[@isaactakeuchimusic]

That windmill tactic at 16:32 was devastatingly beautiful.

[@syauqiachmad]

16:32 me : wait he missed the fork hikaru : lets pick rook and queen for knight me : wtf was going on

[@chesssimplyexplained3363]

Damn, what a great intro and it's so interesting to see how Hikaru equalizes the missing Queen with his pieces and superior play! Great video again!

[@dancingdaffoddill]

Perfect thumbnail. UNSPEAKABLE

[@akhilanganeshkumar9908]

Drakaru

[@williamfunggoldenoldiesfan6758]

Hikaru literally predicted the blunder since his mouse was hovering his light squared bishop because if it was not for that bishop, black could have won the dark squared bishop @ 8:48

[@cooperrondinelli6576]

In that last game, I don't think I've ever seen a heavy piece endgame in which one side had all eight pawns. Very cool

[@IAmSplate]

I’ve been loving the video production quality in this series and overall for awhile

[@ascensionblade]

22:07 until he explained this analogy, I thought Polish hotels were extremely terrible.

[@charlespanache7047]

Lmao from being down a queen, to being +8 with 4 premoves must be very weird for the opponent

[@emissarygw2264]

jeez 17:09 checkmate from a random bishop and knight from downtown... I struggle to mate even with half my pieces surrounding the king lol

[@oringring1671]

26:33 Perfect ending

[@AdhikwaGamers]

No one ever declines my botez Gambit😔

[@leu_2814]

15:52 Deez knights

[@zelviktortoise149]

That ending scared me. It's 4:45 am here and I was very relaxed. :D

[@L1GHTofc]

Learning from his mistakes is the best things Hikaru does, well done man

[@bern_channel]

terrific, Hikaru blunder a rook at 1:55

[@syauqiachmad]

first there was no knight, it was bishop. if you play bishop g5 earlier, then pawn f4 ruined everything. so you must stop pawn from moving to f4 by placing white bishop to f3, and to put bishop to f3, you need to move the rook first. after rook move, if you straight playing bishop g5, the f4 pawn will fork both your rook and bishop... so there's nothing wrong in hikaru moves

[@FEEBOLDEN]

This was literally amazing and fascinating. I love the ingenuity of the younger generation of chess players.

[@Blubl0cker]

@GMHikaru SHOULD DO A SPEEDRUN OF 1. F3 OR F6 JUST TO UPSET @GMBenjaminFinegold

[@trunghungpham9414]

16:33 What? Why did he see that so quick =))

[@SybiaNk]

Hikaru doesn't need a Queen because he is no simp.

[@conorkilbane4077]

Why does this intro resonate with me so hard. It's like Pavlovs bell

[@koza7676]

What kind of production do you have when you can play a saved by the bell intro?

[@lhasenor3736]

how the new meta of more pieces is better then point advantage was discovered

[@memesnstuff9995]

cant have enough of hikaru videos

[@phil3980]

As a great musician once said: No woman no cry

[@timothyvandyke9511]

Did he ever roll that smurf he was against a few episodes ago? I haven't been able to keep up lately.

[@kudzem]

He got so used to playing without a queen that when he actually has one in real tournaments he becomes a monster lol

[@jjtitans5]

Have you ever tried playing against stockfish up a queen?

[@NovemberOrWhatever]

He would pretty easily win. Playing rapid against the Komodo engine up two pawns he drew three games and lost one. Stockfish is slightly stronger, but not that much. Bishop or knight odds would probably be enough. Though queen for two minor pieces could be interesting

[@grandmaster12]

This is a game changer.

[@warehousedave7937]

The king of no-queens!

[@Charlesthegamer777]

Hikaru is totally a wizard of Chessboard

[@elham7459]

Levy still can do Fabiano instead of Botez Gambit speedrun, a whole rook sac for a pawn.

[@aeizn1012]

Fabiano Gambit 💀

[@acejaaay98]

I think I could play Hikaru, win? Who knows play? Most definitely 😂😂😂

[@joshr.6785]

How many times during the entire speed run was there a counter Botez gambit by his opponent?

[@all_n_baby]

@GMHikaru @8:05 could you have went bishop to C6 pinning one of rooks instead of trading pawns?

[@kidthebilly7766]

it can hold a very dangerous file from d5 which is what hikaru used it for but i think pinning the rooks was the better option, it's possible he overlooked it but in either case white is winning 👍

[@sahebaparveen9492]

16:32 knight to g4 wins the queen why did you sacrificed so much material

[@jesusavz2509]

Queen = 9 Queen + rook = 14 Queen + rook - knight = 11

[@donshingondonvergonio2247]

He on that sigma grindset.

[@ThePapaja1996]

Tal and super nezh oh he is inspieard of us.

[@qqdami]

Yes

[@v_prave520]

1:36

[@gumikebbap]

22:40 missed the juicer on a6?

[@WonderkitProductions]

Do you make your own intros and gifs? Very well done.

[@jesus-no1iv]

I make them

What an INTRO!!!!

[@epikbaconb9780]

Bro my dark humor Queen of ingland opening☠

[@zzzz7328]

This games from Hikaru must be like 1 huge mistake The rest perfections

[@rotmilan4373]

Man ain’t no simp

[@noelsnotes]

Thanks for caling us good (at this level) xD

[@markofthedavis]

I come for the intro, I stay for the content.

[@Patrick462]

Hikaru: you don't need your queen Me, a repeat queen dropper: actual yes Hikaru: who are you, get out of my house

[@jacobphilip3977]

Maybe the real queen is the friends we make along the way

[@douglasquaid7550]

how high can levy get doing the botez speedrun ?

[@Taquilou]

Weak IM level

[@SRADracer]

Not as high as with the bongcloud 🤡

[@kdmo7814]

glad to see other banking on bitcoin.... I went all in with shorts on it when it was 63K, it then went up to 68K and people told me im crazy and will lose all my money.... fast forward couple of months later and now im 133% ROI... closed out when it hit 35K and i was 3X leveraged

[@ukaszlewicki6016]

It's called kalbatroaz gambit not a botez gambit.

[@mr.evil.meowmeow191]

dude theese clakbaits are one of the finest quality i have ever seen

[@ishaangupta8934]

Intro song?

[@allainazana143]

hello

[@DragoonO777]

nakamura my guy

[@ImBrxndonUK]

is it me or is hikaru's pieces bigger then his opponents

[@Charlesthegamer777]

Get glasses dude

[@oni8337]

LMAO

[@j.21]

It isn't just you. There's a slight difference in piece sizes (sometimes). Edit: Also, none of the replies above this reply are helpful. Edit 2: There's also a slight chance that it's some sort of optical illusion.

[@Charlesthegamer777]

@@j.21 Bro its because of the phenomina of having a bright colours You see the theme board which Hikaru is playing on is bright and vibrant which makes white pieces appear big as compare to the black pieces So, generally it's an optical illusion

[@Charlesthegamer777]

Bro I apologise for the mean comment and your answer is in the reply section as you scroll down

[@siriusblack7714]

Hikaru has the same exact mannerisms as asmongold

[@leonstanable]

didn't aman go to 2000 queenless?

[@anakinskywalkef]

Sigma rules#87: You a simp if you truth your queens for Win a game

[@Joaoo981]

Your editor deserves a raise for the intro and the thumbnails

[@jonah2252]

Wow!... Simplemente Increíble!...😲

[@VanishingTheReality]

anyone knows whats the title of the intro song?

[@davidegallo2185]

6:30 e5, bishop moves, bxc6?

[@jebbush3130]

what?

[@syauqiachmad]

you must stop ne3 treating fork rook & bishop first.... you are queen down. can't afford any trade without advantage

[@Thunderstryk]

zamn those crypto nerds in chat are unbearable. lmao

[@gautamb4u]

How can I play with Hikaru?

[@setos8177]

Who needs a queen when you have the bois

[@sc4ndal0us2]

7:58 Bc6?

[@awdswds1988]

Hot take here…. sometimes I feel like the content doesn’t live up to the intro 🙈🙈🙈

[@jesusb9562]

Would you rather have a generic gamer intro lol?

[@MrMegatherium]

Hey Hikaru, wanna really piss-um-off? .... just smile.

[@slimey_37]

Ms botez

[@candacereynolds1723]

YOU know the Queen's movement was changed a long time ago, from 1 square at a time, to moving like the Rook & bishop. Why not allow the Queen to also move like the Knight...???...What would this do to Theory...(-:

[@Avostrike]

Botez sucks coz I love hikaru more than her

[@top1206]

Hello hikaru my idol

[@anwarkhanshali1883]

People in the chat, why are we watching 1100s me 😭

[@matthewcapstick6242]

Step 1 to not need a queen: be a super grandmaster Step 2: oh no my queen 😏

[@alexandertaylor1745]

Dude that first game was wild. He went from 0 to 92847471627485 tilt in like 15 god awful moves. Wait, was that me?

[@CheSEbalomHohli]
