How Wesley Helped Hikaru Become World Champion? 

And he's the former champion. No huge ego for helping others.

Also I think Wesley and Hikaru may just be friends

He is indeed ❤

I don't know, it's just a passive trait at this point to us Filipinos.

He is - arguably the nicest top 30 chess player in the game

He is also an American

@@ankitm7624 Citizen, what I was talking about was his ethnicity.

The majority of the players there were alone, hikaru mentioned that on his interview on his stream.

@@kingamla779 not true Magnus, Nepo, Abdussaturov, Icelandic guy, fedosseev too probably and thats majority with the coach/second

he has chat

Two brains especially in opening preparation is better than one. Having second opinion from another GM is still the best

Hikaru has beads vibrating from the ceiling

whats more wholesome was hans in the background with the anal beads

“World Champion”, Just sayin 😅.

I think Wesley was Feeling some Queen's Gambit vibes............

@@TooManyChoices1 oh sorry!! Now edited, thanks for correcting 😁

wesley so is a filipino but he conerted nationality because of lack of support in ph government

Even better because I am also Filipino who graduated high school in Manila and live in the U.S. 🇵🇭

it's not just an assist. 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!! it's an actual PREDICTION.

@@baronlane992 look at my video about pichay 'Re-elected corrupt chess president Pichay had lied,using future 9LX world champion Wesley So's name.'. in 2018 or 2017 pichay said 'Because of my leadership in NCFP, a Filipino is now number 2 in the world in chess. His name is Wesley So.' disgusting yet even though pichay was sentenced to prison in june 2022, pichay got re-elected as NCFP president in july 2022, around the same time arkady got re-elected

See my videos about Carissa Yip. The reason why Wesley is just so-so is because of a secret relationship with Carissa Yip I think. But without pressure maybe Wesley is doing pretty good. Look at 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!! (Wesley) Sooooo Wesley seems to be able to think well when not really under the pressure of battling teenagers in st louis 9LX (alireza), us champs (christopher yoo, hans niemann) and FIDE FRC (nodirbek). Lol.

He just beat Hikaru in the cgc so I think he found his form

@@YukiFR ah yeah the cgc 2022 kinda ruins my theory that wesley is distracted for 2022 st louis, 2022 us chess and 2022 WC because of a secret relationship with carissa yip (see my vids). but eh could still be possible: carissa says 'get 200,000 or we're done' XD

Besides class, there's extreme talent and synergy. Look at 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!!

@@kawtskagid1198 lol I suppose you want the next WC as ULTRABULLET OTB? LOL

@@nicbentulan Who would want something that dumb? I don't even see bullet as real chess. I'll take a good classically trained GM over a bullet player any day. I don't play bullet at the chess club, and I don't know one else who does either. A game centered on mouselips and 1-2 move tactics doesn't hold my interest for long. But...keep living your best life chief...

@@AlexanderNevermind888 that's the point? Reductio ad absurdum?

ok but seriously wesley did recognise something. see 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!!

Wesley got paid with a pineapple.

it's not just helping BUT REALLY PREDICTING. see at 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!!

look at 1:00 and you'll see it's more than just passing. WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!! i'd this was like a coronation than a mere succession. it's incredible how they did that without engines in 5 minutes.

@@nicbentulan it was kinda obvious) Naka needs to activate light pieces and open the board. He clearly loose debut cause Nepo was ready, cause there wasn't much variety..and they are superGMs for a reason)

@@jurybounackoff3025 Really? What's wrong for example with Nf3 and Nf6 in the 1st 3 moves? Sure you can predict b3 etc will happen but really like 1st 3 moves even if not in order and all pawn moves ? A superGM is not an engine. Usain Bolt can never compete with a Ferrari, to use Garry's analogy (in lex fridman podcast).

not just what a class act sportsperson wesley is but look at how talented wesley is after 3 years at 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!!

you need a bigger word than wingman. look at 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!! a wingman makes suggestions. a prophet makes predictions.

Best comment here 🤣

@@michaelscott5653 Can I propose a better comment? But Wesley told Hikaru what would be the 1st 3 moves. See 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!!

But Wesley told Hikaru what would be the 1st 3 moves. See 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!!

Can confirm. I'm mod r/chess960. I met Wesley So in 2012 Feb. Very nice humble etc Btw mod did you notice 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!?!?!????

@@nicbentulan Nice that you spotted that, I didnt 😀.

@@MickThal p.s. check out my vids. i made a vid on the prediction. side by side comparison with the prep and the actual game. it's insane right?

Lol, you hilarious bro 😂

For the sake of winning money he should ware house Lannister

Does it still count as a spoiler in 2022 given how popular GoT was in 2010s?

Besides class, there's extreme talent and synergy. Look at 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!!

do you know Gasai just how immortal they are? see 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!!

Hikaru is Japanese.

1 yeah maybe but this was 25 min rapid. hikaru is pretty good at 25 min rapid. wesley not really as we see in st louis. hikaru's creativity i think is suited for 25 min rapid 9LX. is hikaru's creativity suited for classical 9LX? or even the 45 min rapid as we saw in the 2019 FIDE 9LX WC where hikaru did lose to fabi (but well hikaru did beat wesley who got back in just by repechage LOL) soooo? 2 did you know Gasai hikaru won st louis 2020 9LX but was only 9th place in st louis 2021 9LX? i didn't notice before. i noticed just now after hikaru won. i was checking out hikaru's standings. what do you think of that? 3 did you notice that at 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!! !?!?!?!?!?!

respect for not just class but talent and synergy see 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!!

@@nicbentulan yea🔥↗️

@@keshavsewak5458 update: i don't think it's in this chessc*m stream but i'm double checking the chess24 stream insane i think they ACTUALLY PREDICTED 1ST 4 OR EVEN 5 MOVES this is insane right?

@@nicbentulan that's insane but these gms have way more experience than us so ig they could predict some moves

@@keshavsewak5458 indeed indeed.

Didn't? The eval is 0.7. Insane how they figured this out without any engines see that in 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!!

I stand corrected, I still feel the title is a bit deceptive as the game is merely starting and it was Hikaru amazing resilience to keep the imbalance in a must win but Wes is one of the nicest GMs ive met so he deserves plenty praise but kudos to him and the boys repping the U.S. in Iceland

ALSO sooooo talented. did you notice 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!?!??!

Yes exactly. It shows Wesley beat Magnus really on talent last time instead of playing a million 9LX games. How talented? See 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!! Insane right?!?!!

Exactly! 5min only but look did you notice 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!?!??!

They are. It was discussed on r/hikarunakamura and r/chess960 a few weeks ago. More importantly, See 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!?!?

Ok since you're here I figured I'd share this fun fact. See 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!! Check out the game yourself they play 1st 3 moves each and it's exactly this position

They have started to learn? See 1:00 WESLEY AND HIKARU PREDICT THE 1ST 3 MOVES OF THE GAME!!?!?!! Is that insane or what?!?!

@@nicbentulan it really is. They are on another level.

@@kingsolo6241 update: i don't think it's in this chessc*m stream but i'm double checking the chess24 stream insane i think they ACTUALLY PREDICTED 1ST 4 OR EVEN 5 MOVES. that's total insanity right? have you heard of people predicting up to FIVE moves in a chess960 game before now?

@@kingsolo6241 wait did you see this initially yourself? or just from me? also come to r/chess960 ? :D
