      Well, it's true that he hasn't played classical for 2 years, but the fact is that most of the players had few games because of the pandemic, you can't really play classical not OTB, so it's not an Hikaru only situation. And also it was quite stupid to believe that someone who got past 2800 Elo in his life suddenly forgets how to play. He might not be number 2 in the world but he is absolutely still a top 20.

      To coquet. He was saying that Hikaru isn't serious about his "retirement"

      It's close to "cheeky" in meaning.

      "mock" or "tease" or "provoke", closer to "mock" I think. Basically Grishuk is saying that Hikaru is mocking everyone by saying he's retired

      Кокетничать (coquet). In this case that means "to show off".

    0:59 She probably meant to ask who will be the next to cross 2800 . There's quite a lot of players above 2700.

      If she didn't she still had the opportunity and he even gave her the ball "2800 is a lot more interesting" but she didn't ask.
