I was there in Viernheim today and took a picture with you in front of the venue before the event. You were super friendly to all the fans. Pure class throughout, especially after such an exhausting match! I also thought Vishy defended extremely well. Good luck tomorrow 🍀

[@jackdoom_]

Nice To know I think the same

[@em4six348]

average hikaru W

[@prato-to7mx]

I also noticed that Hikaru is less egoistic than than other chess players!

[@Miketython1312]

I am living in Viernheim and I just found out that freaking Hikaru Nakamura is here !??!?! WTF for all of you who are not from Germany Viernheim is a small ass city that acutally nobody knows of even in Germany lol. Thats so weird.

Vishy played all the engine moves in the end game. Kramnik might find it interesting.

give it a rest

[@manasuniyal2897]

Sure why not . Anand himself dethroned him . Sounds suspious ........ How can someone dethrone a World Champion who dethroned Garry Kasparov himself. Now it has become more suspious. . .

[@doctorpanigrahi9975]

Kramnik will never accuse an older generation of cheating

[@martinpaddle]

Anand's endgame play was perfect, still has a lot of class

[@PEACE_LUVR]

Yeah, until he found the endgame monster -Magnus!

[@asimmishra2764]

​ No one asked tbh, we all know how good Magnus is but no need to mention him everywhere.... This video is not about him at all ​@@PEACE_LUVR

[@aravindappat]

Vishy had an hour on the clock even when the game ended. Shocking! 😮😮

[@MaxIronsThird]

Hikaru mentioned how he used almost an hour on a move in the endgame

[@DavidBerhanu-pv1ve]

I honestly really believe that Hikaru has a big shot on becoming World Champion. Good luck on the Candidates ✌️.

[@deltalima6703]

Classical or shorter time restrictions?

[@jejxkxk]

It would be an injustice for Hikaru to retire without ever holding the title even once. He’s come so close, so many times, and every time we say it’s over for him, he comes back harder. This man won’t give up

[@user-dw4dq1if1m]

I guess it will be 3 horse race between those old timer, including fabi and ian.

[@jejxkxk]

@@user-dw4dq1if1m If Fabi can get back into his peak form then he will sweep everybody but Magnus in classical.

[@hermionelovegood9814]

@@jejxkxk Fabi and Nepo got closer! They both won the candidates. Nepo even won them twice! Hikaru hasn´t won them so he hasn´t come that close.

[@flycaptor]

Thank you Hikaru for letting me take some pictures with you. :) You seemed very likable and nice even though you couldn't take two steps without somebody asking for a picture or something. 😄👍🏻

[@KaitoSan-mb9zv]

Vishy had 1 hour 8 mins more than Hikaru at the end of this game

[@Praful897]

Additional time I guess

Vishy has to be doing something special to stay so sharp for that long. He's truly incredible.

[@Phoenix.219]

I remember once reading in newspaper where he talked about how he spends a lot of time on physical health. He said that ppl usually think that chess is all brain but you need to be physically healthy and he does swimming daily and other things to maintain health (I forgot most part bcz it was around 2010 when I was in school and he was in his prime) but I do remember that bcz before that I too had the perception that chess players don't spend time on physical health but he highlighted it

[@mortalkombaty7960]

In the realm of chess, where battles are fought, A clash occurred that left many in thought. Anand, once a master of great renown, Retired and aged, but not ready to bow down. Hikaru, young and full of fiery might, Stepped forth to challenge the aging knight. With each move, the tension in the air grew, Anand's seasoned wisdom against Hikaru's debut. The pieces danced upon the checkered stage, Their minds engaged in a strategic cage. Hikaru sought to claim a glorious win, But Anand, crafty as ever, wouldn't give in. Anand, with a twinkle in his wise eyes, Taunted Hikaru with a humorous guise. "Ah, young Hikaru," he chuckled with a grin, "Think twice before you deem yourself to win." With every move, Anand showed no remorse, His defense unyielding, a formidable force. Hikaru tried his best, but fate had its way, The game ended in a draw that fateful day. Anand, the wily elder, gently teased, "Dear Hikaru, your ambition's appeased. Remember, age and wisdom can't be ignored, For even in retirement, I'll still strike the chord." Hikaru, humbled but still full of zest, Gained a lesson that put his skills to the test. He realized that age may slow one's pace, But experience and cunning can never be erased. So let this tale of chess and friendly banter, Remind us that age is just a number, no matter. And though Hikaru couldn't claim victory that day, Anand's wisdom and wit will forever have their say.

[@davidgriffiths7696]

Amazing complexity in the end game. 2 pawns 7th rank but still no successful promotion possible, and result hangs on an extra check in about 6 moves depending on exact approach squares of the king, quite mind boggling.

[@Rastarocket1]

Thank you Hikaru I was at the Event and man, your attitude was Great! It was an honor to See you play IRL and Even get a picture with you 😄 Keep it up 💪💪

[@PeaceFORever-]

It’s such an amazing to see vishy is still adaptable and playing such high level at this age . One can imagine what his level used to be in his peak . Hikaru to me seems to be the most favorite in candidates . Hikaru has high success Vs fabi . I don’t know when hikaru has lost a classical !! It’s been a while for sure . Good luck to Vishy for upcoming chess tournaments and hikaru for WC!!

[@randomkindness1470]

GM Vishy Anand plays very nice chess. It is really nice to watch and this is the second time I am noticing this...

[@onoff5604]

It is so fascinating that even with just four pieces on the board (asside from the kings) it can be so challenging for even two of the top supergrandmasters to see all the possibilities. Is there a term for a system that is so extemely volitile and subject to minor initial conditions? (Fragile vs. anti-fragile? Heterozygosity? Unbuffered?)

[@somangshuchakraborty1334]

I honestly thought vishy was lost in the rook endgame but this h3 idea was oh my lords

As an Indian we feel proud when Hikaru says Vishwanathan Anand "Who needs no Introduction" ❤

[@richardmercer2337]

IIRC, at one point in the commentary, Hikaru refers to "football", a reference that may have been confusing for American listeners. But almost certainly he was referring to European football, which Americans know as "soccer".
