Keep fighting. It was an exciting classical game. I really enjoyed your trips to the confessional booth.

Analyzing your games especially your loses is how you keel improving in chess, with this he is still preparing for the rest of the tournament while makes content for his channel, 2 things in one

[@kkianj2615]

Well , didn't know editing the comment would erase the like by Hikaru 😂

[@sepehr2012]

I really liked the way you introduced your opponent, "a talented Iranian player, Alireza Firouzja, who now represents France" ❤

[@_pjd]

Alireza has acquired French nationality and is now Iranian/French. Hikaru's statement is not 'accurate'.

[@ramadhanies8178]

Whats wrong with iran???

[@sepehr2012]

@@_pjd It is accurate. Alireza only represents France in every tournament. It's not Iran anymore.

[@haidenmurray6359]

Huge Hikaru fan, but I was extremely impressed with Alireza today. He found like 20 top engine moves in a row, couldn’t get over the amount of great moves I saw in the game, wow!

[@jackpeters7464]

FAGamura is weak and nothing but a pompous loser.

[@genthalilaj6662]

I like that Hikaru recognises Iran 🇮🇷 and specifies it that he now represents France that detail I think is very respectful to Alireza and his country 🤝🏻

Isn't he also French now, making him Franco-Airanian?

​@@raymondsublett3108What is your point. You Magnus fanboys are so cringe. This comment has nothing to do with Magnus yet here you are inserting it into any comment about Hikaru like you can't help but scavenge away for any little bit of dopamine in your parasocial dependency. If you have a comment about Magnus then man up and make a comment about Magnus independent of your insecurity over another person's appreciation of Hikaru.
Your parents failed you.
