Hikaru be like "If it was a game against a 1600, I could finish it before I finish this banana. But heck it's a 2400, so it'd probably take 2 bananas before I'm done thrashing him."

0:23 Why was the king allowed to move to C3 even though he’s still in check ? I’m a big noob at chess sorry

[@generalblaze5767]

No worries, it was a premove meaning it is still legal since the queen wasnt there before the king moved to c3

[@a1exnilsson]

the queen is premoved and moves to b4 first after the king moves to c3 (forced by queen b8 check)

[@andresv.8880]

The King wasn't actually in check, until the queen moved to deliver check. It only looks like the queen was already there because if the premove

[@renehenriksen1735]

Hikaru Nakamura--- I would like your view as a knowledged expert in openingtheory on a little problem. I've found a openingline in Ruy Lopez and would like to know it's current name as the name in the book I have it from isn't what it's called in out modern times. The line goes: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 d6 5. c3 f5 6. exf5 Lxf5 7. d4 e4 8. Ng5 d5 9. f3 h6 10. fxe4 hxg5 11. exf5 Bd6

[@KironKabir]

C74 Ruy Lopez: Morphy Defense, Modern Steinitz Defense, Siesta Variation

[@renehenriksen1735]

Kirken Kabir >>> Thankyou for trying to be helpful. Now Please don't misunderstand my further answer. I knew it's called the Siesta variation. But I've hoped for something else as we'll. The book I have the line from calls it Siestavariation - Nesjmetdinovgambit to be exact. I've tried to ask this before but no one knew about it. Therefore I thought it could be know under another name. Not even the computers recognizes it as the Nesjmetdinov-gambit in the Siestavariation. This I find Strange because everything else in the book I can find online or check with a computer.

[@leapingfury]

@@UnionRing I've always played chess for fun and as one of my hobbies. I invent dubious gambits, sacrifice pieces for no reason, try to get wild attacks, use psychology and mind games. I don't use an engine, don't study theory, don't do puzzles and don't study my own games. If I study chess I might read a book with ideas like Positional Decision Making in Chess by Gelfand. All my real interests are outside of chess.

So the cheating i dont get... Using an engine or mega high rated in disguise and hikaru played a shit opening thinking a lower rated player and got battered early? Whereas solid opening and hes fine? I dont get it.

[@Thejollydodger1]

It is not a standard opening and a normal player at that rank would not be making the moves which were made and at the pace he was making them. There was no thinking on the other player's part into a weird opening, which was his test to see if he was really using an engine as an engine would not have to think about it while even a high level player would take more time. That is why he said he could have done a better job of hiding it. If he delayed a few moves rather then having the engine move for him, then that might have put some doubt into his cheating.

[@tangalexander5561]

In a solid opening, a strong player and an engine is indistinguishable, they both can play the main line out. While Hikaru played irregular opening, that would immediately throw him/it at his/its own resources. From the moves a4 to d5, it is a refutation line that only engine can manage to find it in micro-seconds and win in a clear and clean style while a strong player would take at least a couple of seconds to figure that out. That's why Hikaru immediately convince he s a cheater after d5

[@rhysjones4250]

Thank you both I understand whats happening now makes total sense.

[@self-righteousideologue9398]

How do you know he's cheating? He's moving relatively quick; quicker than 3 seconds but not super quick like it's a software program.

[@ytsamdenyel7929]

I know this is 5 months ago but chat said the guy's account gained 1000 points in the last month and no person would gain that much in 30 days, if its a grandmaster then the account should be authorized and have the gm title on their username.also if a gm is making their own main account they would probably choose expert or if theres a master option when making account.
