Another 2 hours of great chess and fun. Great stuff!

[@Nick-nb8kf]

Hikaru has already won before he even sits down.

[@jaconova]

Nice shirt, Hikaru! Keep pimping! You are definetely one of the most charistmatic chess players out there! Thanks for the good job!

[@dx2398]

I wish i can play like Nakamura.. So fast and accurate moves.. And seems knowing all opening

[@yacinmessaoud186]

for me chess is more enjoyable when you play what you see fit without knowing it already

[@josefmalar7837]

@@yacinmessaoud186 this ways i loose every game in blitz, becuase i dont know what to play. mostly mistakes are then.

[@sxcknasty69]

Gm hikaru listening to Pompeii while playing is the best thing I've seen all day

[@TwelfthRoot2]

The precision is making my head explode

[@et4able]

“Just not my day” as he leads the field. Haha

[@MrKongatthegates]

I love when he hums a tune hes listening to. im building a playlist of revealed hikaru tunes. hooked on a feelin so he likes oldies. at least some oldies

[@MrKongatthegates]

born in the USA, the playlist is building itself. classic rock. nice nice

[@apemonekeyman]

hahahahaha 1:58:57 naka cursing makes me feel a little better about my potty mouth during games. TBF it was his poor connection though!

[@LonelyPianist-jn1oj]

Yeah hahahahha me too

[@brbcrew9957]

When he moves his head with music I die laughing

[@AndreyPutilov]

Why you americans write every word capitalized?

[@josefmalar7837]

@@AndreyPutilov only some of them. :-D thankfully Slavs are more free in their languages.

[@default-writer]

Hi, which music are you listening on stream? have any playlist?

[@cebceb3674]

Have you ever thought about making an Style channel on KZbin? Ur style is dope af

[@IoannisDihnekhs]

15:36 "up to the top as usual".. (Hikaru Nakamura March 8, 2019)

[@user-zu6ts5fb6g]

Truly amazing that the queen wears a shirt full of hikaru faces.

[@sanantonio4828]

Can someone please tell the score? Please

[@popballard11]

50:27 "I've got knight everywhere basically at some point to win the game I think"

[@Chess-ks8lk]

Arena Kings Blitz rocks!

[@pingouyno]

1:58:57 Nakamura swearing on stream lmao

[@lezamac6]

😂

[@nakulbam5067]

Yeah first time I've heard that

[@brianbernstein3826]

Hikaru's first encounter with blind rage was at age 10 when he received a 99% on his geometry quiz

[@screvaldi]

Does anyone know the song playing at 15:49? Pretty please!!!

[@maxd6268]

Wait, is that shirt from Nayarit, México?

[@j0tt0]

I want to see a match against Magnus while he comments. Magnus also streaming and commenting.

[@rickrick5041]

That would be fantastic or either against Grischuk

[@omak3313]

Hikaru has no chances against Magnus. Hikaru was deadly beaten by Magnus in Speed Chess Championship.

[@rickrick5041]

Omak Is it on KZbin? There is almost always next time

[@vadimniessen]

@@rickrick5041 It is.

[@fawadsaeed4704]

Magnus is no joke.

[@seanlee7054]

hes got music playing but sings a diff song

[@BrividoCarlo]

SEAN LEE he removes the music of the stream for copyright issues with yt

[@thernly]

I’m not a snob about amateur singing but Naka, please, please just cut it out. It’s just annoying. It’s even worse that Carlsen sucking on his water bottle.

[@xa-1274]

Tim Hernly shut the fuck up, it just ads to a fun atmosphere. If you don’t like average singing that makes the mood for most people better, then fuck off

[@juancruzarriola6520]

LucasDoni in the first places having less than 1500 ELO. Curious.

[@akitochu7967]

It’s called sand bagging

[@OmkarChakradeo]

Can everyone play this tournament, when is next one?

[@objectivejudge6119]

1:58:58 me when blunder a piece

[@luciferlight5082]

I didn't realize I was OCD or whatever thats called until I got a migraine headache wanting to drag the crooked orange screen straight with the board.

[@SpecialAgentBillMaxwell]

Look at that 1500 way up there in the rankings. I guess they don't get paired against the upper tier in this?

Being upset is good

What's the song at 1:38:38

[@philip4948]

In first place position, yeah today is really not my day. LOL

[@llamalord878]

Come for high level chess. Stay for Hikaru singing.

[@martinet1985]

Naka believes in Gosh.

[@rodrigomartinezvicencio7999]

Viva México!!

[@levtros6289]

Rating is not so important.Naka is the second in the World!

[@AndreyPutilov]

Today published/recommended? Isn't it too late from 3/8?

[@TheMarksT]

Yeah it's low, but considering that it's also not rock, it's not too low imo. Lol. But how 'bout some Breaking Benjamin, or maybe Shine down if it's newer stuff your looking for? The lyrics can still be very bad but it's not Lucifarian anyway, well not totally anyway. Thx. Ps. Highly Suspect has an awesome tune, My Name is Human and of course if you like classic Rock, Greta Van Fleets' Highway Tune is energizing.

[@gavinthornton1591]

1:08:06. What was the blunder with Rb7?

[@wonjonjon]

In case you're still wondering, Qxd5+

[@gavinthornton1591]

Jonathan Yu thanks 🙏

[@Super-fh2tz]

Хикару когда проведёте трансляцию на русском языке?

[@sachinjain6429]

Did I just blunder ....no I have this move ....and now I am simply better .....I am playing bad chess....ji ji next game

[@diorgu]

Hikaru I love you man, but please no more singing

[@abdallahkhallouf7398]

never stop singing pls

[@harykusumo4152]

Lol

[@ClickingHeads]

Have you ever had your brain tested there are like an MRI machine or something? How could It possibly make decisions that rapidly? is it possible to basically use steroids on somebody's brain to make them hyper focused/ cognitive?

[@estebanackermann2717]

Its just patron recognition you dont play chess enough

[@InfoJunky]

There's rumors he's on adderall, but no substantiation of them.

[@jesuskyan4072]

5:43 torre f8 mate?

[@akitochu7967]

He’s in check lmao

[@isaac65619]

este chico tenía un jaque mate y no lo jugó en el min 1:46:27 hubiera mejor jugado Qxg7 y la partida hubiese concluido

[@petergriffin8767]

Wrong (falso)

second player is Pulpan Jakub from czech republic, his nick means Halfmaster,

[@Kosta110]

59:36 loool

[@eminence_]

59:30 nasty bug

[@wonjonjon]

I don't think it was a bug. It sounds like he accidentally left-clicked and cancelled his pre-move.

[@TheEppypens]

complains about how bad he's playing and how frustrating tourney is for half the video, then wins whole event...lol

[@kevinwellwrought2024]

Nihal is still too inexperienced for Naka.

[@SuperNaidenov]

8 ads? I ain’t about that tho

[@devjubin6965]

you have mad typing skills and by the way why are you typing .

[@meisterschiumpf9759]

Sorry just anyone! Whatis wrong with taking the knight at 13:05 ?

[@meisterschiumpf9759]

And I also wanted to say, that most people don't even know 10-finger-typing. I think that was irony, was it?

[@zamhulem8696]

@@meisterschiumpf9759 he cannot take the knight due to the pawn on e4 pin by the queen on b1 so taking the knight would be an illegal move due to moving into check. Hope that answered your question.
