Learn the Smith Morra Gambit with Hikaru

30 Comments

1. Hikaru always chews on his words in the intro

2. It will last forever for me cuz this is some memorizing the board thank you

3. "Being a pawn down you will have to dig into each position." I don't really agree that you're digging down, in this video Hikura is keeping the tempo, not digging. Running on water.

4. How to win black morra gambit sir

5. Wow the forced introduction bro

6. Listened to the first game over 10 times today. Still working still grinding still learning the board.

7. "Welcome back…" thank you Mr Hikura

8. He looks like Mr beast but japanese

9. Arjun used his bow name as chess username

10. 9:30 🥰 my heart smiled

11. I played this gambit without knowing and i was winning pretty much and my opponent resigned

12. smith morra is my favorite way to deal with people who play sicilian under 1500, i already loved the danish and this is very similar

14. I’m gonna be honest..as a 1000 rated player..I’m very lost in your fast explanation. But if I slow down the video I can understand the ideas behind your moves but there’s no way I’m gonna remember until I play these lines myself lol

15. played the default smith morra gambit and found out its a real opening so i came here. crushed him ofc

16. seeing hikaru regularly playing nigh perfect games online in 3-0 time control is fine, expected even. until you realize the guy has played more brilliant moves in blitz than he has OTB i feel like. what does that say about hikaru as a chess player if true?

17. Brutally honest feedback on opening with e4 and gambits. I really appreciate it Hikaru!

18. You talk so much huhhhh

19. Hi from Italy thanks for such a lesson.
    If I may I pose you a personal question, why at 12:35 do you count in spanish?
    Generally a person counts in his first language. Me, for example, with a strong accent of my youth northern Italy dialect.
    All the best to you and your family.

20. This is probably the best instructive chess video on YouTube under 20 mins! All hail the king Hikaru!!

21. Please, don’t ever change how you say “Today’s episode”. 😂

22. that spanish came out the blue ahahhahaha

23. He taught us how to beat erigaisi if he plays the sicillian

24. Smith Morra is OP

25. worlshess shampion shallensher

27. I always feel a sense of ineluctable doom when they play the Smith-Morra against me. I hate it!

28. 5:33 hahaha
