The Great Carlini a true chess hero and mastermind, someone who elevates the game to a new level, you see this guy checking out the chess problem of the day in the local paper wearing a safari hat, comes over starts running his mouth but not in a mean way in a friendly way, in a good sportsmanship way, bringing the game of chess to life beautifully and elegantly, to see Hikaru come and play with these guys it's like a dream come true for the chess world, the one people might not know about, the street chess world where players don't play for anything but the love of the game.

One thing I have noticed about Hikaru is that he's very generous when his opponent makes a mistake. I imagine most other players wouldn't have let someone take back that rook move. Also, this reminds me of the time Hikaru could have been a jerk in a professional game when his opponent accidentally hit the button on the clock before promoting their pawn to a queen. Hikaru could have taken the win, but he realized it was a mistake and wanted to give his opponent a fighting chance.

Bruh I absolutely love that this is trending to be a top 5 hikaru video!! Super happy that the crossover proved to be worth it for him :)

[@andrew12494]

Duck put up a decent fight. Some of his games on Coffee chess are an absolute work of art. One of my favorite players to watch.

@@cb_norwood He prolly saw the fork in Qf6+ and by then he'll be a rook down.

10:40 Note to self: If you ever play lord Hikaru over the board, just look at his face before making your move, you'll know beforehand if that move is any good.

[@stevenwier1783]

Note to self: if Hikaru makes the move its probably pretty good

[@aaaazzzz1437]

This is so stupid for people to like this comment even though hikaru made that face expression after the move...so I guess people playing chess against hikaru are probably normal beings but less smarter than him in chess.

If you want power you have to be willing to reach down and get it.... Great sportsmanship around, Hikaru you really made everyone's day there pleasure to watch

[@bamerson01]

Love these videos. Fun seeing you play with us mortals. Keep them coming.

Boston Mike: It does nothing!! Fell in a part like 5 moves later..

[@thegentleman4874]

Well, in his defence, he was playing against the highest rated blitz player in the world, so just about anybody would've fallen apart.

[@calvin2263]

The game I've been wanting for years. I love how the trash talking stopped when he realized he lost.

[@hzubovi1]

I really love this type of video. Would love to go on a world tour with Hikaru and film these random chess games on every continent

8:05 I like how they both appreciate the others move by nodding xD

There’s my problem. I don’t nod my head enough!

Hikaru just kept keeping him out.

[@scrappypirate2268]

Hikaru bobbing his head around when he moves like he's listening to music while streaming

[@cinemacynic980]

I love the change of pace depending on the player Hikaru plays against. The first video I saw was against that funny trash talker in Detroit, and how he played fast and Hikaru played just as fast, and when he played Mike he played the same speed as him, and was able to slow down even more for Duck, so it was a well thought out game. Great ability to shift gears.

[@rileyjohnson5261]

hikaru im so happy you found the coffee chess players i used to watch them every morning and still do on occasions

[@Bakitangtangamo]

Hikaru looks like he’s playing with uncles that swear they can beat him in chess HAHAHAH

[@harjotsingh-ps1wo]

Haha. When you are past 50, Unless you are vishy you have absolutely no chance against hikaru specially in blitz.

[@Crashandburn999]

@@harjotsingh-ps1wo My grandad is 1876 ACF rating(it still tracks close to FIDE). I have no official rating, but i'm about 1400 on chesscom and I beat him almost every game. He's about what you'd expect from a 1200. He's 76 now, and has never played online and hasn't played in a tournament in 20 years though, so I know he's significantly weaker than he used to be, and I think age has played a bigger part in that than simple rustiness because he still plays with friends and family.

Mike did a lot better than I first thought he would, so awesome to be able to have a game against Hikaru.

[@jacobbaartz7710]

That first guy had a lot of character, I reckon I'd enjoy his company.

[@Ryan_Austin]

I love how respectful he got after that game, pretty cool to see

[@sudarshangopinathan5904]

He's a very nice guy, before and after. He just talks smack during

[@masterbeernuts9344]

Mike loves Hikaru man. It was Mike who invited him. Mike's an excellent guy and obviously has full respect for Nakamura.

[@ClassicMist360]

hikaru saw alexandra blow up doing one of these videos and was like: "Its free real estate"

[@hybridwafer]

That white dress though.. almost as good as a pineapple shirt.

[@Tazmaniac610]

Hikaru is humble and nice enough to give pointers. It’s awesome.
