GMHikaru Meme Review, Mostly Confusion and Chat Reading

[@crooksteezy6231]

Watching him struggle to understand basic memes is almost funnier than the actual memes

[@lucioyuen]

he's too used to seeing things in the second dimension like pieces on a chessboard, when he sees a picture of magnus playing football and Ronaldo playing chess they are just pictures to him and he doesn't feel the need to think deeper

[@genericalfishtycoon3853]

I love how Hikaru hates ties so much. He can't stand to see them even on other players.

[@carlotheemo]

Clickbait No way hikaru has that amount of meme understanding in the pie chart

[@alexisdrugeon8056]

The title was made by hikaru himself so it's probably him reading pie chart wrong :D

[@dhushy63]

the talk at 8:54 is very interesting and should make us think about this topic even more

[@Eshelion]

I think the whole point of this was to tell that ppl best in something in USA have foreign roots - not to say they aren't true Americans as Hikaru understood it - making fun of country (if you give it deeper thought, it might show as well, how good chance had those ppl, or their ancestors, get from country to go so far - not in every country you can have such possibilities to learn and practice something you like or are good at), not the ppl. But it's just my interpretation, which might be wrong.

[@mana24]

The way his mind processes memes is so unique. I ain't ever seen anything like it. This is the best Reddit reading thingamajig on youtube

[@pathwaytousername]

0:59 Technically you could have 1.f3 (or e4), then e5 (or e6), followed by g4, and then black can respond with any move that doesn't block the queen's diagonal (25 moves, including Be7 and even the dubious Qg5), and white can move anywhere after that which still allows Qh4, which there are 12-13 moves of. All in all, there are at least 1047 3 move checkmates.

[@sealtrain8252]

[@angel-ig]

Underrated

[@SkylerFallow]

He meant with white, in case that was unclear. That said, the sequence you're talking about, which is the famous 2-move mate for black (1.f3, e5; 2.g4, Qh4#) works for white as a 3-move mate as well, if black plays 1.f6; 2.g5 and white plays e3 or e4 and doesn't block his queen's path to h5 during the first 2 moves. So you're correct, the bongcloud into 2.Qh5 is not the only 3-move mate for white.

[@avery465]

I do agree with Hikaru's rant at the end. It's just a meme doesn't excuse the suspect reasons behind the bad "joke"

[@vanillakevs5469]

Yeah honestly it was a really shitty meme

[@FortisConscius]

IMO it depends if you laugh AT the logic, or WITH the logic.

1:06 another three moves checkmate is actually the fool's mate but in opposite color

[@remussayed1007]

Badminton can get really long cause its based on points not time. And you don't just play a set or just one game. It's best of 3. So you might have to play 3 games if you're evenly match. But basketball can get very stress on the body. If your team really needs you to work on the court through out the game you're gonna have a rough time. So both sports really stress you out. But Badminton is a more consistent.

[@chirantonso]

i didnt know hikaru saying sheeesh is all ive ever wanted

[@julianfrederick9082]

watching Hikaru try to find the joke when it is so obvious is like seeing millipedes breed.

[@praveenrawat6574]

Your chess is insane." Hikaru said, as he slipped his feminine hand into Magnus's pants and smirked. "Are you trying to mate me?" protests Magnus, as Hikaru blushes, the boyish figure undressed before Magnus. "Weak tempo play, Hikaru." The two kissed, deeply and passionately, and afterwards Magnus places his Rook into Hikarus open line.

[@SweetJP.]

I still don't get how classical chess can run for 6 hours. a full 90|30 game with +30m at move 40, only makes it 4 hours 40 minutes. How are people able to hit 1 hour 20 minutes solely on increments after move 40? that's insane.

[@emperorsascharoni9577]

Lol hikaru has never seen a professional basketball game ?? In basketball you have to constantly try to get away from your defender constantly run back and forth every 24 seconds and throwing and dribbling for a long time is also taxing. Badminton is just short running with swinging, its like tennis, but with more jumping. Ah I forgot in basketball you also jump a lot.

[@quearaeoquazhkn3728]

basketball sounds weird i assume u have to put balls in a basket or something and its quite easy to do without running and jumping so u better check your facts before writing a comment
