I hope this never happens to me I will be there all night.

Amazing how he breaks it down, looks complex yet he puts it in simpler terms. The key is the understanding of final checkmate position. He sets that expectation upfront, and then proceeds to show how to not let the king run away.

Hikaru is the living embodiment to the statement: Those who can’t do it, teach it.

[smrost]

damn this is more elegant than the one I learned.

I'm having trouble memorizing this video Hikaru ends the video with "that's one way" 😂

[chanddd]

I might be able to do it in 200 moves.

[IHK]

Damm this was sooo hard, ran out of moves in the end 😂🤌

He didn't expand on Kc7 instead of Ke8 at 0:12, which is much more difficult to do

I could've defeated an FM had I known this earlier 😢

happened to me last night. got so frustrated when my opponent forced a rook trade to go to a knight bishop vs king endgame. i tried and failed.

[不明-le]

Nah hes teaching people while facing a gm 💀

[michelevirgilio]

Not me watching this midgame since i have no idea how to do it (i drew bc of 50 rule move)😂

I think I finally figured it out..have to get a little creative sometimes but took me a couple hours

[cogybear]

Who’s here after Alireza roasted Hikaru for failing knight bishop ++

[ocaly]

omfg i feel SOOO DUMB, I could do this against stockfish 2 years ago but now I forgot and I'm legit raging rn bc the king keeps escaping

[vanillaboi]

I don’t think you guys understand how masterful this is .. these moves are all forced

[MasterStroke.]

Una vez vi que Leela dio mate con el caballo.

If you're just learning this endgame, better not do it this way. This is some GM level stuff. Learn the W method. If you try the above method, you'll notice that you are unable to contain the enemy king like he does.

[StewieGriffin]

why move away from the W maneuver?
The start was the W maneuver

In analysis I was messing around and if you make 1 wrong move as white per say, the evaluation is only +2.00. Compared to Mate in 15 or under, etc.,

Against a bot or perfect play, basically you can’t mate if you mess up even once. Which makes this WAY harder than any other mate because there’s a 0 margin of error and you have to know if you messed up in the first place.
