[MariaBelenSeyssInquart]

In Argentina we have also the oldest former super GM, Oscar Panno, still active, and with a YouTube channel.

At the rate Faustino is going, he’s going to be one of the best of his generation.

Couldn't stop watching, so good games. Faustino is awesome but Hikaru is legendary.

[carlosalcibiades]

Yes, actually Faustino is getting financial support from a group of businesspeople and the Argentine Chess Federation has hired 5 coaches for him (one to work on openings with black, one to work on openings with white, another for calculation, another for endgames, and another for general stuff, if I'm not wrong).

"Everything's all humpty dumpty" is now in my lexicon.

I believe Hikaru was reaching for "hunky dory".

[RxndomStxff]

22:22
"Wow"
"Wait that's not a wow that's a blunder"
🤣

10 years old and making Hikaru think 🤔 so much..Faust will be the Magnus of his generation. Period.

[joacoccama]

PLS remember this is a match between the second fiercest chess beast in the world against a child who, when Magnus won the world championship, was still wearing a pacifier. Get it!

[LMBrayanAmaya]

Faustino oro is going to be the youngest GM in the world no doubt i give it a year or 2 he is a rising star and hikaru as always doing amazing!

[dkny]

It’s amazing to me how Hikaru catches the move at 05:19 to be a blunder and then immediately calculates his win like 10 steps later. Bc he’s so self deprecating and has a relatable youtuber kind of personality, it’s easy to forget he’s on the genius level with Magnus.

That banging your hear is the editor trying to escape. 😂

[LMBrayanAmaya]

that 2nd game where hikaru played the scandi actually references one of the games he played at the 2010 World Blitz Champinship where he beat GM boris savchenko with Kxe7! Its an iconic hikaru game and legendary! Cool nod to see him still use that line

[jogoselegendas]

11:09 Hikaru plays b4. Immediately I was like “did he just hanged a pawn” but then oh poisoned pawn, if takes knight fork”.
So glad to spot that

[Philopantheon]

Bruhhh, That thumbnail knocked me off the sofa😅

[aminea]

when u watch hikaru all the time u kinda forget how good he is when he calls his play bad all the time

[lluhu]

Faustino is not only a great player, he is also a very funny chess commentator of his own games while playing. Dont miss the chance if you understand spanish.

[nupynups]

Hikaru:" I played really really bad in that game." *wins and gets 90%accuracy

[hernandiaz]

He recently played in a duo with another GM and they won an online tournament, but the elo didn't exceed 2500 and it was like putting 2 foxes in a henhouse. It was crazy to see that players under 2500 had no chance of beating him. The little one is growing a lot and you can see that he has fun playing and the truth is that Hikaru is raising a monster.
