Hikaru literally doesn't care! Nakamura vs Pragg | Tata Steel Chess India 2022 | Commentary by Sagar

Hikaru Nakamura is one of the best blitz players in the world of chess. In fact when the Tata Steel Chess India began he had an Elo of 2909 making him the number one blitz player in the world. In the last round of the tournament he was up against Praggnanandhaa, one of the best talents out there. It was an encounter that everyone was waiting for! Hikaru had the white pieces and opened with 1.c4. Pragg responded with 1...e5 and we had an extremely original position after just a few moves! Who came out on top? Did the world class GM win or the prodigious 17-year-old youngster?

Top commentary sagar

Hikaru was looking away from the board most of the time . Most of his moves were premoved in his mind. Prag tried all sorts of Tricky tactics but they didn't work at all in front of Hikaru's superiority.

I am new to chess, can't understand a lot of moves but at the end, the checkmate move was mind blowing . I wanted some help, i play a game called chess king, I can beat the bot till medium level but at the hard mode, i always lose. I want to excel till the grandmaster level bot . So please tell my how can I defeat the bot at hard level. I am playing with the bot( hard level) from the past 6 months

[@alonehands1835]

bots will not help you in developing your game, playing strong human players and solving tactics will get you far and if you are older than 15 being a grand master is impossible or extremelyyyyyy difficult , so just enjoy the game instead of trying to reach some arbitrary level which is almost impossible to attain for 99% of the general population

[@utkarshvijay8136]

@@alonehands1835 i agree that playing real humans is necessary but I want to learn some basic tactics and moves that will help in competing against them. If I can not defeat hard level bot then how can I defeat good human players?

[@bohemiankhichdi1090]

@@utkarshvijay8136 That's not how learning works. The very AI bot you are trying to beat also didn't learn that way. It probably played thousands of real games against a rival engine or itself. You need to play entire games against real humans to get used to pattern recognition. Suggestion - Play one opening with white and one with black and stick to it. That way, you can master said opening and the different variations that arise out of those.

Commentator sees the engine and database alongside the match, so he/she automatically sees the best/suggested moves by engine, as well as the evaluation bar. But being a GM partially plays a part in that

You are right, i always think like they have some ego to not giving shit to each other

you're absolutely right. was thinking the same thing. very few players give respectable handshakes, its quite a shame. Look your opponent in the eye, give them a firm shake and have some fkn respect for yourself and your opponent. Day 1 stuff

Why didn’t Nakamura just went Rook H6, instead of Knight H6? I just geniunely want to know because I only have few knowledge of this Game

The ending played by Hikaru is forced due to the check. The ending you suggest results in just trading black queen for white rook.

[@xyzer586]

He literally dosen't care

Because knight h6 puts the king in check on contrary rook h6 puts pressure on the queen ultimately u win only if u checkmate the opponent , not by taking their queen

WOW!,…On Hikaru’s Knight H6: If Prag moves H8, It’ll be Force Checkmate on Knight F7(Check) and Queen H7 Checkmate If Prag moves G7, It’s also Force Checkmate but a longer and suffering scenario, Hikaru will go Knight F5(Check) Prag can’t falls back to G8, Because Hikaru can Knight E7(Check) and Checkmate on Queen H7 If Prag moves G6 after Hikaru’s Knight F5(Check), Then Hikaru would move his Knight(Either D4 or D6) for Discover-Check on Queen And again Prag can’t fall back because of,Queen H7 Checkmate If Prag moves G5 after Discover-Check, Hikaru can just Mate Prag on Pawn F4 and Rook H4 Genius
