@Someone You can't manually move in less than 0.1 seconds, can you? Let alone otb. You just need some sort of penalty, otherwise premoving is just too op. Lichess does it by not allowing move stacking, chesscom by the .1 penalty. Its fair.
I mean to be fair it wasn't 10+ turns of pre moves he resets or has to change it a couple times at the start its only his checkmate set up is set like 4 turns in advance. But still he does think pretty fast, he probably accounted for the couple ways it could play out which is why he had no issues immediately readjusting since it was a route he imagined already.
@@louisrobitaille5810 Depends on the time format. For blitz, rapid, and bullet it’s debatable between him and So. For classical, Caruana’s still an easy first among american players.
I did see Hikaru lose his fianchetto bishop on icc (1 min game) due to premove,when his opponent took the f6 pawn and then the bishop on g7 in a suicide queen capture attempt that worked for him.
This pre move setting is the one thing I love that really helps separate the good chess players from those who actually do this for a living. To pre move, you have to literally, accurately, know your opponent based on how they play. I don't know who this Scarra is, but judging from how Hikaru did it, he must be a casual because I've never seen Hikaru this confident in his pre moves before, at least on RU-vid.
The premoves aren't made by knowing the opponent inside out but rather they're safe, notice how Hikaru moves all his pieces to light squares so that scarras dark square bishop can't attack them etc.
I really don't think moving your cursor from one chess square to another is anywhere near as impressive as playing something like OSU or an FPS well, lol.
In the last few move, white king on b2 got checked by the queen on b3. Hikaru guessed the king will go to c1, so he play knight e4 to block the king escape. White king now couldn’t move so hikaru just walk his king in to deliver checkmate.
Imagine if Magnus replaces opponent in midgame, hikaru be like it must be winning I'm not sure or maybe it's a draw, I don't care I will just go for it .wait is he actually losing no no no he is tricking me . How can he win I absolutely had better position.HE IS SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS.
Its premoving- essentially, you pre-choose your next couple of turns all at once. Assuming that after your opponent moves your move is still legal, the engine automatically carries out your choice.
