Hikaru Sees It

Hikaru while shaking his head :
"oh no, oh no... this is enough evidence for my viewers to backseat me in the next stream"

[snowbrover]

"She resigned a winning position"
Her with 0.4 seconds left against one of the quickest chess players:👁👄👁

[LeventK]

It could be legendary if she promoted to a bishop

[racebase]

In case anyone was wondering, stockfish says white is +49.8 after that blunder, and in the position where she resigns she actually has mate in 9

Hiki is thinking "oMG we are terrible at chess, we are both horrible at this game"

[bas]

I accidentally paused the video and wondering why he took so long to make a move and then realize how stupid I am

[yelloe_birb]

The way he started shaking his head lmfao

[johnlacombjo]

She saw the queen promote but Hikru did the move so fast with such confidence she give up

[sabhrant]

0:02 is a position where black has a forced checkmate in 3 moves. Rook g2+, King h4, g5, and then rook take h3 mate. However, the move rook g3+ is a blunder and is a forced mate for white in 16 moves or less.

He literally doesn’t care tho chat, he doesn’t care, he actually literally doesn’t care chat

[Ken_neThT]

The wide open eyes like a deer caught in headlights always gets me XD

I love how chess mistakes are called blunders. It sounds so natural but is very specific to the game.

[LeGoofy]

Hikaru looking like me after falling asleep in class and waking up to the most complicated stuff on the board

[opus]

Hikaru: blunders, wins by resignation
Me, an intellectual: blunders, king sacrifice

[robertovillagran]

I think it’s so funny how Hikaru looks like he got shot from the impact of his blunder

[Sonof_DRN]

Hikaru wins even when he makes mistakes. Lol

[_siddhantkhare]

For those who did not understand, Yifan was one move away to promote to a queen at c8 and the diagonal was eyeing at h3 where Hikaru was planning to mate by moving his rook to h2 in the last move. If yifan had promoted, Hikaru wouldve lost a rook probably.

doesnt matter with 0.4 seconds, people act like its unfair when someone loses on time with a better position but actually time is the 17th piece you play with in chess, even classical

[gebbo]

The face he made when he finally realized

I could basically hear Hikaru at the end: "so bad. So bad. I'm so bad at chess. Terrible, just terrible. So bad"

[nerbioldennisdave]

They all think that Hikari was thinking, planning and recalling everything when in reality he is just updating his database
