No shame in losing, especially against Hikaru. Dude is an actual behemoth in Chess.
Behemoth? That's one of the weirdest compliments I've ever heard lmfao
@@averagelizard2489 Because you're goofy.

he does…

@@ElisD he is at least 12 years old this game was played like 5 years ago
@@XrandoME basically younger generations are fast learners and for sure when they practice chess they for sure beat old GM's, like me im trying to invent my own openings which helped me counter such attacks, so basically old generations will find this challenging.
The way Hiraku beat that 11 year old makes me believe he has potential to become a great chess player one day.
hopefully he doesnt and instead uses his brain to further society. "The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life."

Respect for not losing it/resigning after the blunder. It’s a tough one to take when you know you have to be perfect

He's the next Messi

Err, ok. Thanks for sharing
@@joeyblogsy he also loved sharing everything with me! :D
@@TheUglyDuckling997 LOL
Wait...... wait, what?
Why
He was actually playing incredibly well until he blundered that rook. He definitely has a big future ahead if he continues playing chess.
I don't know, I think I could beat Hikaru in FPS Chess.
fps?

What's that? Is that like being on the board but instead of playing move you just shoot down pawns, knights, bishops and then king's from a distance?

man this kid doesn't know how to resign
i mean he could still stalemate, not very likely but still possible
@@pauldavidalava547 bro this is HIKARU, not you. It isn't possible for his level.
@@yoimjin yeah thats why i said it wasn't likely for him to do so
I have seen kids at this level are kindly egoistic. But he is a 'kid' so its okay.
He is playing respectfully! It's best to enjoy the additional time. Not resigning is also one of the ways to gain great experience. Shame on you.
For a short period of time the narration of the man makes you believe that the kid has the situation under control, then yoy remember he is GM Hikaru and everything returns to normal status.
He defeated Hikaru twice?? As a twelve-year-old?? Legendary!!!
You are right. It is a phenomenal accomplishment, considering Hikaru's Universe-class skill and that he has over 20 years more experience than Tani. Imagine Tani 20 years from now...
Exactly what I was thinking.
Affirmative action wins
US world champion…😂 I love this way of naming titles…🎉
im glad someone also noticed it
Like american football world champion, 😂
Interesting story, brilliant kid. Would have been more interesting to see one of the wins but thanks for featuring this young chess genius.
You can tell no matter what this kid does in his life he’s going to be one of the best. He’s a great role model for kids around his age.
He’s a great role model for anyone! He inspires me and I’m an adult 😅
He is an inspiration without a doubt.😊
You can see how he is moving in his chair and is completely relaxed and enjoying it lol
The potential is crazy.
Hikaru, 5 times US "World" Champion....wow
you definitely rock these videos. I understand the game pretty well (I'd have to do some matches to get and ELO, but I think I'm definitely in amateur, not novice) without any study. I feel I'll be learning a lot from this channel. Named tactics and such. A simple down to five minutes of any game would probably hold my interest. You make the experience actual fun.
God bless him he's really a genius. When I Was younger than his age i was wishing someone teach me Chess.
Wow, it will never cease to amaze me when I see a true child prodigy in action.
Hats off. Kept Hikaru under control until the the unfortunate blunder, that I also missed. Well played buddy and kudos for pushing on. A GM in the making 👏
Most definitely
Props to him on not resigning!
This guy is unbelievably strong, that’s amazing having thing understanding for the game in such young years
Kid can process new info very quickly, giving them a big jump if they start early.
Every child that gets into something by the age of 4 will soak information like a sponge and thus get good at whatever it is doing at the age of 4. Sadly most kids watch some trash on their phones cause the parents let them, thus getting good at watching trash on the phone.
@@msch2229 You're literally just crying. Are you upset that child labor isn't legal or something? Let kids have a good time and stop treating them like investments for a profitable future for yourself, you're gross.
Exactly. Whatever you train for, youre gonna get good at it. Wether its chess, cooking, sports, or watching trash, smoking crack...
You know the young lad is possible gem for the sport in the next fifteen years you know.😊😊
When this kid grows up he's gonna be a legend
Love the videos

By that time I don't think Magnus will care about it that much. He's 30 now, may be 40 when challenged by this boy. By then he has been WC for about 20 years, if he still is. I think he's not scared at all and would be 100% at peace with the result, whatever it may be. He has nothing to prove.
@@OliverRedit what did he say
"5 time US world champion" LMAO

the way that kid is playing so much confidence ^^ love it
great videos!!! keep it up
As a very casual chess player i gotta say the narration was really good and really helpfull, great work!
0:26 You know, I am somewhat familiar with that move too
Keep it up kid! Great work.
watching these chess games about wold champion chess masters, i never knew chess summaries can be so cinematic and amazing
Amazing talent.
Alright bro some child will soon challenge Magnus Carlson and beat him
Praggnanandhaa or Prag, 16 year old from India beat Magnus in an online game.
I mean a teenager alr beat Magnus it's time a kid does
How nice of this kid to let a lesser known tallent like Hikaru show what they're capable of!
Never underestimate the kid who was once spinning in a chair
This kid is gonna go far can't wait to see his career grow
This is fresh, watching chess match with trance-like music.
anyone knows the name of the music btw ?
I like how you introduced Hikaru as "much dangerous threat"...
so funny how he keeps looking up at Hikaru like he's peering into his soul
I actually have a book about Tani. He is really good at chess for his age. If anyone wants to know what the book is called, it's "My Name Is Tani, And I Believe In Miracles". His story is really captivating and inspirational.
Remember, Magnus Carlson tied Gary Kasparov at 13, this kid still has five more years to tie Hikaru or Magnus or someone similar
Carleton ? Is that his real name ?
@@inperfect_ thx, I fixed it
He is spelled "Garry" btw.
Carlsen*
He already beat him, twice, lol
Wow im UTTERLY baffled right now! This is litterally scrambling my mind. The opponent must me intruengingly flabbergasted to the bone right now!
Prodigy enjoyed this moment to the last moment.
Kid blunders his bishop Hikaru: Alrighty guys so we’re gonna take the juicer, now takes, takes, takes, (stares up a ceiling) alrighty guys this is completely winning I think. Yeah yeah completely winning
Tani just immediately went down after he blundered that rook on c1 then the bishop took it with material lost, safe to say though this is an interesting match with Tani going against Hikaru.
He's 8 for crying out loud. How many things did you "blunder" at 18 with the good fortune no one cared you existed?
One should be very wary of such small kids. Because they have what it takes to beat the older adults out there.😊
He succeeded in playing til the end
5:07 Professional Streamer 💀
Wow very impressive, I hope he has a team that gets the best out of him. He could easely become a world champignion. Hope he reaches his dream.
I also believe that one day he will become a french mushroom
@@kidonthemoon1247 lol he said champignon meaning mushroom

This is so beautiful
Mr sheibel be saying "you resign now"
dude, if I was that kid, I'd have started bawling when I lost the rook.
I'd start bawling the second I saw Hikaru across the board from me

Children have yet to limit their options with opening theories, hence they find creative solutions.
Hikaru is so good at Chess he even won 3 Balon dors
This guy is going to become the world chess champion some time. Defeating the 6th highest chess player is a feat that nearly nobody could accomplish other than world chess champions. but only at the age of 8? That is extremely impressive.
He's not the only one. There are other kids like this.
He beat him at 12 not 8
he lost
He lost watch the video
Yeah, because there's nothing like reinforced Western feelings of superiority and insecurity wafting in the comments; where the dumbest Blanco's are "allegedly" smarter than the smartest Blacks, so let's explain away why we're seeing an 8 years Blk kid do something most can't do as adults. Carry on...

You guys actually think that Hikaru was trying? Whenever strong GrandMasters play against kids the GrandMasters always make a blunder to let the kid get a good move or something.
Cope.
Wtf is “US World Champion”?
rn it’s logan paul
