Hikaru Nakamura's Insane Endgame Calculation | FIDE Grand Swiss 2023

[@cloudforest4087]

The dialogue that happens in their minds after each game is awesome.

[@adilinio9099]

Hikaru closes the pen cap after each move

[@nikitkothale2388]

Damn

[@bhusee02]

Weird!!! Saw Abdussatorov do the same thing in the previous round. Seems the chess geniuses have got some OCD.

[@X.Com__]

Civilized person 😂

[@alwysrite]

good observation

[@Milsiz]

In those time controlls it can dry out easily😅

[@susbedo9258]

Perfect endgame.

[@Funnygooner10]

That fork in the end 😅

[@rolandasriskus6239]

Amazing hikaru end game skills

[@ManuShivannaprakash]

At 10.27 alexy shocked we’re hikaru going after king take pawn

[@shucklesors]

@@NA-mk6jr i thought that that was the rule formally, and in practice it was more like you couldnt leave the playing hall so long as its not a hall where there were audience (with smartphones) around

[@tator9798]

Of course you can leave the board whenever you want, that is extremely common. The only weird thing here is that Hikaru left just after his opponent played a move, which doesn't happen too often. Alexey maybe thought it was disrespectful, since Hikaru is basically saying he is so confident he is going to win now that he doesn't even need to worry about the clock. Considering how simple the ending was after that point i seriously doubt Alexey thought hikaru left to get some sort of assistance lol

[@thenewguy7527]

surgical precision in the endgame

[@stanlearner5102]

the fight for the c5 pawn was intense

[@dragonforcekike13]

Wow brutal endgame

[@alien3041]

I’m so curious about what they talked about after games

[@stanlearner5102]

precision wins. black was going through the motions after the queen exchange.

[@manifestyourlife6]

I'm curious the dialogue after the game, Sarana seemed shocked when talking with Hikaru lol.

[@abdulkadirsumara9533]

What a end game

[@mouradaissani8957]

nice rings Naka

[@JasonHernandez-ix3ru]

You're on drugs if you actually think Naka is cheating. He's one of the best in the world and has been one of the best for over a decade. Stay mad lil bro.

[@denogray3483]

That was so hot. That math he did was crazy I know he knew it would have to be a dark space but that was nuts.

[@ChaleZheng]

He could promote to knight instead of queen

[@tryreadingmore4440]

It seems to me that the sound was was off a split second when each hit his clock…weird.

[@MasterMoose04]

I want to see all of the players reaction to a super loud fart

[@brendanknott3761]

Hikaru expressions 😂

[@jxzzz0320]

why did the their time increased at 7:38?

[@ericksonhernandez4240]

Ese fue un cálculo brutal!!!!

[@sirlaughsalots]

Hikaru dropping his paper at the end is pure comedy lol

[@aaron9361]

Why Bc3 if only to move it right back to d2?

[@musical_lolu4811]

Fascinating

[@euaggelionmartinus]

How long did they play? I can't read the clock

[@htser3397]

That was filthy by hikaru

[@AkhrietuoKesiyie-e9i]

He got a style mann

[@mouradaissani8957]

12:23 naka engine ==> off

[@nyztan0]

Kramnik! Is that you? I'm a fan of your blog!

[@darkonikitovic3043]

Come on Sarana

[@anonymous-Ha_Ha.]

‏‪7:23‬ Why not just take the knight?

[@danielb2785]

I also thought so.

[@MrBarrynicholas]

Messed up when he got the Queen

[@AAAAAAAAA11122]

if he takes i take

[@akshat8929]

Wht if pawn g1 knight?

[@Patrick-tl1yf]

What you smoking?

[@pepechad2807]

why hikaru didnt take the knight? 7:26

[@francolisztchopin]

Because ITS blunder idk why blunder, but king move is best move

[@ayushmishra7767]

If it take the knight then there will be queen check and subsequently h2 will be taken and then h3 will be a passer

[@anonymousyt3547]

Qa1+ check is there and then queen will shift to other side of the boards resulting in pawns falling and checkmate threats + Alexey will get a passed pawn

[@the-uglythe-ugly-and-the-u3825]

Perpetual check is coming with the queen on the other side of the board

[@adhil6621]

If white queen takes the knight then queen check is comming and the only way to defend is to sacrifice your queen that is why he didnt take the knight

[@MaruBlanca-w2s]

That was amazing!!!!

[@The_riteshsoni]

End 🎉

[@chandanraj31]

He must promote to knight

[@rajprakashsingh131]

no , he can not stop A pawn

[@stagna1959]

Knight endgame is always a bitch. Makes players brain hurt .

[@ahmedboukadida5437]

That's an asmr video tho😂

[@kesesoventi2]

Tokimoto Kawasaki plays very good.

[@joseeduvigisdiaz2759]

Call an ambulance... but not for me!!!

[@ArthurBalfour-rq8ew]

Where did GM Sarana make his crucial mistake ? Anyone?

[@gunarr6]

my thoughts are giving up his bishop on e7 with Nd5 at 4:19. was holding black's structure together. sadly i think thats what cost him but who knows. he couldve played a better endgame after the queen exchange but still.

[@KNNY61]

Why they even play that lost endgame for so long?

[@QuantumKurator]

Dees Knights

[@Jisan49908]

11:48 king a 8 normal move 😅 But he plays a 6😂

[@X.Com__]

Doesn't matter because one knight won't be able to stop two pawns😊

[@tocode5434]

Well, in case you forgot, hikaru also has a king, and he can reach the other of the table faster and promote his pawn when white king was busy taking the knight on b8
