having lunged into chess just over a hundred days ago, i am in awe of hikaru nakamura’s skills in classic, rapid, whatever, but i’ll never come close to understanding why anyone would ever spend more than a minute or two of watching him or absolutely anyone stream, twitch or whatever. he’s one of the greatest players ever. that said, watching anyone nodding their head to nondescript downtempo techno or whatever & just spewing … ok, his attempt to sing just made me realize my life is better without this…

[aahrii]

Hikaru as homelander is the scariest yet most fitting thing i have seen all year lmao

[piethrower]

Your editor deserves a raise. That intro was fire.

I'm already looking forward to seeing him beat GMs with the bongcloud when he reaches 3000 elo

I love these speedruns Always 10/10 and esp hilarious when you get to high ratings

7:05 "let's play the bongcloud and have fun, not talk about the finances"
Nailed it, I've tried numerous times but I simply can't watch the old series because I can't stand finance talk.
This is PERFECT, looking forward to a great time in this new series.

I like that Hikky keeps the speedrun timer, most content creators just use "speedrun" to make smurfing content. He actually tries to win fast.

[karrawr]

Intro hits just as hard as the previous speedrun

[billjones]

“That’s a beautiful checkmate isn’t it” yes. Yes it was. WOW

[Koce]

Sounds in the beginning got me thinking Hikaru is playing ping pong

[josephelmer]

I came here to unwind, watch some chess from the best, and stay away from any drama. I really appreciate you staying a way from politics and giving me that experience. you're a world class streamer and obviously world class chess player, thank you gm Hikaru!

Never have I been so excited for chess. Hearing this intro was what led me to get into chess in the first place, legendary

[MADXBLU]

[TactfulWaggle]

Seeing that intro again made me so happy, it is quite nostalgic

[harryWadey-wp]

[skinmom]

YO MY CHAT COMMENT MADE IT INTO A HIKARU VIDEO AS THE INTRO LETS

[TherdGamer]

That intro alone sets you apart from most other content creators in the chess world. Great work!

[TheRox]

Holy shit he called him Hamas-Abi hahaha

[Swaggyswisscheez]

The last guy you played was a new account. he lost 140 elo so youve set him back so much 😭
