Think about what this man just did. Not only did he win a tournament packed with super GMs, but he simultaneously kept all of his fans entertained by visiting the confessional on multiple occasions. He was essentially the fourth commentator for God's sake! And on top of that, he won Titled Tuesday on his freaking day off. We have entered a new era of chess, and Hikaru Nakamura is its number one ambassador. Congratulations, Hikaru. You are the man.

Hikaru: "The problem is your bishop on d3 is a problem for the d pawn"

Magnus: "I don't see any issue here"

Hikaru winning in style. Proving why he’s one of the best again.

Hikaru never misses a chance to count pawns in Spanish and show us he can roll his R's

You could see from energy in the intro that the man won😂.
Bravo.Hikaru🎉🎉🎉

Not bad for a professional streamer! Well done Hikaru!

Mad respect for playing such fun openings like the fried liver/knight attack and the King's gambit. Finding intense lines in such classical games is exciting and amazing content. And to win a tournament like this is legendary.

Congrats Hikaru! Hopefully you can cross 2800 once again eventually! Always love watching your recaps!

Finally the fried liver attack and the king's Gambit made it to a classical championship . Congrats hikaru 🎉

What Hikaru gives after one mont of serious preparation is impressive. He already had acknolowledge Fabiani as the main threat and shows how much his evaluation is good.

I cracked up so hard when Hikaru randomly (but very seriously) started counting pawns in Spanish 😂😂😂

[nick-ld]

Hikaru, please do whatever's needed to qualify for the candidates. You are in prime position, don't let it slip because of technicalities.
Who knows what can happen, just look at the path Ding made, give it one more shot...

Every time Hikaru wins a tournament we celebrate as a family 🎉

[theankotze]

The first time I've streamed a game live. Was super fun! So exciting to see you win!

[infinitytoinfinitysquaredb]

OMG! I didn't let myself get my hopes up because Fabi only needed a draw but YOU PULLED IT OFF!!! This is the happiest I've ever been over a chess game. 😂🎉🍻🥂💃💃💃

Norway has a new king! He's the one and only, the legend himself; ladies and gentlemen HIKARU NAKAMURA 🙌 👑

I really can't explain why I'm happy about this, but hey, I am. I will take any joy we can find in these days, this is fantastic. And thanks Hikaru for the annotations, I can kind of follow a little. I'm motivated to improve at the game and enjojying it more than ever.

This game was imo honestly the best played game of the entire tournament. The way you took advantage of Fabis small mistake, and always made sure there was absolutely no counterplay and making the game as “easy” as possible for you. Every fricking single move was literally perfection and so precisely thought through, never playing rushed or being too confident, just playing absolutely amazing chess. I wouldn’t be surprised if computer says it’s 100% accuracy.
Very very few chess players that i know, would be able to play this precise. Congratulations to you on the game and the tournament🎉🥳😎

It's great to see top level games being fun again. This tournament was amazing to watch, and Hikaru really deserved the win

Es increíble escuchar los comentarios de Nakamura a una de las partidas más importantes de su carrera, y escuchar contar en español los peones no tiene precio, mucha lucidez y profundidad, es un privilegio me está motivando a aprender ingles
