I mean, Hikaru can beat a 900 elo without a queen 100 times out of 100 and it will never be even remotely close.

Didn't he get up to like 2600+ without a queen?

The added eval bar is cool

“Eval Bar (not seen by Hikaru)” Yeah, dude doesn’t need to see it, he can feel the evaluation of the position with every cell in his body. 😂

[@Chunda8]

Hikaru ir;s kind of funny- the Alien gambit is new to me and I clicked on this to be familiar with it. Before I'm even solid on what the moves and idea are, you had already basically refuted it. I actually knew the counterplay before the gambit itself.

He studied the alien gambit now he knows how to play against it. RIP OP witty

black is better by about 1 pawn or less if you play perfectly

Really tough day for Bubbliae

Does that mean Hikaru got SWAT'd 😮

All i play is the bongcloud now, i lost my queen and still won that opening shouldnt be that good

[@bintube5269]

So Hikaru is an alien confirmed 😣

[@elijahjq9668]

wish hikaru would have played more tactically, meaning going for more big attacks then playing more accurately

[@JayJay-ye7ic]

Big, inaccurate attacks are usually called tricks

[@upisntdownsilly]

thats not playing tacticlally, thats playing stupidly. playing tactically or aggressively does not mean you cant also be playing accurately at the same time, the truth is that humans cant achieve accuracy worthy of a computer, and such is why 'playstyles' exist, many moves at the highest level are suboptimal technically, but for humans moves are with intention, unlike an engine which is pure calculation. this is why human gms are actually better than engines when it comes to certain late middlegame - early endgame positions, because while the result of the game is unclear to the engine which doesnt have enough depth of moves, gm's can recognise certain ideas, patterns and pawn structures that immediately show whether a position is a theoretical draw

[@fja4734]

Imagine sac your piece vs hikaru 😂

[@kishredbird3599]

I get really excited about playing chess and i love the boards and pieces and I try to collect them and get every set i can but then i get really sad. 1 cause I suck, 2 theres no clubs around me at all and even if there were id have no time for it and 3, nobody likes to play chess irl so My boards collect dust in a closet so its hard to appreciate them. I cant help but ask myself lately whats the point of it at all or trying to get good. Idek.

[@usernaames]

At 21:30 Hikaru starts talking about something being a crime and something happening on Kick that never happened on Twitch. What's happened, exactly?

[@logan3186]

That's why I got on here to read the comments. I'd like to know too

[@usernaames]

@@logan3186 another post said he was swatted. Apparently the second time in the last few months.

[@logan3186]

@@usernaames He said it happened on kick, right? Doesn't someone need to use a phone to do that. I don't understand how it happened on kick.

[@usernaames]

@@logan3186 swatting means calling the police and claiming there's a serious, ongoing crime at the address in order to get the city's police to raid the building. It happened as he was streaming on Kick.

[@JKyttle300]

Not many ppl play the Caro Kann at least when I play.. Can you still play the Alien Gambit if they decide something else?

[@Odrox]

If they play the Petrov opening you can try the similar Cochrane Gambit.

Waiting for TT ?

[@mikportgal221]

Bought premium edition , and I don’t regret it

[@Frank7489]

Hikaru said something that was a crime happened to him twice on Kik so far but he didn’t wanna talk about it.. I’m guessing he’s talking about getting swatted

Why is the editor editing out the set up to the alien gambit is it some kind of secret? Like you skip the first 3-4 moves for every white game I don’t understand why

[@msc4lyfe98]

The arena has a custom board set up where both sides have played the mainline of the alien gambit. The game starts in that position.

[@sobbski2672]

Kick ain't worth the swatting risk

[@yisuslalala]

Why would you cut out the gambit in the beginning? Many people are probably wondering what the gambit is and that's why they clicked on the video.

Not every opening is played in the exact move order it would be nice to see

my sister and i were talking and we had a bit of a tiff, she likes to feel like shes talking for the masses, but God, objectivity wins in the end, i think she felt like she had an advantage , in the moment at least, which drained me of my stature as rhodes scholar i ended up saying to her, like, you know, if you're gonna tell me about my life in the way you have, then i need to know how to respond , i felt like she was disrespecting me, but i put that to bed very quickly , the chatter was policed and ended it ended in a good way eventually, but i hadn't known anything about her life, so i couldn't use the mechanisms she was about, to break the flood of inferiority that was caused by her nobrel prize winning laughter, but we all have flaws i guess, its just a little hard to keep track of things when you feel alone and you feel bombarded with any kind of expression about any kind of fear that you have, it was very confronting and i defended better than most would after all the resentment and jealousy and mockery and punishment we put each other through, i hope we will be as grateful as alanis morisette surely is to have others like family to save us, thank you
