Hikaru just converted losing position to winning position only in 10 seconds 💀

Not even a winning position🤨

[@quasa6577]

I love it when the rook moves like a bishop

[@karigisla]

It didnt? He clicks on it and hovers it over the table many times but thats not him moving it thats him considering moves, like should i go down? No ill go sideways and he brings it sideways like a bishop would move and drops it there and it only moves sideways because it never went down

[@phil4863]

That defense was godly

[@XD_Ryan]

Imagine having a winning 3 pawn up position against probably the greatest blitz player in history, imagining yourself telling everyone and your entire family about it, achieving one of the greatest milestone of your chess career as a GM, the feeling of all training all these years being worthy, and then actually lose and hikaru just belike : we got the dub gg go next... This gm must've had the Coldest shower of his life

[@SomebodySharp]

He's not the greatest blitz player in history...

[@RazielDeTam]

what are you talking about? Im sure Ray Robson didn't even remember this match after a day... He is a superGM, who had hopes to break 2800 at his peak, and even now Ray is around world's top 10.

and this aint just any GM, this is Ray Robson - former US junior champion and current puzzle rush world champion

[@snared_]

​@@slothbearanonymous when your most notable win in the past 10 years is an online $4,500 puzzle contest it feels like GM is the most notable thing, so yeah just another GM, not saying GM is bad at all, a GM is a GM after all, so why isnt he just any GM, he is GM that's the most notable don't say some puzzle contest man talk about game and players, he's not even the best in his country far from it actually sadly anyway man yeah most notably he is GM not puzle champion or something like that therefore this original comment makse a lot of snese "this man makes other GMs look like me playing" the response "oh hes not just any gm" youre af ucking idiot writing that stupid shit nobody said the word Just except for you man and obviously being a GM is more notable than winning some puzzle rush event $4500 is nothing dude

"I'm not playing well" *Plays well*

[@ayimioy1161]

Hikaru is the type of guy to say that the MAX Level Boss is super difficult to beat in the game but then one shots it and complains why he wasnt doing enough damage

[@JustABaptistApoligist]

I’m impressed with how he turned the game around so quickly

[@drike6]

Hikaru is a monster 💀

[@PatrickCWalters]

It's actually scary how he saves these positions time and time again 😳 😅

[@RMF49]

Partly because of his elite time management.

[@100subcribersvideos9]

wooooooshhhj

[@whatsinaname7289]

I thought he swindled him and got a draw. Dude turned 4 pawns down into a checkmate win😂

[@HappytreeLuis]

I thought the Kanji of his name was a new piece for a second, lmao.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A VARIANT LIKE DUCK CHESS BUT THE PIECE CAN'T BE MOVED UNTIL NOW LMAO

Oh that’s what it is? I thought the duck chess thing too

He could have just kept checking the king for the next second but he decided to go for the whole ass checkmate

I can't belive that GM just blundered 3 pawns and the game lmao. Magnus and Hikaru makes everyone inferior to them

[@travisoleszczuk7008]

Hikaru didn’t feel like trying til the end! Dude came back down 3 connected passed pawns AND mated a GM in 15 seconds 😂

[@brawlhallaplayer8960]

200 elo players saying this is a drawn position. Hikaru's opponent is up 3 pawns which is not drawn is played properly. His opponent was winning and Hikaru converted a losing position to a drawn position but luckily he won because his opponent didn't draw properly.

[@dankness420]

That went from “wow that’s a rough position, better luck next time” To “Okay, wow, he saved the draw” To “Wait, could he stop that mate? Was that forced?”

[@nirajdesai7760]

GG brilliant!!!!

[@almond731]

Wtf he did that against another gm...

bro what? even though I'm 600 still him winning that against GM is crazy.

No offense but you have to be somewhat on the spectrum to play and think like this consistently at the highest levels under immense pressure

Hikaru is so good *give heart or like the video if you agree *

[@jiggs8073]

His pieces literally glide during time pressure

[@qasimsikander3419]

I just want to emphasize: How do you win a rook endgame down 3 pawns 😭

[@xufork262]

Would it have been checkmate if he moved rook to e7 instead of e8 when the black rook was in g5?

[@christophmichaud6767]

No one’s talking about Mumford and Sons in the background??

[@chrisadams5343]

I don’t care if magnus is better. Hikaru is the people’s champ

[@dragoni_penguin]

The music though lmfao

[@tannerlabrum3288]

The song is the background reminds me of my wrestling team singing it terribly.

[@bohohofwohuh3960]

3012 rating? I thought nobody ever reached 3000

[@Adamin_The_III]

2 more pawns for black, definitly position is +7

[@ElloGovnaShorts]

I was expecting you would clutch up and draw but a win???

Little lion man by Mumford and sons, if anyone was wondering

[@LetuceDevour]

I'm honestly confused with his movements.

[@PaullHutchh]

Imagine being the GM on the other end BRUTAL

[@2nolio276]

Hikaru would be so mad if his opponent played in his position and didn't resign

[@tylergrieve1418]

Hikaru wouldn’t lose it, he converts that every time

[@2nolio276]

@@tylergrieve1418 Besides the point

[@tylergrieve1418]

@@2nolio276 my point is that he has a reason to be. He won’t lose that position whereas a lesser player could as they did. In chess you only should resign when you have no chance of a win/draw. IE: I could resign on move 1 vs any IM/GM as it is not possible for me. If he had been against Magnus he probably would resign or Magnus would make a couple moves with great technique and force resignation/mate. TLDR: resign when you can’t do anything, if he complains about it he knows it’s probably the kind of position people would always beat Stockfish in.
