Hikaru: *This is Nepo's biggest weakness* me, 1600 blitz: *wrote that down*

[@tadapuju]

I hope we can capitalize on that when we have a chance to play with Ian.

[@landon3772]

I love when Hikaru says a insane game to us was a boring game, makes me remember I suck.

[@user-ej7sr3ow8b]

Yes, we need to be very good in order to figure out what those super GMs are thinking when they spend a lot of time to play a move that seems to be non-sense for us

It was boring tho

[@christianmasuku6264]

Yeah I just lost a1100 elo game so I know I suck 😂

[@twassell25]

Just because it was boring, doesn't mean it was bad. It was a great game

[@r.mcdonnell8614]

I love both these guys but I am pulling for Ding, one of my absolute favorites. Great to see him get the W and make it, officially, a match as now each have won a game

He probably was making a reference to gothamchess

[@aldocort3418]

And the fact that his camera is a bit back than usual, we can acknowledge Hikaru's natural 😍

[@seinundzeiten]

yes it reveals his 'craziness'

[@seselis1]

Maybe Levy uploads recaps faster but Hikaru's analysis is just next level

[@thePot_]

Levinson is no where near GM level

[@bvesen3672]

I think its aimed at different demographics. Hikaru for sure has a deeper understanding, but without a doubt if Levy wanted he could provide much deeper and insightful analysis.

[@DaEpic]

IM vs GM like of course....

[@axiommmm5977]

Both are goats 😊

[@kafkaesquee521]

Both provide different values.

[@hellothere9763]

Ding seems so humble. I'd like him to win it, though I wouldn't mind Nepo either. I like that it's very close.

[@psijicassassin7166]

Whoever wins this tournament will prove what fake communist country is better at chess.

[@stianaandal1488]

12:39 Magnus has said this too and I think its one of the reasons he didnt want to meet Nepo again

[@cvoko]

i love that you mentioned Danican-Philidor's quote "pawns are the soul of the game of chess" at 6:58 ❤️

[@r.mcdonnell8614]

I'm still not very good, but with every little improvement in my game I notice, or every 50 points I gain, I notice I've developed a deeper understanding of pawns

[@DavidKfilmmaker]

Picked ding from the start. He starts slow and once he gets going he’s a beast. B

[@shlingle]

now I cant unsee it

[@yildirim9485]

The job you are making is so good being a super gm and teaching people is so W

[@joeldick6871]

I think this game shows the human tendency to want to make progress, whether on the attack or on the defense, when the best thing to do is just hunker down and sit tight.

[@CountingSuns]

After seeing that thumbnail I’m convinced Ding would become a superstar celebrity and increase 75 rating points with a mustache like that.

[@makayneilson7570]

Great game! Also, close matches are always more exciting than blowouts.

[@christophe2570]

I wish there was a confession booth during the games so players can share their thoughts during the games.

[@negativenancy3738]

15:13 “Trying to push P here”😏

[@user-nm9mq2ud4q]

I really like watching chess recaps. But I also like the emotion of not knowing who is gonna win until the end of the match. It would be nice if the spoiler wasnt on the title of the video. That affects a lot :(

[@Hverven1]

+1

[@instacat1112]

this is a great world championship. it's hard to dislike either player. they are both deserving, both great people. may the best player win!

[@Gabriel-lc7bc]

Bro hikaru almost got an aneurysm doing that introduction LMAO😂 “for todays video”🧨

[@FlyingPichu]

idk why but that "welcome back, everyone" cracked me up...

[@austinlharris]

Really hope you make it there one day! Thanks for making these

[@FerherA-Aron]

0:00 bro he went from 😐 to 😃

[@jaxx4040]

Watching Trickie Hickie is like watching Levy and Antonio having a love child that’s a super Grandmaster

[@wikradani]

Dear GM Hikaru. I hope that GM Hikaru will play again for the FIDE candidates to challenge Ding/Ian. And please play the Benoni or Scandinavian defense. I learn so much from you about those openings.

[@kentlofgren]

Your recaps are great, GM Nakamura

[@UnknownPerson-ul1fn]

when ding is agressive.. hes on point..

[@donsurlylyte]

that cheery 'welcome' alone is worth a thumbs up

[@fedetomeco]

WELCOME BACK intesifies every video.

[@evan191919]

Video title has hella spoilers in it. I would keep some sort of mystery for those who watch the recap to find out the score

[@gruntgobshite]

Hikaru is so right. How difficult it is to shake off a bad habit even at elite level. This thing is so well known about Ian. He has a tendency to rush in critical situations with no time trouble in sight and make a stupid move. Magnus has said this, Ding hinted about this in his pre-match presser, I’m sure all of Nepo’s trainers must be saying this to him, I’m sure he himself is aware of this, yet he cannot shake this off. Such an amazing player but so frustrating when he does this. Another Ding victory and Nepo will tilt 100% one can be assured. Nepo all talent no mental strength.

[@ahrrydepp493]

Bro that thumbnail is amazing

Making hikaru gonna win the best chess streamer award

Always love the fake smile in the beginning ^^

bro hikaru would make such a good commentator ( and a world champion )

[@reyrayo2502]

Im not a good chess player but I've been playing since I was a kid. Hikaru thank you for helping me understand and dumbing it down for us 😅😂

[@mittarimato8994]

I believe he said he doesn't dumb down the content, otherwise his skills would suffer. He just doesn't tell every tiny detail, but taking the main routes/ideas, although some of is still skipped because one could analyze a game like this for hours.

[@patrickcunningham618]

knight ding and the diatonic triads are winning

[@duil2]

Hikaru posted!!! My night is complete!!!

[@youaretheone2]

Great recap! Enjoyed very much... Great alt move(s) review!

Seems like Hikaru became an internet persona, you can see the tryhard with the voice. Wish he could just be himself.

Man doing the levy stare lmao

[@traceler]

We like Din but like Nepo to have a chance and win, Ian is very humble and nice person.

[@finalfantasy1201]

Just started watching chess. Maybe a stupid question but why are they only playing 1 game a day? Do these games take that long that you can only play 1 per day in this championship. Or do they play just 1 so they can go study what happened for hours before the next game. Just curious

[@xn0vae]

Long games can last 7/8 hours, it’s physically exhausting, thus impossible to play more than one game per day.

[@aaronchan1088]

Nepo threw away the draw with that knight blunder. Redemption for ding.

[@Shan-jg4nd]

Hikaru, tough day for you today, get some good rest!!

[@alfredkowsky7374]

Great animated analysis by GM Hikaru Nakamura 🤩!

[@andrewr8144]

"A severe blunder!" at 8:54 . The evaluation bar moves to a pawn down. WIth this criteria, most my moves are severe blunders, and I am not sure what to call my actual blunders.

[@user-xu9go9bm2v]

Hikaru at the 0:00 looks like he's about to kill you if you do any wrong move

[@tonypeter8209]

ironic and brilliant also the cover picture!

Ninja hatthori once said -ding,ding,ding,ding just for this moment i guess 😂😂😂

[@wombolino2343]

I love how Hikaru steps up with these great reviews. Agadmator just misses too many critical moments, and since Gotham tries to pretend chess matches are a Vin Diesel action movie, I can hardly bear to watch his videos anymore. This is such a breath of fresh air in comparison.

[@firiasu]

The preview so amazing!

Welcome back everyone

[@renataglascgaming]

Tbh, I watched the game live and I was not surprised when I saw Nepo's blunders. However, I always look for your recap as I can learn more from chess

[@Paragelmen]

There was no blunders by Nepo. Is was a mistake, not obvious

[@Viewer13128]

@@Paragelmen the commenter was so high level that it looked like a blunder to the commenter. can't blame him/her if it looked like a blunder to him/her.

[@jeffvanderwerf3391]

I have to laugh, because often these minute inaccuracies are called "blunders" by high-level players. Meanwhile, the other day I hung my queen because I happened to miss the rook sitting on the other side of the board. Now THAT is a blunder 😀

[@susbedo9258]

Nepo's "blunder" is probably still a good move for FM and IM. But playing that against a high rank GM that can exploit even a marginal inaccurate move can be deadly.

[@kkarx]

It is a terrible move at all levels. Just look at ths evaluation bar.

[@Christiaan1958]

Hikaru is Gold again AS USUAL WITH HIS RECAP!. The man can just talk chess sense into your head!...Who cannot from this?...only Faaar out dudes cannot benefit!😂

[@azouitinesaad3856]

It's always a pleasure to see en passant on the board.
