this long diagonal will lead to a lot of pain and suffering. sounds like my life haha
why all that extra clicking of the mouse
"When in doubt, suck the Queen" – Hikary knows his ways with ladies
21:44 I think I'll have some fun, that guy only 2459 rating, lol talking about 2300+ rating like it's total garbage and I'm 1300 rating , rip for me
17:40 Instead of g2, Rxc2+ Kxc2 Bxg1 Rxg1 Qc5+ -+
why does he double clicks after every move…carlsen does the same
If you take a shot every time he says "what am I doing" or "I've gotta move fast" you'll have alcohol poisoning by the end.
Paul Keres!
10:55 – Nakamura using my dear Zuke? Made my day 🙂
How does he plan ahead his moves, like what buttons?
Nakamura, you're such an incredible player.
29:40 the mic is too close to the mouse… INDEED. Pretty annoying if you ask my ears ^^
19:34 queen f7 that is mate
man you straight up shoulda forfeit to that 1393 player, you deserved to lose that one lmao (also you would give that guy the best day of his life and the greatest bragging rights ever)
28:50 Bg1??? (R+ Kh1 R<Z) LOL
1:41:42 – anyone has a clue as to why sack the exchange? Unless I'm missing something he could've kept his rook
16:44 hi hikaru. you're playing a 1393. Do you never watch yout opponent's rating?
35:45 hikaru vs hikarus fan
17:48 take the pawn on f2 with the rook
and after take the queen
This is not the reason I clicked the video…
when u gonna quit sandbagging and whoop carlsen? 🙂
What the hell is wrong with his mouse clicking. It’s annoying asf
how is he able to draw those line on the board?
Streak 24 😂 i even can't do it for only 3 streak 😂
1:21:58 Naka dont see mate with Q h4 ))) Hikaru Nakamura the best
cmon Hikaru how are u rated 3000+ but cant tell that a sword w a gun would clearly beat a gun w a sword
Love Naka but him speaking in third person is cringe lol. 16:46 the dread of possibly losing to a 1300 player.
RolloOrollo, Sweetheart, you are going to kick yourself for all eternity for missing Qxd5+ 16.47.
Games starts and Nakamura won't answer the door even though it's just kids trying to get some candy on Halloween. That opening was called "Check or treat", I believe.
how can we do the arrows and choose the move before it is his turn???
Ah yes.. just a 20 game winning streak… I'm used to that too, so much so I dont even mention it.
8:16 what's stopping Hikaru from taking bishop on D7?
'Nakamura Goes Streaking' can have more than one meaning, y'know.
I was just thinking they could do keyboard control, like press a letter from asdfghij and a number 12345678… and that would select a square, and then another pair and that would mean move the piece on the first square to the second. I think once you got used to it it would be a lot faster than the mouse.
What is he doing with the mouse? Why is he double clicking so hard to place a piece?
offering a draw for no good reason makes you look like a wimp
hikaru is still wondering the meaning of that bishop h6
1:19:41 when you see your opponent has that pon structure you know something has gone wrong
27:20 why did he not take the bishop on a4?
16:53 'omg ! I just hanged d5 I would have just lost the game right there !'
Me (having no clue): hmm, so you call this game: chess? =)
Why does his mouse make that annoying click sound. Drives me crazy
I had a streak once in a chess tourney irl. It wasn't well-received.
What's next, the "Sweet Transvestite Transexual from Transylvania" Opening?
hikaru starts talking
5 Minutes laterHikaru: blah blah blah
What has happened to your face
What is that double clicking though?
Chess is more important than Halloween
So, just to clarify, runs 26 wins in a row against very strong players, I noticed many of them were in the 2400-2600+ range, while half the time talking about things like maybe going to Antartica. Insane.
3:10 kids in my neighborhood they write your address down next year your house gets egged
Bravo
