[@osj1099]

Although it’s getting difficult I don’t think any other player rather than magnus can sac queen and reach this rating naka is a legend

[@benbryant587]

Watching these videos has increased my rating almost two hundred points. The mentality of, 'oh no. I lost a piece. Oh well fight on.' Also nakamura has given a new appreciation for how powerful the other pieces can potentially be.

[@justalazyguy.0_0]

Petition for hikaru to make a botez gambit opening video :)

[@Compassiron1]

Haha

[@stevenboelke6661]

24:58 What the heck is the move Qb1? I'm no expert in chess, but that screams 'mistake' to me. He let Hikaru's pawn through too. Wild how the opponent fell apart at the end, there.

[@EnigmaChess]

I don't think he had a lot of time

[@lesliehamilton2020]

Watching how fast you did that calculation in the first game, made me want to delete my account.

[@MHoefkes]

Right? What a madman. And the board once he'd drawn all the arrows on it.

[@lesliehamilton2020]

@@MHoefkes Honestly he's arrow drawing speed is equally as impressive as his calculations. lmao

[@gibberconfirm166]

@@MHoefkes By FIDE rating he's higher than Magnus in Blitz, so people saying he's the greatest ever (at short time control) might not even be exaggerating. And Bobby Fischer used to play Bongcloud in the 90s just because he regarded slow chess with prep as bullshit (he was insane but not that insane, regarding his opinions on chess.) He's getting older, but I think it was Nigel Short (?) who played Fischer over the Internet, said he was better than Kasparov at Bongcloud blitz.

After you sac your Queen keep the position closed and win on time. The shuffling works.

Have a queen bishop battery so when you sack the queen for a bishop you get the knight too

Is he sacking his queen on purpose every game? Insane.

[@lonkhoi6764]

imagine if stockfish do this challenge

[@hsp6798]

They would win much easier and they could definitely hit 2400 on this gambit with tons of draws ans winning on time for most.

[@hommedumonde]

The problem with stockfish is that he doesn’t believe in his own win in endgames with lost position, trying to sack everything for a stalemate. And mostly stockfish doesn’t trying to trick opponent to win material. That would be interesting tho.

[@ETBrooD]

Without any doubt Stockfish would do much better than Hikaru
