This is the kind of GM Hikaru should be playing on a regular basis, these games were so entertaining.

[@MuseseekerMan]

To beat these kind of players Hikaru would have to expose his preparation and this would be a big disadvantage in tournaments. The unknown player can use his preparation to beat Hikaru because it won't be linked to him.

[@Glowbox3D]

It's kinda true. We finally get games that are 'at his level' and he dips out. Fact is, he's a streamer, he gets frazzled, and he doesn't play nearly as well, and turns negative when he's losing. It's fun for a second to watch him struggle, but then he just goes to the dark side and the stream suffers. Probably best to let him win.

[@inge2596]

So much going on in Hikaru's brain it's insane. Reading the chat, streaming, trying to figure out who the opponent might be, on a blitz game against a 2700+ GM. For sure one of the two is not human :D. I totally get when he kind of says "not up for this right now", the other option would have been "sorry chat, need to take care of this, be back in 30'" and come back with a "well yeah, beat him/her 10/10, legit player! really good player!".

@Comu Não há nenhum brasileiro com esse nível de xadrez, o Supi talvez chegue perto

[@alvarohigino]

@Comu É, o Supi até pode virar, mas acho que teria que viver na Europa. Aqui ele não tem motivação, já é o melhor; no vídeo dele de véspera das Olimpíadas ele chegou a dizer que fazia mais de ano que não treinava tática! Surreal, o melhor do Brasil não treinar tática, isso mostra seu talento e também a falta de desafio.

[@rosaline9818]

this player looks extremely positional to me

[@alvarohigino]

@@rosaline9818 Ah, yeah, I think you're right. So, it confirms even more my point, Sandro Mareco is really positional and the № 1 in Latin America.

[@turtrooper8310]

The mystery player is probably Renato Quintiliano, a Brazilian GM.

[@harshkumarf4379]

how many times has he said "someone 2700 player "

[@Lusc1nt]

Wow that hurt his ego so much

[@Lusc1nt]

I'm gonna play someone else 😂

[@jessesandburg]

Second game time scramble was absolute insanity.

[@warehousedave7937]

I think he's 2700 plus. Yeah I think he's 2700 plus. I think he's 2700 plus. Yeah I think he's 2700 plus. I think he's 2700 plus.

[@wisamsafar337]

Maybe everybody disagree with me but that player might be 2700+, I wonder how Hikaru misses that

[@duyvan247]

Not sure, might be 2600+, not knowing who you are playing against is really difficult to play. You don't know their strength, don't know their repertoires, you don't know their usual weaknesses. You can't find a way to approach in a first few games. Even Kasparov got mad when a 2400 lied to be 2200 in his simul. He got a wrong approach and immediately saw it.

[@alvarohigino]

But we have 2600+ player that are really tough, like Morozevich, Supi, or Pragg.

[@YouGotTheFlue]

Hikaru said that over and over… did u even watch the video clown

[@annanci21]

Hikaru is one of the best of the best. Good to see him being challenged, there are a lot of good players out there.

[@djjemo]

Can't be Niemann...

[@shaner3723]

he said 37 times is someone 2700

[@kasparpaukson3543]

Doesn't Leinier Speak Portuguese as well? Leinier definitely has the play quality for all this

[@leonhines8190]

good shout

[@gustavoguimaraes5155]

He speaks? it might be. I'm Brazilian and I was thinking about some South American player.

[@mindanalyzer8302]

leinier is 38yo 🤔 -> elefante38 but I didnt know he spoke portuguese

[@GustavoSilva-ny8jc]

11:50 Uuuuuffff, i'm out of breath just by seeing that!!! I'm used to endgames being slow, this one was the opposite, the match started slow and kicked into the high gear at the end. And when someone plays the mute you know is serious. That was awesome, the stream of moves were so fast, they were looking at the future and sprinting toward its direction. The present was just a mean to an end.

[@DoingNothingKing]

If anyone wondering it’s a person with human relations+ botting. If you were a legit GM and beating other too GMs in chess regularly, u wouldn’t want to hide your identity. Especially with all the Portuguese & Spanish talks he/she speaks it’ll be a life changing opportunity to legit compete and become know. Conclusion, whoever it is, is cheating somehow.

[@samukgarcia]

You are into a thinking of singularity while the mystery works in a whole, is not this true ? More and more people will approach chess due having had heard about the Brazilian GM Elefante38 , a sacrifice , one of a kind I should say .

[@M0a3r7c7os]

Hikaru lost with the pineapple shirt?!? This Elefante38 is really good...

[@Jonny_Haas]

Ups I'd never seen before Hikaru running of someone 😅

[@jennifercouret]

Must be GM Leinier Domínguez

[@janetoss]

It's someone who is 2700+ but I don't know who it is. It's not a Brazilian. It's someone who is 2700+ but I don't know who it is. It's not a Brazilian. It's someone who is 2700+ but I don't know who it is. It's not a Brazilian. It's someone who is 2700+ but I don't know who it is. It's not a Brazilian.

[@knightseriou3258]

Hikaru just cause your 34 doesn’t mean 25 -30 year olds can’t still be that fast.. your right there at the age where reaction times and everything starts to decrease but anything before like 32 -36 and your still in your prime mentally

[@waylorudd1128]

man is playing a GM while reading chat and commenting on the game.

[@coldtruth9431]

No way it’s Gio the way he was blitzing out moves G4 G5.. pressure pressure

[@itsjj5590]

Bro guessed everything Rating, age and everything based on chess moves.. Kind of intresting..

[@guidc]

I don't think he is Brazilian, but he sure spent some time here.

[@Grahfx]

He is just a guy playing only online chess to relax and ramped up to 3000 by accident.

[@igoroliveiraduarte3881]

Ele faz questão de falar que acha que não é brasileiro pq joga bem, mas quando um brasileiro ganha dele ele acusa de cheat KKKKKKK piada

[@nosferatu4538]

Ele faz questão de dizer isso a cada segundo kkkkkk

[@brancozfj]

O que me impressiona mais é BR pagar pau pra ele e ainda dar dinheiro pra ele(dando sub) kkkkkk

[@SupremoThe]

foda essa visao do hikaro e mesquinho de mais pro tamanho dele.

[@beterraba_wojak]

Isso é conhecido como os sintomas após perder 4 partidas seguidas para o Supi

[@PauloHenrique-jn9nh]

aksdkfkaskd é foda

[@b42baritone]

We havent heard from Bobby Fisher in awhile. Maybe its him

[@gigglesinside]

I have a feeling it's a 2700+ and he's not from Brazil....what do you think?

[@yeomanadventures1549]

Hikaru during his matches sounds like he's channeling Dustin Hoffman in Rainman.
