You hit on a massive and startling truth-chess is 99% subconscious, the main point of strategy and tactics training and the reason it takes so many repetitions over and over similar puzzles similar concepts similar games is because that's how you teach your subconscious

You should still go for the jerome when they bring the knight out instead, I actually find that i have more success with that, but after you gambit the knight you do d5 then e6 to hit the knights, then bring out the queen with a check. It’s like a delayed Jerome. But idk how well it’d work against higher level players i guess

What an amazing mind he has... Hikaru, any way you could explain your moves a bit so us idiots might learn better ways to think about chess positions? It is insane that you can play so well while having random conversations about politics and gold. Not like you need/take any advice, just wanted to throw that out there. I'd personally watch a lot more if it was a bit more instructional.

[@Uthleber]

38:52 that didnt aged well …

[@noahollington9946]

9:55 seems like a mistake for hikaru with qd5 ?

[@wateredmilk6089]

How so? May be slightly weakening to push the pawn but his opponent has already so many problems that any attempt to exploit it would probably be to slow

[@tapsofosiris3110]

Are you saying that Hikaru didn't play optimally in a game that was part of a speedrun in which the whole point is to not play optimally? Noooooo. No way. Couldn't be.

[@yaboykirby7789]

Qf3 is not great but I think it's winning since you don't lose material and he's allready a pawn up so I think it's not ideal but fine. If the opponent trades queens he gains the F3 pawn but loses E7 pawn (which I think Hikaru would be fine with) and if the opponent takes his bishop then Hikaru takes the opponents bishop and I think probably gains another pawn down the line although maybe worse positionally. I think the opponent saw this board state from a few moves away and was aiming at QD5 then got here and realized oh shit Qf3 is still completely winning

[@gamerdio2503]

After Qd5 you go Qf3. If queen takes bishop, your queen can take the bishop on b7. If queen takes queen, gxf3, Bxf3, there's Rxe7, which stockfish evaluates at about +1.5. The original position is +0.0
