Can Hikaru Pass Alexandra's Highest Rating?? | Botez Gambit Speedrun 47

[@Shome2049]

13:38 " I am still down a rook but I got two bishops." Next second: Plays Bxf3

15:40 finally the REAL BOTEZ GAMBIT

I use that opening every game

[@emlameyer]

YOUR FINAL BOSS SHOULD BE ALEXANDRA HERSELF.

[@chefo.o1485]

She gonna trade everything and then win, I guess

[@LorenzoStroe]

@@chefo.o1485 bruh they lose against hansen with insane time odds, hikaru would beat her easily without a queen

[@nephandi2316]

Eric Rosen won a whole match against her, with the rule that he had to sac his queen by move 10

[@EliteCubingAlliance]

Yeah, 2371 is just her peak blitz rating. He would probably beat her.

[@billpapadopoulos7912]

This would be super fun!

[@mikeh2385]

This speedrun is becoming dangerously close to the most impressive things I have ever seen

[@jensino]

Would be funny if Alexandra is able to improve her peak blitz rating during this speedrun to make it harder for Hikaru to finish this series. 😂

[@barzorrr]

'' I have 2 bishops'' Immediately trades it right after 13:42

[@楊學翰-m8m]

11:46 "Ah whatever, it's a safe sack" 😂😂

Best idea for a chess speed run! Hopefully this series will get a sequel or follow-up at some point in the future :)

Idea for Sequel- Beating GMs without a Queen

@@akkitheguy nah would be too hard. Maybe he could sack both bishops and play without bishops all game (can't sack em for the opponents bishops or knights, only pawns)

For the final we want Alexandra Botez herself

[@blakestone8891]

hikarus use of the bishop pair is amazing something i stuggle to do

[@iamovzo7175]

hi Hikaru , today I just found out the mother of my child cheated on me with my brother three times ! And my cousin once ! Yet when you lost your queen for a pawn it still coaxed a smile out of me . Chess is powerful and so are your videos . Just wanted you to know that .

[@wojciechwodarczyk8679]

Best morning news - to see new Botez Gambit

[@soheib7706]

Hikaru: Yaaay she loses the knight means we are even which means I am winning yay!!!

[@kheireddineattala1281]

Alternative title : Hikaru outbotezing Botez

[@2k9bulb2k9]

Is that the first time you really blundered the queen this series

[@barun9665]

Hi Hikaru , as promised in episode 1 of the series, please sac for rook now onwards

[@TimmyVision]

It’s very hard

[@brianspiller9034]

I think that would be easier for Hikaru to win. He sacs the queen rather early in the game but not before he’s somewhat happy with his setup. In order to access the rook the game will be much further advanced… which is what he’s doing now sacrificing his queen after several moves for a bishop or knight. He admits if he sacs the queen for a pawn immediately Vs 2200-2300 he would get mowed down. So I suspect if you had to play Vs a Super GM until a rook is available to be taken Naka would have the same chances if not better.

[@barun9665]

@@brianspiller9034 yes but he can take on G or B pawn woth queen to take rook. And sac the queen

[@clashdevil2925]

I know you have already thought about this but I should started sacing the queen for a rook actually

[@oloyt6844]

How do you know he SSed?

[@ETBrooD]

@@oloyt6844 Because nobody ever plays e5

[@alanhuang3005]

He played e5 about a second and a half after the pre move. Twitch delay varies between 5 and 25 seconds, so even if he was stream sniping, e5 was not a result of that

[@AnCoSt1]

@@alanhuang3005 a) e5 is not a move, and b) Hikaru plays Qf6 in SO many games, it is an easy prediction.

[@oloyt6844]

E5 is a move wtf?

Good to see Hikaru does indeed have a megapint

[@willtaylorchess]

seeing Hikaru beat players rated 300 more than me down a queen gives me faith to play out every lost endgame instead of rage quitting hahaha

[@dre4mz749]

@@endlessentertainment6867 The only reason these 2000+ player are loosing is because of time pressure, im 2100 and I would crush hikaru down a Queen in a rapid game, not 3 min blitz though. 2000+ understand the game very well, but they dont have the intuition and game sense of a GM who has played 100000 more matches than them

[@kentso8888]

he's confident to sac he's queen cuz GM's are in a different level

[@mikeytaylor2865]

I can’t believe you’ve made me a fan of this intro lol.

[@christopherglontz8810]

It’s so good!

[@David-lb6uf]

Idea: If you feel like you can't keep going on with the Speedrun at a certain rating, start sacrificing the queen for more material so that this great series can continue!

[@cokomairena]

This ended a long time ago

why not Nxb2 in the last game, at least there would have been a chance for a fork

@hikaru what rating could u think u could get playing rapid in this speedrun?

[@manifestyourlife7]

lol these thumbnails, Hikaru has no shame and I'm here for it.

[@mallow316]

Could very easily get 2 pieces if he put the bishop in the center behind the queen. When they attack with the bishop you get that and their knight

[@wstrat3623]

Yeah but that'd be too easy

[@Kaador]

uuuh 10:30 am, coffee, bread and a new video in the morning. Your evening I think^^

Thx Hikaru Sir I enjoy your wisdom of the game of Chess I love need and want more of Sir I still haven't been able to beat our champion at work he's been playing chess for 20years I'm a 53 year old man and I have only been playing for 2 to 3 years agamator I know I beat his name up I apologise and you Hikaru Sir have made the world of chess so wonderful I can't stop playing chess thx Hikaru Sir love your channel

nice intro nakamura.

[@ritmaboe7475]

I guess they should rename it to the hikaru gambit

[@BrunoFrac]

Why didn't he take the horse on b2 with the rook on 3:03?

[@Thunder-wd6tm]

It's weird because gm's mostly play perfect games with less blunders(piece blunders) so they don't expect blunders as much, I guess that's the reason why he didn't see it edit: ok NEVERMIND gms dont miss free knights LOL,

[@Shome2049]

Because.... If Rxb2 then black will capture the knight on d5 (Bxd5) and you can't play exd5 because Qxe1

[@phalgunaraoch7657]

There is Bxd5 for black after Rxb2

[@vinothkumar1220]

If Rxb2, then Bxd5 and the e pawn can't take the bishop because Qxe1

[@swifttt]

i wonder

[@PeterPerhac]

rating climb from 2331 to 2328... However sacking the queen for a pawn on move 3 was due to lack of attention.
