No need to be worried about the first game going on for too long. It was actually really fascinating. Maybe even my favorite of playing the bots.

1:33 including GM "Hikaru Nakamura" 😂 lmao he broke the 4th wall

[fullmuppet]

Don't apologise about that first game - it was great to watch.

[sayakdipdas]

Hikaru is really like a little kid in Arcade center. One last game...

[HeartFallsApart]

Thanks Hikaru, I thought I was just getting over my Mittens nightmares, now I'll have to tell my therapist about Sinta.

[Shortskeez]

He was apologizing for the length of the video a lot but honestly I just loved hearing how his mind works while he’s playing lol

[JonathanBurks-hh]

I liked the first game I could tell that you were really into the game, and it made me more into it as well.

[andrewmoonbeam]

For someone with the attention span of a gnat, I found the games enthralling, and dare I say it, instructive.

Hikaru needs more confidence. I can't describe it. Dude is handsome, smart, talented, and well-spoken. He just seems very worried about what other people think. Personally, I think everyone is here to learn how he thinks. Don't worry if a game is last too long or how it comes off. You may know more about your algorithm and how to keep viewers, but from my perspective, whatever you do, I'm staying, even for an hour long game. I just want him to know this so he knows some people don't care about all that, and he can absolutely take time and feel confident in his decisions

2:48 big black center caught me off guard lol

[truthandlove]

18:40 dude the fact you can call out a draw and say "I think I was winning" and realized you messed it up was crazy! I was following your moves with a computer and your analysis was absolutely fascinating. I hope you analyzed this game after sir 😄 that decision between moving the rook for a check or moving the king to d6 before the check was the deciding factor. Amazing work 👍

[kaidengomez]

Santa better put you on the naughty list for making me stay up another hour to watch a great video instead of getting sleep.

[shinaka]

Thank Hikaru i learned so much out of this video ^^ Always nice to see your thinking process. It's very instructive to see you play against bots

[dbturbonub]

That 1st game was DEEEEP!! Killer cool to watch!
I'm still prayin you start doing live commentary on big tournaments, and still keep recaps going on here.

[sammyfit]

21:14 no one is talking about how he is looking away and still positioning his mouse to the exact squares he’s calling out. So sick 😮

[kartoffelminee]

No beard hikaru looks so different, like its a completly different person.

[rickestofthericks]

I actually enjoyed this struggle in depth

[kalebmeeks]

Watching Hikaru map out moves while looking away from the monitor always blows my mind. He draws 40 arrows and red squares while looking at the ceiling. Crazy…

45:55 best reaction after beating an 2800 bot

[fraye]

This was actually a fun video, I’m a chess noob but I was learning a little when listening you explain your moves. I personally like this long format video.
