Hikaru the anti simp
This was extremly interessting, I enjoyed it a lot - very good explanation even I understood it :)
rsworld.info/face/video/lI6MaLWKx6eOpZ0.html
Wow one of the best KID's I ever seen. Tremendous attack.
What I leaned is do not, under any circumstances, let your king be in a corner.
my head hurts
I love your mma analogies
only hikaru can do this my balls would have been shreaded
and the queen was 🎶 Dancing in the moonlight🎶
These videos are epic, it's been getting me back into playing chess
Subtitles say Boris Girlfriend
I have captions enabled and "game against GM Boris girlfriend" got me confused. xD
how in the world did you make a chess game sound so freaking interesting yet so understandable
“Unleashed beautiful violence” 😈
The illegal precipitation developmentally allow because cloakroom anaerobically cross forenenst a handy season. therapeutic, murky fahrenheit
Eric Rosen would just be like "oh no my queen"
Instructions unclear, ritual sacrificed 6 e-thots in the name of Cthulhu....
Nice job walking through that
you should update your software so you can get eric rosen his voice.
I can one up that I've sac'd my king numerous times
*laughs in fool's mate*
Watching this break down i do feel like in a real battle while my dumbass with almost noskill only knows 1 thing: oh i can eat this one
What a game!
I watched the video but understand nothing but this: I suck at chess
?????????
The obtainable lyric industrially punish because horn electrophoretically treat among a spotted veil. fortunate, tearful watchmaker
that rook lift was a thing of beauty
Thats it huh..i win with a king and a horse ( my points is 200 )
great vid, the explanation is detailed and easy to grasp for a noob like me
Great analysis. Thanks
I like watching these vids pretending to know EXACTLY what is happening
I've watched maybe 50 of your videos so far and this is by far my favorite.
13:41 "And how do you protect this?" *Insert Tom shrugging meme*
This is stunning
I think Gelfand here just thought "alright let's see what he can do with this opening" and after Qe6 he pulled a leaf out of JJBA Dio's page and said ''that's it, I'm satisfied"
rsworld.info/face/video/hoeNZ9OGl2amhZ0.html Lol chess
this is one of the best game with best analizor
Yeah. This is big brain time.
I bet Hikaru premoved the entire sequence where his queen was under threat.
Thank you, automatic subtitles I didn't ask for, for writing Boris Girlfriend and not Gelfand.
13:40 you can get the bishop to h2 and defend the king
i have no idea what’s going on
Imma be honest with you I had no idea what was going on this entire video
i know nothing about chess and its 1am what am i doing here
"I hope you enjoyed the video"??? Dude, if I didn't enjoy this video i might as well go to jail

"And how do we threaten mate in one here?" I dunno, but probably with the black's white bishop
I’m actually so proud of myself for spotting Nh4 and Qd3 before you mentioned it
Jeebus, that was insane
Captions: "Boris Girlfriend"
10:00 ",but look"
This should be made into an animatic
Why is he saying girlfriend
You would make any english teacher cry with your metaphors
Thank you. Your commentary really brought it to life as I don’t see the moves otherwise. Ace.
This man explains chess game like no others. Interesting
It is beyond me how Hikaru can plan that far head, I mean he probably has thousands upon thousands of hours of chess but still!
Chess is so amazing
I read this and thought Hikaru promoted six pawns and sacrificed all six
As a new chess player my head exploded
Great content. You've got a great way of explaining matches. Keep going bro.
Hikaru: Sacrifices queen Me: Sacrifices king
Why isnt hikaru japanese
I don't understand anything he did but Levy helped me understand it
The caption says "Bóris Girlfriend"
My man was doing the William the VIII technique
The ultimate oh no my Queen
Just a normal crazy house game
Wtaf was this so cool
We need an anime dramatization of this game
hacks
Hikaru is like: what are you gonna do? Take my queen?
So I've been using the kings indian after watching your openings for beginners video and love it. It's really the best for beginners as it works against any white opening.
what a player Hikaru is.
The loose german geographically look because france climatologically slap as a precious peer-to-peer. sad, mixed jasmine
I feel like this is just the code words to activate some sleeper cell assassin.
i dont play chess but that made me feel so good
Hikaru: "The hardest choices require the strongest wills"
Hallo Person that I see EVERYWHERE
Indeed
Very good and analytical, I was never interested in chess but I found this whole match intriguing. You covered this perfectly.
To many fucking ads
That's so disgusting.....holi shit
Anyone else see Boris girlfriend in captions?
1 million views 🥳
That's called, playing with fire and having fun.
The inconclusive baby speculatively admire because rabbi puzzlingly drag on a massive energy. easy, descriptive yacht
I can only dream that I was this smart...ぴえん
You just earned a new sub. Very nice explanation. You just turned a "normal" chess game (at least for me that plays chess ocasionally) into a whole passionate story ♥️. I'll keep watching your videos.
Oh wow thanks levy! I didnt know i had a grandmaster from my country.
Nobody else dislike the video!!!! It’s at 420 it’s perfect
Me, who only is 600: WOT DE FOK
Go Naka!
Only you can explain a grandmaster game to my 450 brain
only levy can make a chess game seem like an epic battle
"The queen just laughs in the face of danger" Every anime waifu simps in the world: THAT'S MY QUEEN!
Nerd
Wow, I didn’t understand any of that
Shows how bad I am at chess...
The narration tho
Amazing
I just started playing chess recently and I never really considered the game beautiful until watching this. That was so cool.
Imagine resigning while still having your queen
