@jorisbuck4073 10 күн бұрын

What I find so disappointing on top of this, is that no one in the chess community really dares to speak out about Hikarus bad sportsmanship. He has displayed this kind of behavior so many times, but no one dares to criticize him because of his influence and fanbase, fearing the potential backlash they could receive. I respect Hikaru al lot for his incredible ability, but this is just unacceptable and people should give him a reality check really. - correction; I just saw a video of Aman speaking out, kudos to him. Chessbrahs are the only ones though.

@@JustinBarnes-qe4tj yes Eric Hansen is a chessbrah, Finegold a few times indeed, Danya very diplomatically with that drama three years ago. But the community as a whole doesn’t speak out enough, especially when taking into account how often Hikaru has behaved like a manchild. Chesscom has a responsibility to secure FairPlay, not only with cheating, but also when it comes to sportsmanship. You simply cant treat your chess colleagues like he’s done so often. But chesscoms interests and their partnership with Hikaru are too big to correct him. Shameful.

Yes, he offered to withdraw and give Hikaru the win. But Hikaru agreed on a 20 minute break which he regretted it later started ranting upton his loss.

@jaconova 10 күн бұрын

Not really or not exactly. After beating Danya, Alireza said to the organizers he would rather withdraw from the finals, as he was (understandably) exhausted: so the organizers negotiated with him and gave him some extra minutes (17m according to Hikaru) just to keep the whole thing going. Hikaru could have made a case right at that moment and refuse to play, but he started playing anyways. The match started 4-3 in favour of Hikaru, but then Alireza started to steamroll him (6/0 winning streak): that's when Hikaru retorted to the now infamous tantrum, effectively stalling the match for at least 10 minutes (clock was stopped).
