"that was a terrible game but at least I won" - I need a tshirt that says this.

[@nuagor]

Nice. 53:16

[@AbhishekKumar-uu4uj]

Nice idea

[@-ChrisD]

Marcin, genius idea!

[@andreijaaj3978]

Marcin Ratajczyk look at Hikaru won with only 0.01 s 🤯😱 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoS5Y2uEobqLpc0

[@naenette1854]

consider it having been stolen

[@z17seattle]

The double-clicking is like writing down every move on your scoresheet, twice.

[@andrew-m]

40:39 "I'll play something more normal this time." Seconds later, plays the Frankenstein-Dracula Variation.

@Bruce Wayne it's a 2100 wtf do you expect?

[@zakthayer9315]

@Bruce Wayne If knight takes on e4 then MrCotta can play pawn to d5 forking Hikaru's knight and bishop

[@asmithgames5926]

Top GM's streaming blitz games and posting it on YT... what a great time to be alive!!!

[@jaconova]

Agree!

[@luizantoniofrancaescobarfi1217]

Perfect comment.

[@BielemaSupporter]

Recently have come back to chess after being away from the game for a few years, I can say the streaming is definitely larger now than it was last time I was involved with the community. It’s a smart way to expand the game and will only do good for it.

[@ravishraj7319]

"I feel like Somehow this long diagonal should lead to a lot of pain and suffering. Ooooohhhhh....." NAKAMURA

[@wooshbait36]

Stfu scammer

[@twoking10]

So, just to clarify, runs 26 wins in a row against very strong players, I noticed many of them were in the 2400-2600+ range, while half the time talking about things like maybe going to Antartica. Insane.

[@FeetOnTheMountains]

"When in doubt, sac a queen." --GM Hikaru

[@alanramirez7123]

Nakamura, you're such an incredible player.

[@BurgerlijkGehoorzaam]

Watching these chess games teaches me small but important things about life. Great similarities. Thank you Nakamura.

[@shoki2777]

I've been watching his videos just for studying English, not studying chess.

[@user-jh4if4og5y]

Same, kinda

[@counterstrike1110]

wtf is with the double clicking man??

[@bicyclethief]

Naka Goes Streaking is a clickbait title that makes me feel weird

[@yourdedcat-qr7ln]

bicyclethief its makes me feel warm inside happy christmas mate

[@gameon-z-250]

God knows how his mind workes

[@jeremysmith986]

Weird he talks about himself in third person. He needs mushrooms.

[@jersker67]

How is it clickbait? He goes on winsteaks. However your mind perceived it is your problem. Definitely not clickbait though.

[@venyl8204]

[@abinashmandal6202]

i dont wonna take but i will..i mean why not

[@kentosan2365]

this long diagonal will lead to a lot of pain and suffering. sounds like my life haha

[@johnfitch5334]

Chess is more important than Halloween

[@brois841]

Wow, this was so instructive!! There were times Naka didn't take "free" material that I would have gone for... had to pause and compute the lines... it wasn't free. Great learning watching him play!

[@-ChrisD]

Games starts and Nakamura won't answer the door even though it's just kids trying to get some candy on Halloween. That opening was called "Check or treat", I believe.

[@parththakkar9383]

it's an absolute joy to watch hikaru play blitz when he's in the flow!!

[@sebastienchartier7549]

Iklikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[@Leftyslife]

3:10 kids in my neighborhood they write your address down next year your house gets egged

[@genomos90]

my guess is you would NOT have been lost after losing a bishop against a 1393 player haha

[@paulcervenka]

I noticed that you drag your pieces and then click after you move the piece. Just an observation but you might save some time not adding that extra mouse click. Especially in close end games. I don't know if this is something you talked about before but hope it's a helpful comment. Keep killin it!

[@koen5396]

i think He has it set to toggle, so he has to click to confirm the move.

[@Dante-fe6dm]

Guys you have to double click the mouse to move if you activated the chess beta about three months ago. It is a problem chess.com has been trying to resolve, but it will take a while to fix completely. Nakamura commented on this about a week ago on stream saying that he may go back to lichess if the problem continues.

[@raducuvlad2187]

Hangs piece against 1400, he doesn't take it , in front of 1000 people

[@beyondlimits8159]

shutup

[@MBpotts]

If you take a shot every time he says "what am I doing" or "I've gotta move fast" you'll have alcohol poisoning by the end.

[@aleksandarm260]

why does he double clicks after every move...carlsen does the same

[@TheMarksT]

What are you doing? Think you just pulled an Eric Hansen there bro, from years ago! Lol, adds to the entertainment. Thanks Hikaru! You're awesome! Good games, for real, so just proving you're human, again for real.

[@peterzwegat2621]

Hey wish to see some more stuff from you :) big inspiration

[@arthurguerra3832]

0:36 Come oon... Of course you are a genius, Naka! hahaha

[@imbored4615]

hikaru is still wondering the meaning of that bishop h6

[@caralproductora]

17:40 Instead of g2, Rxc2+ Kxc2 Bxg1 Rxg1 Qc5+ -+

[@Vedioviswritingservice]

RolloOrollo, Sweetheart, you are going to kick yourself for all eternity for missing Qxd5+ 16.47.

[@XiSparks]

1:19:47 That calculation!!!

[@qberking2006]

What is that double clicking though?

[@jmoney1941]

What is he doing with the mouse? Why is he double clicking so hard to place a piece?

[@tombokany9442]

16:53 'omg ! I just hanged d5 I would have just lost the game right there !' Me (having no clue): hmm, so you call this game: chess? =)

[@safardamirli]

1:21:58 Naka dont see mate with Q h4 ))) Hikaru Nakamura the best

[@spirou2012]

Qh4 is not mate o0

[@hypexrayyan9466]

funny Naka playing a 1300 player, and blundering, and the guy didn't see it

Rollo should have offered a draw!

[@michaelsanagustin1699]

cmon Hikaru how are u rated 3000+ but cant tell that a sword w a gun would clearly beat a gun w a sword

[@Whiteowl116]

How does he plan ahead his moves, like what buttons?

[@jul059]

Do something about your mouse click!

[@jersker67]

Why is he double and triple clicking when moving a piece? Strange.

[@wooshbait36]

Noone asked you anything, fuck off you ignorant and ungrateful fuck

[@jordanweeks9100]

8:16 what's stopping Hikaru from taking bishop on D7?

[@salchow1931]

He would end up with same material and prob worse position.

[@mrsommer84]

16:44 hi hikaru. you're playing a 1393. Do you never watch yout opponent's rating?

[@hypexrayyan9466]

I won hikaru

Doesn't really do anything. Just bishop to g7 or f8.

Im wondering about how much rating Nakamura lose if he did lose against the 1300-rated player? and im betting that Erik is avoding Nakamura because he's getting crushed?

Thank you, guys!

[@Reliquancy]

I was just thinking they could do keyboard control, like press a letter from asdfghij and a number 12345678... and that would select a square, and then another pair and that would mean move the piece on the first square to the second. I think once you got used to it it would be a lot faster than the mouse.
