[@mabel3989]

I actually analyzed that game and it was 95.5 accuracy from hikaru vs 95.9 accuracy from that guy. I bet he was using an engine or he was a super gm in disguise like hikaru

[@MrSupernova111]

@@mabel3989 . More likely a cheater. Not too many super GMs playing with throwaway accounts in disguise.

[@alfiealfie35]

@@mabel3989 yeah, i play the Alekhine's defence (i go from low to high 1600-low to mid1700 in 30 min chess) and u should play c6, not take. only a cheater or a weaker than 2100 player would take and take, i reckon, but idk it could well be legit

[@khangdaniellam3511]

7:55 The public versions of AlphaStar is very severely restrained. At its max strength, without handicaps, then it would absolutely dominate. Even its limited versions peaked at like 1000 APM (Actions per minute). Just imagine a human preforming 16-17 individual actions per SECOND.

Hi Hikaru, i only started playing chess about February this year, and after I watched your videos and learned openings and tactics, I went from 300 (that's how low and bad I went at the start) to 1300, in about 6 months. Thanks!

[@fabsfb8316]

8:34 doesn’t Nd1 win on the spot, threatening mate on f2. As far as I see I don’t find any defense. I checked if white has a perpetual and I think he hasn’t as Qxf5+ then Kg8 and after Qd8+, we can play Be8 ,blocking and there is no more checks

[@justclaner1902]

There is still bishop check. After that, the white king can go to g2 and the checkmate threat no longer exists. So it's always best to start a mate with a check instead, but it is still winning for black by a landslide of course

[@fabsfb8316]

Wait I get it but after Qxf5+ we can play Bg6 that better

[@fabsfb8316]

Not all checkmates should start with a check it can be a quiet move, like in the lollis mate

[@tj_enju]

lol... I imagined five 600 rated players waiting at the streetcorner with a chessset and its evening and they areplotting to "chesshusle" hikaru walking home alone

[@socrates5493]

With the magnus vs kasparov debate. Do you think it makes a difference that magnus came later and has looked at kasparov's games and learned from his ideas and, more importantly, had the opportunity to study and prepare using extremely strong engines?

[@DineshKumar-xq3ux]

Even garry can learn from magnus or chess engines ... nobody is stopping him ..

[@JackMott]

Magnus benefits from the entire world of chess knowledge, kasparaov, other greats, engines, etc. So comparing them is hard, you can compare relative performance but then you have the complication of more modern players competing against a bigger world of chess players. So even if say, Fischer had the best relative performance, he was competing against less total humans trying to get good at chess. Outliers in the past are going to be more common than now.

[@SolarMusicZ]

@@DineshKumar-xq3ux Age is stopping him.

[@thebishopchess]

@@DineshKumar-xq3ux uh, Kasparov retired a while ago

[@socrates5493]

@@DineshKumar-xq3ux I meant more Gary in his prime having the advantages of super strong engines and advancements in theory. Or, in other words, what would kasparov's rating be, given his natural talent for the game, if he was the same age as magnus.

I don't get it, how? black pawn takes, Bf7+, Kf7, Qd8, Nd8, maybe Ne5 and white is down 1 point

[@rmschad5234]

The chatter asking if Hikaru and Magnus could team up to beat AlphaZero made me want to see a match similar to Kasparov's in '99 except it's the entire world with the aid of traditional engines and unrestricted collaboration vs. AlphaZero. It could also be cool to see an AlphaZero vs. The World simultaneous event where anyone can play a game which will be used to train a version of the system to play against players of known ratings.
