I can be like, 'okay i got this, just move there, there. Thats trapped, take' when watching him. When starting my own game I can nvr get into those positions.
@@megamind8027 I actually do, I'm a 1700 on lichess but I swear I be making moves my opponents NEVER make on me. I'm sick with tactics. Problem is im insanely aggressive so I'm always forgetting to defend whatever my opponent is attacking. Okay, obviously not hikaru level lol. But I've bookmarked tons of games where I'm like these tactics could be in a RU-vid vid, Eric Rosen style. I find the sexiest puzzle rush type moves a lot
22:52: No. AlphaZero, and literally every single other chess engine for that matter, plays as if it were playing against itself. This means that when it is down material or having to save the game, it doesn't try to be tricky because it always thinks the opponent will see it. Instead, it plays to try to exaggerate the game's length as long as possible. Conveniently, this usually makes the bot play a lot of counterplay, because the counterplay that it makes the opponent will have to deal with before being able to attack, which exaggerates the game's length. Inconveniently, this makes it play for draws, which might not work in games were it could've won by being tricky. There is actually a solution to this, which is kinda complicated but still possible. There is a little known chess engine called Maia, and it tries to find the most human moves from 1100-1800 ELO. If Maia-1800, the highest rated Maia, was merged with Stockfish, Stockfish would be able to come up with extremely tricky lines that most 1800 ELO players would miss! This would actually be a very useful tool for coming up with lines in high rated events. I'd like to see a programmer(s) try to do that sometime.
No u fool, ur just making bs stuff up from your imagination. They play what they evaluate as the best move, not play as if they were against themselves.
The best series you have ever made. It is seriously so helpful to see what you do against the low ELOs. Please more speedruns maybe a bullet speedrun next.
He's not even being ironic despite the synthwave and sunglasses. He just thinks he's better at life than everyone. Doesn't wanna help, doesn't wanna teach, doesn't even really wanna entertain, doesn't want anything more than his ego stroked Dude's a straight narcissist, he proves it every vid he uploads. Just stop watching him y'all, there's so many better channels and streamers
The shrinked chess board relative to the actual video height makes it really not enjoyable to watch on mobile. Please consider getting back to the old format with full height board.
One second he says streaming is much more difficult than we think the next he says he doesn't think about it that much, he just shows up and does his thing and that's it
@@srambrero that's a terrible comparison, because to get to that point as a GM he's had years and years of countless hours of study, preparation on playing
Your source is Cody Connors, a tattooed unemployed drug addict who flexes his guitar collection in an apartment while scrounging for work as a "sound editor" lol
Randomly clicked on a hikaru vid and he's talking about 'London enjoooyer so he gets mad when he can't play his setup' shit made me piss myself laughing
Hikaru, just a thought but because you always have so much music playing I think it would be informative for the viewers to know what track is playing. Eric Hansen does that and it’s very useful. Maybe your editor can sort that out for future videos :)
idk.. but i assume hikaru's music is generated by twitch.. if so.. you'd think there'd be a feature on twitch to display the current track title. Yeh it sux when you hear a good track but have no way of finding out the artist.
Hikaru is so right about that. It's like when you play bots or computers on weak settings, sometimes you will still not find the correct line simply because when they blitz the move out you'll think either you must have blundered, you didn't play as strong of a move as you thought you did, or they are very confident that the move they just played was the best. That psychology is quite effective.
Well said! My friend has told me she had difficulty with bots. I was perplexed since these were low rated bots. But then, I watched her play and it clicked as to the reason. Basically exactly as you said it here
nah this guy is on another level, be it 1500s or 1800s, be confident or not, you will get crushed by super gm in under 20 moves. Its all about skill and experience, and in case of super gms, immense talent
It's a speedrun, he's just seeing how fast he can climb the ELO ladder on a new account. Fun to watch the games get better over time and all ELO will be 'refunded' when he's done.
I mean I know Hikaru’s disrespect is tongue in cheek but I do find it moronic when someone thinks they will play an opening sequence against any move and be fine
Hikaru is basically the Mark Goldbridge of chess streaming - a bit of a prat, might come off as unlikeable, but if you're a fan then you find him entertaining
In the last game opponent could have played Qe8+ and continue to an annoying king chase with a lot of room for mistakes for black. I doubt hikaru saw it all till the end where he escapes
alekines defence is disrespectful because its the worst defense and puts you in the worse position and is the opening that a bot that was created to lose uses its ultimate disrespect if you win
