The speed on these matches is just at another level, even when these two play against other GMs on Bullet they still take some time to think, here I blink and half of the board is gone, not only they are going all out, you also feel like they are somewhat in sync, truly the greatest duo in chess.

@tator9798 Жыл бұрын

Idk why but for some reason it felt like Hikaru today was alwyas in control of the match, even with that final close score. He was chilling on stream and dropped some games when he got sleep in font of the wheel, but never felt on a hurry. Meanwhile, yesterday against Fijrouza was a real struggle for him, and he even had an actual breakdown when the match was over.

He was in control most of the match, but watch the last 5 games (one regulation and 4 OT) with the score tied. Hikaru was totally lost in the first 4 and well down in the last game. Hikaru drew the 1st then went 3-1. His resiliency in bad positions is incredible.

@teefan Жыл бұрын
