The Queen Is Just For Bait | Botez Gambit Speedrun Part 20

[@tim__drozd]

Opponent plays move and thinks it’s pretty good, because Hikaru has been thinking for 30 seconds, meanwhile Hikaru trying to show chat his bitcoin

[@arunrai3609]

😂

[@tamelnv7048]

LOL

[@MasterInHD]

Pretty funny how I told everyone that I would lose against Hikaru even with up a queen, as a 1650, and people (800s) said that I don’t deserve my rating and here he is finally beating people my rating pretty easily. 800s be delusional af.

[@GeekProdigyGuy]

people who say anybody (barring cheaters ofc) "doesn't deserve their rating" is literally too stupid to understand the concept of a rating

[@MasterInHD]

@@GeekProdigyGuy their arguments was that they beat Stockfish up a Queen. Like, dude, Stockfish always plays the best moves no matter what, so if it thinks that trading is best, it would do so. That’s way easier than to play a human who can play almost as good move as stockfish, but at the same time play moves that aren’t the best but confuse the position on the board in order for you to blunder easier

[@somethingsomething2100]

@@MasterInHD even then I highly doubt they beat stockfish…

[@iateyourgranny]

Well this is not exactly up a queen, he is trading a queen for a minor piece.
