On August 9, 2024 I battled Ian Nepomniachtchi in the SCC Quarterfinals.

Hans vs Magnus and Guccireza vs Hikaru??

Script writers went crazy

[hausi]

"I need to change something" he said, and came back with a new shirt. 😀

Guy makes a Levy recap video, beats Nepo in SCC QF, and makes a 30 minute review video of his own games all in the same day. I can hardly get off the couch.

[nexttech]

28:45 Hikaru assuming he's facing off against magnus instead of Hans is so savage lmao

[AdamOuled]

So happy you won I was so scared in the first games

[shonkai]

Ian is such a good player, he doesn't receive as much glamour as Pragg, Hans, Alireza etc but his technique might only be second to Magnus and Hikaru and Fabi

[iblivs]

i watched the live stream earlier, was literally on the edge of my seat, and scooched back when the bullet round came up. congrats hikaru!

[Password_]

Hikaru calculates with that same power anime protagonists have, where they just have five episodes worth of inner monologue storylines while to the outside world only three seconds have passed.

[a.j.leclair]

Good luck Hikaru im rooting for you and i really hope you win it all!

[FindingTheNarrative]

I suck at chess, but I absolutely love watching this Hikaru's recaps. Like his vision is absolutely insane.

[Fieryxjoe]

"Hopefully I can beat Alireza so I can face off with Magnus again" lol the shade being thrown at Hans.

[棗こころ-zx]

28:45 He didn’t even mention that guy 😂

[joshr.]

He played very well in the longer time control, but as things got closer to bullet, it wasn't even close. Great job!

[sub-harmonik]

23:43 "And I have a very obvious setup with bishop d4 and knight g3"
I can follow most of these easily but I have no idea how that setup is obvious.

[Harryf]

Stare today started with Hikaru looking at something else, away from the camera... Suspicious, maybe his camera on wherever he's locked up Levy?

[MolapoMakwela]

HIKARU the beast🔥🔥🔥I nearly cried when you were losing the 5+1 portion but I knew a juicy comeback was coming🔥

[mrk_apx]

Always catches me offguard when he speaks abt himself in the third person 😭

[alooi]

Bruh I almost lost hope when u lost in the beginning, but I remembered that you’re Hikaru!

[GangsterJabs]

Damn I thought you were going to lose against Nepo after how painful those defeats in the 5 + 1 portion were. Props to you for being able to turn it around and beat him

[itsjacb]

I watched until it was 7 for 7, when i came back and saw it 14.5 my mind blown
