HIKARU vs MAGNUS: The Rematch

[@joellyos]

“Without the beads it is super hard”. LMAO!!

[@GMHikaruClips]

He obviously hasn't tried them.

[@ALIGHTFORTHEWORLD]

The casualness he had when he said this was amazing. Pulled it outta his ass like its been there all along, no pun intended.

[@joellyos]

@@ALIGHTFORTHEWORLD yes, the timing and delivery was perfect.

[@Olebull93]

Obviously Hikaru should have checked his stock fish notes more, he hardly looks at the ceiling in this game.

[@bel2144]

2:43 “Without the beads it's super hard”

[@ReklawLah]

You'd think it would be super hard WITH the beads... but maybe we're not talking about the same thing.

[@eliezerzagorin8127]

That's what I was thinking

[@JayTheYTGuy]

That game made me feel like I was in it myself. Super fun competitive game. You could feel the brain power going into every move. This is the highest level and something to really appreciate as fans. Thank god for KZbin and streaming... "and beads lol" - Hans

[@xavierincepierre7773]

Hikaru has flashes of absolute brilliancy but then he lets his mind get the best of him

[@ian9toes]

It’s weird listening to his indecisiveness and seemingly guessing moves. To an outsider they’d think he’s a noob not someone drawing arguably the GOAT of chess.

[@stonedmountainunicorn9532]

*Hikaru not taking the juicer on d6* Me: mh that's a freeby right there, i'm so stupid, there must be some kind of other strategy, i'm so bad at chess for only going for stupid free pawns Hikaru next move: OOHH I MISSED Qd6, I'M SO BAD AT CHESS GUYS Me: Fuck my life.........

[@groundcontrolgainesville4841]

My thoughts exactly

[@jefe9206]

Yep I did the same thing, figured that would be some kind of advanced trap

[@user-lj7gh9mt3s]

i pause the video for one minute trying to figure out what s the strategy and then failed. I was like ok of course i cant understand what s going on with the top super GMs heads.😂😂😂

[@abduldenn6049]

I wear I had the same feels I'm like D6! And then I'm like oh wait there is a 16move hidden idea . Then hikuru says I missed it and I'm like I'm a genius

[@fujiapple9675]

8:44 Hikaru was so close to playing the winning move. The only reason I know, is because of Levy's recap 2 weeks ago. It's hard knowing Hikaru did so well in that game, and its a draw because of a couple of moves under time pressure. Rook endgames are brutal sometimes.

[@SeanDot]

“Without the beads it is super hard” It can get even harder with the beads, so I’ve heard.

[@johnobrien6375]

love seeing hikaru not be that upset // he seems very within himself rn, and its good to see

[@xavierincepierre7773]

Magnus is like kryptonite for Hikaru man

[@edwinrosa4632]

Not only a top GM, but also a good chess teacher.

[@mattquinn2433]

SO CLOSE! Next time u got it

[@rishiarora3589]

Hikaru just needs that real inner belief. He can defo smash Magnus if he had it. Great content

[@harrisonzhu3300]

Lol

[@theonexx762]

In blitz, yes, he's probably best in fast time control in the world. In classical.. hard to say, but I would love to see WC match between those two

[@Ash-rx5wl]

@@theonexx762 In classical it's "hard" to say? U fr bro?

[@theonexx762]

@@Ash-rx5wl Well I didn't mean "hard to say" who's an underdog in that potential fight, it's obv Hika, but hard to say It would be that clear cut, if Hika had done as good as In Berlin lately, he has some chances

[@ivan_9386]

​@@theonexx762 Classical, no. He can win one game, but not 14 games match. Same for blitz, If they play 20-30 games, Magnus wins.

[@torduc22]

Don’t forget to insert the beads next time Hikaru!!

[@botekate]

Hikaru tbh it seems like you only lose / draw to Magnus because you get in your head.

[@christopherweaver5904]

What a blessing to get these two go at it so frequently. It’s like my ex all over again

[@terminator3598]

“If it’s no good then it it’s no good that’s just life”- me on 80% of my moves

[@anaseshmela8512]

Wow amazing game

[@peterhavord5984]

At 5.48 Hikaru said: "It was a mistake by me" but it wasn't because Q x D6 would have won for him !

[@ScrewedupClicksta713]

Without the beads 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 bruh Hikaru be wilding sometimes

[@ckim336155]

magnus speaks for himself

[@nickster3008]

YOU SAID NO TALKING

[@codtrauma8541]

Why do I watch chess videos when I don't even play chess?

[@TSheBiZ]

the casual "without the beads its super hard" HAHAHAHAH

[@ws2769]

3:59 Why is this move allowed? Please help.

[@GMHikaruClips]

It's called "en passant". ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_passant ) If you or your opponent moves a pawn 2 squares, and it lands next to an enemy pawn, then you/they have the opportunity to take it as if it had only moved 1 square on the next move. You only have this chance to capture it on the very next move though. The rationale being that without the 'en passant' rule you could just keep your pawns back and then when your opponent puts their pawn onto your 4th rank, you can just move your pawn 2 squares and never give the opponent a chance to capture it.

[@ws2769]

I see. Thanks for the explanation. Never saw this move before. Only started playing 2 weeks after watching queens gambit and down to 515 rating now 😂

[@spareaccounts5168]

How is this not getting moves/hints/advice from others?

[@somebodyoncetoldme1704]

"sweep the leg" 🤣

[@zeegfajutaum8571]

3:56 can someone explain me how the heck that move is legal? I’m not a chess player and Have never seen that kind of play, like checkers

[@doncarloancelotti2256]

En passant: when a pawn (in this case Magnus) moves *two squares* forward and is adjacent/right next to the opponent pawn, the opponent can play what Hikaru did *diagonally behind* Magnus's pawn and capture it. You can only do en passant the moment it comes, you can't wait for another move afterward to play it.

[@zeegfajutaum8571]

@Don Carlo Ancelotti thank you, never knew about it

[@JCChavz]

Which are the best beads for chess btw? Asking for a friend.

[@charlestwoo]

I bet if Magnus played on an anonymous account he would lose more...not a lot...but definitely more.

[@joeyp3094]

No concept why the pawn wasn't moved forward at the end

[@realityanalyst]

I should have won this game Hikaru

[@krysatheo]

what's the song in the middle of the vid?

[@kermoots9261]

I think he has something, but it's because of the beads

[@jaskiniamestwa]

You gotta loose some for the algoryth...

[@andreapapi6892]

Nice game 👍🏻

[@Paul_Dalangpan]

That was intense.

[@emanuellemieux7296]

Can somebody tell me the name of the song at 3:42 pls?

[@Ramichippi]

So close this time!

[@npc2153]

5:41 this is when hikaru threw the game. He missed the D6 pawn forking the rook and knight. The stress of playing magnus is real.

[@pragalbhjoshi]

Knight was protected by the pawn

[@npc2153]

It was wasnt it. I don't know how i missed that. Good catch.

[@kobil316SH]

He was so scared, can't blame him though

[@diaamondd]

at 1:50 could someone explain why he doesnt move his knight to f4? his knight is doing nothing currently and it is also blocking his lightsquared bishop AND that bishop is blocking the rooks from connecting?

[@itzshft]

Because it blocks the battery with the bishop and queen. He would go from blocking his bishop, to blocking his bishop and queen.

[@diaamondd]

@@itzshft ohh thank you for explaining :)

[@Frisco0311]

How did Hikaru take pawn at 4:00? Am I missing something?
