, people get mad. But refunding points keep people from being upsrt
@@sebastianramadan8393 well I've encountered about 15 cheater, that's about 150 elo. Even though it doesn't change my life, it's better to be 1550 instead of 1400 right?
Even if they didn't, 8 elo points is NOTHING. People are crying over Hikaru smurfing for entertainment purposes and then they're surprised when he bans a guy for trolling and ruining the whole "entertainment" aspect of the speedrun.
this video is pretty cool because Hikaru says if this guy is around 1500 then he has no chance. he really had modest expectations for this speed run. but the absolute madman made it to 2400, crushing titled players and surpassing Alexandra Botez's all time best rating. amazing work
well he sacced a queen for a pawn instead of a piece so it is much easier to win
@@benkogambit5497 thank you Benko that is a very valid point
Hiki cries again
I have seen a video that he loses to a guy and excuses him as a cheater but he’s a GM who’s very good he’s just being childish. Which is what he should’ve cared about. I hope these day he is better not just in chess but also personality.
He isn't lol, screamed at a guy because he lost not long ago
dude i love watching these hikaru vids especially after the awards show where he got mad after losing to streamer who are more popular
Yall do realize that whenever Hikaru beats someone his opponents doesn't lose rating... Thats not the case for this smurf.
Still feels bad to get crushed by a GM sacking his queen for content.
And neither does Hikaru but that doesn't stop him from becoming so upset that he bans someone for one comment.
The Smurf account was only to beat Hikaru, as was shown in the name. That person probably didn't plan on smurfing beyond that stream.
Why didn't he update the loss column
Cause the smurf resigned out of respect
I am so confused by this comment section. Every good chess streamer does these speedruns, their opponents get their elo back as others have mentioned, and almost all of them react to some degree when they notice smurfing and/or cheating. Some take it with slightly better humour than others, but I don't think I've seen any of them react completely positively. One thing to remember is that they're often trying to make instructional content with speedruns, so if they have to really concentrate on the game (especially here where he had to sac a full queen) it's at least understandable he wouldn't be happy. Contrast this to e.g. when Hikaru blunders on a speedrun he's actually pretty funny about it (as are other chess streamers) so I doubt this is an ego thing.
Uh... You doubt this is an ego thing? lol you don't know much about Hikaru do you
@@OfficialFOY Apologies, maybe I wasn't clear. I'm not trying to say that Hikaru is or isn't egotistical, although as you imply there's plenty of evidence that he is. My point was that I doubt this incident was about ego. I'm fairly certain he got to a pretty high rating on his queen sac Speedrun, and that he lost games on the way. If it was an ego thing, you would expect him to display similar behaviour every time he had difficulty on that run. I'm fairly sure that's not the case. The differentiating factor here is that someone essentially gatecrashed the run. Again, I'm not saying that absolutely anyone would have responded as grumpily as he did. But I don't think it's unreasonable, and I suspect other streamers might be irritated too in those circumstances.
He's smurfing, which is so disheartening for newbie players to just get railed by a GM that sacs his queen for content then gets mad when he doesn't get to crush a noob.
It was Levy's smurf, or so I heard in the library and at the pub the other night.

@@patrickivankovic6934 So? its still progress that is hindered by an obvious troll. While yes its only at 535, but what if people keep doing it at higher levels? He has been stalling out at 2400+ elo because its too difficult to win in the higher elos.
The fact that chess com allows some people to have many accounts whilst they ban normal people for just two is ridiculous. They just do everything for money.

Playing well below your rating for easy wins (Not exclusive to chess). So this guy is a GM and he's playing people who fall for the scholars mate. It's seen as pathetic and bad manners as you should be playing people your own rating.

Guy who smurfed here vs him played two games with one being a draw and the other a win to get in elo range.
