Major difference between a super GM getting 90%+ accuracy vs an 800 ELO getting 90% accuracy because your opponent blunders 6 straight moves then resigns.
Actually Bd3 is not that hard to find. I saw it in couple of seconds when Kf3 was first mentioned. I would never have come up with double sacrifice though. I have seen some players at my level doing such things, but I can't find those kinds of moves with ease.
@@AnkhArcRod Actually Bd3 is really hard to find. I couldn't find it after hours of rewatching thos video. Nor was I able to see it when Kf3 was mentioned, I dont even know what kf3 means. Or Bd3. But that double sacrifice was basically child's play.
@@zachh3296 Thats interesting. Im a 1200 rapid player (2000 puzzle) and I found that bishop move rightaway, but the other brilliant moves I had no idea.
I'm relatively new to high level chess. You mentioned "modern play" and it made me wonder: are there any videos out there reviewing very old games in the context of "this is what the meta used to be and why it wouldn't be done this way anymore" ?
You can know what the meta used to be. You can know what the new meta is. But not _why!_ A computer does not think using intuition. I doubt even high level players know the reasons why! You can come up with an explanation, but different people will come up with different explanations. Let me give you an example. A Classic Sicilian Defense. 1. e5 c5 (this is the Sicilian's requirement) 2. Nf3 (this is the Kingside Horse for White) 2. ... d6! (this is curious! Since all it does is support the first Black pawn. Why??) Or, or... 1. e5 c5 (this is the Sicilian's requirement) 2. Bc4 (this is Kishop-3, or the Kingside Bishop diagonally 3 squares) (additionally, this Bishop targets the weak Black King's f7 square albeit just by itself) 2. ... e6! (CZcamsrs say this move ‘blocks’ the Bishop. Funny, because a sole Bishop cannot attack. My best guess is instead of blocking, it _prepares the Centre Attack of d5!_ But you can't know what a computer thinks...)
That really was impressive. I love watching a match where someone is able to sacrifice major pieces to accomplish a great offensive strategy. Rarely do I get to see someone checkmate his opponent while down two majors. That was a fun one to watch. Thank you for sharing.
What a game! I am so happy that I found 3 of 4 brilliant moves except of f6 (I have not seen the previeous videos of Hikaru brillinat moves), that quiet move I find even more beautiful than the sacrifices. Thanx for a great video Sam
Glad you like it! I think my favorite thing about the moves is that they come one right after the other blow - just a beautiful flurry of hammer blows!
Thank you Sam. I like the way you comment. First time I have you in my feed. Where 'they' send me tons of much worse commentators, which I listen to two times (to give them the benefit of doubt let's say). Well, much of this is a matter of taste (and age) obviously. Two other online commentators that I like are Agadmator and Husschenbrett. A bit uncertain as to the spelling 😁 But thanks!
Chess commentators on Hikaru : "This is an amazing, elegant and beautiful game that is one of the best games ever played." Hikaru on Hikaru: "This might just be a bad idea and I don't know how to play chess"
With a game like this you just have to sit down and take a glass of whisky and enjoy. I thought, as a medium player, that I could foresee Hikarus moves. I could not. He is so good
Pretty good game. I have to say I didn't consider playing Bc6 either but the idea of making that battery was pretty obvious. I was actually considering the maneuver Qb6-Qa7-Qa8.
Same! Probably because it's in the thumbnail. The brain unconsciously processed the moves Also we were expecting brilliant moves, it's like the puzzles online, you can solve very advanced ones but fail to see the simple ones in actual games. Sorry if I broke your spirit 😬
The backwards knight move suggested around 8:30-9:00, is that considered a tactical idea or a positional idea? The line that helps develop your bishop. How would you practice finding stuff like that? Usually a tactical idea ends in a capture or a favorable trade.
Wow this video is amazing from hikaru and as an amazing of a breakdown from you. I subbed so fast. I am a chess player who can beat 1200 and 1400 computers but I struggle to get my elo higher because I play no openings I just play off feel. What are some openings for white and black that will take me to a higher ELO?
Learn some openings that you can use most of the time for white or black, so have something prepared for e4 and d4 for white, and the corresponding e5 d5 responses. Something like learning the Italian game, the ruy Lopez and the queens gambit should have you pretty well covered as a start. If you’re facing the Sicilian defense the alapin variation is handy to learn to avoid all the theory involved in the Sicilian. You may face other openings than e4 - e5 and d4 - d5, but they are far less common and you probably won’t see them very often
@@steffenbakken4531 wow man thanks so much for your time. I understand mid game so we’ll but half the time I’m in such a worse position just guessing an opening that it does matter
I paused at 2:19 to guess the moves but it was a bit hard to see them since the opening explorer covers the board. The rest of the video was nice to watch though!
At minute 7:00 The knight on f3 doesn't have to take black knight on e5. Simply White knight can move to h4 and force an exchange of the bishops. The black knight is totally useless on e5 and can NOT attack anything meaningful.
Here's the game! www.chess.com/analysis/library/tGc5fhyoC
What's hikaru's match with the highest estimated ELO? Is there a way to check that?
finally, why don't u start adding PGN's to description?
The way you explain every small move and logic behind it makes your videos incredibly good to watch. Would love to see more videos. Best wishes👍
It’s official, hikaru beat Stockfish!
Underrated af
Lmao
Actually, he calls his blue beads “Deep Blue 2.0”
Apparently there is a new version of the beads released called Stockfish 15.1

Yesterday I had a game with 97% accuracy at 900 elo 😎
@Skesh awesome 😎
@@skesh9572 you don't have to calculate as much to outplay a 900 that's why you got brilliant not the same at this level IDIOT
@@skesh9572 congrats!
Also the depth, i did 2 brilliant moves in a recent game but the depth was only around 18 so it doesnt count 😅 (1100 elo)
500 Elo: win in 4 moves
3500 Elo: win in 4 brilliant moves
also average 1200 bullet game: win in 40 blunders

Hikaru played this brilliantly, he played slow and steady until the batteries ran out. 10/10 for hikaru
slow and steady except actually it was probably ridiculously fast xD
It's amazing how the castles costs Hans all that activity and the king goes back to e4 anyways for the end of the game
Hans Stockfish never misses a bead, what tempo ! It will go down in the annals of Chess
*anals
Bro🤣🤣🤣
All four brilliant moves I wouldn’t find in 15 years, Hikaru finds them in 15 seconds
His beads ran out of battery.
And hikaru's ceiling uses power from the wall.
I sacrifice my pieces almost every game hoping to get a brilliant move. Usually its blunders but i get some brilliants here and there
And here I am going nuts when I get that 1 brilliant move every 100 games
Crazy how Hikaru plays much better chess in Blitz than I do in classical, that's how good he is.
he probably plays better chess in bullet than you in classical too

Massively curious as well. Would be very helpful for learning the game in general
Pretty sure, agadmator talks about modern variants of openings when reviewing old classics.
You can know what the meta used to be. You can know what the new meta is. But not _why!_

@@oosmanbeekawoo yeah u can it's really not that hard lol
How do you see that far ahead in a blitz game? Incredible, at least to me.
I really liked the famous classical games, would like to see more of them. They inspired me
I definitely have some ideas here as well, but I need time to develop my next project there...

Beautiful gem you found here. Rxc3 was an incredible intuitive move.
Found the last brilliant move right away, but didn't have chance on the others 😅
Amazing game and video!
should be called ‘a bunch of moves neither player actually even played’

I acually saw the move Rxc3 myself and thought it looks very strong. I was so hyped up when this was revealed as a brilliancy.
I even figured out the following moves too in the first place
good job

It's positional. You find those moves by asking yourself which one of your pieces is most unhappy.

Learn some openings that you can use most of the time for white or black, so have something prepared for e4 and d4 for white, and the corresponding e5 d5 responses.

It's hard to make a good suggestion, but I think a lot of people like "Keep It Simple 1.e4" on Chessable or Gotham's Gambit Guide by Gothamchess.
Imagine beating Magnus or hikaru based on feel frel what a dream that would be😊
First brilliant move at 10:51 the rest follow after

2:38 me feeling proud of myself for immediately finding Ne5 as a 1300 in Blitz (Lichess). Didn't think for over 2 seconds. *Bzz bzz*
Superb!
I paused at 2:19 to guess the moves but it was a bit hard to see them since the opening explorer covers the board. The rest of the video was nice to watch though!
Did Hikaru calculate through all four of those brilliancies at the same time? Or even two of them?
Love your explanation
