my game #4 against Hikaru Nakamura
Sort:
sad for you
What exactly is he doing the speed run for? Is there a theme (ex. Garbage openings)?

Idk. I think he might have been doing a viewer speedrun. You know like speedrun against all the viewers.

What Hikaru is doing is
1) creating a new username ScrubStomping
2) getting the rating from new user( whatever that is) to 3000+
right now he is at 2400+ at the end of tournament VIII

Yes I know, I am trying the impossible. Hopefully one day the chat will distract Hikaru enough to blunder and allow me to win.
Hikaru during his daily Twich sessions is now doing a TSM speed run using ScrubStomping username. As he is rated 2332 currently and I am around 2310, we got paired in the 1st round.
I am black and I thought I did ok in the opening a sicilian where I have the Black pieces.
but you guys are the judge:
Position 1 :
I am playing a hedgehog type of position with bishops going to b7 and e7. Hikaru is also doing a fianchetto, playing b3 followed by Bb2.
Position 2: I am still in it to win it !
I am playing in the diagram d6-d5, the thematic breakthrough. I am also targetting Bxh2+ so Hikaru is playing f3-f4 but I will take his pawn.
Position 3: Tricky
Hikaru has two rooks but I have the queen. This is a tricky imbalance.
Position 4: Me missing a killer move after white's mistake. can you find it ?
in the end Hikaru won on time.
