This was a Twitch Rivals chess event called “Hand and Brain.” Simple concept. The brain (Hikaru) picks which piece to move and the hand (Hutch) picks where to move it. This was my 3rd appearance in a grand finals of a Twitch chess tournament and the first time that I finally won. Was a LOT of fun.

I love the chess content. I wanna see you get even better!
I’d be very happy to see more chess content here. it’s amazing to see how much you can improve just by watching someone play.
Good thing hutch wasn’t playing among us
Hikaru’s reactions are fucking beautiful
This was awesome!
When Hikaru says "king" at 15:00, the correct move was Ke2
holy shit the like/dislike ratio!!! @Hutch
loved this
At 21:11, Hikaru looks disappointed that Hutch didn't take on g6 but if he had, the game was a draw as the new queen wouldn't of covered blacks queening diagonal.
More chess
Good job lol I was getting nervous for you. I can't imagine being under that much pressure with Hikaru
Missed you Hutch!
Miss your chess videos!
Take these sound bytes and make the Hikaru Rap.
lol… you saw the rook move he makes in that position hikaru. why risk a draw like that?
I love how I always see Hutch's move and go "yup exactly what I'd play good choice Hutch" and then it zooms in on Hikaru absolutely losing his mind
more chess videos
Yes I want more chess content, especially when you get lessons
I would love it if we had the inverse in the next tournament, with the hand being gms and stuff
Damn hutch. I remember watching you loads back in Mw2 days, and now, with my new addiction, chess, watching a video with hikaru I see your familiari face!!!!! Happy to see your doing well, looking forward to watching you more for the chess/nostalgia!!
This is actually quite funny watching his facial expressions.
Class collaboration
Does Hikaru go over these games with you after because id love some context into his thought process
Do more chess 👍 love it Hutch.
3:21 that's a bit harsh, ngl…
9:10 not sure what hikaru wanted there, d5 and then what? I know d5 is thematic in these kinds of positions but what after takes for example?
This was funny, I wonder if hikaru used some mind telepathy at 5:34 thooo
What happens if the player is in check but the brain says a move that doesn't work because it doesn't move the king out of the way or give an option to block or stop the check would that be checkmate?
I doubt it would happen but if it did that would be interesting
5:31 someone please tell me which pawn he Hikaru meant
comment for the algorithm
i cried after he missed that first checkmate
Only here for the chess
I want to see more deep analysis when Hikaru was disappointed. I would love to see his intention.
Hutch is actually pretty good i was surprised
Why is Hutch playing with an engine? That’s cheating…
Holy hell! Congrats man.
10.35 watching Hikarus stream?
Always loved the chess content and I was waiting for the day it would come back! Even just some 1v1 content or a road to 1500/1600 series.
This is awesome, continue please
More chess!
Hikaru+1 win a Chess Duo Chess Tournament
That endgame was clutch, there were so many moments where it was really natural to go wrong
Hikaru is so cool
Hell yeah hutch
