Hikaru is awesome to watch. He's headed to the candidates where I hope he takes it. It will be amazing for chess to see him compete for world championship.
Carlsen has a huge plus score against him though, I'd expect the match to be extremely one sided. Something in Nakamura's style doesn't work against Magnus.

>Hikaru will get wiped by Carlson. Hikaru is a blitz/bullet player, not classical. They are different games. I can personally attest to this but Hikaru has been unusually strong in classical in his return. Hence why he's headed to the candidates. Also remember... Hikaru might just end up being champion. Carlsen said he'll only fight firouzja.
I don't think Carlsen would actually give up the title to Nakamura without a match.
Oh ya I agree, I think such a competition would be amazing.

Hikaru instigates too much drama and whines way too much when things don't go his way. Not a fan at all. The best chess streamer is Danya, without a doubt. Those who know, know.
He's very impressive to watch. Whenever I play blitz I can get easily flustered and end up playing terrible moves. He will have 10 seconds left and is still explaining things or just casually chatting and still playing at a high accuracy. I get why people like him. I agree though. He can be difficult to watch. He acts like a small child when he loses, even sometimes when he doesn't. It's really not surprising to lear…

To be fair, something in everyone's style doesn't work against Magnus. Very few (if any) top players have a winning record vs him.
Dr Disrespect is a popular game streamer
Similar to Fextralife, and how they use their gaming WIKI website to feature their livestream and inflate the viewership on Twitch
This should be against the TOS imo

He and Hikaru have different different approaches, with Nakamura being a grandmaster and so has much deeper potential for analysis of his own positions, but agadmator is nevertheless a daily-watch for me. His channel is my favourite thing on YouTube.
do you pause the video or just enjoy the show?
