Chess SuperGM Hikaru Nakamura Takes On Minesweeper

Hikaru Nakamura plays the only game older than chess... a game first introduced with Windows 3.1

Ah, the classic “I’ll do one more”


PROCEEDS TO PLAY 200 GAMES

No matter what game he's playing it still feels like he's playing chess.

One man's descent into his gambling addiction in minesweeper

[brunoalejandroandrades]

I saw the thumbnail and was like "Finally something I'm better at than Hikaru" then I saw the speed he solved these and was like "Hell, I guess Hikaru is better than me at everything"

[MundaneDave]

"Alright, one more..."
"One one one, one one, one one one, one. One one. One. One one one. Shoot!"
"ONE MORE!"

[markuscordova]

His minesweeper skills are decent, he should try playing chess.

[DavesDime]

"I'm not doing one more you guys. Because the thing is, that actually, when I do too many of them, it just, it start's to like... oh whatever okay one more one more."

How do GMs practise bullet?
Hikaru: minesweeper
Penguin: aimbooster

[Arishtanxmi]

I remember when I did play this I used to start off every game by clicking at 5 or 6 random places. If I don't lose by then, the game usually becomes simpler.

Hikaru playing one last game of minesweeper for 25 minutes.

[gustavobarbosa]

"just one more, just one ok the last one the last one"

[dantemarcos]

Hikaru: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 1, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1 hmmm 🤔 me: interesting 🧐

[tee]

“Minesweeper BREAKS Hikaru”
Me: “Oh maybe a game I’m actually better at”
Hikaru then proceeds to play faster and better than anyone I’ve ever seen.
😒

[paristmo]

He even calculates the failure percentage of the guessing ones. What a mad lad.

[adrielau]

One one, one one one one, , one one, there we go, one one one one one one

[GRINSEKTZE]

I would love to see you play "Crypt of the Necrodancer". It's a chesslike rythm based, roguelike dungeon exploration game, which is hard as balls. There is even a chess boss to fight.

[liquidice]

"one more and then chess" these were the last words hikaru said before descending into a mine sweeper addiction frenzy.

[Nabium]

"Just one more"

The eternal chant of an addicted mind. Just lucky you're not on a blackjack table.

[noobclasher]

Hikaru: I will do one more.

Also Hikaru: Plays 10 more games

[paolomarzo]

The last words "one more then chess"🤣🤣
