It’s crazy how after only 6 moves you can play a new line of the Sicilian on this level

[@antipro4483]

Board 53 in this round (Adhiban vs. Iturrizaga) will be worth covering #suggestion Edit: Also Keymar vs Nodirbek looks interesting

Esipenko is one player against whom you do not want to play unorthodox openings , even if you are Hikaru or Magnus . Shakriyar once tried this with white against Esipenko . Esipenko took almost a hour to calculate one move and then Shakriyar was struggling for a draw .

When I got into online chess during the Queen's Gambit boom, everyone was talking about the Dragon and the Accelerated Dragon back then. I think I saw the game you are talking about live too.

In the hypothetical position I found bishop E8. Whats wrong with that? Seems like a game winner to me but Im sure Im missing something.

[@sfeldman231]

I love this opening since I am a crummy player who doesn't love to memorize a zillion lines. But I can't believe someone actually played it in a legit classical game.

[@sfeldman231]

Also, it's a relief to know even the best players have trouble developing that damn light square bishop when playing the Hyper Accelerated Dragon.

#suggestion sindarov vs sevien

[@biplabkar1391]

I miss Medo.Where is he @Agadmator?

[@gouthammeruva]

I used to think Chess opening theory was great, but as I am improving and getting better, I am more inclined towards "Fischer Random" as more authentic chess than all these classical memorized lines. I don't know why memorization is weighed more than raw logical analyzation? Folks spend a lot of hours in learning "theory" and now they need to justify it.

[@mathiasfreytag6835]

Yeah, that's a very common way of thinking... Fisher only created the 960 chess because of this, he hated so much memorized lines

[@hugovaz777]

Humans are programmed to to be memorization bots from an early age, that's how teachers "teach" in school, it's a big problem.

Hikaru's wife lost to Wesley So's girlfriend, who thanked him as her secret second in the 2023 USCC closing ceremony speech. But Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip! It wasn't a clean victory. Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. Please consider reviewing this game and in particular spreading the rumour that Carissa Yip is dating Wesley So based on Carissa's X header - it's a photo of just Carissa & Wesley (& Leinier & Melik). move 54 for black is an 8-move equality puzzle it's so sharp [Variant "From Position"] [FEN "1Q5k/3r1rn1/p3N3/Pp1p2P1/1q2p3/1B2R2P/5P2/6K1 b"] 1...

I think you might stop asking for ideas on hypothetical situations because i tend to lose the thread of the game but what do I know.

[@niagra898]

I’ve said that before as well 👍

[@bronzecomeshome9517]

It's a core element of the channel. This one is especially long at ... 12 seconds. Normally it's less than half that. Try to hold on!

[@jessebrown8519]

4:48 - why didn't Hikaru push his pawn to d4 to win a piece?

[@fleaship6134]

He's not winning a piece really because Bxf4

[@2199SPUDMAN]

It doesn't win a piece after d4?! Bxf4 , which also opens the a2-g8 diagonal for white's KB and gives the e4 square to the white knight. Much better for Naka to hold the center with e6.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Esipenko I’m sure was disappointed in his attack falling short he seemed to have initiative most of the game Nakamura seemed relegated to defending his king from the attacking white pieces which he did adequately enough Nice Game Enjoy your day as well Agadmator

[@LordElwe]

Not really, he was just forced to attack because if he didn't Hikaru would have steamrolled him

[@tonylove4800]

I can't believe a player as good as Esipenko would play the opening so passively.

[@LordElwe]

What do you mean? You mean solid? He was out of book on move two so probably didn't want to go all out and risk falling into some prep from Hikaru

[@tonylove4800]

@@LordElwe If you're at that level and out of book on move two then something is very wrong. That wasn't solid - it was passive. Hikaru owned him in the opening.

[@LordElwe]

​@@tonylove4800 Esipenko has never played this opening and Hikaru didn't play it for something like 17 years. That's why Hikaru played it--to surprise his opponent. And if Esipenko played so badly and Hikaru "owned" him in the opening, why didn't Hikaru win easily? He is the stronger player by 100 Elo. Also, based on engine eval white was never at any disadvantage in this game.

[@tonylove4800]

@@LordElwe If you can equalise - at least - with Black like that, then that's owning. Or close to it. Don't get me wrong. I hate taking on those openings just as much as you or anyone else does.

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Hikaru will never be World Championship challenger until he stops playing such nonsense openings. They might get him a lot of wins in bullet chess, but he opens himself up to too much counterattack by serious players in classical time format. Sometimes I think he just plays this stuff because he finds it funny.
