[@sn3k]

@@ahha2523 I'm no expert in chess, but it's pretty simple - Nxd5 allows Ne5 threatening Nxf3+ with a royal fork, while also opening a discovered attack on the knight. The only way to protect both f3 and the knight is Be2 (Be4 doesn't work because Nxe4 attacks the queen and wins the exchange by a lot). Be2 still loses a knight to Qxd5.

Very impressive tournament Hikaru, thanks for posting! I'm curious - could 'looking on the chat window' be considered 'getting outside help' at all? I know the matches are going by very quickly, but it seems like having this could possibly be considered an advantage. We all saw what happened with Petrosian last week.. and obviously this is VERY different, but I'm curious what would happen if some people in the chat started offering help.

[@GMHikaru]

Mods delete moves in chat. Chat is in sub mode to minimize risk. If there's more than one or two move suggestions during the games, the chat is put in emote only mode.

[@EmperorThePro]

[@reymondwolfe]

Hikaru smashed carlsen during a high pressure speed chess final match whilst whistling, head bobbing and singing terribly. 0 calculation yet absolutely smashed Carlsen. Here, he's an NFL player paired against a collegiate athlete, struggling to grasp the situation, focused entirely, no singing, no dancing. Kramnik, I think, can log all these peculiarities into his upcoming Hikarus Hijinx: The Only GM Who's Base Chess Prowess Skyrocketed Since the North of Online Chess

[@hernysanders2101]

He forgot the camera for his ceiling

[@NonsensGaming]

sony cameras overheat when you use 4K and also charge the cam while using it as the same time you can fix this by not using a battery inside the case with something like a external battery also if you have a flip screen extend it away from the camera body if none of these are a option using 1080p will also fix the overheating issue this applies to almost every A7xIII variation

[@stevelenores5637]

I think I'm starting to understand Hikaru's play. A lot of the middle game is improving piece placement unless there is an obvious trick. Positional play with Tactical awareness. Pawn structure seems to be whatever restricts opponent's activity. So there is some prophylaxes with his play as well but well hidden. Players feel the pressure before they understand the why behind it.
