Chess.com Nerfed Hikaru for Bullet Brawl

[@JhayHope]

10 second odds is not enough to nerf this guy in bullet chess. Nerfing can only make his moves a little more "devilish" imo.

[@aleksihiltunen7063]

It’s not only about the time odds. He lost all those seconds on the ”looking for opponent” page so the games took longer which obviously means less points. Undeniable he smoked all of them regardless

[@mugsypianist]

Finally, chess has had its first patch update in thousands of years. When are the GothamChess buffs?

[@HaikalSirhana]

why would gotham need buffs

[@iguoyrxayananikihs9505]

​@@HaikalSirhanaGotham is pretty good but he got mind down status ( namely Fear, Confuse and Panic) against GM. Clearly, he needs buffs

[@FunkyPhunk]

@@iguoyrxayananikihs9505 Sadly Gotham is considered a sniper class, really hard to buff or nerf. For now you just have to have really good aim when playing chess as Gotham.

[@sintaxera]

The buff is any GM he plays appears to be a NM with 500 less elo than he has. The side effect is that after losing to ten in a row he quits chess and becomes a black metal reaction channel

[@saimon174666]

Not really, en passant is about 600 years old.

[@movdqa]

Alternate title: GM Hikaru blows away the field with 11 second penalty.

[@RMF49]

and while working out the lyrics of a song.

[@dpend]

Congrats on hitting 3405 blitz rating recently, I can't believe anyone could hit that lmao

[@Amadeus_Flyfishing]

"Nakamura Shatters Bullet Brawl Record With 82.5/84 Score" nothing can stop this legend

[@armyguy196]

Anyone would find this interesting

[@unwisebobcat624]

Looks like Hikaru bought a new and improved anti-slip mouse

[@unfixablegop]

Was that just a glitch or did they implement a streak-breaker nerf?

[@alumpy-acho112]

Server/connection delay i guess

[@OvercookedOctopusFeet]

Don't worry, i'm sure Kramnik is investigating.

[@АндрейКурлов-б8т]

Крамник подал документы в Гаагу за использование стокфиш 15.

[@Acradus]

This is just downright scary.

[@slshree1103]

8:10 I like the music in the background dude

[@DHV-im4uz]

the two forks at 21:29 made me hiss like a cat

[@ShhshsBzhzh]

5:50 Hikaru doing my girlfriend expressions

[@MrAries1066]

🙄

[@advaitavedanta6617]

🙄5:52 exactly. It can happen in a yoga meditation: when you focus more to heaven than to earth. Only in a zen meditation you focus only to the here and now: between one thought and the other one. Then you are in the here and now. 3 seconds are enough for enlightenment. Hikaru🏆hat 1 sec. Your girlfriend❤️hat 2 sec. Yourself🌅will have 3...🙏🙏🙏

[@T4Gxoxo]

That’s funny

[@aviralarpan7350]

at this pace, hikaru might BECOME stockfish

[@unknownanonymous1948]

Still OP after the nerf

[@WuhSuhDood]

The song Hikaroo is singing is Year 3000 by Busted

[@ssbm-icarus]

6:51 here you can see Hikaru demonstrate "The Tsunami." A common technique among strong players, where one consolidates their pieces-- often making backwards moves in the process-- and then strikes hard and goes for checkmate. This is much like the behavior of the ocean shore before a tsunami-- the shoreline recedes greatly, there is a moment of quiet, and then disaster strikes from the distance. Expertly done.

[@ssbm-icarus]

reading this in an Australian accent makes it better

[@_.perme._.kadum._]

37:56 My name is Magnus Nakamura 😂

[@_.perme._.kadum._]

53:36 He is Magnus Nakamura again 😂

[@ahzama.k.6199]

Wow what an arena. Hikaru went full bead mode. Beast I meant beast mode**

[@jonathanbush6197]

This may have been released a few hours ago, but it's an old video. You can tell when Hikaru mentions that his record is "around 270 or 280."

[@furstfr]

It’s so cool to see how the eval bar is sometimes heavily in the opponent’s favour but they end up not capitalizing on it 😂

[@gladosadoree]

A wee background on this nerf would be nice. Was it deliberate?

[@PaulDormody]

His side lagged until about 6 games in when he refreshed the page

[@suryaprakashsun1998]

19:40 Slick escape

[@StevenSenjaya]

56:29 --> 57:05 2100s are not "real" chess players y'all. You gotta be at least 3000!

[@ardeshirgholami3718]

Wtf was that bortneyk 33:57 game insane bullet prep man 😅

[@c2thew]

My eyes can’t keep up with how fast these games are

[@lyricalplays5872]

Kramnik is gonna have something to say about this😂

[@user-dx4tb9zo7c]

Incredible to see how you played against a 1900. Hugh difference

[@dylanberger3924]

42:43 why did castling affect evo bar so significantly?

[@johndeaux8815]

Hikaru playing the time odds bullet speedrun 😂

[@umiami80]

Hikaru is listening to the Jonas Brothers Year 3000 at 43:52

[@umiami80]

He said "I've been to the year 3000 Not much has changed, but they lived underwater And your great-great-great-granddaughter Is doing fine" (Doing fine)

[@cymerdown]

Wow, 11 seconds is long enough for Stockfish to analyze the game ahead of time and send Hikaru all the moves through his headphones? Very interesting... -Kramnik 2024, probably

[@anday7421]

Don't give him ideas 😂

[@possiblegaming1001]

We get 1 minute in our school to make 1 move and here whole game overs in 30 sec😂

[@Xar22297]

needs more pickles

[@furstfr]

Hikaru winning with the -10 seconds gambit is crazy

[@ayanbandyopadhyay767]

Magnus Nakamura! So... Fusion is real. Let's begin the procedure

[@JoshuaHults]

amazing on so many levels !

[@never_gonna-give-you_up]

Next season balance changes:mangus carl's son rework

[@katagiriyuuichi6086]

"my name is magnus nakamura im a very good end game player" 💀

[@asenita19]

Would be great if you added a list of the songs in the background w/timestamps

[@SonOfGod-i2c]

When you're scary good at chess 😅 congrats!

[@ShySouh]

Wait he won with the nerf?

[@naptown9672]

What song was he singing?

[@GlennTheSadMarinersFan]

Year 3000. One day when I came home at lunch time I heard a funny noise Went out to the backyard to find out If it was one of those rowdy boys Stood there with my neighbor called Peter And a Flux Capacitor He told me he built a time machine Like one in a film I've seen, yeah He said "I've been to the year 3000 Not much has changed, but they lived underwater And your great-great-great-granddaughter Is doing fine" (Doing fine) He took me to the future in the flux thing And I saw everything Boy bands, and another one, and another one And another one And girls there with round hair like Star Wars Float above the floor We drove around in a time machine Like one in a film I've seen, yeah (ohh) He said "I've been to the year 3000 Not much has changed, but they lived underwater And your great-great-great-granddaughter Is doing fine" (Doing fine) I took a trip to the year 3000 This song had gone multi-platinum Everybody bought our seventh album It had outsold Kelly Clarkson I took a trip to the year 3000 This song had gone multi-platinum Everybody bought our seventh album (seventh album, seventh album) He told me he built a time machine Like one in a film I've seen, yeah I've been to the year 3000 Not much has changed, but they lived underwater And your great-great-great-granddaughter Is doing fine Doing fine (whoa) He said "I've been to the year 3000" (yeah, babe) "Not much has changed, but they lived underwater" (oh-ohh, yea-yeah) "And your great-great-great-granddaughter" (granddaughter) "Is doing fine" (doing fine, yeah, doing fine) He said "I've been to the year 3000" "Not much has changed" (not much) "But they lived underwater" (water, yeah) "And your great-great-great-granddaughter, is doing fine" (Doing fine) He said "I've been to the year 3000 Not much has changed, but they lived underwater And your great-great-great-granddaughter Is doing fine" (Doing fine)

[@mattiacostantini1645]

Celebration by Kool & The Gang

[@danfradenburgh7455]

I'm pretty sure that I had the same problem today. Or at least, I'm blaming all of my losses on it. (Not really)

[@nickr4837]

this video soothes my autism

[@anonymous5784ui]

Was this just like a glitch?

[@jeffersonmoreira9484]

Insane watch how Hikaru play without 10 secons in Bullet agains others very strong GM!!

[@MusiNaTuse]

I love this series

[@imnotftw]

It is “she’s pretty fine” Uneducated chat. Tut tut

[@Alain9-1]

We miss the intro music

[@jasonruff1270]

jesus christ this dude's a beast

[@Goose_Rascal]

I’ve noticed big heads in thumbnails are popular. It must boost analytics. KZbinrs don’t have the BALLS to shrink their heads instead. Show some spine Hikaru. Give yourself a shrunken head in the next thumbnail.

[@unwisebobcat624]

No spoilers but still achieved a grand ratio

[@LTCatLive]

it does say ''pretty fine'' though....

[@Sympanet]

What the heck where’s the next geem

[@oldhamegg]

Why did this happen?

[@luckystrke]

Whats going on here?! why the Odds?

[@Xdtufe]

Why does he always play openings that gives advantages to the opponent?

[@blinkers88]

lichess would never

[@jeeveshsindwani8977]

This guy disrespected 3200s😂

[@danielbarrido2030]

Deez knights is pretty fine

[@ScottySkilz1]

if you watch hikaru's face while he plays he looks disgusted

[@2vintage68]

Is it purposeful? I think those at your level in a field today are routinely punished by authorities. Everything has to be "leveled".

[@Biskawow]

Singer first, streamer second, chess player third

[@sniper-rr2xz]

What happened actually?

[@majormononoke8958]

some bug
