The 2200s put up the Stiffest Resistance | Botez Gambit Speedrun 38

[@youtubeuniversity9098]

I don't play chess anymore, I just watch Hikaru, it's less stressful 😂.

[@Lunehardt]

I know right? I barely play too, it's so stressful

[@nomer440]

I’d say at this point it’s more stressful

Yeah, you don't expect an open board like that to be a checkmate.

[@nishitd]

that's why you and I are not Super GM

Yeah his opponent is definitely heartbroken 💔 by that. They definitely went offline after that.

[@mr.psk.972]

[@immortalfootballer26]

Can't get enough of these Botez Gambit videos!

[@elwyn14]

When it's in your rating range you can really feel the opponent's emotions. It's a big advantage for hikaru the opponent not knowing who they're playing, they get careless until something hits like in the last game c6 then hiki plays b6, and all of a sudden the opponent knows it's a monster on the other side of the board. Biggest advantage the 2250's have over the 1900's is they spot the class of the moves and sit up and concentrate much quicker.

[@AlmostM]

Hikaru's progress has slowed a bit vs these 2200s, but he's still winning an impressive number of games. The ability to make things complicated and win games on time is really coming in clutch.

[@WasyaWasya10]

22:35 Hikaru almost drew in the last game, if he had played d3 instead of taking the knight, rival would have had to put in perpetual check. Damn that was close, even at this high level Hikaru can play without a queen.

[@geometricart7851]

um he's mating 2200s without a queen at BLITZ! Yeah of course he can. To give decent 2200+ players credit though I saw many here just lose to flag in winning positions. LOL

[@iTzMaJorTaK]

No one mentioning the absolutely clutch thumbnail?

[@greennin3560]

hehe starting at 8:43 Hikaru set up a double attack on the King and the Rook and proceeded to talk about literally every other piece on the board marking things and drawing arrows on the right and left. I love when he does this. Opponent didn't fall for it though this time lol

[@plostyle786]

This is like watching MJ play. You don't know what hes up to, how he does it, but you can see the domination, the toying with opponents and the results.

[@No-cw1ps]

The trap Hikaru set at 1:58 is disgusting. Bishop g3 wins the queen if the queen takes the "free" pawn. I would have snaptake the pawn.

[@JDescafeinado]

As an end for this series, would you play with same odds against other players like Levy or Rey Enigma?

[@harrison9890]

Dude they’d both crush him without a queen let’s not be silly.

[@lipschitzlyapunov]

LMAO Levy is an IM, there's not a world where Hikaru would win

[@copyninja_03]

The Thumbnail is Awesome.

[@z0uLess]

the concept of elo hell is such an interesting concept, as there are different norms and metagames in different rankings that some individuals can be stuck at getting through. some people are confident that everyone can climb rating, but this confidence is itself a self-fulfilling prophesy. the concept, as the name suggest, goes to the core thinking of the sociology of religion and challenge our perceptions of what belief really is.

[@jacksonhanson154]

"Castle, move 31, to win the game" 18:05 ... the arrogance and execution is some of the best entertainment I have ever found

[@diederikvalsap4242]

I would love a Botez bullet speed run!

[@11pupona]

The funny thing is that in the last game, computer says that the position is equal!!, @22:37 the only saving move was d3!! (and not Rxd2), opening the space for the black bishop!, the threat of g2 and Bc5+ is just too much and white has nothing better than a perpetual. Any other move loses because of the strong threat of the queen and bishop targeting f7

[@theludvigmaxis1]

[@jptothetree]

That checkmate verse AlonsoValiente was 🔥

[@Compassiron1]

‘A knife on F5 is worth at least a queen’ proceeds to put his bishop there instead… then goes Knight F5 and immediately retreats like a Frenchman. It’s always a rollercoaster following Hikarus thoughts!

[@lipschitzlyapunov]

He put a bishop there so it could be recaptured by a knight so it could stay there permanently

[@naphackDT]

Of course it's worth at least that much. What would serve as better motivation for you to resign? The opponent having a queen or them violently stabbing a knife into the board and staring at you menacingly?

[@ryomensukuna6933]

[@kenjikawakami8033]

Did anyone else catch at 13:53 black plays Bishop e7, Hikaru says he shouldn’t have allowed knight g3, but black plays bishop back to h4 and Hikaru is like, “of course he finds bishop h4; very annoying.”

Everyone in the chat who kept saying Hikaru had a fork in the first game with Ne7, you're wrong.. lol Knight on c6 was guarding e7... Hence why Hikaru took the Knight with his Rook... Why does the chat think they can see obvious forks better than a super GM? lol

Imagine being up a queen on move 5 or 6 but trade everything and push pawns instead of going for checkmate. Those 2000s are annoying 😒

23:39 Wait I'm so confused! Isn't pushing the G pawn winning here? Queen has to prepare to trade on G4, Rook H8 check, King F2, Promotes to Queen, QxG1, RxG1, KxG1, then DxC2, and then game over. Is there something I'm not seeing here?

[@momenmoataz7545]

If you push the pawn king takes rook for free. Even if he doesnt, he doesnt have to go Qg4 because there is no threat of promotion ( rook check king takes pawn)
