welcome to morocco ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@hoodedassassin201]

The fact that we can get practically unlimited content from one of the greatest player to ever do whenever we want still blows my mind. Imagine access to this back in the 1900's

[@eliasjak]

I had the great opportunity to get Hikaru to sign my father board that I use my dad was even happier than me thank you Hikaru for being such cool dude and welcome back to Morocco anytime soon

[@user-re7jn4os5u]

The venue was beautiful also

[@jalalfiguigui7936]

It was amazing to see you playing in such a beautiful palace, with such beautiful architecture! We hope to see you again in Morocco soon 🇲🇦❤️🇲🇦❤️🇲🇦❤️

[@AnIdeaMind]

Welcome to Morocco ❤, had fun watching you play live

[@hamzamasbahi]

So glad you got to enjoy your time in Morocco ❤️🇲🇦. Please come back again !!

[@abdelwahabelkenti1871]

I had the pleasure of meeting you and taking a photo with you... welcome to Morocco and we hope to see you again.

[@RainManFights]

I never thought i would be a fan of a Chess Player / Streamer, but here I am glued to Hikaru videos on the daily.

[@TactfulWaggle]

Much love to you Hikaru from Morocco! it was fun having you here!

[@DarkRedZane]

That long castle timing was very crucial as it would have prevented all of those problems created by white queen infiltrating left side. Good game both of you sirs 👍

[@othmanekkkkkk6806]

Love you from morroco ❤️❤️

[@FrancescoCarucci]

The "bye" at the end is simply the cutest thing on KZbin period.

[@CrookedNose2131]

Really? He just said bye and waved. I get kittens and little kids being cute, but a grown man saying bye?

[@maciehubler-zt6pp]

shut up hikaru is amazing and everything he does is cute

[@CrookedNose2131]

Grow up.​@@maciehubler-zt6pp

[@MrPawnpusher]

Great event, loved the coverage of the recaps.

[@gffg387]

Oh, awesome to know that Hikaru enjoyed the format. Hoping to have more of this kind of events.

[@youssefelmelhaoui7332]

welcome to Morocco Hikaru , ur content is so fun to watch

[@youneshanafi5652]

I've been there saw live .. unfortunately couldn't take a picture! Ur always welcome to Morocco man, u r actually loved in here !!!

[@cosmicsoullove]

very cool event, very cool location, glad you had fun and some great chess!

[@TJHeezy]

absolutely fabulous analysis, we are so lucky to have this kind of insight from a super gm

[@FitFactHub]

Welcome to Morocco anytime!

[@OblivionEight]

I hope more tournaments like this happen

Although you didn’t win, you had fun, which is the most important.

[@walidayach8623]

It's shame I couldn't see you here in Casablanca since I have exams coming up. I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Morocco, it genuinely makes me happy to hear that from you.

[@ayoubmoutaoukil4339]

i'm form casablanca morocco, i didn't have the chance to take a picture with you unfortunately but i loved that you were happy here❤

[@ilyateev_ilyass]

Morroco loves you hikaru thank u for signing and the photo❤🙏

[@insensibility]

Happy to see that you enjoyed!

[@traceler]

The most important thing in those Historic games is to mention Who played that game, when and where. It is not mentioned here or I miss it,

[@zaperizzz6659]

This setup has such a good vibe, loving your gameplay aswell!❤ Hope you’re enjoying Morocco !!🇺🇸 🇲🇦

[@Patrick462]

Love the mysterious lighting. Hikaru smiled at me probably!

[@Fadhilah-gk2mz]

very interesting chess variant, hopefully they make it on classical format or at the very least long rapid, given how complicated some of the positions are

[@AsmaeGevara]

Welcome to your second country morocco everybody know you and likes you here ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-yp8gg7gw2n]

That ending... Was rooting for you so much.

[@TheLFeniX]

thanks Hikaru, i learned from this video how to count in spanish

[@andrewgr144]

Seeing all of the comments from Moroccans is heartwarming. Hikaru is a great ambassador for Chess, and it's possible that if there was some way to objectively measure how much each individual person has done to popularize the game of Chess, he might be up there in the top 5 ever (that 2.3 million subscribers number at the time of this writing is mind-boggling compared to what anyone would have thought possible just a decade ago.)

[@rhounaoufal5490]

Thank you for attending our Event, and thanks for this huge statement. Wish you good Luck.

[@lonniekwartler8396]

This format resembles checkers. When I met some of the top US checker players in the sixties, they told me checker tournaments used openings selected randomly. Checker openings were more figured out than chess.

[@manuelzrm1265]

Explain this format pls

[@JanDarkyy]

​@@manuelzrm1265 they begin the match from a given position , said position is chosen from a "historic game" (old game between 2 great chess players)

[@lightofscorpio9396]

black's position against magnus looked so scary to me. ofc im noob at chess though. this Casablanca and the freestyle GOAT/fischer random event were very exciting tbh.

[@ayoubtarkane]

I was incredibly lucky to attend and watch you playing live

[@abdosarwet1293]

the amount of respect he has to dr bassem amin ...i mean how cant you love nikaru hakamura

[@cesarmartinaguirrearagon4076]

When he said "First American World Champion" I went "Did Hans already make it and I don't know about it?" xD

[@Stender_]

lol classic hans

[@BofaDeezKnights]

No Hans is the future first American World Champion.

[@vishaalkumaranandan2894]

27 years memory still haunts hikaru

[@radulovvic]

11:14 Magnus Vs Hikaru

[@mohamedtallaaat]

We are looking for hikaru vs bassim amin not magnus

[@mouadovic04]

Always welcome to be here in Morocco, Naka ❤️🇲🇦

[@anissbenthami]

I'm happy that you enjoyed it

[@maheshsharma6890]

Hikaru, good luck for the rest of the tournament. Well played...

[@aliyonko4092]

Welcome to Morocco 🎉❤

[@ONoesBird]

Happy to see Hikaru happy again and meddling in chess.

[@donsurlylyte]

i like this idea of a format as an occaisional change from normal chess.

[@Don-ev5ov]

I love the idea. I played many of the masters' old games from a book I can no longer find, with Tal becoming my favorite.

[@RajeshSingh-rt4rx]

Love you brother, for "The Editor" and Hikaru.

[@omar4life_]

Welcome To Morocco Hikaru , U are the best player for me ❤❤

[@michaelmassaro4375]

I’m Glad you enjoyed the tournament Magnus did play very well throughout as you said I also think you could’ve been sharper yourself you did have some really good games though Good Luck in Norway

[@Budiono_Siregarrr]

The funny is Hikaru trying to impress us with that new way he counting with some languanges, hahahahaha

[@barnabasastrofengia5345]

Nice games Hikaru… seems that many of these chess events end up as finals, between yourself and Magnus. It really is so very impressive by the both of you (it’s kinda like you are each others chess kryptonite) ❤️❤️❤️🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️

[@samuelmoisan9249]

I liked this video, especially the ending

[@siroff9712]

Welcome to Morocco legend

[@faycelacimi1084]

As a hikaru fan... Seeing u playing magnus is always frustrating 😂 this guy never misses !!!

[@JamesJoyce12]

Today's Evans Gambit was truly epic - I can die a happy man if we get a truly crazy KGA position sometime!

Hikaru counting pawns in Spanish made my day 🤣

[@stevencox8771]

How nice it was for fans to meet you, Hikaru. I am sure a thrill for them and you make a great ambassador the game, for the US and for peace and civility among the nations. Thanks for enabling fans to meet the Great and Powerful Nakamura!!

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

I love this format.

[@ZLKYass]

You are always welcome Hikaru. You are the reason I resumed playing chess. And you probably need to visit more Moroccan cities and towns, you gonna enjoy more your trip. Again, welcome anytime Hikaru.

[@edgarsmith9102]

Thanks ever for the fantastic content

[@Philiopantheon82]

Win, lose or draw, still everyone enjoys the Hikaru vs Magnus classics and its even more pleasure to have them in a such a monumental archaic and cultural arena like Casablanca and play a simulation of legendary encounters from past masters..

[@dududududu6019]

I am happy that we see Hikaru and Magnus together in the events, no matter who wins or loses.

[@etestg7333]

I don't know about you, but every time Hikaru says "so", it feels like he's warning us of Wesley making his appearance. 😯

[@jjjyli686]

Strongest player of africa is a mere mortal for hikaru and magnus

[@ccflan]

As a Moroccan man you gave me a Good laugh , f you 😂😂😂

[@RegraguiAbdessamad]

Nah man dont forget, amin bassem is also a full time doctor, just the fact that he is able to go against these super gms and go back to being a doctor shows that he is pretty talented

[@scottshaffer5205]

Hikaru, what do you think of the time control for this format?

[@tannerhachey1525]

This new format is a really cool idea!

[@tannerhachey1525]

Maybe it's not new but this is the first time I've seen or heard of this****

[@ahmedjebbad9807]

I hope you will participate next year also it was fun

[@lucid13311]

Thank you

[@Mike_Rottchburns]

Thank you, Hikaru, for teaching us how to count in French

[@ibrahimzitouni5191]

hello best streamer in the world and Welcome to Morocco

[@moodman6426]

I hope magnus stays on this form for norway chess, its going to be an insane event

[@DeeJayOJTV]

welcome to morocco ❤🎉

Bassem Amin the Egyptian king 👑🇪🇬🇪🇬

[@mxm5783]

New drinking game: take a shot every time Hikaru says "simply."

[@lucid13311]

Thank you.

[@orenawaerenyeager]

0:58 Hikaru mentioning he has memories from 27 yrs old game Meanwhile me & his average viwers who haven't even aged 27 yrs

[@arcverson4963]

Welcome to Morocco 🙌 We need to step up our chess game in Africa, a full time doctor who play chess as a side hobby shouldn't be the best player in the continent

[@josephtattum6365]

Melcome to Worocco

[@underdog578]

Well done!

[@thesubhumancomedy]

I love your tempo. If you want, you can pause.

[@manjilmanjil3003]

It proves Vishy's strength at this age is still 2700+ As you can see Baseem Amin struggling being a 2682 rated player.

[@JulianHoving]

Amins rating is like 2550

[@feinfein4444]

It's rapid and it's not their opening repertoire, so it has nothing to do with the classical rating, it isnt indicative of how good you are at Casablanca chess

[@strochinger]

His french is perfecto!

[@Hollafoot]

Welcome to Morocco , we love in God

[@caichentube]

Can't wait for more events like this, perhaps in classical time control. I think 15+10 is too short for this format.
