My Problem with Hikaru Nakamura. 

?

Pin of hate

I can only imagine what it's like to have such dumb opinions.

Get ready to receive a shit ton of hate on your comment mate, not a good idea...

Pin of cringe

now we all know

There's so many comments, that whoever is managing the chessbrah channel right now won't notice my suggestion to pin your comment.

Brave, powerful. Good job, man.

But who tf asked? Edit:I'm jk

There's like 20 comments

Well me neither so we got one thing in common I guess

It is just a game. Maybe he was feeling cheeky and wanted to play around a bit longer.

Lol. That meme will never die

The only reason why someone would do that is if they cared

And hes right. Its a chess game someone wins someone loses. All this blind hate is crazy. Hikaru has a personality therefore hes bad lol people hate him cuz they cant beat him.

This. Hikaru never wants the date to end. It's the highlight of his week.

Super nice guy

I forgot about that reward lol

@@ferasehsouna148 award, not reward. Big difference.

@@ferasehsouna148 I forgot that reward existed also

in terms of chess maybe but in terms of respect, magnus is not that better

Bruh Magnus can be even more a-holey and unprofessional than all the super GMs wdym ☠️ L take

More like had. Hikaru's record against Magnus over 2022-2023 is 29 to 24

Magnus is the same shit with 10% more charisma

@@daemonsoadfan Doesn't like every top chess player have a "Hikaru story"? Many people also know of Hikaru from before he became a streamer.

Actually true you opened my eyes tanks man

You’re actually smart

yeah there’s been constant clickbait like drama in titles and in videos with Hikaru/levy/botez between all 3 I’m pretty sure this is just some of that edit: just realized that this title exactly has been used by botez iirc

Nah his a narcissist thats how they behave. Just happens to be a bonus that it's 'good' content. You ever thought why hardly no super GM is a streamer in his way because his a narcissist he loves the attention and status that's all narcissists care about.

@@darrylkassle361 people dont tell you many jokes huh

You’re spot on. I came in during the initial chess boom, but slightly later than most during it. I had seen snippets or heard about flagging situations etc., but when done against him it’d be hypocritical. I’m not a psychiatrist, but I think Hikaru has some Asperger like qualities. I recognize it because I have some slight ones at times too I feel like.

He’s never changed.

You said "was" thoroughly disliked - this is still very much true

​@@IkEisawesome7 he has a lot of followers that don't know his history. And I guess they laugh at this kind of nonsense

As a new chess fan, I can see it from a mile a way. Don't like the guy.

If the strategy is over multiple games and this game can fatigue your opponent even if it ends in a tie… is a GOOD STRATEGY. He doesn’t have to have sportsmanship lmao, it’s appreciated but it’s not anywhere in the rules. If Hikaru wants to play it out cuz he knows he’s a better chess player and can try to force us opponent into mistakes. That’s just smart to me

​@@adriandurlej9266 which mistake? It's an opposite clor bishop endgame. As you saw they could premove dozens of move without it changing anything

The biggest insult was that there's increment. If there was no increment you could at least understand why he was being a disrespectful, shameless cunt like he was here, bc he could get rating from a win since there's a legitimate chance of a flag. And a draw with lower rated player hurts him. But here it was just unnecessary

Hikaru know its draw but just jokes around for stream lol

Lmao that's how he beat magnus in the blitz championship XD

In that case Hansen is the ex, he is so obsessed with him

@@Ignacio-is6tg Somebody give this desperate child the attention his mum won't even bother tossing his way

@@DerickMasai here comes another troll...do u know that u literally turned into a thing that u most hated?

@@Ignacio-is6tg Hansen casually plays a game of chess and Hikaru goes out of his way to waste Hansens time, something Hikaru complains about NON STOP on stream during games when others do anything even a fraction as bad as this. He's a manbaby

@@apollojenkins4046 I can agree with hikaru being a manbaby but lets not act like Hansen is a saint either. bro milks the hikaru is a bad guy/child content a shit ton and meanwhile on hikarus youtube you see jack about hansen. equally as childish tbh. You wanna be the bigger person then dont retaliate lol both are childish

No chess player is.. that's why it's a horrible game to waste time playing lol. Morphy new it was cringe and a waste of life in the 1800s

​@Devil 2 things, 1. I have no problem with you not liking/enjoying chess, but im genuinely curious why you watch this channel then. 2. Its knew not new, sorry to be the spelling police

@@OArchivesX Magnus surely an exception. Seems genuinely very down to earth and humorous in conversation

@@chalesbergca3754 what are you talking about??!! Magnus is even way more toxic than Hikaru. Just because he is more charismatic you guys would talk it from him as a humor

@@hasanalomar9632 lol wth are you talking about?

So petty

Not prideful just childish and petty

​@@r2in360 believe it or not he had a girlfriend previously 😅😂...I am personally friends with a WFM and she told me some stuff about Hiki which sounds rough 😒

@@Omar_Merican I want details, lol!

Oh no being prideful is so bad!

Do therapy and do activities in community, you’ll probably won’t. Don’t live only for personal/competitive goals. You probably won’t petty as Hikaru or me lmao

As a 35 year old, this comment makes me feel like a senior citizen

@@spyroninja 😂😂😂 LMFAO I'm 27 turning 28 this year and this comment is a dub.

"Hikaru STILL acts like such a child," and " I don't become so petty when I'm as old as Hikaru is." - logically inconsistent, unless you age backwards like that Sci-Fi character.

@@raylopez99 failed logic flex? Obviously you can still ACT like a child even though you are old

I would have said that but you already did lol

Have you see this guys comment section? I think Dr. Disrespect is winning. 😂

Those kinda videos are just an excuse so he can label his toxic behaviour.

Calling playing Chess toxic in any form is the funniest thing I’ve seen. Thank God I’m not a perpetually online zoomer. These comments are wild. It’s a game. We’re spectators. It’s entertaining. Get a life if you think anything beyond poisoning someones tea is “toxic”.

@@gianni_schicchi All right grandpa

Will smith says no

I think his fans like his chess skill. they already know he is a bad person

@@mortalkombaty7960 they don't. You'll often find them defending him

@@clintoruss153 I'm not advocating cancel culture, but that's cap for sure. He lost some deals, but he will be back in block buster films before you know it

Chesswise Hikaru is a savant, but his behavior and demeanor is often annoying. Used to enjoy watching him but lately I find it intolerable.

you watched until the end and learned something! thank you :)

Yes...the Hikaru Nakamura Sportsmanship Award 😉

that was the most obvious banter between him and Levy/botez lmao

Trolling banter really goes over some of yalls heads OML god forbid there be actual context for that clip 😂😂

You clearly have bad intentions with this comment. That was a clear troll. Even if it wasn't, I never really get upset with someone for telling the truth. How can you

I literally dont even care.

@@planetina5616 He doesnt say it like it's banter, that's the issue

How do u know him in real life?? And how tf do u call a game childish? He isn't breaking rackets on the court like emotional douchebags

True, it s part of the game after all

Bro, he’s not a data scientist… get over it.

just hate for no reason lol

Have you not been in the internet before?😂

Jelly

Pretentious 1200s love his ass

Bush league, honestly

If Hikaru had a realistic chance of flagging Eric in a drawn position, it would be fair game. Instead, Eric was the only one with that opportunity here.

@@synchronium24 it’s increment. There is zero chance to flag.

@@sanitary103if the position is complex/has enough life even if it’s a draw you can flag for sure, but obviously this wasn’t one of those positions

@@drew9851 Yep but this was an easy draw even i could hold this against any chess player in the world just premove the king or the bishop on a long diagonal. You have to think hard to fuck this position up

Only chessbrah community seems to have so many haters. It’s chess big deal playing to 50 moves?

damn what a horrible human he likes more money....

@@trumporbiden2024clips Illiterate. Guy clearly said "only likes more money" not "he likes more money". Please learn to read and come back to the channel.

@@trumporbiden2024clips having money as your main focus in life is a bad path unless you're really struggling. Hikaru is very well off but seems to be self centered and care about very little aside from money.

@@trumporbiden2024clips yeah basically

I think his editor manage the yt channel

tells you a lot about both Hikaru and his step father. Seems like Hikaru was allowed to grow up without being held unaccountable. Makes sense considering Hikaru's current behavior

And then you actually look the story up and see that you twisted facts and don't take into account that Akeem was provoking him with a ball to piss Hikaru off. But since you are probably a 400elo Levy fanboy, you likely assumed noone would eventually look it up. And to add on this... he was TWELVE at the time and you judge him about it, lmao... 99% of people probably done worse shit than Hikaru at that age. It just shows Hikaru isn't as bad of a guy as you clowns want him to be if you need to dig around in his childhood to find some stupid "gotcha" moment. Hikaru is a bad loser. So what ? Most people are. They are all here for the money. People don't (try) become chess masters for the fun of it. Levy, Botez, Hikaru etc etc are all here because it makes them bank.

That Akeem kid is a thug and a bully. He bullied Hikaru. Hikaru slapped him because he was done being bullied. Did you know that thug Akeem is in prison and that he threw boiled water over a guard? Tells you a lot about a thug like Akeem.

He is engaged, no?

Hikaru may be an asshole at times, but he's OUR asshole.

Can taste the salt

The amount he actually cares goes up exponentially for every time he adds "literally".

Evgeny Bardyuzha - Sooner or Later

What is ICC? Would like to know what he did to get the hate? Usual Hikaru behavior or something more.

Microscopic PP energy, ngl

a man's body? 4 inches 4 feet?

I get what you're saying and Hikaru really is quite immature and cocky. But uh he reached # 2 in classical chess in the world during his peak, is a 5 time US Champion and the 10th highest rated player in history. He might be considered the best short form chess players of all time, especially bullet. He just beat Magnus in the Chessable Masters Champions Chess tour and won the American Cup. He also won't improve much more because he is already getting "too old." It's kinda hard to make the argument here that the player who throws tantrums is not going to be as good as the calm and professional one

​@@Ian-iy7sl hope he sees this bro

@@Ian-iy7sl Hikaru is not the best short-form player. There is no argument for it lol. He is only competitive for #1 ONLINE short-form player. Magnus' resume blows him out of the water overall. Btw, Hikaru isn't going to have sex with you.

@@fangiscool1 literally called him immature, cocky, and that he throws tantrums. Couldn't care any less for him. He's objectively a queer. But the guy was comparing Eric to Hikaru and sucking off Eric far harder than I was Hikaru

@@michae976 me too

It’s funny that’s all

Hikaru knew it was impossible to flag that position, because Eric can do all the premoves he wants without risking anything, he just wanted to annoy Eric. Hikaru behaves like a kid.

@@Bruno08931 "Hikaru knew it was impossible to flag that position" Exactly. If Hikaru had a realistic chance of flagging Eric, that would actually make his behavior better.

Bout time for a rematch

this is just crazy enough to work. FIGHT CLUB!!!!
