“Big shout out to the script writers” killed me 😂

“Big shout out to the script writers”


Kramnik: *heavy breathing*

[kieranczyzniejewski]

Honestly even though Hikaru drew and Gukesh won, today was pretty optimal for Hikaru. He got a quick draw and got a few extra hours to prepare for tomorrow. Gukesh had to play a long tiring game and that might affect his play tomorrow, even if it is by just a little.

Hikaru has to play insane tomorrow. A draw is no different than a loss

0:18 - A big shout out to the script writers 😂
1:09 - Prag Non Hahahaha 🤣🤣

[PlyrMava.]

This is why I've been a fan of yours since '07. You make the game exciting.

It would be great to see you win and to become champion before you retire from professional chess, but regardless of the outcome tomorrow you are the man. I hope you win, and make the youngsters wait just a while longer for their shot. Good luck, Hikaru!

i really like hikaru's recaps, especially when he throws in little jokes! (The "Praggnand ha ha ha ha" one was really funny)

[Reverend_insanity.]

Tomorrow, Hikaru vs the final boss☠️💀

As a new chess fan in "old age" and I am definetely rooting for you Hika!
This is the first candidates tournament I ever watched and boy I enjoyed the live streams as much as I loved your recaps. Keep up your positive nature and your dedication as a content creator. And if you do not win - f*** it, I will stay tuned 🍿

[mr.hubris]

This dude is AWESOME! He’s playing in the candidates and making YU content

[superbowlman]

This is my first tournament following! You got this!! I never knew chess was so alive and hype...

[AlissonSilva-oxuz]

"Praggnadhahahaha" will never fail to end me

[stallion]

Your attitude, perspective, and outlook have been so great this tournament. Best of luck tomorrow!

[MagicMushroom]

You were never in such a good position in the Candidates as you are right now. It's amazing. I am rooting hard for you tomorrow. Good luck, Hikaru!

[OmateYayami]

It's very nice to see Hikaru pretty relaxed and pressure not affecting him for the final round. People are saying he didn't care but to me it's clear as a sunny afternoon that in the 1st half of tournament when he fudged up the aura of recaps was vastly different. It's very nice to see him feeling the positive momentum and with a real chance for the final success.

[bestkazekage]

Nepo got the lead early on and then started playing for draws thinking he’ll be comfortable at the top. That’s coming back to bite him.

[JeffPHamm]

Absolutely over the moon with how great the games are in the candidates. A bit Thank You to you, and all the players, for doing such a great job. While I'm hoping to see you make it to first, I think chess will benefit no matter who the day tips to, as it already has done by these outstanding performances.

[Colby_-_IRL_and_title_fights]

The fact he didn't play the bong cloud on 4/20 proves he literally does care and is not playing for the content

[Don-evov]

Rooting for you. New to the online chess world, I was surprised a GM would have a YouTube channel. It is very cool to listen to your analysis.

[alexpoepke]

This is the first time I’m watching candidates and you are making it awesome!!! Good luck!!
