Anish is the type who would offer a draw to a puzzle💀

[Fajowski]

Hikaru: "Very straightforward, It's obviously x y and z checkmate"
"sorry, incorrect"
Hikaru: "I knew it wouldn't be that easy" XD

[theunknown]

It takes me 10 seconds just to figure out which side I'm supposed to play

[rando]

2:07 "I'll go for Ne2+, which is just perpetual"
Anish never disappoints.

[Philson]

Hikaru would have got it if he didn't premove.

[GearsDatapacks]

Everybody else if they can't get it: Think about it for a long time
Hikaru if he can't get it: "I can't get it without thinking so just tell me"

[DanacaoZumbi]

it's crazy that at certain level the players see so much of the same moves, even the same "mistakes". Super interesting!

[followufollowme]

Wesley is so funny, it seems that when it is his day off... he's totally off!

[SAM_UL]

The most incredible part of this video is how they memorize the positions in their head after looking at it for 10 seconds.

[kaigankaigankaigan]

Make this a regular content! It's always good when GMs try to solve these

[jackberding]

Don’t be deceived guys, Wesley is much better when he’s not multitasking (that being figuring out the chess position and figuring out how to be cute af around Nemo)

[pugsnhogz]

Duda's clarity of tactical reasoning and practical approach to problem-solving is one reason (of many) why he's produced some of the most brilliant games over the past few years, even against the strongest opponents

[TheJayMoses]

I love how Duda crushes them all then admits to not liking puzzles. He’s THAT good.

[jefft]

The second one was very hard. It's amazing to see how quick Duda and Giri reach the solution.

[Caracazz]

"It's OBVIOUSLY bishop d2... so easy"
"Wrong"
"Oh..."
Priceless

[alfaro]

I love how Hikaru says “its obviusly” and gets it wrong

[BMGdefense]

"It's chess, right?"

Anish, you are the best.

[ranjeetrajput]

This is interesting concept, i would like to see more of it.

[benjamin]

it’s not just knowing what to do that blows my mind, it’s that they can keep the position in their mind after looking at the board for 10 seconds.
