Hope Hans never stop trash talking. I can't get enough of him getting destroyed

[@Everythingbland321]

I was expecting hans to win against hikaru considering his so called "improvement". I'm more on hikaru side (cuz i like him as a chess player). But I wasn't expecting hikaru to beat hans like this. Truly a masterclass

[@Alone-h6o]

so true i thought hikaru would show hans some sympathy like magnus did but he literally obliterated him nahh i don't think hans will ever recover from this 🤣🤣

[@handerly7992]

win against hikaru? in his own game? (blitz/bullet) that was not even a possibility, especially after the semifinals match, hikaru gave him a better beating than magnus.

[@Everythingbland321]

@@handerly7992 i know. I overestimated hans so called "improvement". I thought his improvement would be better than what he has done in the tournament.

[@only_win5476]

Niemann is the prequel of an Ipad kid. In school he already had his trips after making an IQ test, thinking he's someone special. The fact that he is not playing a role is insane.

[@ryantres85]

Hikaru has nothing to prove anymore. Hans still has to explain why he is a cheater lol

[@bobbobert9379]

Dude is only 15 years younger than Hikaru. If, according to him, Hikarus chess career is coming to a close because of his age, by the time Hans is Hikaru's age now, Hikaru will only be in his 50s.

[@AZAZVE]

Hikaru will play better in his 70's than Hans now Not 21-9, of cource, probably something like 17-13 =)

[@Or1colle]

@@AZAZVE I see, what you did there :)

[@bipolarminddroppings]

@@AZAZVE Hans would struggle to beat Kasparov today, and there's a difference of 40 years. He will never be on Hikaru or Magnus's level, even when they are declining. They've both got at least 200 elo on him, probably more in Blitz, unless they both completely quit chess like Kasparov did, they will never get bad enough for Hans to beat them consistently.

[@Saltywengiell]

@@bipolarminddroppings He wouldnt struggle against kasparov, look at his recent matches you know nothing. And if hans keeps up the pace he did this year, he will absolutely challenge them even more.

Kudos to Hans though, not many people can say they got absolutely railed by both Magnus AND Hikaru and still walk out of the room with an ego. Fair play to him.

[@DelFlo]

Not sure if that’s a good thing though 😅 if you can’t get humbled you can’t grow either

Surprised he was even able to still walk after the railing he got

It’s hard for him to walk out due to the vibrator.

[@QuCaNi]

3:11 That's actually an instructive endgame win. Going for the pawn race doesn't work 1.Kc4?? Ke3 2.Ng1 Kf2 3.d5 Kxg1 4.d6 Kh2 is just a draw as both players queen their pawn. However, White can save a tempo by not playing Kc4 at all. 1.Ng1! Ke3 2.d5?? Kf2 3.d6 Kxg1 4.d7 Kh2 is still a draw since both sides promote, this time it's just White who promotes first. The winning line goes 1.Ng1! Ke3 2.Nh3! Kf3 3.Kd3! (or Kd2) Kg3 4.Ng1! Kf2 5.Ne2! and the knight is defended. This is the only winning idea and not so easy to spot with 4 seconds.

So he is saying that Hikaru has to enter a dementia stage in order for him to lose to Hans. Makes sense.

[@himynameisjon1641]

You can buy elo but you can't buy skill... Hans Niemann showing his "true strength". Maybe Hans needs a new photographer.

[@mizofan]

He is a talented player but has weaknesses.

[@Toopa88]

None of your comment makes sense to be honest? Hans didn't buy ELO and cherry-picking a small sample of (bad) games to say "that's his true strength" makes no sense. I may as well cherry-pick Hikaru's underwhelming performance against Alireza and say "that's his true strength". What's the point of that?

All bs aside, Hans at least competed. He got through many of chess GMs and got KOd by Magnus and Hikaru. What about you? Who are you to mock someone for losing a game against super GM? If you are going for the same level of disrespect that Hans shows, do it before matches, not after.
