Hikaru reacts to Dubov's thoughts on chess

[prakhar]

"I hate rapid"
- Danil Dubov, Rapid world champion

[sazcxieo]

Dubov: i hate rapid
Fischer: i hate chess
Me 600 rating: i love chess

[williamyifans]

"should I do grischuk's style and think with whom should I sleep all night" holy fk how does he do this with a straight face

[Ninterd]

Now I understand why Grischuk is late to every game.

[aliaalameri]

I LOL'ed the whole 48 seconds. Idk if it's intentional or intentional but damn Dubov is so funny 😂😭

[alihamadi]

The cut at the end was perfectly nailed 🤣

[catplayscatalan]

0:19 maybe that's why Hikaru is so good in blitz. He just doesn't care!

[evgenivasileuski]

That's why I like Dubov, powerful af at chess, powerful af as street workout dude and good sense of humor. Bro is maxed out.

[fujiapple]

If only Hikaru's reaction to, "with WHOM shall I sleep?" wasn't cut off.

[billy-cgqq]

I see now why his the rapid world champion, he's rapid even in his answers

[thesarasohrabi]

Dubov after becoming classical WC...

"I hate chess... problem with chess is that it requires a lot of effort. No time to think about who i should sleep with"

[deidara_]

Hikaru sounds like someone who's been smoking a three packs a day for 60 years

[reek]

Last sentence: “with whom I should sleep tonight?” 😂

[Misha-bjeq]

Every month I rewatch it.
And it's only getting better...

[EutecHydra]

I like how dubov tried real hard not to laugh after answering

[kaminoyami]

we all love this guy's personality lmao
edit : thank you guys for agreeing tho xD been a fan of watching his attacking since around 2018

[haroshea]

Now imagine that Russian-speaking people have the pleasure of listening to hour-long interviews and hours-long streams featuring Dubov and Grischuk 😜

I feel like for most players rapid is the most fun. You don't feel like you're having a heart attack like bullet and you aren't playing games that take forever. It's fun for 20 mins and you get to come up with good strategies, good ideas, etc. This was pretty funny, though.

[wikipediaboyful]

So that's why Magnus always arrives at rapids in pijamas and with a water bottle for hangover...

[finlayson]

It's like the 3000m in track. When you get to an elite level in running, 3000m can be super weird. It's not long enough for you to get into a groove like the 5000m or 10000m. But it's not quite short enough to be an extended sprint like the 800m or 1500m. Just an awkward and annoying middle ground. Pick a lane!
