Getting called decent by one of the top 5 players of all time of a game this old is a huge compliment. Also 'decent' could be a character description, which is also a good thing to be called.
Something a lot of chess fans also seems to forget a lot is that a lot of top chess GM with similar age tend to know each others from they were kids, for example Magnus know Ian Nepomniatchi and David Howell since they met at Junior Chess Championship.
Yeah that’s why many don’t like Hikky. He seemed mellowed out the couple past year, but when I hear stories on how he behave when he was junior, everyone seemed to have their Hikaru moments.
@@yudistiraliem135the stories about chessbae are enough for me to think he hasn't changed that much since then, he's just better at putting on a screen persona
He handled it like a pro. Youre not going to go on a platform and say you hate the guy. Which he doesn't. But there's obviously a bit of a rivalry there.
@@pj2345-v4x It was a hypothetical question. If Magnus was a human being instead of a 5th dimensional incarnation of 'skill diff', what would you like most about him? Clearly Hikaru, only being a 4th dimensional being, had troubles picturing this, and had to give a hypothetical answer
I think Hikaru used to be intimidated by Magnus and he would often not play his best against him. But now that Hikaru has had so much success streaming, its really taken the pressure off and he’s been playing more up to his ability
@Ruminant Da stellar because he want play a game where he know how to play. If he used more powerful oppening Magnus will play second o third line where he will struggle a Hikaru.
@Ruminant Da stellar hikaru is trying to deviate from the norm by playing and studying lines that are objectively not as good, but they are studied less. Openings, ofc
@Ruminant Da stellar I think it's not necessarily worse, it might be "suboptimal" but it throws his opponent off balance if they have didn't plan him to play the "meta" so to speak. Chess pro players spend hundreds of hours planning for their game and anticipating their enemy lines. Being obscure might actually give Hikaru advantage which is why he can still crush them midgame
Fans don’t realize that pros in competition like each other as people more than they like their fans. They’re passionate about the same thing, had similar upbringings, and now make a living doing the same thing. They can relate to each other more than anyone else. Fans are just how they make their money. Fans just make up rivalries because they want to belong to a tribe
It is. Pretty much in highest paid tournaments there are always the same 20 people. And they won't play lower rated tournaments which they would lose a ton of rating for a loss. Keep in mind that a 2400 player would beat a super GM if given a superior position, they are good. If you have a bad day and lose against a fellow Super GM, it's ok, happens. If you lose against 2400 that's bad.
@@user-qc9go7ff8x"Your chess is insane." Hikaru said, as he slipped his feminine hand into Magnus's pants and smirked. "Are you trying to mate me?" protests Magnus, as Hikaru blushes, the boyish figure undressed before Magnus. "Weak tempo play, Hikaru." The two kissed, deeply and passionately, and afterwards Magnus places his Rook into Hikarus open line.
enemies, but at the end of the day they understand that they are the only ones in the world who can truly understand each other. There is something sad but beautiful in understanding that fact.
The second question reminded me of a question that Nadal was once asked about Federer, he responded: "I don't want to sound like I'm going to be his boyfriend, no"
I gotta imagine that these pros can go online and play chess with anyone but there's nothing they enjoy more, win or lose than going against someone that can match their level of skill
Imagine getting on a podcast and the podcast only being interested in your biggest rival who didn’t want to do the interview so now you’re stuck with questions all about him. COMPLETELY uninterested in you! 😂
Magnus did give an interview on this podcast, and it was just a question or two about Magnus out of a nearly 2 hours interview. A lot of chess players get invited to this podcast and Magnus is always brought up at some point.

@@HiFisch94 please tell me which one I want to read it so bad
It's because him and Elon Musk are lovers so he thinks all men are lovers.🤦🏻♂️

Wow golden comment 😂😂
That was to accurate😂😂😂
To be fair it was a leading question
He handled it like a pro. Youre not going to go on a platform and say you hate the guy. Which he doesn't. But there's obviously a bit of a rivalry there.

"what do you love most about magnus" "hes beautiful luscious lockes, his amazing eyes, and his chest!"

Thought he was gonna say lovers for a minute.
At that level, it's hard to find other people who can relate and when you do you must compete but at the same time you find a kindred soul
Everyone actually hates Hikaru. He's got a reputation for being absolutely petty.
a lot of people on the internet forget that most people don’t act like raging psychopaths in real life
That last question, confirms he is aware of the Hira x Mag ship.

Savage comment
Hikaru is a wise and respectful man 👍.
hikaru is a dipshit, it's obvious
I wanted him to say "He's my husband"
The passion in this interviewer is unparalleled
I loved the part where you let him finish.
I'm going to say r/whooooosh for some future comments
we all know that Hikaru have huge crush on Magnus
Bro said he loves that Magnus comes easily
Everything comes easily to Magnus* Chill bro! 😂😂
I was expecting "I don't wanna look like... like I am gonna be his boyfriend, no?"
I understood this reference. Rafa Nadal 😂
Magnus is like scorpion while Hikaru is Sub Zero
That interviewer is trying to fuel fanfiction
"We are actually friends with benefits"
The interviewer is high af
Answer: Romantic partners
Insanely great, pointed questions delivered enthusiastically from Lex.
By Hikaru's definition - the top 20 players are *colleagues*.
(because they make a living working together in these competitions)
It is. Pretty much in highest paid tournaments there are always the same 20 people. And they won't play lower rated tournaments which they would lose a ton of rating for a loss. Keep in mind that a 2400 player would beat a super GM if given a superior position, they are good. If you have a bad day and lose against a fellow Super GM, it's ok, happens. If you lose against 2400 that's bad.
These two people will be legends in the next generation.
Translated „i look up to magnus and admire him“
Thank you so much for not putting some stupid music behind them while they talk. Earned a like and sub
Hikaru: magnus and i respect each other
Magnus: heeka who?
in my head immediately "maa ya heee maa ya hoo" starts playing
Magnus actually respects hikarus play style a lot.
Magnus is very humble,with a lot of respect in the game,great chess influencer
Man was trying not to ask if they were a couple
-what is the relationship between you and magnus?

What HIkaru likes best about Magnus is that he's beatable.

Well he’s decent
And they were roommates
I was half expecting him to say "lovers" or something
Hikaru: i think with magnus it comes pretty easily
Magnus: proceeds to come, adjusting his t shirt
the phrasing of this comment is very strange 🤔
Frenemies is best to describe them. There’s an interview of magnus being asked about certain things about Hikaru and he nailed every one of them
He wanted to say lovers so badly
so I hear enemies to lovers
Ask Hikaru about his status with GM Eric Hansen. 😂
I was waiting for the coughing
we all know they raise 6 adopted kids all called Pawn Carlsen
Hikaru: "at the end of the day..."
Procedes to talk about the whole day.
Hikaru is blushing 😊
Hikaru is committed to Gotham, but Magnus plays havoc in their relationship every now and then.
