Hikaru is just casually chatting with streamers while he’s mindlessly humiliating 1900s with trash gambits. And here I am, sweating blood over battling 1200s. The gap of possible growth is so steep in this sport it’s mind-blowing. And the engines are pushing 3800s and can smash this guy..

Skydiving is not only for the adrenaline dump. It’s for the clarity of mind. There is nothing like when they say one minute out and you stop forgetting about the shit that holds no value yet it’s stuck in your brain. That all seems to disappear and then when they say 30 seconds even more of the useless junk in your mind fades and you just worry about doing what you need to in those next few minutes/seconds. Such a great cleaner of the mind.

[@masser4555]

Where exactly is the Hillbilly gambit i dont see anybody using Caro-Kann against him but maybe i'm just blind and missing it.

[@he96765]

In the Caro-Kann the line is called Hillbilly attack, not Hillbilly gambit, which is 1. e4 c6 2. Bc4 d5 if I'm not mistaken

1900 can get advantage of hikaru but 1900's struggle to keep the advantage throughout the remainder of the game.

[@yakzivz1104]

At 43:35, how did that black knight move like that??? It was like someone accidently clicked on it before Hikaru moved his knight. It was Hikaru's turn of course. The knight did not move to another square but it was moved off it's square a little bit.

He accidentally grabbed the opponents knight, you can pick up their pieces

[@marcrousseau1670]

5 days is the incubation period (asymptomatic period) the time when the viral load is maximal is at about 1.5 days before symptoms appear and thus you should be able to detect it after 3-3.5 days but the person will be asymptomatic. I have studied this virus in university.

45:52 what happens if HIkaru takes the light square beeshop?

[@joeybluey8234]

Queen can discover a check. Moving king is best move according to lichess engine. Goes from +.9 for white to +2 for white taking the bishop. White Queen to C3, black knight to d5, white knight to e4, black bishop to f6, white knight takes f6, kings takes f6. And you’re just in big trouble.

Boston Mike an 1800? No way. More like 1400-1600. He doesn't know openings or endgames and constantly makes huge positional and tactical mistakes. However, to his credit, he can be quite resourceful and play interesting moves to try to unravel out of bad positions. I agree that Carlini and Mark the Duck are about 2200, but most of the crew is firmly below 1700.
