I think he finished before he started.

Indeed. I don't think Anna had looked at the clock before suggesting a rematch with time odds. Only giving Hikaru one minute doesn't make much difference when he only uses one second a move anyway.

No not the Fabi Fabi is great 😭I did not take that match in person though was good for both party mutual respect and results too

Never heard of him.

Just for curiosity, why you mentioned fabiano here???

@@rabiranjan7796 Hikaru mentioned him here: 0:12

Coz he’s numero uno for blitz… 2 or 3 is an insult…

Agreed, normally Hikaru is much friendlier. She meant it as a compliment to let people know how good he was, but he took at as an insult.

No he wasnt lol its called being humble the best dont need to brag about how they are the best and when someone else compliments him he doesnt want to take away from her or anyone else there by saying "yeah im better than everyone you are right" so he just says no one cares it doesnt matter how good I am

I honestly think Anna is just super familiar with her opening plays so she struck some conversation, then as the game reached midgame you can clearly see she is thinking and Hikaru probably didn't want to break her concentration with chit chatter even though he could easily win just by instinct.

@@floda_reltihwhat did u comment?

@@Bingchilling22Will we ever know?

I think he just doesn't like being called like a number 2nd or 3rd in the world, but just that he is Hikaru. I mean everyone knows that, so there's no need. Like Anna knows that he is either second or third in the world or something like that, it's not that important truly which, maybe even fourth or fifth, but the point that he is at the very top, that's it, so the question is pointless. I think Hikaru simply has metaphorically speaking less of a mask. Hikaru liked talking about which move was good and not, and he helped Anna, but then she just continued saying to him about being the second or third in the world, you could clearly see that he didn't appreciate this praising in front of everybody from facial reactions, and Anna shouldn't have said it again, just keep it chill simple, talking about the moves or whatever, Anna needs to match the energy sometimes better, when you play someone more chill, you have to also be more chill, Anna, you always have the same energy levels of reactions with all people, so of course you will ran into energy mismatches if you continue like that. Best of luck, love

@@TheMixxon2 TL;DR. Hikaru needs special treatment from everyone who interacts with him.

@@TheMixxon2 I don't know if I would call him "chill". I think Fabiano is chill, but I think Hikaru seems adversarial in an indirect way. Like through subtext or innuedo or some indirect way like that. Like how on his channel, he made a video with a lot of dry humor and subtext. He really did seem like he had beef with Anna, even before the rank mention. But yeah, not everyone is going to have the same type of energy as Anna does.

@@TheMixxon2 99% Anna was just trying to make a convo making observations. Observations are conversation starters.

@@TheMixxon2 People will really do some reaching to try and justify this guy's behaviour. It's nothing to do with her comment. My first thought before even clicking the video was "this will be awkward to watch". For whatever reason, much like he is with the Botez sisters, he's always been very cold and indifferent to Anna.

When he said "that was bad" I think that really made her feel like the underdog and self conscious. He should have said "that wasn't the best move" instead.

@@randomnonymous He needs to use kid gloves? That's nonsense.

@@ItIsYouAreNotYour Sure since she is a girl. He should show some chivalry.

@@dougustine More people making excuses for the fact that, for whatever reason, it's always been clear he's not keen on Anna.

​@@CosyBrew She shouldn't press his buttons then. She knows he doesn't appreciate being talked about like that, he just wants to play the game. Unknowingly or not, she put him down as "number 2 or 3", as in that he hasn't been nor would be number 1. Every chess player that's gifted but not named Magnus Carlsen in this era has already heard a million times over. Meanwhile, he can't criticize her because she's so far out of his league, it would be the same as if you or me were playing a toddler. And that's why he declined a rematch. There's nothing to gain for him.

He probably feels a little salty that someone 1 millionth his equal can rival his popularity by being pretty (he is not) and having a good personality (he does not). Fabi, on the other hand, has matured beyond the mindset of a 6 year-old and is happy to share the spotlight.

The Hikaru hate is crazy

@@Iannypoo85it’s hilarious that yall can’t simply stomach the fact she’s just genuinely annoying she was definitely annoying Fabi too bro just know to play it off and act right on cam hikaru just simply sees the gimmick in this chick as anyone who isn’t a 16 yr or some porn addiction weirdo lol

He looked and sounded tired to me. Also note that Hikaru's wife also plays chess, so A. he doesn't dislike all women who play chess and B. he should at least act disinterested in other women.😉

Also, as a celebrity, I think he'd rather play someone who would never get another chance to play him rather than someone who has already had the chance.

I agree with you there. Something feels off.

He doesn't like Anna for some reason. I knew this would be awkward.

I really don't like the personalities I am seeing at the top ranks in chess, notwithstanding Fabiano and maybe Magnus. I mean, I haven't seen any real trash talking by Magnus or mean-spirtedness, but maybe I just don't view enough of his stuff. Seems like a lot of toxicity exists, just like FPS games I avoid now. I think Anna wants to be social in chess and don't get it's not very sociable like she wants it to be, like saying "Good Game" with Fabiano. She seemed blissfully unaware that people would take it offensively, like arrogance. I kinda would find it funny if Fabiano would say Good game with Hikaru and smirk, lol.
