5:30 Kudos to Andreikin for letting Magnus play out that _gourgeous_ combination to the checkmate!

[inciaradible]

I really like how your recaps always include really tactical sequences that go on for several moves, but also really simple one-move tactics such as the knight moving so the rook protects the pawn; both are explained really clearly and it makes the recaps really easy to follow.

All this talk about computer moves got me thinking. It's a new skill that separates GMs from Super-GMs: Knowing what to look for, what to expect and what the opponent will most likely calculate. There will be lines that, for a computer, are losing, but might succeed because a human opponent would not consider it in his calculations and/or would spent huge amounts of extra time if he does. It's probably what Tal did back in the day before computers were good: Creating situations that are uncommon and where the natural looking move is the one move that loses. In many of his games he started attacks that would be defendable by computers but he could bet on humans not being able to find the correct answers within the given time limits. In other words he played suboptimal moves that became superior by acknowledging the human factor.

i like how he stares at camera for 2 seconds and then suddenly plays the goated intro

[sandermartinsen]

love the respect between Hikaru and Magnus

[oxooo]

The stare at the beginning and "welcome back everyone" gets me every time 😹

[stevenaguiar]

Like alway such a great inspiration Hikaru, even in defeat you and magnus are just on another level

[TheItalianiancommenter]

"We all wish Magnus the best. Or do we?" *Vsauce music starts playing*

[juanjoseescanellas]

Being light years far from understandinng his chess, I fill I can understand how positive is Hikaru's human approach in communication. Great.

[blindcat]

That first checkmate by Magnus was beau-ti-ful

[strangemachines_]

This guy is nothing but class to acknowledge his greatest opponents talent as somewhat above his own. That’s like Napoleon level respect right there.

[wakandakimana]

Hikaru is clearly the most iconic character of digital chess ❤
