MARIANO COLLAB WITH HIKARU TRAIN HIM IN POKER!!!! Get him on HCL
@@gffg387wtf 💀💀
as a KZheadr myself I just cannot FATHOM the stamina this man has - it is unreal. He played a super grueling tournament, got within an inch of winning and getting a very real shot a becoming the WORLD CHESS CHAMPION, "only" gets a draw in the last game and then - somehow - superhumanly - goes to make a video with in-depth analysis of the game RIGHT AWAY. Like right after that game. Just... HOW DOES HE HAVE THAT KIND OF STAMINA?!?! Congratulations to Hikaru for an impressive tournament, although I'm sure he mostly thinks he lost 1st place and not won 2nd place - still it is of course a very impressive performance.
it's impressive for sure, but of course he's just spent the whole day thinking about the game, so you'd have to think that in some ways the EASIEST time to record the recap is immediately after the game, while it's all fresh in his mind...
I dont seen any inch of winning chance for hikaru. Gukesh just crushed and trashed hikaru 🙄
Don't bro... The hate is not needed.. Gukesh needed the draw he took it..
@@Obhinmemess no hate but it what it is gukesh made bend hikaru for that win . And gukesh played solid chess and defended like an tank.
@@everoverlasting It the easiest time, but not on an emotional basis...
It is really fascinating that even after you lost a huge opportunity at the world title, you showed us that its okay to lose and really important to learn from it in life by making these reaction videos just after the game!.. Really inspiring. Thanks Nakamura!
Bro lost but still completed the recaps series , what a sport.
he drew
@@dessertstorm7476 he lost the tournament, but he doesn't care that much, he was one of the fan favorites, has a great community (and increasing) and now he is even more milionaire than be4
@@dessertstorm7476 he lost candidates tournament tho
Obviously, he's a content creator
@@sit3188he didn't loose the tournament - he came second
We should still all be happy for Hikaru after picking himself up in the later half of the tournament and giving us a show worth watching!
Agreed.. He atleat puts on a show for us fans which I really like :) I enjoy them the most.. Love you Hikaru❤
great sportsmanship...praises his opponent despite being in competition with him and also being so cool....that's why Hikaru is peoples champion..
"praises his opponent despite being in competition with him", tell me you never practiced any competitive sports without telling me. It's considered normal to respect your opponent in sports, that's the first thing they teach you no matter what sport one practices. Hikaru is everyone's champ because he is a goat at chess and not because he solely respects his opponent (which is considered normal). I'm reacting to you like this because I tend to believe I have seen in increasing amount of comments of anti-social people praising normal social behavior. People really do set the bar very low regarding social interaction nowadays.
@ihategettingbanned Religion is not an issue in his case. Gukesh is Hindu or atheist. He can drink and smoke after few years but I guess he won't.
@@_sayan_roy_I don’t he is atheist judging by the white symbolic thing that he applies on his fore head
@@dontstare2781 He is hindu, like me. Even I apply the white powder or sometimes ash to my forehead.
Thanks for everything! Honestly, it affected me more than I expected, as I've never been the type to really get carried away in sports when it comes to rooting for someone, especially for someone I never even met (although I guess seeing someone for hundreds of hours on stream might bring that person a lot closer). Ultimately, I think that matters more in life, what you have meant to both the people around you and those you've never even met. So for me at least you are the true winner, maybe not of this Candidates cycle, but at least in life.
You fought like a warrior and didn't give up... Legend

Hikaru Chokamura and Fabiano Chokuarana
@@Wargasm54What does choke mean? Blunder or?
Still couldn't win from lord gukesh
@@PyExcelthey had a chance to win but they fumbled and lost that chance (especially fabi)
GM Hikaru is a legend , proving his words "i dont care about the result of my chess games , i just love playing chess " Huge respect Sir from India 🇮🇳
Let's be honest. They all care about the games. Gukesh, Fabi, Nepo and Hikaru. Hikaru has the decency to enjoy the ride. It is heart broken to be in that position Just man, it hurts.
@@Peter-hz3vs Hikaru just shows that he doesn't care but thats just a positive attitude towards any kind of result
You believe in that fairy tale?
@@harshavardhanbhavare1972 of course he care. He's just saying that to reduce pressure.
Ye sabko sir bulane ki adat galat hai
He won 5 pts and is almost crossing the 2800s barrier. Great tournament 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Amazing tournament for you Hikaru, I was watching every Kick stream and every re-cap video from this. Great content and great effort put into it !
Posting recaps after every game, playing Title Tuesday, and making moves for the memes. You may not have won the candidates tournament but you're the winner to the fans.
Also winner of the bank balance HIKARU made during candidates, Hikaru xDD ❤️
the only winner here is his pocket
Imagine Ding said he doesn't wanna play and then Hikaru comes back with the tie breaker 😂
naka fans imagining the unrealistics 😂
Life is uncertain,cannot deny any possibilities…😂😂
"failed" mate? he was half point away thats not a fail@@deividgf1606
Well ding said he has lost motivation same as magnus loo
@@prakhyatsingh263but he also said that he had already planned to leave chess if he lost but he won so he has to continue that means he intended on defending
Congrats on a great tournament and many thanks for taking the time to analyse the games for us. I can't speak for everyone, but for myself, this has made it much more interesting to follow the tournament. Hearing the thought processes gives so much more depth to everything.
Absolutely loved the recaps! You did fantastic, this was a fantastic tournament, couldn't have written a cooler turn of events. It's amazing you kept in the running! Fantastic chess!
Hikaru we all love you from India. After Gukesh, I was really rooting for you to win the event. But I hope you will keep shining and smiling and winning hearts of your fans❤️
Exactly what Hikaru was shooting for. He knew if he gave Gukesh the draw or win, he'd get easy clicks from Gukesh fans.
@@sans-qp9pp lol, that's a stupid lie
@@sans-qp9pp tell yourself whatever you want to cope.
@sans-qp9pp 🤡 you are the kind of person who would say: electricity companies hide sun at night so they get to earn more
@@sans-qp9pp we are Hikaru fans too. We enjoy a good chess game and why one would want to hate on Hikaru? He's such a sweet guy lol.
Ian Vs Fabiano almost made me cry...
Yep. What an emotional rollercoaster it was.😊🤬😢.
I fell out of my chair kkkkk. I was rooting for Nepo...
“I’m very sorry”. “it’s my bad” 😭
I feel really bad for fabi. I was rooting for him after hikaru.
when two chokers met. at least Hikaru can play for the crown if Ding resigns from defending the title.
Great mentality to have with everything that happened. thank you for the recaps! no one else does anything close to what you do and your fans appreciate it!
You may have seen this a million times already, but thank you Hikaru for your amazing journey through the tournament!! We are very lucky to have such a high level player as our favourite content creator. Your dedication to these recaps and entertaining play are super appreciated by your fans 😃
Gotta give it to Gukesh. He's only 17, but he just didnt give Hikaru any winning chances
and im 20 nd achieved nothing :(
@@shazam1334 please don't think about things that way, i advise against comparing yourself to literally anyone. I am sure you will find purpose in your life and achieve great things. Go at your own pace, don't rush things. Whenever you find that purpose, make sure you pour your heart and soul into it and everything will turn out just fine. Keep being a pure hearted person and nothing but good will come your way. I pray for you success.
you gotta be indian for sure
@@user-ol2sd8hd9k A wholesome advice ! Thank you !
@@mvp99dba Bro he's praising someone who won the tournament. What? lmao
The fact you and Gukesh both ended with 98% accuracy draw is insane. You both played almost perfect games. Great job Hikaru!
Man, I love the heart you have for the game! Not many would do this immediately after losing an important game like that! You are one of a kind!
You played a great tournament and gave us, your fans, recaps of all your games. THANK YOU! It's really amazing! Also, congratulations to Gukesh for winning the candidates, an incredible feat and I'm stoked for the WCC match between him and Ding!
Your fan's love before candidates: ❤ Your fan's love after candidates:❤
yes... Win or loss, always respect for Hikaru.
As usual, Hikaru played incredibly well, being precise and sharp. Naka, you gave a great performance, and congratulations to Gukesh on winning the candidates!
Most exciting Candidates that I can remember - in the final round I was rooting for everyone simultaneously watching all of my favorites. I was glued to the video stream the last few days for the games. Thanks for all the immediate recaps, day after exhausting.
Awesome performance!!! Really wish you could have gone all the way, but after a rough start, you had a SOLID finish! Thank you for letting us into all of the behind the scenes gamesmanship and analysis! GOAT chess creator!
Really sad that we couldn't see you win. But at least my sleep schedule will be fixed now : )
Two principled players, not letting one walk over the other. Hikaru didn't let Gukesh have an easy win!
You and your recaps made this Candidates tournament very exciting to follow. Hope you know you always have lots of support from your loyal fans.
Don't be disappointed I think gukesh winning is actually a great. Only 17 years old and already crushing the candidates. Can't imagine what this means to him. You played well and showed that you're at least one of the top 5 players in the world.
'crushing'?
Yeah, he won and your idol didn't @@joebloggs396
Most indeed be disappointing not winning the candidates again. Gukesh first time playing takes it home. Can't be mad though, Gukesh played excellent
Crushing is a massive overstatement. He has won no game against all the other 3 top contenders. Yes, he was able to get draws against them but crushing?
@@drschwandi3687 cry harder
Well played. Sorry you didn’t get the win. We enjoyed following you!!
😂😂😂
@@funnyshorts.456 What is your chess elo

NEXT TIME HIKARU!!! ALWAYS ROOTING FOR YOU🎉
There will be no next time
maybe one last time@@Bob-hz6fp
No next time lil bro
He's gonna retire right before that. He's almost 40
@@Chingbong1 his 36 I think so still maybe one more time he might try
Good stuff man, what a tournament, kept us on the edge of our seats till the very end. Congrats on finishing second against a great field and tied for first for the most wins. it will be a good year of chess and content.
You are the reason why I watched the whole candidates, live, from The Netherlands... so yeah, yesterday was a late night for me haha. I loved it. Best of luck in the Cassablance tournament, will be watching.
You are a class-act, Mr Nakamura. Well done providing such good commentary/insights one both the good days and the more difficult days! Really appreciated.
Yooo. You certainly gave us all a show and out of a heck of a fight. Good job out there, it was awesome watching you fight your way back into contention.
Great analysis and kudos for the respect you show your opponents and the way you take your loss. You are a great ambassador for the game. Hopefully you will get a shot a the world title once. Already looking forward to your coverage of the battle between Ding and Gukesh!
Boa Duvet, the pain is unbearable, two years for this moment, I can't have hope for another two years, this game is truly brutal.
Bruh you made me cry 😢😢
love how you ended the game with all the pieces gone. it was a pretty ending when you were stuck with a draw. your journey throughout the candidates was exciting and fun to watch. you always showed up to play. thank you again for all the recaps. it made it even better for the fans. good luck recovering.
Hikaru, it was an absolute joy to watch you during the candidates. I rooted for you in the end and was hoping Fabi could benefit from your draw, but regardless of outcome it felt good to really care about the outcome (with a minor heartbreak it didn’t come out the way I hoped). Thank you for bringing chess into my life in a new way
I've lost tournament games that affected me so much it was hard to talk about them with anyone for at least a few days. So I'm just imagining Hikaru coming to break down this analysis for the ENTIRE WORLD immediately after the game, and it's just an astonishing to see this level of poise, fortitude, and professionalism. Besides that, he must have been mentally and physically drained at the time he recorded this. Huge respect for you Hikaru! Looking forward to seeing more of your content and competitions!
If you got paid for talking about it then you would too lol
Or maybe he jsut like looking this ,, can't really put money when he already have a lot of them ,well if he was poor we could have understood the desperateness@@Emoechaiti
Total bullshit, get a life@@Emoechaiti
It’s a matter of personality. Luckily we aren’t all the same. Hikaru certainly brings what it takes to being a successful streamer.
amazingly he did push so well after two bad games against Vidit - which could have been game changers had he gotten a draw or win in any of those.
Great run! Thanks for all the content, really enjoyed it
So so proud of you Hikaru! It's my first time watching the Candidates and it was such a thrilling experience watching you play. Especially how you make you day everytime you win a match. Ofc a little sad that you were so, so close to winning, only lacking a bit of luck, but still so proud of you. Your hard work and dedication in trying your best, coming back and doing the recap after every match no matter win or lose is truly so admirable. Love you Hikaru
The real action happens on Tuesdays anyways. Fantastic showing man, loved watchin the recaps!
Seeing all the supportive comments and Hikaru liking them all is so heartwarming. You did amazing Hikaru, I'll be watching again in 2 years and rooting for you all the same!
Really intense seeing you getting a bit emotional at the end of the stream. It was an amazing ride, thank you so much!
Thank you so much for all the recaps! It truly was a joy watching them throughout the tournament.
Great Candidates Tournament! Lots of drama and many ups and downs for all the players. Thanks Hikaru for a great showing and for sharing with us your post game insights.
Not a Hikaru fan. But damn, you held your ground so well 💯 I'm sure your rising trend will continue. *Chess is never over!*
I love that he immediately posted a video right after. Both players put up such an impressive fight on the board, that had to be one of the most gripping tournaments I've ever watched.
Your games together with the very instructive recaps made the tournment even better. Thanks and congrats.
Incredibly proud of you Hikaru, have been rooting for you throughout, you are absolutely amazing!
Well played Hikaru, would have been great seeing you as a WC but youre still incredible keep your head up!
Dude you are really awesome for doing this after that last round. Great tournament Hikaru. I enjoyed it immensely. 😊
I was rooting a lot for you cause throughout my experience of online chess your videos were not only entertaining but also motivating for me to keep coming back to the world of chess, it is truly a heartbreak of this result but regardless we love you Hikaru ❤
You done so well! Happy to see you’re not overly disappointed, since Gukesh played an excellent game and there wasn’t a real winning chance in this game. Kudos to your performance and engagement with all of your fans! With best regards from Germany 👋🏻
You've already gotten a Great Job in this tournament, that's okay if you didn't win, just as the saying goes "You already won the lottery, so you don't have to try to win again" Congrats on your achievements, HIKARU!!!
when you started talking about how far you've come on your stream after this game you made me cry as you choked. Even with this result, you are still a winner Hikaru, have a good long look at the mirror and smile, for you, your loved ones, the things you've accomplished and the memories !
Great player, great sportsmanship! Loved your games man, very dynamic, so fun to watch, thank you!!
so fair and respectful. Thx so much that you involved us the whole tournament. You are so big Hikaru
Magnus : Gukesh will loose some , win some game , put him will do poorly category Gukesh : (This comment is about Life , pls don't get offended if you are Magnus Fan just like me)
Magnus not a some kind of wizard. He talk with his experience against them. Gukesh new compare to others. we still don't know how strong he is. Its like compare rohit sharma or kohli with newer player. we all bet on rohit or kholi but sometime newer one perform well in tournament.
Did you even watch the video?
Vishy said the same
@@johnniewalker8186yeah moreover pragg is magnus favourite.
Thank you all for your response, but just telling you about, one can't predict others future just by Ratings or past performance You don't know how stronger they are from Inside.
I love this format of doing a recap after each game and would welcome similar content during other tournaments!
Your content was second to none these weeks. Thanks for making classical enjoyable. Your analysis really made the difference. Also GGs, it was astonishingly close.
Absolute legend. Fair play for a cracking tournament. Sad we won’t get to watch you in World Championship. Thank you for the exciting chess and entertaining recaps.
You, Fabi, and Nepo are absolute champions. Thank you for giving us these amazing games and an exciting tournament!
Isnt gukesh a champion.. why you leave him?
@@rev_krakken70 He's already going to get his glory from everybody everywhere and the title. And that's much deserved!
@@urbanjokey33average American cry baby 😂
Only Hikaru played more than expectation. Nepo and Fabi didn't
Lol y so insecure @@rev_krakken70
Way to keep humble, while fighting the good fight, having fun with it for the fans and giving credit to your opponents for good play. Love how you stuck this one out until the end. You do yourself and your sport proud, sir. Nothing for you to be ashamed of.
as a great man once said, it is what it is and gotta move gotta move so here we are! Gotta keep moving on to the next one. commiserations for not clinching the championship and super respect and thank you for all the energy and fun you've given to us the fans and the sport in general! my first candidates but surely not my last
gj Hikaru! You played great and it was a blast to watch :) gl in the next tournaments!
Hats off to the sportsmanship in you! These recaps along with Levy's boosted the festival that was the 2024 Candidates.
You are an absolute legend Hikaru. Glad to see you smiling. There's still so much glory for you ahead. Keep moving forward like always
Great review and insightful conclusion. Subscribed to your channel right away!
It was an amazing comeback. Thank you for all the work you put into these recaps. Hopefully we will see you competing one more time.
Thank you (and the other players aswell) for an insane tournament. ´Tension from day one until the last second, incredible opening variety, everyone gave what they had. Chess spoke for itself and i had a blast! All the best, Martin
Bro, I literally just watched the match. When he ends the match does he say, "Sorry no interviews, I need to stream as I'm a streamer first and a chess GM second."
Well played Hikaru! Thanks for all the recaps right after the games. This type of coverage and content from a competitor during a candidate's tourney is surely unprecedented?! I mean, its suspiciously unprecedented... ok we start the procedure
Hell of a tournament Hikaru!! Loved watching and rooting for you, thank you for the excellent recaps from a lowly 1100
Amazing chess. Congrats on how far you came. Be proud of how strong you played!
Believe me when i say this - Almost Every Indian was rooting for Hikaru..after Gukesh for obvious reasons.. ❤ from India Hikaru... You r a LEGEND..no matter what..✅
Amazing job Hikaru. You’re an incredible player and fantastic as content creator as well. I’ve enjoyed a lot this recaps. You’re my champion! 💪❤
Thank you for everything you do! Your games were incredible and your recaps very very nice!
Your awesome Hikaru, I truly hope you decide to play the candidates next time because your still at the top of your game. I was rooting for both you and Fabiano but was heartbroken when you had to draw. Keep it going dude, you give hope to us regular people. I wanna see you have that world title at least once because you do deserve it
Your channel is great for people like me, who gave up on playing chess a long time ago, but still enjoy watching it. Your videos made it so I could follow the candidates tournament with a deeper understanding. Thank you, much appreciated!
Well played Hikaru and thanks very much for the awesome recaps throughout the tournament!
Thanks champ! For your amazing fighting spirit! It was an amazing tournament. Also your recaps were the best❤ You are the People's champ🙌
always liked seeing your recap as a GM you talk about everything from a human's perspective. Seeing what the computer says is drama and definitely a good time still. But understanding what is a realistic move for a person to spot is great.
Amazing tournament and thank you for all your work with the recaps. You scoring those three wins in a row was absolutely thrilling!
That was still hell of a try! Great tournament. Stay strong, Hikaru, you are a great player and a great human being.
Awesome run in the tournament Hikaru, not only because of that win streak you pulled off after second game loss, but also the immediate video uploads even while the other games were ongoing. That dedication is a victory in itself !
congrats bro, great watching you!
New fan (new to watching chess, and finding players such as yourself to watch). I was glued to the computer every day of the tournament rooting for you to win. You put up a heck of a fight and that's a win in my book. I'll be watching.
GM Hikaru thank you for showing up and showing out in the candidates! I was concerned after the first 7 rounds then my man found another gear and rattled off 3 wins in a row. Crazy stuff man, made for a wild finish, and a memorable tournament. You're the most entertaining chess player period
Commesurations Hikaru 🙏🏻 Just love how professional you are to come out with thia video after a long ans heartbreaking game ❤
Damn man, I don't know how you've maintained this Zen attitude through all this chaos, it's seriously impressive. Thanks for all the recaps, it's fascinating to get this kind of insight.
What a treat that everyone played so hard and that hikaru was willing to recap everything he did. Thank you!!!
Absolute class from Hikaru, really appreciated this game analysis, and it's very inspiring to see a competitor with a mentality like yours.
Hikaru - Giving it all over the board,.,.,and giving what's left after each round with the recaps...is...the definition of masterclass..
You fucking crushed it in this tournament man. Really awesome stuff towards the end, congrats and there’s always a next time.
