How to Open with 1. e4 by Hikaru Nakamura (some dude)

[@jacky9961]

It's checkmate because the king can't move anywhere -Hikaru

[@Fahad-zq9se]

Stalemate also😂😂❤❤

[@ambrose7196]

Yeah but what if he convinces the enemy queen to defect and marries her?

[@GetOffTheLawn]

Ohhhhh is that how this works?

[@JimmyJustJoking]

its checkmate when i can take your king and thres nothing you can do aboout it

[@andreweaton6363]

Im dying imaging some Russian old school chess coach hearing their student say "classic castle mania kebob"

[@garrafa_sanchez182]

Is incredible how much you can learn just by watching and listening one game of this genius.. he explains very well, i can understand almost everything and im not even an english speaker

[@untilDAWN-h2m]

hahahaha

[@Spryra]

@@untilDAWN-h2m Really?! He is really good then

[@miguelbatista9493]

Have you gained rating since this, or are you stuck in the 500s?

[@garrafa_sanchez182]

@@miguelbatista9493 well right now im 1400 at Blitz and rapids but when i saw these videos of Hikaru i was about 800 or 900 i think

[@M1m1s]

​@@garrafa_sanchez182That gives me hope (currently stuck at 900 rapid and have my first tournament otw).

[@StevenSenjaya]

I love how Hikaru is being so kind and forgiving to the 500 but punishing every single thing his opponent does against the 1400 lol Hikaru against the 500 guy 😊🌟5:03 Hikaru against the 1400 guy😒💢9:28 10:43

[@MKProsD]

It’s like Gordon Ramsey when teaching young kids vs Adults on Cooking

[@JJBerthume]

@@MKProsDLITERALLY

[@edgarramos1499]

I always imagine these people raging after getting destroyed by a 500!

[@jakeroman827]

Haha sadly not in this one. It’s an unrated viewer arena. They know it’s Naka in this case.

[@yohanessarumaha2169]

Lol

[@Gummyboypog]

Of course a person with elo of 500! Is greater than any computer to ever be made

[@Herbo4k]

3:08 the enjoyment in ur face when seeing the blunder😹😹gg’s

[@ayeboileeabundance1480]

Im 277 and fighting to my fullest against 300 elo ops while Hikaru just walks through 500 elo ops.

[@TeaAndCreampie]

having never played a game in his life my 5 year old nephew crushed a 300

[@TeaAndCreampie]

he didn't know that knights could move backwards

[@chicassoproductions8527]

​@@TeaAndCreampiechildren are beasts at chess though!

[@bodooor]

@@chicassoproductions8527 they learn faster but if theyve never played they are super bad

[@joshuaradloff1070]

Man it's funny Its like I understand everything with hikaru but when I'm on my own im back to 500 elo

[@yashaneja2840]

Same😢

[@rubanmedlan]

The girl in the red dress : Distraction gambit!

[@sunilkalbandi]

New to this video and channel. I am stuck in my 800; this video makes so much sense and has better lessons than I have been going through. Thanks, Hikaru

[@SpinConez]

I think I've seen this one

[@ayeboileeabundance1480]

This one of the most educational chess video ive seen. Thanks Sir Hikaru.

[@GetOffTheLawn]

3:53 solid attempt to get sponsorship from Wendy's

[@liveelectric2413]

When someone resigns, you explaining what would happen like you did in this video is helpful.. thanks hikaru!!

[@yoyowossup]

When hikary says 'very straight forward you guys' as a 700 elo player i almost want to believe him

[@cmdmusic7189]

you have many tricks ,many clue , and never lose

[@caius6019]

That 500 in the first game played so strongly

[@caius6019]

Until the rook blunder lol

[@rikus6201]

no he really didnt, he got positionally losing position after couple moves but as naka said he didnt go for it

[@RossCo.H]

Yes he did

[@illusorytrutheffect]

@@rikus6201okay but for a 500? He played well. Obviously a super gm and only of the best players in the world will make it look easy when playing someone who has prob only been playing chess a few months lmao.

[@sam2725]

The dummy was dead lost after 4 moves.. so impressive yeah

[@burryboy2945]

6:54 e5 12:30 e4 vs modern

[@jaysizmir9432]

1:06:09 my favorite moment 🤣

[@V4dk4n]

8:18 the p.u. after Keleti is a short term for pályaudvar, which means station. we just call it keleti.

[@XSFlanger]

Levy has become Levi overnight :D

[@Drewskells]

We gotta get him on hot ones. That would be legendary. I feel like Joe would struggle with Hikaru but I feel like Sean could handle it

[@whatintarnation4969]

magnus and hikaru both having ASD is making me think it’s OP

[@skelly_snipez1291]

I was always lost when I played white because I couldn’t ever get anything going from the Italian. As soon as I swapped to the Vienna I gained 200 elo in days.

[@bulac9]

play bongcloud against Hikaru. Pure 730 guy

[@KancerKowboy]

LOL Pansy Annie opening. I missed that the first time I watched this.

[@-device--057-2]

That song from the beginning is im pretty sure is from captainsparklez

[@macp9145]

41:45 how’s that checkmate?

[@Zomiecrafter]

My average experience playing against other 500-700 rated players

[@GrimR3ef3r]

I learned so much in the first 90 seconds 🧠

[@carlpederson2701]

34:13 sad he didn't play the queen sack

[@ambrose7196]

This dude seems to know alot about chess. He's no Levy but he should be a teacher.

[@bernie4366]

Hikaru is the best streamer on the planet.

[@eastafricanchesstv3091]

Hikaru is simply the best

[@great2642]

i love the title

[@SubwaySubhojit]

So to beat Hikaru, get a girl in a red dress to walk past him!

[@adamcampbell2091]

Do you still do sub battles Hikaru? I want to beat Levy’s subs so bad.

[@schewpidchild]

i remembered what i ate yesterday for breakfast

[@goals6588]

This was beautiful

[@bigmarv333]

Shout out to Dave Thomas!!!

[@puwa3238]

21:27 wasnt the Ng3 the better option to checkmate?

[@Jedi_Judo19]

Khub Khun Ma Krup Khru Hikaru!! 😄😃😃🥰

[@ALTAIFPhone]

I couldn't open the bullet game... hope find help for that question.... thank you....

[@mjustboring]

where is hikaru, and who is this clean (some dude) guy in the video...

[@Dumakudenn]

Unbeaten run in 2023 Big Ups Hikaru🎉🎉🎉

[@YooTTooY]

Must watch❤

[@thetransferaccount4586]

i have already seen this vod.. i am not sure where but

[@josiahkianes5326]

Hi hikaru!!

[@maxpower9175]

As a barely 1000, i can't understand that people could be lower rated than me, I stink! But how would a 500 feel knowing that it was Hikaru that whooped them lol.

[@Steve-kn3gu]

It’s something called elo hell. There’s no genuine players below 600, so there’s a bunch of 900-1100 level players in the 600-900 range level, so they just get stuck there as if it was their elo. The way to get around this is creating a new account

[@illusorytrutheffect]

@@Steve-kn3guidk about that, I’m a 800 rapid and almost 600 in blitz and bullet but only been playing chess for 4 months. So there is no way in only 4 months of ever playing chess and never doing puzzles I’m over 1000 elo technically. Just no shot. I play well and think I’m fairly good but I know I’m not that good lmao.

[@wawadres]

Go Hikaru!!!

[@randomnaga4922]

Wtf that was uploaded before or am i crazy??

[@wooshbait]

Yeah nearly half of the new videos posted are reuploads. Thats why I only watch the main channel nowadays

[@randomnaga4922]

@@wooshbait yea but I prefer this channel more as it provides more longer content while the main channel is more of highlighted from the live.

[@wooshbait]

@@randomnaga4922 Ig so. I mean if you can handle the constant reuploads, why not

[@kevc222ud]

So ill never get past a 1400 rating… thanks… also that checkmate as black at 1:18:35 was rediculous

[@gameyadav5622]

Hikaru is like grandpa telling stories of his time😅😅

Yeah but he doesn't try to win

[@fearcrisis2872]

As a 750 elo player I didn't get your advance teaching.

[@darkcoldwater8179]

You need to post music credits! I need some head bobbing in my chess game. If I’m not winning I want to enjoy my time.

32:30 hikaru im from nj so i kno what ur saying about the 2000s being trashed cuz of 9/11
