Imagine thinking you played a move that made Hikaru really think for a minute but then you watch it later and realize he was just talking about ancient history and barely noticing the game.

so glad to see this nakamura fellow progress past the 500 elo mark, its been so amazing to see him grow across the years, maybe one day he will be the next hikaru

I was doubtful if Hikaru could beat a 500, but apparently he has the capabality.

Finally! I’ve been playing chess for years and the 500s always get me
@Phoenix3568 9 months ago

this is actually a really good review about how to punish bad openings. This is definitely something I need a lot of work on

When I listen to Hikaru everything makes so much sense and I see more moves, but when I play it's as if I look at the chessboard under water. 😅😂

Beginner moves pawn forward on turn 5 Hikaru "see this is the problem, he pushes the wrong pawn and now he's gonna lose the game" Me as a 600 rated player "😢"

Hikaru I just wanted to say it was a joy watching you at the chess cup even though I know it didn't go the way you wanted. some very good chess on display

Such a useful video, I love how he talked through every move and gave explanations. Way more valuable than any lesson you can pay for.

I really like this series man. Very informative and inspiring.

Hey hikaru, It would also be helpful if you could tell us what the opponent should be doing to get in proper shape again.

It's insane how Hikaru is single-handedly changing the way the average chess player plays chess, given modern times and the access we have to all of his content and teachings. It's amazing.
