playing your dad in chess

Hikaru takes time out of his busy schedule to play a few friendly blitz games with his adopted son IM Hans Niemann.

Can remember the position, opponents, and date of a random chess game from 2008
Can't subtract 8 from 20

[hoennnoodle]

this seems more like farming simulator than chess

It's funny... 20-8=12 is actually well known theory, I'm surprised he does not remember this line.

That hand-knitted jumper is really selling the dad vibe

[aviksannigrahi]

Amazing.. Hikaru has so many children though he is not married😌

[eltonwang]

Mans 32 but acting like he’s lived for fifty years

How does hikaru remember his opponents entire name, the tournament, the year, and the location, and exact position from something that was 12 years ago...

Dammit, I thought he was actually going to play against his stepdad

[amitparajuli]

reminds me of the old joke..
chat :- it says you are quick at math..so whats 2020-2008
hikaru :- 8
chat :- that's not even close..
hikaru :- i know but i was quick..

Hikaru has so many sons....he is going to go bankrupt paying child support...

5:20 hikaru looked so distraught by notting doing math right lmao

[xcx]

"playing your dad" would be accurate for eric hansen when he plays hikaru ;)

[Chessdrummer]

Calculates chess like a god and messes up 20 minus 8 🤣

Missed checkmate at 10:10 by Naka. After Naka played Kg5, and Hans responded with Ke6, there was Qe8#

[jiemileng]

Me: Clicking video to see who his son is

Also me: Remembering he is not married

[egenDary]

5:14 the saddest I have seen Hikaru, due to counting wrong XD

[umbraunuivis]

"Sorry that I remember a game from 2008!" Damn, wished I had that kind of memory!

[mexicano]

Hans I met him once in a tournament there literally is no better crazyhouse player. In my country it is very popular but he is world class.

"this game was from 2008, so nearly 8 years ago" my mans living in 2016
