Thank you Hikaru for giving access to your mind and taking a casual, entertaining, relatable approach. It's rare to have the best in the world give such inside looks into their craft.

As a 41yo father that got back to chess 3 months ago (haven't played since I was 16yo) because of my youngest daughter, I love how you can teach me, so I can pass on to her and teach her some basic points, knowing I'm not getting her to learn stuff that are too difficult at her age, for her and for me!! Thank you for the straight forward-thinking and for sharing! Imo it's these types of YouTube videos/content that make new people want to play chess, because you make them see that chess is not something made up just for geniuses and that anyone can play it with easy basic principles, if they just know which is which ;)
Sorry if my English is not the best for expressing myself
Thank you and good luck on all your future endeavors from a Portuguese fan!

This man is probably the best chess teacher alive, and he’s teaching it to the masses. What a guy 🤘

Absolutely love that you're doing these professor episodes! For someone stuck at 800 in games but 2400 puzzles, your explanations of the early game is wonderful. Thanks prof 光る!

21:01 "getting ready to murder the king"
I love his expression afterward, like he's thinking "Did I just say that? Why'd I say murder? anyway you guys"

please more professor hikaru this content is so good

[richardcasey]

So very instructive to have a GM at this level explain the reasoning behind his moves

[DaudZaidi]

Wow this is gold. Thanks Hikaru for showing the thought process and ideas.

[randomgeographer]

This is the best type of video from Hikaru which he delivers once in a while.

I am to this day amazed by Hickeroo's calculations. He is on a whole different level. Superhuman.

[ryanshafer]

These Professor Hikaru videos have been so informative at low levels it has inspired me to start playing again. Thanks for giving us this level of insight.

I started playing 1e4 in the last 5 games I've played and won all 5. Simplifying and getting my pieces out faster really helped and I appreciate the advice in this video

[SilentRio]

Amazing at 07:38 he preempts white’s response and when they don’t oblige he goes straight into a childhood memory in response to the unexpected move!! Wow 👌 thanks for the content 👑

[michaelsafwat]
