An Interview with Hikaru Nakamura 

Hikaru's brutal honesty is what the world needs

Even when he's not talking about Magnus he's thinking about Magnus.

Naka is a great guy. Wish him all the best !

"If my rating dropped to 2600, I'd just quit chess. Why play something you suck at."

He didn't mention having watched magnus when he was talking about watching Sopiko, Anish, Jan, and Peter, but deep down we all know he watches all the Banter Blitzes with Magnus Carlsen

I'm surprised at how fluent Nakamura actually is, surprised at how fluent Nakamura actually is you guys

love the interview, not a fan of the blue screen. edit: and how your special guest is partially off the screen.

How about Banter Blitz with GM Hikaru Nakamura? :)

Naka is a legend

Hikaru is such a great interview.

It's always lovely to see Hikaru .

27.04 “Lela just seems like an old guy with great understanding who blunders pieces” 😂

Great Interview. Hikaru is very forthcoming like Peter Swidler always is.

Man, Jan bobs his head more times than I blink

I was a little disappointed, that there wasn't mentioned anything about a possible move to Mixer...

I'm glad we have access to interviews with top chess players, but please, maybe work on the setting?

HIKARU is the best streamer. So much amazing content. Streaming sapping his creativity and enjoyment is such a huge factor.

stocks and real estate. love it. allows him to play chess forever comfortably. nice interview

Thank you for interview

36:00

The only question I want to hear Hikaru answer is whether or not he said "resign when you're lost" to Prag after that blitz game. I've heard people argue for him saying it and not saying it with complete conviction, but I've yet to hear Hikaru comment on it. I recognise it was a while ago and he probably doesn't care anymore

Nice interview

Thank you chess24

Imagine Hikaru being your landlord.

Hokamura es de mis jugadores favoritos Apesar de todo , lo sigo admirando

Great footage, Jan.

What happened to Jan's Banter Blitz sessions? Is he retiring from Banter and only doing commentary?. We miss your banter nonsense Jan!

The camera needs to be more centered. But it's all about the content.

36:17

i bet Nakamura plays runescape

let's face all our FEARS

Hehe. Welcome to cold Hamburg

Wow Alibaba and Baidu, That s a big chunk of my protfolio. Smart Hikaru

Throwing the draw shade at Radjabov :-)

Magnus lives in Hikaru's head rent-free.

Why has Jan stopped making Banter Blitz?

Hikaru is a nice guy

Great interview, Hikaru! It's refreshing to see someone under the age of forty who seems to understand how to successfully put himself on the "right side of the equation" when it comes to financial decision-making in life. Many younger individuals tend to think, "If I only had more income..." and "Some day I'll begin saving..." etc., when in fact almost everyone who wins the lottery ends up in ruins financially, and approximately 78% of all former NFL players (who were all essentially once millionaires) ultimately end up filing for bankruptcy. Meanwhile, kids: start investing in your twenties, because just a penny doubled in value thirty times (2^30) equals well over ten million dollars! You only need thirty doubles, and you probably have that many years in which to seek them (just Amazon, for example, has had about eight or nine doubles since 2001; many other companies have done even better). Of course, if you want to build even more wealth, just start with more than a penny! I do have some concern for those who don't understand how hard things can get in the investment world: it's been virtually a straight-up ride since about March 2009, and while that could continue for a while longer, it cannot last forever. Recent trends such as commission-free trades really do disguise some of the dangers inherent with investing; there was some element of discipline created decades ago when it often cost $300 or $500 just for the commission fee to buy a healthy position in a stock, and an equally similar fee to sell it! When I was Nakamura's age, interest rates on buying a home were headed toward 20% and the unemployment rate was well above 10%. It's been relatively easy these past three years for anyone with even just a small chunk of wealth to do as Hikaru says and "buy the dips" created by 'Our Petulant Twitterer-in-Chief,' but this easy-bake-oven of predictable profits will probably soon shut off like a leaky faucet, and for those born after say 1975, they will finally get to experience financially a "truly level playing field" that will make this past decade look like the "easy times" and the "good old days" for which they truly are. Start Saving and seek out your Thirty Doubles, but also: Brace Yourselves! - j q t -

@16:05 first mention of Magnus. I feel sad. What's with that Hikaru? There had to go 16 minutes until you mention him? That is so out of style for you! :\ And then almost 2 minutes for the next one.

I hope Naka bounces back in 2020.

Should have been like Radjabov and wualified for the candidates.

Hikaruuuuuuu

is this jan's normal face or he upset?

awesome

All the streaming can’t be good for his game. Smashing weaker players and reading chat at the same time isn’t a formula for a good preparation-no matter who you are.

Shoulda asked him about his evil laugh when he found naroditsky lost his game.

wow. this jan seems kind of a sneaky guy to me, really mean, I am surprized that Haka agreed to this interview..

The Knight f4 idea from Fabi in the Berlin is in his chessbase dvd, even I knew that one move ;)

👍👍

12:25 "especially in modern day chess where advantages do not exist without mistakes" - In which kind of chess did advantages ever exist without somebody making a mistake?!

Tell Hikaru to update to Lc0 v0.22.0 he obviously as the holder version.

“If I get to 2650 , I’d be so disgusted that I’d quit”...that’s not the greatest attitude in the world. You shouldn’t quit something at the first sign of adversity

I feel bad for Nakamura 😔
