Nepo's rating is too low! Hikaru Nakamura vs. Ian Nepomniachtchi Blitz Match

[@AT-qm8gv]

Hikaru: “I’m down a pawn let’s just try to draw this.” AlphaZero: “I’m down a pawn, let’s try to give up 3 more and win the game.”

[@Drumaier]

brilliant, thank you.

[@jamesknapp64]

At 12:31 I'm like just take the Queen? And I paused and looked and looked and thought and oh yeah the Bishop on c4 is pinning the pawn. Yeah I'm a bad player

You and me both! That's why I'm 1500-1600 and hikaru is 3k lol.

[@gxfr795]

@@jeesusmeesuss5247 Yeah we’ll I’m 1900 which means I’m better than you both. Ha ha!

[@flippert0]

Am I correct to assume that the music we hear isn't what Hikaru is listening to? Because he jams to 'La Bamba' while we hear some 'Easy Listening' or whatever. OTOH I wouldn't be surprised if Naka could handle to different music streams simultanously.

[@456death654]

Fair assumption

[@kevinsholisticrecordingstu916]

The music he listens to on twitch is replaced with free music when they upload to youtube

12:45 why not Nd4 with threats of trapping the queen with Bf5?

[@Space-lb7be]

Rxe5

[@ather1276]

Can anybody confirm. Has Hikaru been streaming from India since last week?

Ather his last stream was 3 days ago. And he was in a hotel in Hong Kong

Nice battle! Thanks for the stream!

"soy capitan bamba bamba" Hikaru listens to that music?

[@alebenson7083]

You talk about how you don't have time to study chess cause you're streaming but you stream ches.. lmaO go naka!!!!

[@HiFisch94]

Studying and playing are very different

[@yozo294]

26:39 maybe he play bishop a3 ? isn't that wining for black or is it just me am confused

[@mememus499]

winning for black if he takes the bishop and black promotes with check, but he can just take on b3 and black can't promote (same idea as he illustrates). Edit: I messed up the colors

[@simohayha6031]

Hello Naka :)

[@omarkhan5223]

Anyone find it ironic that a great chess player is listening to Queen?

[@ulyssesvercosa6196]

Why?

[@artpak2761]

Queen > queen on the board

[@janisfarhat9935]

26:40 Instead of Bb4 or Ba3 couldn't he have just played Be5? Sacrifice his Bishop to close the diagonal? Or am I missing something?

[@kennylau2010]

fxe5

[@adithyabenoy]

Doesn't White take the bishop with Bxe5 and then you lose the b3 pawn. If you queen, then again d5+ picks up the queen

[@santiagorodriguez2940]

Is not Be5 but e6-e5 that draws for black

[@TryNot2Hate]

@@strir i think even just pawn takes is winning after Kg7 those pawns couldn't move... If you try to back up with king the bishop still have time to rotate

[@kulkidspin7691]

3253 is that a record ? surely must be

[@rambocico5768]

Hikaru's highest rating at blitz was 3265 on Chess.com

[@slobodanknezevic6894]

background music?

[@openclassics]

Hikaru’s Banters I like more than Magnus‘, because Hikaru prepaints his thoughts, while Magnus just says: „Kf3-Qd6-Bd3-Kg5 Cannot take because of Rb2!“ 🤪🤯 And he is funny!!! 😂💦💦💦❤️

Hello! Watchin U for a long time. Good games, good analysis. But U are soo rude. Your comment and face expressions during live games are againts good gesture, manners and morals and chess ethic the most. Wird that no one banned you in some round of live tournament. That might be tough to handle for your chess addoction. Also other players share that opinion about inaccurate behavior during a game. Think off. Would be much much better to watch your good games. Take care

[@Dynamikcheese]

If you are going to chat shit, learn English.

[@perception2599]

I don't see why he is rude It's just his character, He does this with himself too! he is an authentic person who always says what he thinks and we love him for that. It's very rare to find people like him in these days especially among well known people.

[@BongelaMnguni]

Were you typing with your toes?

[@pob-4810]

Krzysztof R “weird that no one banned you in some round of live tournament” dude your credibility just went to 0 with that statement. Hikaru wasn’t banned from anything because he has not done anything bad. I’m pretty damn sure a Super GM knows how to behave in live games which is why he is invited to tournaments.

[@pob-4810]

Krzysztof R you just like to create problems that don’t exist
