I think he meant the solution he found was too easy to be the actual answer, he probably thought that somewhere in his mind.

@@tfwthewhen offering a draw and finding a draw ina 'puzzle' is a different thing 😂 but yeah..

@@tfwthewhen anish would find a way

@@tfwthewhen its... a joke

😂😂😂😭

​@@tfwthewhen it really does though. the absurdity of offering a draw 'to a puzzle' is the key element in the joke. he wants to draw so much that he will do such a thing, treating even the forced win puzzle as yet another opportunity to draw.

Drawgiri strikes again

Drawish giri

Best sense of humour in the circuit.

Cut him some slack. He has not been playing drawish chess lately.

You do not get to 2790 drawing much unless you only play Magnus and then drawing is fine

bahahaha

Those jokes got old years ago. He deserved some shit after the 2016 candidates, but he’s no longer the most drawish top player. He wasn’t even the most drawish player in the video (Wesley’s chess has less fight than Anish’s)

Same old joke

Balancing the desire not to lose with the desire not to think

@@fdart5854 And the second one is important because of faster time controls. So he basically just sets the bar high for himself as a speed demon. It's classic Hikaru. Always worrying about his speed 😁

he didnt want to think too much so he just castled

Well he's not a chess player anymore, he has a REAL job now, so it's not like he's going to waste his time thinking or anything.

He just doesn't care

legendary comment

This man litteraly doesn't care, that's what you don't understand

gchh

@@whannabi how do they not understand? They obviously made a joke unless you jokeception me

looks like he didn’t ask his magical ceiling for help

Its because they all recognize the same patterns. To solve the second puzzle for example, you first analyse all the checks and you will quickly see that 1. Ra3+ bxa3 2. b3+ Ka5 3. Be2+ is almost mate but the King has a6 as an escape square. So you think of changing up the order to cut off the king's escape route and you come up with Be2. Now you have a mate threat already and you check if there are any ways to stop that threat. Rg3 to stop it was just not that easy to spot which is why most of them thought they hat solved it. After Rg3 I personally gave up and couldnt find Qf3. Hikaru shouldve tried a bit harder because it is quite poor for his level to only think as far as a 1600 like me.

@@extrusix969 And did you analyze it all in 10 seconds?

@@TristanSune i mean hikaru has double his elo, that's a gigantic difference

@@TristanSune he analyzed with shown answers for 10 minutes. so yeah, hikaru is 1600))

I think he just got distracted lol

@@krisztianfekete3277 what he got distracted at🤔

@@slushie3061 qiyu 💀💀

He had a tough run after the disappointing performance of Team USA at the last Chennai olympiad (outside his win at the Chesscom global championship, I guess). I think he mentioned before that he tends to underperform when he does not get enough rest time in between tourneys, or something like that. So yea, I guess when he's tired, he is really off.

No Wesley is So

For just that they prolly needed like two seconds 😅

What's really interesting is WHY. It's also why they can consider a position for a few seconds and note that it's probably constructed rather than coming from a real game. There is a purpose to placing each piece on each square in a game, and you can reconstruct several variations for how you might have gotten to a given position. Thus, some positions that are invented for puzzles will have a distinctly unnatural look that is obvious only to someone who has seen those patterns over and over again and can thus notice their lack. So memorizing the board is not memorizing the board as much as it is noting which tactics have been employed so far. Once you've done that, there are only a few pieces left to remember the coordinate position for - a now-isolated pawn that has moved 3 squares forward for example or a bishop that is in the center of the board because the position is post-capture and it has not yet been repositioned. Having an understanding of the flow of the game in this way makes it relatively simple to play with your eyes closed, or blindfolded, because your understanding enables you to not need to remember.

@@tobiasvanavelon9684 I believe there was a study which conducted that chess masters are way better at memorising positions that could've been reached in a normal game compared to a normal player. However, when the position is very chaotic (perhaps, randomly-generated), there is suddenly little to no difference between the memorisation skills of a normal player and a master. This really highlights how much of a pattern recognition game chess is.

@@KatieLifts I need a definition of what normal players are and what masters are, because as a 1700 I wouldn’t be able to remember these positions in my head and these are not chaotic position

@@fos1451 well, in this case I meant most untitled players as "normal". I'm not sure where the division begins, but as a 2100 (lichess), I'm unable to memorise those positions as well. It probably all depends on the amount of time you have spent studying chess.

So accurate hahaha

what the hell how did u know i was eating LOL

I think she threw them all off. Lol

Nemo the baddest fr

Should have seeen when she interviewed him after he won this

He clearly has put in the practice despite not liking them, very good lesson for us amateurs, really.

Nah, this is how chess is taught in Poland. You are pretty much forced to do puzzles a lot, this is why he hates doing them. And that's also why he said he remembered each one.

WE NEED MAGNUS

Holy sh8

there already is a first one of these on the channel :)

me too, i cant even remember what i ate this morning

Cannot disagree

Absolutely

He's the only one I'd never heard of, until this video. He's obviously very good. It's a name I'll now remember.

Isn’t Qb3 faster than Qxb7 there? King has nowhere to go

@@tomd9819 Ah, but what about ...Qc6, guarding the pinned bishop?

You seem to understand this second puzzle better than me, can you help me understand why they were making such a big deal of Bd2, Rxg2? Wouldn't white still have mate in 2 with Ra3, bxa3; b3#? Edit: I Just realized after posting this that the move was Bd2, Rg3; not Bd2, Rxg2. Oops.

@@TheLivingJon ah legend, this was giving me a headache, had the same predicament

Beads or no

@@MajorAddiction puzzle speaks for itself?

i think the "poor" guy is not i:n a good shape right now, wonder why ;)

@@stephbug1619 he is butthurt

1. d4 Nf6 White to play and make Black resign

The point is to cut off the rook on the third file while allowing the rook to checkmate because of the bishop pin. I would have found the bishop move but QF3 is just too much man.

@@larsdev.271 they just have 10s to look at the board and have less than 1 min to solve it cuz they dont wanna wast time

ngl its a similar playstyle to cheaters

because there's a distraction

​@@lx4302 oh this is probably why women's chess is a separate category. There's that distraction element that can make people not think with as much focus

It's all done more or less automatically after enough training and chess training is the only thing these guys do in their life. They solve so many puzzles that Duda even remembered the 3rd one as already solved some time ago :)

@@SergeiInyushkin Nothing goes automatically. You definitely need (a lot of) talent also.
