Wrong. The best game of 2020 was me, an 800 player blundering my queen and then my opponent blunders his queen.

[@GlobusTheGreat]

In back to back 10 min games at ~1150 I won a game from a losing position with "sneaky" discovered attacks on their queen. Makes me question why I try so hard to play objectively good moves when just preying on my opponent's psychology, hubris and lack of attention works so much better. lol

[@lorenzogalasso6252]

@@GlobusTheGreat very true, when I play blitz sometimes I have a very high accuracy and it is still very tough to win against some players whereas when you watch Hikaru's speedrun he makes very tricky moves and the opponent always falls into a trap. but sometimes it's complicated to trick because we are not Hikaru haha

[@GanstaPete]

seems Nakamura is downplaying Dubov's genius, saying he would most likely do it as well, of course retrospectively it's easy for Naka to say this when he could've gone for the dry position himself in a tournament as opposed to this sacrifice...

[@timvah4874]

No, not at all, I saw two comentaries of this match. One from GM Shipov(Russian commentator, Dubov's ex-coach), one from Radja, and they both called this move as their first idea in live

[@aksdk777]

I think Hikaru undervalues pawn to b4 in his analysis. It's not so much the queen sacrifice but that b4 move that makes a difference.

[@RockClimberAlex]

5:10 i fucking knew it. He says "en peasant" as a joke, but says it so much and so often you really wonder if he doesn't know how to say it. Fooled me, for certain.

[@asterlofts1565]

This is just my opinion, and I'm sure many people will be angry and upset with me, but there is something severe that bothers me here regarding the analysis in this video: Why does Hikaru seem to criticize in a somewhat derogatory way and even a little arrogant to Dubov's new move against Karjakin, seeing him as if it was really easy to act normally against that in any game, even between GM's or as if he really easily took care of it? I mean, if the movements are new to the opening of the white pieces, it is not at all easy for the black pieces to move, attack, counterattack and defend themselves correctly against that if there is no theory, evidence, sightings, not even a clue, rumors. or whatever is written before what Dubov did here; Karjakin was literally not prepared for that (NOBODY was really), and not only did it take him by surprise, but it dislodged him from himself, his strategies in mind went to the trash can and even if he had defended himself excellently and removed a lot of problems over against White, I'm sure that Dubov, who previously DOES studied the possibilities of this new move that he created, would have taken care of that too, at least in a comfortable way. In this case, Hikaru criticizes Karjakin at times as if to indirectly say "But what are you doing Karjakin? Why are you doing/not doing that move or that move? Why don't you do what I think? I can do better. than him because I'm the best. Period, there's no arguing, because I'm Hikaru Nakamura, just for that. " This same strange attitude I see in chess KZbinr/Streamers like Ghotamchess (and not just once). And remember, it is a game between masters, THERE IS TIME RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE, therefore, it is even more difficult to make a good decision at the moment in the face of what is new in those movements of White. I don't know, maybe I'm just imagining things against Hikaru to make an excuse for his criticism, but I sincerely believe that the departure of Dubov Vs Karjakin was more than great, and that Karjakin defended himself more than great also to be the first person to He faces Dubov's new move, and of course, Duvob with that tremendous move that took us all by surprise and revolutionized an old chess movement from 400 years ago in a masterful way, he played just as exceptional, and they just want him correct both to appear to be better to everyone.

[@Sam-bn7jk]

It's like watching Tal but at 3000 meters altitude. Astounded by this game.

[@briancheck2901]

Isn’t the point of Qxg6 being a good move that it’s the best one? The second best move for white, which is very human, is only -0.23, so I’m not sure why Hikaru says it the only move that doesn’t make white “much worse”. It would be extremely easy for a human to play bxe6 and just figure they’ll try to defend a worse position. Even when he went through the lines trying to prove his point, white was never lost, just worse.

[@gsan4251]

He says it's much worse from a perspective of a human GM. Not an AI. Sure the number isn't that significant, but the engine is basing it off the top moves which GMs will not always achieve.

[@NeoAxiom]

At 9:17, does Hikaru reference CS:GO by referring to the bishops as AWPs, or is he using a chess term I don't know? It would make sense because not long after he talks about their scope (like an AWP/sniper has a scope)

Yes, he refers to bishops as AWPs/snipers due to their ability to attack and defend from a long distance :) He also sometimes calls knights horses and queens grills. It's just all in good fun, like how he pronounces en passant("awn puh-SAHnt") as "an peasant"
