I don't really like how Naka gives 0 credit to Rapport. Also doesn't thank him for giving a draw after a mouseslip (which Naka would never ever do himself).

[@user-jh4if4og5y]

Honour in games is bullshit

[@dragaoporto7758]

We could see Hikaru was playing bad because after his moves hikaru always says the refutation of his own moves and says why is a bad move. Rapport is a great GM but Hikaru had a bad night

[@Daniel-Rodriguez]

39:25 rapport forgive that mouselip lol

[@TheNiceguy1156]

Hikaru would have been like, YOU LOSE HAHAHA

[@tomewall8982]

I can't understand why I'm down on time (reads chat...)

[@ausar3852]

LOL

[@troubleshooter24]

Respect to you Richard great chess

[@FSM_Soleran]

4:05 How to insult your opponent's pieces like a Super GM

[@vinuunnikrishnan5914]

And at 53:06 Nakamuras queen was trapped by his own Arrow notations.

[@miliaurora1038]

Yea...there you go...do more chess videos... I knew about this channel but subscribed today

[@colins1358]

I actually watched this whole stream for Rapport

[@TheMarksT]

The sledgehammer, yeah! Very cool. Making up for a slow slow start. Thx Naka! Had a lot on my mind of late myself, so inspiring, your drive here. Thx again! Lol.

[@naveengwalia4007]

watching your games have improved my own, thanks hikaru

[@SaintD382]

That ending was HILARIOUS...perfect timing, like on a good sitcom.

[@gregwh2000]

last game vs Duncan Doughnuts "I am sorry, What, What?..." LOL

[@mariosouper6279]

You see throughout the video instances where Hikaru gets confused of Rapport's decisions like resigning/drawing when mouse slip, I think what Hikaru is missing here is that not every super GM is an internet points maniac, there are chill SGMs who, when they get outplayed they just resign and not even think of flagging because he's here for the fight and not 'hurr durr adoption hurr durr streak'.

[@werrkowalski2985]

Not trying to win is a terrible attitude, you also think he got to 2700 by not caring?

[@mariosouper6279]

@@werrkowalski2985 Who said he's not trying to win? you clearly misunderstood what I said, What I said was that he doesn't try to flag/wait for blunders when he's clearly losing, He just resigns and moves on.

[@werrkowalski2985]

For example one time Rapport resigned when the game was still on. Considering that its blitz with no increment, it is not trying to win by not hoping for blunders or even trying to flag, you seem to have a problem with that and call Hikaru an "internet points maniac" for trying to win by flagging/hoping for blunders and not resigning when down material in 3+0 blitz lol, and besides he does resign when its clearly lost or doesnt try to flag when its dead draw, even though he could and did in the past. Its a ridiculous attitude, flag in 3+0 is 2dirty for you?

[@werrkowalski2985]

Its like you think that nobody will blunder in blitz and they should resign when they will get "outplayed", sure, somebody is clearly getting outplayed when you trade blunders.

[@literally.anything___97]

Yeah but trying for the flag=trying to win...what wrong with that?

[@dsm091]

So amazing how they calculate it all so we'll. Hanson had a sweet end game with a queen sac.

[@stephenhughes1862]

The music on your vids is so good!!

[@anthonyvillalpando1694]

58:27 That time Hikaru Nakamura asked the question, "why did he resign?!" seven times in a row with no answer.

[@zizhdizzabagus456]

Whatever ill just play a3

[@zizhdizzabagus456]

U guys

[@gojartdestani213]

3:48 he was playing 2 games at the same time 😂😂

[@soner_olaslk_4835]

your reaction on the 39:20 speed 0.25 so funny lol:

[@literally.anything___97]

Richard makes hikaru say things i have never heard him say before like "im way up on the... oh im not way up on the clock..?" "Oh he missed thi-oh he has this move oh well..." and "im losing my mind!"

[@Onelonelyduckyquackquackquack]

love the ending how he is so confused

[@gregwh2000]

LOL

[@egorgeroev3597]

"no es tan bueno" 7:42. Buen español!

[@LeBartoshe]

11:45 - that sinister laugh 😂

[@cr0mag732]

So 2950 is low.... *cries

[@jalcace]

Is he playing the tournament and online? How much stamina!

[@sharduldeshpande059]

This must be an old video. He shaved his beard for the tournament. :-)

[@michaelstruss2545]

Hey bro you still live in Florida? I live down here will pay some money for a hour training

[@zizhdizzabagus456]

Thats how normal people feel when the play chess hikaru. Its pain

[@quentincastroniemann7530]

5:27 i am chillin too

[@chessbrilliance8783]

" Wawazzat I mean..."

[@kevinwellwrought2024]

Nakamura proves how much we do not know about chess.

[@kevinwellwrought2024]

No no no, Nakamura knows so much about chess that he can crush any player. He has beaten Carlsen on numerous occasions. His speed of calculation is phenomenal. No human can beat Komodo, it is like saying Nakamura cannot run as fast as a car or motobike, who can? Nakamura has so many top GMs in his adoption file.

[@kevinwellwrought2024]

What a chess beginner’s comment! Nakamura just won USA championship and has always been in top 10 super GMs. Why don’t you try to become USA champion?

[@kevinwellwrought2024]

Matthew Viramontes , Nakamura is among the top ten super GMs. As a beginner you are talking as if you can beat all of these plus 3000 ELO computers. You know nothing about chess otherwise you would never say Nakamua is not good. Anyways beginner’s comments are good only for the dust bin.

[@brysonlozano7]

the ending 😂

[@gregwh2000]

Hikaru..in the game where you played the Dutch. Rapport surprisingly resigned in the final position. Such a complex position but, Stockfish believed you/Black to be plus 11 in that position with Qxc6 Bb7 FEN 1rb3k1/b6p/2nNr3/4p1pq/Q7/P4N2/1P3pP1/2RR1K2 w - - 0 1

[@syedabharim8370]

Upload your playlist too I'm liking the songs. 🎧

[@icycloud6823]

Yeah, I'm having trouble finding a song in the video :\

[@ponkey8569]

What is the song that starts at around minute 53

[@trankvillint6shirokovskih573]

Nakamura artistry as a separate art form

[@Franz_Donnermann]

Blitz against Magnusen!!! Go naka San!!!

[@TwelfthRoot2]

Naka, more importantly, how’s your blockfolio looking?

[@haggaisimon7748]

Rapa thumbs up! I also give a draw when someone slipped.

[@TheEconomicElder]

Hikaru "I sacked the queen cause it looked kinda cool" Nakamura

[@mchappster3790]

Overlay the chat onto the screen!

[@RobertSmith-bn3zw]

lol naka, love this guy

[@hicow6075]

Hikaru "Im playing bad chess" nakamura

[@alexanderp195]

Rapport is dangerous

[@Chesu360]

What was the deal at the end? Why did the game start itself like that?

[@CortezHoratio]

After the last rematch was declined Naka pressed 'New 3 min' to get a new game. I'm not sure if he did it automatically and was surprised he got a new match or whether it was because he was matched with a sub-1800 rating player.

[@sdmagik1]

Lol nice intro

[@anonymousundentified4922]

Let's play like Levon Aronian) - queen

[@sergiofisch8424]

Clockaru Flaganura.

[@joselosddrd]

Are you playing bad game or Rapport is just another super GM and it is not that easy to break ?

[@exjwflatearther6554]

49.00 "I just take on b4".....what?

[@chessiskingful]

Nakamura look like afghani people I mean afghani boy

[@LuisParedes-sd3qz]

Guys, how Hikaru can do arrows on the table? Pls tell me :c

[@Inbal_Feuchtwanger]

Right click

[@drumcircler]

Fun!

[@oguogu7050]

Naka stop crying about your opponent low rating , you are super GM ! Man up

[@polexnir]

Tiger cap

[@billnowottny1119]

GMHikaru you should at least thank Rapport or make a mention of his kindness for allowing a draw on your mouse slip. Something I haven't seen you do.

[@lukacalov1988]

Who is Danny? He mentions that name a lot

[@jonathanbeeson8614]

US GM Daniel Naroditsky, I believe.

[@leuteriskost8500]

Play with Artemiev or Magnus.

[@kulkidspin7691]

he's playing magnus today last round of grand chess tour ivory cost

[@theNetworkCH]

He wouldn't dare getting spanked online by Magnus

[@wrinai]

Magnus fuck him hard on chess...he knows it very well

[@YumyContent]

Guys .. play this at 1.5 speed .. very funny

[@joshwoelfe348]

I tried it. Wasnt that funny, but I tried it.

Actually, it got funny 😄

Maybe add a "wait for it..."

52:31 both missing Ra7 winning queen LUL

[@ChRiyad]

no, because white can just ignore you and take the rook on f8 with check

[@midnightfox6378]

@@ChRiyad No the f2 rook is pinned

[@ChRiyad]

oh shit, you're right, my bad. so now since you outplayed two Super GMs, does it make you an Ultra Gm?

[@PticaLetit]

@@midnightfox6378 If Ra7, then Qxc6 Qxc6 Rxf8 with a lot of pieces for the queen.

[@samjeppi3614]

sorry about the lose

[@skillgambling]

better without the stupid music edited in

[@ArtilleryCrusader]

Agreed. I understand taking out the original music but anyone can put on their own music. The songs don't fit.

[@RickRollJohnson]

Why does Hikaru say "Danya"? Is it a joke or a speech impediment thing

[@danigza96]

Russian diminutive for Daniel

[@RickRollJohnson]

@@danigza96 thanks

@@RickRollJohnson Danya is his screenname

Ive heard the Chessbrahs call him Danya too, I thought it was just a nickname among them, but apparently its a russian thing haha

[@chriscarlepic]

hi

[@falperes8754]

Disgusting

[@bartekmedes8281]

I dont know if Id consider Rapport as a super GM, hes been mediocre at best.

[@Anubrogue]

I mean.. he's 2736 as of right now and No. 21 in the world, he's still only 23. Only Artemiev is younger and higher rated than him.

[@hookflash699]

Mediocre? Are you insane?

[@36AccountsBlockedRIP]

You must have in depth knowledge of his games then, to have such considerations, I don't know.

[@ima7mad]

He plays some risky openings, it either goes spectacularly good or bad. A different GM would rather play solidly and draw most of his games.

[@sebastianapolo8515]

show us your rating dumb fuxk
