    The fact that a Twitch streamer stood toe-to-toe with the world chess champion gives hope to the rest of us 🥲
    Truly, the greatest chess bromance of all time.
    All jokes aside though, good luck against Wesley, Hikaru!

    Magnus bidding 8:58 vs Hikaru's 8:59 is one of the sickest soul reads ever! More impressive than the chess games.

    • @govindraokulkarni
      @govindraokulkarni Před rokem +13

      I have seen that winning bid is always some auto decrement (could be 1 sec here) apart from the next best. Meaning, if Hikaru puts a new bid as let's say 8 min 45 secs, he would still see Magnus winning by 8 min 44 secs if his actual bid is lower ( for example, if Magnus's original bid is 8 min 30 sec, this would happen). When multiple folks are involved, you'll always see the top bid beating the next by some auto increment / decrement. The actual value gets revealed only when it is beaten. In other words, if a Hikaru's bid would have been lower here, you would have seen the Magnus's actual bid.

      @@govindraokulkarni that just isnt how armageddon bidding works
      if you bid 8:30 against 9:00, you'd get 8:30 on the clock because you're taking that risk in time deficit in order to be able to play for draw odds
      if the bid was an autodecrement, there's nothing stopping either player from bidding incredibly low -because if the other player bids higher, they end up with a good sum of time anyways which is just dumb-
      edit: just realized my last statement was a little confusing but basically you end up bidding at like very low time in order to put your opponent on like 2 seconds vs 15 minutes

    What's truly fascinating is you both knew you'd need 9 minutes with the bidding due to being so closely matched. Both then realized that psychologically people tend to bid rounded times so you sacrificed one second for a higher chance of undercutting Magnus' bid. Yet he somehow anticipated you'd do that and went one second below. That's nuts.

    Magnus was playing chess with that bid

    The bids being different by 1 second is absurd!

    Magnus not only outbid you. He also out trolled you by bidding 1 sec less.🤣🤣

    I saw much of the match live but missed the Armageddon and from the comments during the live broadcast as it was finishing I thought that Hikaru had won. He seems remarkably chill about losing, like he just don't care!? That's a good attitude to have.

      If I'm right he hasn't lost yet, it's a double elimination bracket, he still has a chance to turn the tables

    you said it perfectly: for a retired chess player and no 1 chess streamer to perform at this highest level is the most important aspect. chapeaux! great job! finger crossed for today!

    great game Naka, draw = win for black is a HUGE advantage for the Scandi.

    You have both had better games than today, but man, you are nipping at his heels. Such a pleasure to watch you two go head to head.

    you know you're too good when the machine doesn't like your move, but you are aware that it is a good move

    Thank you Hikaru for the recap and congratulations for the great chess. I can only say it over and over: What a time to be alive to have a top10 chess player explain his games on CZcams for free.
