Hikaru: I’m Not Happy, Not Enjoying Chess | D2 #AmericanCup

If Eric and Yassir ever had a conversation, it would be amazing ASMR, but maybe even a bit too soothing.

And he literally doesn't care

hikaru quitting chess really would be armageddon for his fans

Once you start loosing your sharpness, you will certainly not enjoy it anymore

As an indian iam so happy Hikaru was retirement who care 😂😂😂and Now INDIA super power chess.🙌🙌👊👊🏆 Champion INDIA Team chess 🫵👊✊️🏆🙌😡😡

Hans Niemann should be there !

Hikaru on the longest retirement tour ever, and he's just getting started

It's really sad, It's quite clear and vthat he lost his edge due to his age. He isn't as sharp as before and misses a lot of things.

Nakamura needs to stop crying. St Louis needs to replace Nakamura with Hans.

Gatekeeping Hans while having such a negative example of a person as top seed is just weird. Hope the SLCC changes decision-makers soon for the benefit of US chess

You know who would enjoy chess, Hans

why everyone is bringing up Hans? isn't he banned for violent behaviour?

Hikaru is going to retire before John Cena is!

I don't think he looked Eric in the eye once, such arrogance.

Hikaru is always sad and salty. Not even happy after not allowing hans into the tournament.

2nd best player in the world, all he does is talk about retiring for years....imagine what he could do if he got some therapy and started enjoying himself?

As a psychology student its really easy to figure out that Hikaru deep down want to be chess champion thats why he is lying himself that he is not enjoying chess. He is protecting himself from failure that he think he is. It's really common protection from failure when you say you dont like it you dont enjoy it but your doing it every day.

Maybe Hikaru on his retirement tour will also after shaking Fabi's hand will kick him in the nuts and turn heal.

Not believe in rettirement but he will not compete in many tournaments

Eric Rosen is a legend. The other guy is ok too.

Hikaru acting like 37 makes him a senior citizen meanwhile Lebron at 40 is still jumping over people’s heads and chasing championships

mental case naka

I SAW THIS COMING!! Became a fan during the 2021 CCT.I learned a ton since. One major point is because of twitch streaming this guy was playing literally thousands of games a month for like 3 years straight. There is obsessed but there’s no way playing that much chess can be healthy for you

Fischer even said he hated chess

He needs to take himself seriously and stop playing bullet speed runs against 1600s. That degrades the quality of this game.

Where’s Hans? Ridiculous they are still black balling him. Despite his past troubles nobody can deny that he’s one of the top young talents in the world much less the USA.

I'm not sure the reason for all the hate, this is the most reasonable I've seen Hikaru

Where is Hans?

He's been playing too much blitz and bullets, and against a lot weaker opponents. Those would definitely affect his playing strength.

Hikaru spends too much time playing online blitz and bullet games. If he wants to get his mojo back with classical he’s gotta knuckle down and prep more.

I think Hikaru should take a vacation from chess for a little bit.

Nooo…. He and levy got me into chess during the covid yrs.

Hikaru just making ezcuses after loaing, as usual. When he climbed to 2800 again, he loved chess.

Doesn't getting second in the candidates qualify you for the next one?

We're all ready for the Hans era. Hikaru can ride into the sunset.

Hikaru probably just isn't enjoying this as he knows he isn't playing against the strongest field possible. It's basically just Elo slushing here, not the premier tournament American chess could be serving up.

Hikaru we need you in chess tournaments pls don't leave us bro we love you ❤️

Not enjoying chess because he's getting bodied by Hans Niemann obviously.

Sharp could win the next 3 ASL's and Artosis would bump him down to D tier.

Blitz is to chess as a quickie is to the real thing.

It's not fun when your old and young guns beat you

Hikaru: I don't make the titles
So basically his editor is telling him to retire?

hikaru's da shizznit!!

We want Hikaru to play forever even if he doesn't :(

Ew, the St Louis chess club. Disgusting

Unrelated but that's a really nice chessboard and pieces, where can I buy it chess masters?

Its all about chess vision, we tend to lose it at times for some reason, due to stress, being nervous etc, The more you're stressed the less focused you feel and you end up blundering easily.

Interesting nose
