Daniel Negreanu Learns Chess from Hikaru Nakamura


Poker pro Daniel Negreanu is currently engaged in a high-stakes heads-up battle against Douglas Polk, having reduced the deficit to 484,000$.

In addition to his poker training, Negreanu has been honing his chess skills. He recently took a lesson from renowned chess grandmaster and five-time US champion Hikaru Nakamura. Negreanu shared his experience on Twitter, expressing his enthusiasm for the session and the new insights he gained.

Negreanu streamed his first chess lesson on Twitch and plans to share more chess content with his audience in the future. He also confirmed his participation in the upcoming online chess tournament PogChamps 3, which will take place from February 14 to 28. The event features a prize pool of 200,000$, with 100,000$ going to charity.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes.

Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
