When I watch super grand-masters calculate tactics, or play simuls while blinded, I know that they are just built different in a way that I was either never built for, or would have had to begin my training early during development.
- bluedino 5y agoEven an IM (International Master) is blown away by the waya GM (Grandmaster) thinks/analyzes. Levy does a video with Hikaru and he looks like an amateur in comparison.
- paulddraper 5y agoI was trying find that video. I think Hikaru plays him at rook+knight odds or something.
- starik36 5y agoThe video where they analyze tricky positions on their own and then compare notes is pretty illuminating. Hikaru's thought process is just different from an IM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dQzTnvsNG4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dQzTnvsNG4
- aoeusnth1 5y agoTo be fair to Levy, Hikaru is the best blitz player alive and one of the top 20 classical players. Hikaru is better than your typical grandmaster by about the same amount that a grandmaster is better than Levy (250 rating vs 150 rating points).
