16 Year Old Ruthless Russian Master STUNS GM Hikaru! FM Ruthless Robert vs GM Hikaru Nakamura 

How can people hate on this guy, honestly?

At 11:00, Black Rook f8 × f6 pawn ??! Instead of black a5 pawn. Black rook at g7 unprotected.

@@QLEK99 He's not perfect he has made mistakes but I think some of the hate has been over the top at times. He fired Chessbae after the Eric Hansen stuff, and that's the main thing that situation called for I think other than just the apology.

Why is he moving back to Florida?

@@adrianbanhao7977 He owns a nice house there and he paid it off. I think LA just was never a permanent thing.

and plays a line he knows will be madness

Hikaru told Coffee Chess that, unless he's playing a GM, he doesn't need to know the other players rating.

Sorry but even IM he would destroy 5:1 easily, even a lot of lower GMs

@@nonfiction876 Online for sure but even OTB?

Last young GM he played Hikaru gave some kid 9-0.

Wanted to say the same thing 😁 A soon as they agreed to a draw i paused the video and went through conments to see who already wrote it. Now back to the analize 💪

Flagging in 5min vs 1min? Bad taste

I guess he wants a clean victory

@@josephjoestar4633 Bad taste? It's all part of the game. Hikaru agreed to it. It's like saying winning a football match 1-0 after scoring a penalty is a bad sportsmanship.

@@riovuki4423 The end position is dead draw. He could have flagged Hikaru but it would be meaningless as it's not a rated game. They are playing for fun. If it were not a dead draw, he would have flagged him

5 to 1 against a future FIDE Master

@@nwesterbeckmaster future FM? He is already a FM. A future GM is highly likely given his age. He is 16.

This kid is strong. Probably FM level or more

@@eh7602 bruh hikaru is going by on 20%

@@eh7602 he was getting more oxygen than all of them? Damn that mask must be filled with pure oxygen

That’s one thing that’s super cool about watching hikaru. Normally the grandmaster stereotype is portrayed as a stoic arrogant person but hikaru is so chill and humble giving his opponents the upmost respect no matter rank or age.

@@TSfish94 It's utmost respect, not "upmost".

@@TSfish94 Classy. One reason I like watching him.

These chess guys are unbelievable magnus once said he remember hundreds of games start to finish

@@joulupukki1607 lmfao try tens of thousands. Not hundreds.

@@cl1489tens of thousands ?😂 stop it

@@ExtremeClashingyes? not just Magnus, in fact it is very common at the super GM level, they only need to see a game once to memorize it. Simply because the way they are experiencing the game is nothing like you and I. There are many examples where Hikaru can solve a very difficult puzzle before a 1200-1500 rated player can even conceptualize where the pieces are on the board. This is because the way his mind is storing the information is extremely efficient and it is necessary for the level of calculation they are doing. Super GMs can take in the whole board state at once with a glance. Chess boards to Magnus or Hikaru are like letters or symbol are to us. They just see it and know what it means. Tactics or patterns are like words (a combination of letters.) A game is like a sentence or a paragraph for them. This analogy isn't perfect, but it can help better understand how they can process and memorize so much. It is all encoded somewhere in their brains. They know and have seen basically every pattern possible already, a chess game is just a series of those patterns. So in short, if we were to try to do this it would be extremely gruelling and borderline impossible, but that is because we don't have the necessary mental framework or experience needed. Brains are very malleable and can be trained to do amazing things if there is a need. I believe memorizing games like this is just second nature to them, this ability is just a natural consequence of what it means to be that good at the game. There are levels to this

He would have lost

@@ryanamburgy2791 he got to a dead drawn endgame, hence the draw offer, with a 2400 rated player with those odds. If you can’t be impressed by that you’re playing yourself.

@@kochevar99 they only drew because he was nice naka had a second on his clock

@@noahwurtz9921 still it means that 5/1 odds is NOT good enough for a 2400, not even close

@@ryanamburgy2791 it is close though. If Naka had 30 seconds more, he wouldn’t be in that exact position with 30 more seconds on his clock. That’s not how chess works. And they’re playing with no increment.

The board was in his head so you’re not wrong lol

Haha exactly so insane

You understood the position? Drinks on me m8 lol

Right!

Quarter speed was the speed I could properly follow what was going on 😅😂

Ha! That's cool.. I even had to take screen shots to get into the position deeply after the game got over.. N pause I did 5/6 times. ❤

yeah respect to Brian I've been hooked for years great stuff guys 😁. 3 years and counting GG

😂😂

XD

He is human, but the legends say that Stockfish is his real father

Do you know why he didn't take it, I see the knight and queen checks but no real danger.

@@crispy1691 I'm also curious. Looked like the knight on F6 was pinned and the queen couldn't threaten mate because it would leave the knight hanging

@@Feverish6969 Looks like hikaru would just win back the dark square bishop with a knight check

2:13 lol 😂

Miss click

@@TooManyChoices1 why didn’t king take bishop there?

@@jeffploetner awkward Position with 3 possible checks, i didnt count it through but maybe its actually force mate too

@May you have peace i don't understand why a lot of you guys think that Hikaru did sooo great to get a draw, even tho it was just blunder, white lost the game playing one bad move. And what is this "to get a draw in the end, at best" how can you be so unrespectful, it just sounds like nonsense for me

Just this one time I'll let u ask me about my affairs

He technically could have flagged him, but chose to be a good sportsman.

In one of the videos FM Duck also drew once against Hikaru.

@@AKhan0372 that's true I completely forgot!

At 5 to 1 odds it seems only fair …

@@mercipolitely1634 No, they were both moving the pieces with the same speed, and that guy could have easily maintained to do that for another 1,3 seconds (time on Hikaru's clock) while he still had 24,5 seconds

A 5-5 match with a non-jetlagged, awake Hikaru would be a complete annihilation.

@@christhompson9140 True but I would still like to see it

if he can only draw in 5-1 game, he would get absolutely destroyed in the 5-5

@@chanddd2 hikaru had 0.9 seconds when offered a draw. This was out of symathy, hikaru lost here badly.

@@MyEmp123 you have no idea what you are talking about. Hikaru forced a dead drawn end game in under 58 seconds to a 2400 rated player who had 5 minutes with the white pieces. You dont know how hard that is.

I wish i was 1600 i cant even get to 1000

@@kennysmith8348 same hardstuck 850

That is good for his immune system. I was actually surprised to see that mask, because it is common knowledge that masks do not stop viral infections at all, and are actually quite unhealthy. Apparently, intelligence is a relative concept.

I don't see being disappointed with your position as being MAD, I see mad where you show verbally and hand gestures and visible anger! I didn't see any of that. I saw stress knowing he was in a battle knowing he was in 5:1 time battle with a good 2400 player! I saw him moving at exceptional speeds and moving dead pieces away quickly so he could hit the clock quickly. What did you see that you know he was MAD?

@@advancednutritioninc908 he hung a pawn at 415 and another at 455. He then hung a knight at 530 and started shaking his head in disgust.

@@theTeflonDon1 - thanks for the informative reply. You might be right. we might just be talking semantics! All i saw was him not being happy with his play or position - which i have seen occasionally before. What i felt was because - he flew home from berlin, played the rapid chess championship, and then went and played at coffee chess he was just tired and played at a lower level than he was used to.

@@advancednutritioninc908 he played really well, its nothing against hikaru. Most chess gms are perfectionist and would cringe at games we would probably be very proud of.

@@theTeflonDon1 yup, if i play like him, i would be so proud. But for him, i can hear him say “so bad guys.. i play so bad..”

Hikaru looks at it like a 6-minute game as he thinks on the opponent's time.

It is, apparently. It's also incredible.

@@yzfool6639 Hikaru was actually losing on time, and that guy offered him a draw out of respect.

Only because of time

@@GingerBalls420Bro Duh. Everyone can read a clock.

You don't play chess?

Easily as it was 24s vs 0.9. It''s ok showing that respect but when you get a once in a lifetime chance to flag Hikaru you should take it. He'd certainly do it to you. No mercy.

@@kikii1 that’s what I was thinking

nowdays even thinking is sport....
