We should still all be happy for Hikaru after picking himself up in the later half of the tournament and giving us a show worth watching!

as a YouTuber myself I just cannot FATHOM the stamina this man has - it is unreal. He played a super grueling tournament, got within an inch of winning and getting a very real shot a becoming the WORLD CHESS CHAMPION, "only" gets a draw in the last game and then - somehow - superhumanly - goes to make a video with in-depth analysis of the game RIGHT AWAY. Like right after that game. Just... HOW DOES HE HAVE THAT KIND OF STAMINA?!?! Congratulations to Hikaru for an impressive tournament, although I'm sure he mostly thinks he lost 1st place and not won 2nd place - still it is of course a very impressive performance.

It is really fascinating that even after you lost a huge opportunity at the world title, you showed us that its okay to lose and really important to learn from it in life by making these reaction videos just after the game!.. Really inspiring. Thanks Nakamura!

[Wishy_]

Bro lost but still completed the recaps series, what a sport.

[harshavardhanbhavare]

GM Hikaru is a legend, proving his words "i dont care about the result of my chess games, i just love playing chess " Huge respect Sir from India 🇮🇳

[pikachuop]

You fought like a warrior and didn't give up... Legend

[alirehman]

great sportsmanship...praises his opponent despite being in competition with him and also being so cool....that's why Hikaru is peoples champion..

[darthmandalore]

Thanks for everything! Honestly, it affected me more than I expected, as I've never been the type to really get carried away in sports when it comes to rooting for someone, especially for someone I never even met (although I guess seeing someone for hundreds of hours on stream might bring that person a lot closer). Ultimately, I think that matters more in life, what you have meant to both the people around you and those you've never even met. So for me at least you are the true winner, maybe not of this Candidates cycle, but at least in life.

[hardikconilingus]

Hikaru we all love you from India. After Gukesh, I was really rooting for you to win the event. But I hope you will keep shining and smiling and winning hearts of your fans❤️

[samfogg]

Posting recaps after every game, playing Title Tuesday, and making moves for the memes. You may not have won the candidates tournament but you're the winner to the fans.

[AdityaKumar-brh]

Imagine Ding says he doesn't wanna play and then Hikaru comes back with the tie breaker 😂

[fischeintopfLP]

Don't be disappointed I think gukesh winning is actually a great. Only 17 years old and already crushing the candidates. Can't imagine what this means to him. You played well and showed that you're at least one of the top 5 players in the world.

[andreisecuiu]

You may have seen this a million times already, but thank you Hikaru for your amazing journey through the tournament!! We are very lucky to have such a high level player as our favourite content creator. Your dedication to these recaps and entertaining play are super appreciated by your fans 😃

[themodernTAL]

Really sad that we couldn't see you win. But at least my sleep schedule will be fixed now : )

[basteless]

As usual, Hikaru played incredibly well, being precise and sharp. Naka, you gave a great performance, and congratulations to Gukesh on winning the candidates!

[joaocesar]

He won 5 pts and is almost crossing the 2800s barrier. Great tournament 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[fitrideshita]

Hikaru lost but still come up with that energetic
I'm still your fan Hikaru!

[RyanSmith-bjoc]

Gotta give it to Gukesh. He's only 17, but he just didnt give Hikaru any winning chances

[SoNiKSht]

The fact you and Gukesh both ended with 98% accuracy draw is insane. You both played almost perfect games. Great job Hikaru!

[Edward.....]

You are a class-act, Mr Nakamura. Well done providing such good commentary/insights one both the good days and the more difficult days! Really appreciated.
