Thank you so much Mr Nakamura I am now much more prepared to go up against someone playing the fianchetto kings Indian in 1997 or 1998 than I would have been other wise

[Phoenix-nhkt]

Normal chess teachers: The kings indian defence generally consists of a fianchetto and d4.
Hikaru: I believe it was the October of 1998...

sorry Hikaru the kings indian is refuted by 3000 elo chess engines so i’m not going to play it in my 800 elo games

Hey hikaru I just wanted to say thanks because yesterday the rating list (for New Rated players) was Published... It showed That I got a Rating of 1400 (I KNOW That It Isn't A Lot, But It means so Much to me) All Thanks To Your Videos... It's Lessons Like This That helped me Improve My Chess..

I remember when Hikaru won with Black using the King's Indian vs Magnus in a must win game.

Hikaru played Kings Indian a lot in SCC this year and won.

Prep back in the day: "if our opponent plays this move, we can trade here and win a pawn, otherwise we'll have to play this move"

Prep now: "the computer says to sack the queen for optimal piece activity"

In 1998 Hikaru was competing at 10 years old. WILD

[adamleckius]

HOW?! How does he remember the exact sequence of moves from some random game in Trinidad and Tobago (!!) 20 years ago?!

[tomasfedor]

Could you do a video like how to play against certain openings? Like more beginner tutorial, say in this opening with both kings castles short we would usually go for this, in that opening for that… you know what I mean? Just what are the strengths and weaknesses of some common openings and would the game strategies be. I would enjoy anything from 5 minutes to one hour, I’m just curious how u see these. Hm?

[brandonbarker]

More videos like these!! Thank you Grand Master Hikaru

[acousticmeatus]

Hikaru, please make more Kings Indian vids, I actually watched Teimoir Radjabov games playing Kings Indian, he's definitely very good but after seeing most of your game plays on Kings Indian, I wanted your lessons soooo much more coz of the way you played, it was just brilliant

[ashwanth]

Hey I am so happy since I got 1100 Elo points in lichess by playing only kings Indian as black and I played for a month!!

[ravikumarkothamasu]

Congratulations Hikaru my favorite player became blitz no1 .

[mathwizard]
