Who'll Face Hikaru in the Grand Finale? Magnus, Danya or Alireza? | Bullet Chess Championship 2023

Massive praise to Hikaru from Magnus.... I'm impressed!

This was the most fun chess event I've seen so far. Bullet probably is the mode that shows best on what an insane level the pros really are. Congratz to Hikaru, he's much more chill now as a streamer and plays better than ever.

Magnus is so humble--literally was tied with Hikaru and lost in overtime, but said in the interview that he realized Hikaru is "so much better than him" at bullet chess

Extraordinary praise by Carlsen for Nakamura, and by Nakamura for Naroditsky. Carlsen (3:26:53): "Oh, okay, so he's just that much better than I am? ...Yeah, fair enough...." (3:27:50:) "But that he was like this much better, I didn't realize. Yeah, it's insanely impressive." Nakamura (3:15:22): "If Danya could actually stop being so afraid of Magnus and myself...I think he also can play completely on par with Magnus and myself... if [Danya and Alireza] can sort some of those mental kinks out, they very easily could win against both of us."

at 14-14 that game . . . was IMO the turning point, you clawed all the way back, and you were winning . . . and Hikaru found a way to take the win away. . . crazy

magnus and hikaru showed once again that they are the final boss in speed chess . seems like we will never see any other players in the final until magnus and hikaru are alive

Bullet championships needs an arena and fan attendance, that'd make this one epic live event.

i cannot imagine someone in the future who can beat magnus or hikaru at speed chess. Maybe we are so lucky to have witness the games of the two greatest speed chessers of all time

So ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ song is secret behind Hikaru’s win😅

Hess & Danny are the dream duo commentators

I didn't expect the Magnus vs Hikaru match to be that close, and I think Magnus was also surprised at how close he got to beating Hikaru. Congratulations to Hikaru on winning the whole thing!

What an exciting finish to an incredible tournament! Congrats Hikaru! Plus, my favorite broadcasting team of all time doing the commentary! Kudos Robert for using just in the Nickelback of time. It’s rare when Danny cannot come up with a response. 😂

I think Magnus was happy because he finally met someone better than himself. At chess. So he could compete again. It s a lonely world being always the best. You get bored. That s why he gave away his world champion title I believe. Just boredom..

It's not really fair they made consolation play 3 rounds one day....... Should have been a day off before big finals. This is coming from a Hikaru fan who wanted Hikaru to win

Hess is the hikaru of commentating

Well done to Hikaru nakamura for winning! And an excellent performance by magnus getting 2nd place. It's his first BCC too.

So it was Chaiya chaiyya what gave Hikaru the power to beat El Magnito.. Awesome

Good game by hikaru i really enjoy that precision checkmate and making magnus frustrating even when hes winning

The evaluation bar was like, you guys play and I will just move up and down😂

Oh my god! So many games that had me freaking out
