*me watching this 4 times and still doesn't know what's going on*

[@howareyoumoreofaclownthanme]

It's a little clearer on Hikaru's side but I'll explain how it's a Botez gambit. Basically Anish took the pawn as we see here and expected Hikaru to take his knight with the bishop. However, Hikaru took with his knight which opened up a discovered attack by the far right side bishop. However, since Anish premoved he lost his chance to take Hikaru's queen. Then Hikaru cheekily moves it to the side to avoid losing it.

[@davesvens8697]

Hikaru qsked his subs if they want him to sac the queen and they said yes.. It was for the fun of it.

[@ninetailsfoxkyuubi2744]

Uh, hikaru was supposed to make a foolish move, so that he cpuld sacrifice the queen for the sake of having good content and attracting views. Unfortunately for anish, he premoved, blundering because he was 100% sure that hikaru would have taken with the bishop

[@rsr22.3]

So Anish is white and Hikaru is black. Before the premove by Anish, Anish’s bishop at h4 is pinning Hikaru’s knight at f6 ( “pinning” because if Hikaru moves that knight then Hikaru’s queen is directly attacked by Anish’s bishop). For this reason, Anish never expected Hikaru to capture the white bishop at d5 with his knight from f6, so Anish premoved his knight and lost the chance to capture Hikaru’s queen

[@Kostly]

Mustache stays. smh

[@b34st93]

I don’t understand why is he saying hikaru stream sniped

[@tjaschicksalVegita]

because he premoved and thought hikaru saw it. If Hikaru knows that he premoves he can basically play anything he wants without fear that his queen gets captured

[@lanielas]

Hikaru had to take with his bishop or else he would lose his queen, but because Giri pre-moved Hikaru could take with his knight

[@spaghetti2777]

No worries, Hikaru is forced to take with his bishop because taking it with his knight would reveal his queen to Anish's bishop. So Anish not thinking Hikaru would just leave his queen premoved his knight. Little did he know that Nakamura took it with his knight for content. Funnily enough, as a result, because Nakamura was able to take it with his knight, he was able to keep his bishop and thus preserve a stronger position than he would be in if he bishop traded.
