[@marvinmanzano8062]

I'm so proud of this channel. I remember discovering this channel 4 or 5 years ago when they where just playing in the park and it steadily grew. Now it has GM's playing and having fun.

[@Jacob32905]

For sure. He really grinded with it. Respect.

[@SirSoppyBalls]

@0:16 the ol' rock, paper, scissors, fist bump, handshake game... lol

[@jairveldhuis7188]

I love how Hikaru continuously shows up. Great game guys!

[@MrGedget]

Havent watched the video yet. Im just gonna predict that Hikaru literally doesnt care, that his opponent is an NM

[@e4jasperi]

*Slow clap*

[@danielward7008]

Yeah, he eats players like Naroditsky for breakfast so he definitely isn't going to be rattled by this guy.

[@peterwieser4631]

As flies to wanton boys are NMs to the Hukaru; He consigns them all to endgame shame in this sport.😅

[@tonymaurice4157]

These guys are true enemies in the parking lot they threw Dog poop at each other.!!

[@jonathanteoh5759]

Hikaru actually lost this game and the guy was secretly a GM, and hikaru cared alot

[@Helloiswhat]

It is absolutely mind-blowing the way Hikaru thinks and plays. His mind is just wired in a different way. Unbelievable. Thank you, Brian, for bringing us these videos.

[@danielward7008]

I know the word genius is overused but in Hikaru's case it's most definitely applicable. I think the game comes easy to him.

0:02 Ray being up next created an existential crisis for the guy in the window.

[@jensino]

3:37 Carlini's game is so stealth that even his girlfriend doesn't know her relationship status. 😂

[@aldocort3418]

What's even more stealthy is Hikaru bobbing his head at 2:24 like he's on stream 😂.

[@robertgelblum5154]

I'm always amazed to see chess legends like Hikaru becoming regular visitors to Coffee Chess. Also, props to Sting Ray for hanging in for a long time against one of the strongest blitz/bullet players in history.

Hikaru is so fast. That is really impressive!

[@naddelacruz6621]

Hearing Allan from the background saying "asta la vista baby" made my day 😂

[@simonmultiverse6349]

pronounced "asta" and written "hasta." (silent H) Ergo the terminator says, "Hasta la vista, baby!"

[@PutoBala]

Judging by the inicial handshake, i know this gonna be a good one

[@MajorAddiction]

🤣🤣🤣

[@golfgunsandcocktailschannel]

I saw Hikaru in person when he was a young prodigy playing in Chicago Open, years ago. I've been a fan of him since then.

[@user-pq1cw1cd1y]

I sure did 🧠i enjoy so much, i end up watch 3 time already about 2 watch it again really appreciate u for doing this bro... God bless you 👑

[@joanne3049]

Hikaru, the human chess machine

[@jamesdelb6885]

Just watch Hikaru do puzzle rush and you'll see just how fast his mind really works in chess! I can't even understand the moves after he makes them, and moves on! A sight to behold.

[@1Blantdaddy]

Title should read "Hikaru doesn't care that his opponent is a Filipino NM rated 2213 😂

[@cryelnezo1296]

Where do guys play. Would love to watch some games live, or even test my luck playing against someone from coffeechess

[@theotang681]

I would cancel all my appointments or take a day off to come over and watch this game or other games when any masters show up. For real. It would be my honor.

[@mikecantreed]

I don’t know how he does it. He stays in these engine zero positions for so long but every single time the other guy slips up and naka pounces immediately and wins. Even in super dry endgames. I’ve seen him do it against top players too. It’s nuts.

[@jamfamily4287]

He blunders less than them.

[@mikecantreed]

@@jamfamily4287 Obviously. But he seems to navigate into positions where the other guy is more prone to blunder. Makes it look like unforced errors.

[@tonymaurice4157]

These guys are true enemies in the parking lot they threw Dog poop at each other.!!

[@danielsmith5032]

My thoughts exactly. It looked like Hikaru was WAITING for the blundered bishop, even though he was working out some other strategy along the way

[@kimchikin94minmin]

These are the type of people I wanna be around with, they're so chill.

[@Verbalaesthet]

Well played.

[@danielsmith5032]

One blunder was all it took. It was as if Hikaru was waiting for the blunder too

[@picklerick981]

hearing Alan in the background with his signature “Hasta la vista, baby” is too funny xD

[@LuisFernando-yd3mx]

At 8:00 after black's Knight d7 move a better move for white's queen than e2 is g4 threatening e6 and if black's bishop goes to g8 to guard against the queen moving in then white's knight forks a check at g6.

[@arancini4458]

Thats not a good idea as black bishop can just go to f5 instead of g8 and white just needs to move the queen back while black improved his position.

[@Antinoobism]

Great game for both players 👏🏻

[@BR-ms3pp]

2:51 after black king moved from F7 to E6 it would have been interesting to see white move his rook from E1 to D1

[@danielflyfly2918]

I already know it's gonna be a good game by that handshake :D

[@cliffstar913]

Hikaru is so good!! So good 💯

[@cubaestilo]

Why not check with the knight H6, I mean, after u were asking about the check on middle

[@primejohnson8692]

That was amazing

[@jeffsingam5393]

Would love to watch Hikaru play a few games of Fischer Random with some of the crew.

[@b9humor]

Yes, I've been suggesting that for years. Memorized lines are boring.

[@tonymaurice4157]

These guys are true enemies in the parking lot they threw Dog poop at each other.!!

[@colemontsandy3424]

He does this to give his opponent a fighting chance

[@antonnovo695]

Hikaru just knows most of these positions by heart

[@TheWayToWin]

Who won?

[@Notsoseriousguys]

I here they do most these videos in L.A. does anyone know if Hikaru lives in CA near them or does he travel to come play these? 🤔

[@klimtkiller]

He probably saw Rxb3 but figured Re3 runs into Rxf4 but he missed rg1+

[@graemeanderson1453]

Nice , like it , well played troops

[@sen4674]

the awkward handshake fist bump. haha

[@Zaan1028]

Attack was brutal

[@racerx3669]

Well, the brain also communicates wirelessly through glial cells and astrocites. It’s not just neurons, wires, and electricity.

[@nevonachmani5879]

The handshake 😬

[@2199SPUDMAN]

Hikaru literally doesn't care what your rating is. Literally.

[@jude6963]

You can hear a fellow Pinoy, named Alan from a distance

[@jaftamasemola395]

Sting missed Rx e4 exchange sacrifice,,,which could have gave hip some sort of activity and fighting chances and also eliminating Hikaru's monster knight,,, lets talk about that

[@MajorAddiction]

Classic chess handshake 😂

[@dimitristheodoropoulos18]

Where is this coffee chess?

[@apin7108]

man started the game with awkward handshake 🤣

[@Sachitananda]

Wow Hikaru is the GOAT

[@HomePremiered]

I saw that b3 threat long before it happened and im not close to 2213, I guess sitting across Hikaru is different then watching a game

[@lezty]

yup, i saw that move coming and when he moved the bishop i knew it was over

[@raymunddaos1019]

"Welcome Back Everyone!" - Hikaru

[@KrawnKam]

Is there a rule that you have to hit the clock with the same hand that you moved the chess piece or something?

[@ktfjulien]

Yes

[@nathanb5579]

What is that jacket?

[@GrowthruGod]

All I know is this place is not in Boston

[@moonraker2479]

why the other timer is set to 5 minutes and the other is 1? sorry new here. :)

[@ktfjulien]

Because the guy on the right is much, much better. It's a handicapped match

[@vladislavchessmate1567]

Interestingly, that Great Carlini very easy drew game against Hikaru, but stronger players is not able even yo draw against him (not including Robert)

[@WorldChessComunity-gh3xx]

The Monster bullet chess Hikaru....Hikaru just got married...🥰

[@joshuatemplado2578]

Bro should have pushed his passed a pawn

[@ismailmohamed7216]

The guy who’s always standing, when are going to play?

[@sheffrinsantos2080]

just wondering why you're not using a high end wooden chess board. since you have a lot of audience and celebrity players. that would be nice.

[@TXLionHeart]

Just take the juicer. Then after takes takes, it's just winning.

[@aiastrea9758]

Handshake blunder lmao

[@bigbob2364]

thats insane hikaru distroyed a nm like eating a sandwich cmon man

[@PeterBornAgain]

Hikaru always know the right time to move the king into the game I think a lot of mediocre even advanced players don't utilize the king as much as they should including myself I am only a 1600R

[@saidamenali6994]

HE DON'T NEED TO KNOW 😂😂😂

[@KyleFrancis267]

what is NM mean?

[@seedyProfessor]

Squashed him in the end.

[@antoniosalgadoaragao4437]

The difference in the usage of time...

[@10minutesandunder]

meanwhile magnus: let me give you 20 seconds

i will go there and try nakamura power hahaaha

[@bestmobilegames8302]

Of course hikaru can play well with a minute on the clock, he's a blitz beast fyi

[@williampapadopoulos8145]

Hikaru vs. Forest! Even just for the playful banter Forest will bring…I believe only Robert has beaten Hikaru so far.

[@TRlXTA]

Out of curiosity, who is considered the best player in the world right now???

[@sartikablossom]

world champion ding highest elo magnus best bullet blitz hikaru

[@ryanm2821]

​@@sartikablossom is Hikaru better than magnus at either? The gap is extremely close sure but I thought Magnus is considered the best at all formats on his good day vs anyone's good day and in actual stats

5-1 is too easy for Hikaru i would play him with 5 to 30 s

When hikaru looks away it gives me Beth Harmon vibes in queens gambit when she is seeing the board on the ceiling and figuring out how to win without looking at a board. Pretty wild

Bh6 is the biggest waste of a move and a pawn that I've ever seen. Nowhere in the thought process was there anything that comes close to strategy or tactics. I award this NM no points, and may God have mercy on his soul.
