Masi Oka (Heroes) on xQc and Twitch 

Xqc has a talent of missing a mate in 1 but planning 5 steps ahead Lmao

More Masi and Hikaru please. You guys got great chemistry! Keep up the great work.

GMHikaru: "Is there any opening you want me to play?" Me: It would have been classic if Masi said Bongcloud.

Man I kind of like this interview format. Chess + bantering about life. Great combo.

Happy to see this. I knew about chess before but never actually got to play much. But I'm decently okay at impromptu strategy so I learned the pieces and movement really fast with no direction. On top of that, I have a dissociative personality disorder so over time I've seen chess as hopeless for me until now. I watched your video with Bjerg and took as many mental notes as I could from both of your play and all of your tips for him. Fast forward to today, I'm so happy playing out moves and my head and hearing you tell him that was correct/a better move affirming that I really AM making at least a little ground. Really fun and I love both of you guys' chemistry a ton thanks sm. I guess in the end I should also say, what stuck with me most from the Berg video is how you talked about material management, but above all else, pawns. I'm heavily a pawn economist and I love playing with and around them and the concept of pressuring an extra queen . I owe you an infinite amount man. Heres to more!

25:00 Wow that's crazy, that would never happen (in chess) _Hikaru pretending to forget the time people were analyzing him eating a salad on SCC Bullet_

Thank you hikaru, you have really been a new friend through these dark times. I'm terrible at chess, but you really do make it cool. In years past id watch magnus content and I left and haven't come back for maybe 5 years.

This was one of the most interesting streams to watch. Great conversation, I learned a lot about chess history, Shogi, and Japanese culture. It's also nice to see move discussions at a higher level than pogchamps. I hope you invite Masi on again in the future.

26:16 “No, There’s no seppuku chat” ...I died

Omg I didn’t know Max Bergman plays chess :)

This is how your and Levi's podcast should be, such a chill format with a nice conversation while playing chess

I love your intro song! It's in my head all day long...

Wow, chess is really getting popular. I cant wait to see what chess is going to be like in a few years. 😃

the vibes are so excellent in this interview

Wow I like hearing you talk with Mr Oka. Hopefully there are more down the line

This guy is so wholesome I love it

GMHikaru let him borrow your ceiling

I thought my eyes played me, when I saw Hiro Nakamura on your thumbnail. I always think of him when seeing you play, but I did not knew that I need this

Wow he looks exactly the same as he did in heroes first episode

Its the time travelling guy! Been a while since i watched Heroes

This guy has potential to be a "Twitch Hero" if he decides to stream 🤯

THIS IS SO FUCKING WHOLESOME!

This video is real good!

Usually don't try to played Hikaru when he eats salads

He is the freaking producer for attack on titan live adaptation.

I am scared when xQc gets 3000 soon.

OMG, it's Hiro Nakamura!

Hikaru please make a video about the shameful and unprofessional act of tata steel 2021 arbiters towards Alireza Firouzja in the final round. These things should not happen in one of the most important chess events. Soo unprofessional. I think super elite chess players such as yourself should react to these unfortunate things happening at the top chess level events so we don’t see these happening again. Thank you 🙏🏻

Hiro needs to be on PogChamps!

best guest ever

Nice headphones !

I wanna see Hikaru stream some Shogi!

HIRO NAKAMURA MEETS WITH HIKARU NAKAMURA

Hiro playing chess!!!!!!!!!! WHAAAAAAAA

What a nice conversation

Oh man two Nakamuras

Yogurt story is about Karpov - Korchnoi Bagio 1978 match

toshi from the meg! 😁

Can you tell me on which platform, internet side i can find full heroes series ? I watched it when i was younger and loved it.

I also found Xqc because of hikaru XD and already knew hafu because of chilled and Ze I feel like both of them would have very high potential when it comes to chess as a whole Chilled and Ze are usually the big brains of the group

my new 2 favorite anime characters

“Are there still novelty openings?” Well one comes to mind...

I can't find anything about a recent shogi cheater, but apparently Hiroyuki Miura was disqualified from a tournament in 2016. They later cleared him of charges, and 3 members of the Japanese shogi board had to resign.

Shogi is very different from Crazyhouse and Bughouse actually. There are a lot of different rules in Shogi, especially the way pieces promote by choice and with pawns only being allowed to move and take forwards, special rules for knight movements etc. Honestly, chess com lacks a good Shogi variant.

He is right about the mods. Look at 4Chan or wallstreetbets to see what the atmosphere could be like. I was watching a Pokemon stream, Im 26 btw, and there were only a couple kids watching and interacting in the chat, but the mods were very active and protective of these young kids passing through the channel. Its a big deal

damn we early

Love ya

hikaru nakamura and hiro nakamura

Hikaru is SUCH a likeable person, he's probably the most influential person to chess in CENTURYS he's done so much for the game and got so many new players to the game. The chess world should be more grateful towards him.

Omg it’s super Hiro
