      Gotta love the way he makes a wonky looking move but still crushes the competition. Almost like black couldn't breathe after move 4.

    Hikaru just showed exactly how to create an opening move from white. his first ten moves are perfect every single piece is double or triple protected and the line is incredible. obviously mid game and end game strategy are important and a lot of other good moves happen. but just look at the first 10 moves in minutes 18-19 and you understand why the guy is a grandmaster and ranked 1st or 2nd in the world and won the us 5 times. its hard to attack his side of the board because he's not reacting he's attacking while simultaneously defending. solid try though botez

      @@Sohansen-vr8ph It doesn’t matter who you are talking about, whether against Magnus or Hikaru. Nihal may be able to beat them, but he is not at their level. Just watch the most recent bullet match Nihal had with Hikaru, and the difference is still very big. However, the last time they had a long match, Hikaru adopted Nihal, so he’s getting closer but the ability gap is still large.
