My first use of the cow was in 9000BC, thats right, I was the first person to use the cow. Is this a chess channel?

@@agamrajthakur his opponents name is Genghis_K, someone in chat says "genghis=who" hikaru makes a joke saying genghis is going to be famous for a lot longer than any chess player, but because he uses Alireza and people get really upset because they think he is insulting Alireza when really it was about chess in general

I'm sure this made Cramling give a full smile. Good on ya for trying it out.

[@KazumaTheKloud]

Hey Hikaru, I just wanted to say thank you for all of your chess teaching vids/streams. When I first started playing chess I was pretty bad at it. I didn't like most of the openings I researched, mostly cause I just didn't understand how to use any of them properly. But then I watched your vids on running the King's Indian and it has become my main opening when playing black (well... that or the pirc defence of course.) And now I have more wins as black than as white. Now I just need to claw my way out of the newbie ranks and start really learning how to get good at chess.

[@sprintex7971]

* Hikaru's King is in the middle of the board on move 8. * ( 35:33 ) Stockfish: King is vulnerable, completely losing position. Hikaru: "So my king is very active"

[@wompastompa3692]

Reminds me of that one Agadmator vid. "Vasily, your king is on D4!"

[@FurganManafov]

What kind of thumbnail is that LOL XD 39:33 is the best reaction of Hikaru!🤣

[@tomriley5790]

Aw this should make Anna feel better! She looked so disappointed after what Magnus said!

[@vancovio]

The most entertaining Chess streamer also just happens to be one of the very best of all time. I appreciate all of your videos so much fun and always learning.

[@conquerordie230]

The problem with openings is that you get sucked into the theory, so at the end of the day, you're not really playing chess. Chess is playing you.

[@torvawkkasato6885]

I must admit. I like your casual approach to chess. You also call out your own mistakes very quick. I just always somehow through GMs were just all so serious. It is nice to see I am wrong.

[@Ki3M_]

[@jackanderson4815]

Speedrun idea, you play an opening named after a country or a city within the country where your opponent comes from, if you can’t relate an opening to your opponent’s flag you get some restrictions like a grob or some odds Idk…

Hikaru is right about teams waiting for penalty’s which is why premier league derby’s are the most exciting games of the year
