"Ill just check, and Ill pick up all his rooks." lol
2:40:00 "One thing a dont like is playing these top guys" …. after a while plays 550 and is confused, if it is normal chess 😀 😀 haha, laughed so much 😀
No offense, but he seems super unhappy to be doing this.
Audio quality kinda shitty
he is a genius
It's a shame the corrections to the lag from last time still don't allow him to stream bullet.
Naka really needs to take a draw when it's a draw and stop acting all high and mighty.
One of the top players in chess and he just sounds like he's explaining how to rake leaves.
Naka's streaming is so much better than the other guys. Naka doesn't throw tantrums, or chairs, or swears and doesn't take this online blitz play too seriously. He is a true sportsman and ambassador for chess. The other guy could learn much more than chess from Naka.
I play chess on my iPhone 7s plus and I realize it's easier than an iPad that's big or even medium size because it's easier to see all moves. It makes a good chess player better.
Not all grandmasters are alike. There's normal grandmasters who are just gms and then there's nakamura who is 5 steps above them. One step above him is carlsen. One step above carlsen when in a serious mode is kasparov. 2 steps above casparov is Fischer who is more consistent than any gms ever except for mikhal tal!!! Which is one step above even Fischer. He was a mad scientist in the game of chess. He was the best player of the 1900s and even now there's not a single player that can give him challenges. Karpov,kasparov, and Fischer lost against him. Mikhail tal. Unoticeable in chess but undoubtedly the best ever. An honorable mention id like to point out if metojelic. If he wasn't a chess coach he would have became one of the best chess player ever with skills that even Spassky is afraid of.
Chess.com is white. Lichess is black. Let's wait.
Can someone explain to me what happened @ 2:27:00?
Resign sounds are so epic
5:49
2:11:34
No one wants to play with you!!! 🙁
Probably, maybe not.
2:25:05 a trip to nakaland (for the next 5 minutes)
Накамура конкретный Шахматный Супер Спец Молодец Оценка Пять с Плюсом
"a computer would win ths with eyes closed." love it
Phenomenal
Naka is cool as hell.
What was he saying was so ridiculous and insane at 2:30:55? Had his opponent only played 122 games and won 114 of them?
Will he be streaming anytime soon? I'd so love to catch a stream live
what's that flag next to his name? chile? taiwan? or the us? at 7:59 he's playing against a clearly usa flag and it's not the same as his
bullet demon so good..
Just a suggestion. Turn off your speakers, or at least turn them down. It's distracting when trying to listen to your awesome commentary.
@ 44:52. "I'll just take…and I'll just check….and I'll just pick off all his rooks….."
1:21:07 Shade!
I wish Naka would spend some of this time on his classical chess. I might be wrong but his play with the white pieces against the top players needs work. I want him to get into the candidates and win. Believe me…The talent is there.
Is he ok at 1:07:55? Camera goes down for a couple of minutes, then he leaves his queen hanging a few moves later.
Buy a new computer))
Why is this one not hd?
"Don't really want to exchange, but I'll offer an exchange."
Hikaru Nakamura, 2017.
Good!
15-minute games would be ideal imo
"It's something of a matter of technique" god I love him
naka knows how to play nearly any opening
naka plays physical chess: lag
jk chill
2:41:03 is Germany vs. France in WW2 😀
49:23 mate in 3?
Rd1+, Rxd1, Qxd1+, Ne1, Qxe1#
Lag is everywhere!! xD
i like Hikaru, i think he's a nice person aside from being a brilliant chess player.
How do I punish him? It’s punishment time. LMAO!!!!!!
So a millionaire cant get a good computer with a good connection?
2:25:08–2:30:28 best part
Just unbelievable how good Naka is. Wish he’d get a chance at Carlson for the championship. Let’s hope he does well in the candidates tournament.
2:25:30 lmao im done
So if lagging seems to be a problem, why don't these chess sites simply introduce a feature: if you lose time due to lagging, even after lag compensation, they just tell you at the end of the game how much time you lost due to lag? Loss = total lag time – lag compensation. This should be easy to calculate.
why doesn't he play with an increment? everyone one of these stupid 3+0 games ends in flagging
