10/24

[GothamChess]

That guy is probably the worst IM in the world

[tahay]

When this man says “blundered” he means getting an excellent instead of a perfect.

[mfbjo]

Hikaru when he loses a pawn: "OH NO I BLUNDERED ROOK D6 OH NOOOO"
Me when blunder my queen on move four: "it's just one of those happy little accidents"

[chrisbarrett]

Hikaru: can analyze a chess board in less than a second.

Also Hikaru: takes 3 tries to count to 7 knights

[prodcdebeatz]

23:55 "I don't want to draw Levy, I wanna beat him down..." Who needs enemies when you got friends like that.

[sora-mjqc]

makes me very happy when a gm calls the knights horses so i don’t feel dumb for accidentally calling them horses

[undinism]

Hikaru: "I wonder what the computer analysis is?"

Computer: "I listen to you for the analysis"

[realjames]

The man is literally making engine moves while eating a god damn burrito.
Legend.

[samuel]

Hikaru: tries 3 times to move the pinned knight
Hikaru: leans in
Hikaru: tries 2 more times to move the knight

[noah-]

Hikaru: He has to be the worst IM I’ve ever heard of
Levy: But you have heard of me

[mitchluscombe]

Hikaru drawing like 10 arrows, doing all the calculations in like half a second and saying "I like it lets do it." kills me

[lustro.tropical]

Future wife: what's your deepest fantasy that I can fulfil for you?
Hikaru: **think about mating with 4 knights**

[csmlegend]

The game where hikaru has no queen starts at 49:30

[pokerandphilosophy]

Oftentimes it looks like Hikaru is giving odds because he has no queen and Levy has a queen. But it's actually Levy who is giving odds because he has no Hikaru and Hikaru has himself. And having a Hikaru is worth at least nine queens.

when you forget your glasses at home and you're trying to read the mcdonalds menu 9:54

[Ivactheseeker]

No IMs were harmed in the making of this video.

[spencerlanman]

Them: I got Hikaru to think!
Hikaru: Eating a burrito

[Ibrahimbigp]

14:20 Love how Hikaru makes a seven out of his six horses. Truly beautiful chess

[SuperGGLOL]

“I consider someone a GM when they force me to concentrate rather than chill and eat a sandwich” - Hikaru says in another video
In this video, Hikaru is eating a burrito. So You know what that means
RIP Gothem..
