The thumbnail is legendary

[@khayamelo2740]

Nice. Very nice.

[@18geedawg]

I concur 😂

[@giovannyc.1724]

The legendary super grandmaster

[@Lamb666]

As someone who has played Dokkan for the past 7 years, that was a bit of whiplash thinking it was DaTruthDT in the thumbnail.

[@giovannyc.1724]

@@Lamb666 And you would be surprised to know how many push ups, situps, and what kind of juice Hikaru drinks

[@briansilva3765]

That second game had it all, drawing arrows, Hikaru saying his moves are bad, then saying a move just wins, asking god if the move is correct, great game.

[@martinloh5553]

I love the thumbnail
Keep it up hikaru and editor

[@ala1995ginobiko]

Man’s using Dokkan Battle art 😭

[@lavaentertainmentz7870]

For tablebase at the end of the video, it's not mate in 21 moves. DTZ means distance to zeroing, which means the 50 move rule is reset (a pawn push or a piece is taken), while DTM is distance to mate.

[@a.j.leclair5426]

Omg I love that Hikaru used Broly in the thumbnail! Broly is the legendary super Saiyan and Hikaru is the legendary chess streamer so it makes sense

[@RyanWalshGuitar]

That final calculation to win the event was unbelievable. Like 10 moves in about 5 seconds to win by one tempo... I'd need half an hour to maybe figure that out.

[@hieveryone.8508]

Another great video. It is facinating and cool when Hikaru criticizes himself for playing too slow and bad, while his opponent has used let's say 45 seconds more than him, and he still beats the opponent, while he also follows and interacting with people on the chat. Just shows you how incredible high skilled chess player he is. And his opponents are very great at chess themself.

[@JugiFafa]

The thumbnail is a 10/10

[@raylopez99]

Who is it? Some anime character or just a jungle Chad? Edit: it's apparently , " PHY Broly from Dokkan "

@Hikaru: have you tried the Old Benoni/Grob setup? Pawns on g5 and h6, light color bishop comes to f5-g6 or g4-h5-g6 and play for pushing g5 or for the e5 square. Some spectacular positions come out of this. You can sack a lot for initiative.

[@yodamaged2703]

Very good idea. I'm going to try it out as a 2500 blitz lichess. It'll let you know how it is after some games. Thanks!

[@XVRMEDIA]

@@yodamaged2703 It’s featured in Michael Basman’s book The Killer Grob against 1. d4 but I find it more interesting to start as an Old Benoni 1. d4 c5 2. d5 and then transpose with d6, h6 and g5 to take away white’s other possible center setups against the Grob.
If white attacks the flank pawns with h4 you’re supposed to push g4 and if white attacks with f4 you’re supposed to sack the g5 pawn and open the g and h files for your rooks.
If white doesn’t push 2. d5 you can easily transpose into an open Sicillian with 2… cxd4 which he probably doesn’t want to play. Also 2. dxc5 can lead into an open Sicillian with Qa5 and Qxc5.
More interesting than other responses to 1. d4, dynamic gameplay. Pressure on the long diagonal doesn’t end until late game, there are always tactics lurking.

[@NOCRAFTPUNK]

@@XVRMEDIA isn't grob for the white peices?

[@NOCRAFTPUNK]

Grob is a shitty opening above 1800. Just weakens the kingside for no reason

[@XVRMEDIA]

@@NOCRAFTPUNK Depends how you play it. And you get to play chess not some boring 20-move theory which leads to a forced draw.

ALRIGHT GUYS BACK WITH DOKKAN BATTLE VIDE… wait this isn’t Dokkan

[@hieveryone.8508]

Congrats on another great win.

[@AaronConway]

I finished this one and looked if hikaru posted another one by habit lol. Chop chop chess boy.

[@doppio763]

Imagine the second best player in the world of chess use a thumbnail of dokkan battle, cursed asf.

Oh, so much joy!

[@toastersman217]

1:50:45 Very nice!

[@pragyanupadhyaya8527]

It's nice to see a jolly broly. Believe it or not dragon ball is so huge on CZcams, that the teams definitely got the thumbnail correct.

[@Immorant_]

Dokkan Art???

[@JugiFafa]

Yes

[@Blackwell0102]

Clicked for the thumbnail ,stayed for the mates

[@Unknown-jt1jo]

Hikaru seems to struggle against Kamsky (even if he usually ends up winning).

[@eldeewt]

All the bots commenting 1 minute after the video came out
Edit: It's different because I'm not pretending to know what happened in the video
I'm not a bot I'll do a captcha to prove it

@23:06 I don't understand why HIkaru couldn't take blacks knight on d4 with his knight on f3? Can someone explain it to me

[@BloodyStarswhite]

nevermind, I see the past pawn would be able to queen

[@-hitmanace1822]

At 14:45 couldn’t you go rook takes pawn on f2 and if he takes with rook you take back ? Then you’d be up a rook and pawn I’m really confused

[@dictatorakshay369]

Hikaru crushes dreams coz he literally doesn't care
