When Chat Doesn't Understand the Meme

[@tadaokiart]

Hikaru hasn't played chess for 2 years. Historically has a bad memory and is poorly prepared in the opening. Streams everyday for 10 hours. 34 years old. And now he suddenly remembers the entire opening theory up to 40th move. Better prepared than Caruana. Didn't lose a single game. I don't even know what's funnier, how Nakamura obvioualy doesn't get memes, or how sometimes he pretends to actually get them. I think the option second is funnier

If you're alpha zero or stockfish, then it's fine

[@jort93z]

​@@gamerdroid6666 Chess engines aren't that great at openings. They crunch they next 20 moves deep, but that's it. The opening is important for the entire game though. Chess engines often use an endgame database and an opening book.

[@okktok]

@@jort93z that’s not true anymore actually, computers almost always play Ruy Lopez, Berlin Variation or Queens Gambit Declined, both openings are known to be excellent since basically ever.

[@jort93z]

​@@okktok Without a book they aren't actually prepared, though. Chess engines will calculate 15 or 30 seconds on the first move, even in a blitz game, if you don't give them an opening book. Any titled player will be able to play the first 3-5 moves within 10 seconds(depending on how familiar they are with the line). The chess engine will need a minute for the same thing.

[@gamerdroid6666]

But I know that any openings is fine, except dunsak opening (pawn move 2 steps and was behind the rooks)

I.. did people not read chat? They were referencing the animation "Inside Out" from the last meme. One person said he didn't get it, because Hikaru didn't explain why he didn't play OTB for the real reason.

At 5:50 I think they are saying the h4 h5 are novelty or when sprung they usually indicate an attack

I don't know why people are saying chat didn't get the meme. They did, they were replying to Hikaru asking what animation was that from, which was inside out lmao

[@catland88]

Hikaru has done a great service to professional players like Wesley So. I imagine: Wesley doesn't watch the stream to learn, or to get into Hikaru's head, or anything. He watches it while having breakfast, working out, driving somewhere, in between his actual chess study. It's his background track. Until Hikaru, Wesley never had a streamer to play in the background while he went about his life. Now there is an entertaining chess streamer him to idly watch who is at his level. Before HIkaru, Wesley would be making dinner and watching Minecraft.
