[@jesusjaviergarcia]

Hikaru has the board a couple of millimeters closer to him giving him the obvious advantage 😅

[@andrewdavies3091]

Those few millimeters means Kramnik has way too much lag, obvious cheating

[@Godzi-ki1sz]

Those milimeters help hikaru see better moves than he should, his victory should be revoked for that

Kramnik should have blocked Hikaru much earlier. Then report by strictly following the procedure.

0:22 this is why I wouldn't play blitz IRL if I was a GM. Bro moved a piece before HIkaru even hit his timer.

[@Perks0n]

why specifically only if you were a GM? what's the significance of that?

[@alanprak80]

Meh. They were quickly playing out known opening theory, not really thinking at this point; I don't think GM's would care about the fractions of a second lost or gained from this.

No, actually hikaru himself said that he really enjoyed playing against kramnik and many a times they would even analyse their games for even hours.

[@therockstar17]

Is it against the rules to move your pieces before the other player has pressed his side of the clock?

[@gutschgutscher2609]

Did Kramik miss the skewer (his two rooks and the bishop of Hikaru)?...I think his downfall started there because he had to give up his own bishop.

[@elwhagen]

So THIS is why Kramnik hates Hikaru so much! Getting royally spanked with the white pieces. 🙂

[@septembermorgen1690]

Kramnik clearly lost because of a tampered clock 😂

[@arycheng609]

3:12 who can explain why did hikaru move Rc5? And why is that the best move?

[@Tyrantofthewind]

It is the best move because it does a lot of things at the same time. First thing you have to do is realize that the rook would only be guarding the pawn on c4 if Hikaru had not moved it. Second thing is the position and pieces of Kramnik. He has a light squared bishop and Hikaru's only notable weakness is the single pawn on c4. By moving the rook to a dark square anchored by two dark squared pawns, the rook is essentially guarding both the front and side entrances to the left side of the board. Then you take into account Kramnik's single light side pawn on a4. It is blocking Kramnik's entry and cannot move forward because of Hikaru's pawns. It is essentially playing defense for Hikaru by blocking light space entry from that side. Note also that because of this while Hikaru's light squared bishop is looking at Kramnik's king (and defending), Kramnik's bishop is completely blocked by his own pawns staring at the wrong side of the board. TLDR: He moved the rook to a better defensive position that could not be easily assailed and of which he could later use to play offense and defense by sliding over.

[@anamorfoplasis]

So you can hit the clock before you physically promote?

[@gustavopp83]

Hikaru was a little too strong

[@Abc-tx4zr]

kramnik was threatening to back rank him or trap his bishop 5:15 he should have played bf3 to stop h5 and its the same idea as h3. trapped the bishop or threatening re8+ backranking hikaru then hikaru had to make space for his king or play rd8 to stop back rank then g4 puts the bishop in an awkward position after f5 the bishop is locked out and in one line kramnik can rxbd7 rxd7 and bc6 forking the rooks and winning a piece. And kramnik would push f5 after g5 and bring the king to the center of the board to assist the passed pawn on d5. The white rooks will line up on the 7th rank and the f pawn and a pawn will be threatened. At 5:15 kramnik has a clear and easy plan that he squandered he never should have lost that position g4 was a major mistake and after he had to start over with a brand new idea. Which is why the eval bar goes to 0. He lost a beautiful position

[@Pfefferhaubitze]

9:02 illegal move, but I don't know, who made the illegal move. Maybe Kramnik, because Hikaru didn't end the move and Kramnik captured a pawn? In blitz isn't it an immediatly loss, if Hikaru insists?

[@KaptnJolly]

oooooh right.. idk the rules, but if i would guess, i think Hikaru maybe did the illegal move because he's supposed to promote the pawn (fully). he pressed the clock before his move ended. although kramnik played his move, before hikarus move ended.. .. i guess they have gentlemans agreement because they like each other so much

Come on this doesn't mean anything. The game was drawn and Kramnik sacrificed two pawns to open up the position, but lost in the end. He was the higher rated player, so of course he was annoyed. Hikaru was not liked by many players at that time due to his unfriendly personality.

[@kafkaesquee521]

Who said this in particular means anything? You are arguing with the wall. This is just a normal blitz game, Hikaru won, and Kramnik was naturally very disappointed. Doesn't change the fact that Kramnik is now a deranged old man, who has completely and utterly lost his mind, and accuses people of cheating without any proof.

[@vibovitold]

when you're getting convincingly outplayed by a young player (good job by the channel owner not to specify which tournament it is from, but obviously it must have been rather long ago), and that's being a former world champion who wrestled the title from Kasparov, you won't be happy about it no matter regardless of how bubbly, aodrable and friendly that player is

[@pedroainaris482]

Bro is arguing with the wall

[@user-xg3co7rg3h]

@@vibovitold it is universally agreed that magnus is a better player than kramnik, he had always lost to prag, gukesh, abdusatorov, 10yr old faustino oro (online) and never said anything, in facts he only compliments young players whenver he loses, go see what happened when kramnik lost to abdusatorov in the armageddon championship otb, plus online blitz is completely different than classical chess, see players like fabiano caruana and gukesh and compare their classical vs their blitz, if daniel narodistky played a 10 game classical math against kramnik i think kramnik would probably win like at least 5 and draw the rest as he's one of the hardest players to defeat in the history of chess, but if they play 100 game 3+0 blitz match, i think narodistky would win at least 70 games and not lose more than 10 and i am not joking bcuz he's probably the best online blitz(no increment) player in the world not named magnus carlsen or hikaru nakamura, yet he has never even reached 2650 in his classical rating
