That thumbnail was unnecessary. It is astonishing how mean people can be. Just for some clicks some people do not think about what an image or a word can do to another fellow human being. The "social" media sometimes are not that "social", but sometimes they do reveal parts of the true character.
Hikaru *scratches his balls* An adderalled out IM who meditated this morning *hyper calculates and makes his next move* Hikaru: “and this position is just winning” *makes 6 pre moves*
Hikaru's mods changed his profile pic to his santa emote around Christmas and they just never changed it back. Hikaru's probably not even aware of it. -- the editor
Watching on YT is always far more entertaining because Hikaru looks mentally unwell when he just randomly starts blurting out song choruses on top of copyright free non-lyrics music
I don't think it's that the pairings are broken, but the system will try to pair you with someone of near rating, but if no one is available due to being in a match within a period of time, it will just pair you with the best available option.
Calling a 1000 rated player "not a real player" is a little insulting, especially since they're probably watching. I get that it's not what Hikaru meant but that's how it sounded.
@@chrisatkeson4638 it was pretty obvious watch the reaction from hikaru on it it was an very complicated position and Hans evaluated a slightly worse position as completely winning without seeing a winning move order that is a bit weird
@@chrollolucifer37564 have you seen Fabiano caruana’s take on it? Also I don’t think Hikaru is suspicious of Han’s play. Do you have a link to a video?
Each player has 3 minutes so 6 total but the arena time left was less than 3 minutes so Hans can just not play any moves (stall) in the game against Hikaru as the game will be aborted when the arena clock runs out
SINCE rating brackets are in increments of 400 performance rating points, if Levy were to keep scoring 9/10 in tnmts like he just played, ie., with the avg ELO of 2230, then a perfect score of 10/10 would give him a performance rating for that tnmnt of ELO 2630. Even getting just 9/10 would give him (9/10) x 400 or 360 performance rating points or 2590. IF he were to keep doing this, he would get his ELO over 2500 easily without ever having to play in GM dominated tnmts. This if he makes the norms, he would have the rating to qualify as GM as well
He has crazy speed in general but this one is too obvious because when he made that move he already had in mind that his oppononent cannot move knight from there
@@Mj-kl3rb Facts, I thought it was wild that he even attempted to go for the scholars mate then I saw the rating and was like, I'm not surprised how any of this went lol
Hikaru's issue with hans is hans proclaiming himself first american WCC without actually having any accolades to back that claim up despite fabiano and hikaru literally existing as reps of the country. Basically imagine a guy with masters saying his research is better than the guy with PhD
Lmao, Hans “The Beads” Niemann, the most inconsistent player when it comes to playing against super GMs. Definitely using beads, most of his plays against super GMs, the chess doesn’t speak for itself. Even Levy plays more consistent games than the beads.
@@chrisatkeson4638 I’m not and I don’t pretend to be, but that doesn’t change the fact that Hans “The Beads” Niemann is highly inconsistent against high ranked GMs, while most GMs are very consistent, Levy an IM is consistent. And chess is but one of many strategy games :) He’d beat me in Chess but I’d destroy both of you in Go, with blindfolds on lol.
@@Maxtor-ve5nu It's not that. His performance overall, keeps fluctuating when playing with players that are supposedly on "the same level." Every time he plays certain high ranked players suddenly his performance drop. Now and again he'd get a win then suddenly drop back down. No consistency of being able to challenge the same player. Like???? and it's not like he's changing his strategy each time.
