He often scratches his leg

That critical capture of the knight on e5. You mentioned that most players would look at knight capturing instead of the bishop. But if you look at the position, white's bishop on c3 was his weakest piece, almost hanging, so why wouldn't you start the exchange with it

Good to see vidit winning again against Hikaru !

Now Vidit is officially Hikaru's kryptonite.

Ironic that 5. . .Pg5, weakening the f6 and h6 squares, plays into the (painful) loss. What a game for Videt and what a tournament!

If you can get videos of the players playing in critical moments, do include them.

Vidit 2.0 is a tough nut to crack for Hikaru

Maybe Hikaru should have changed his shirt.

I feel like Hikaru doesn’t respect Vidit in the same way he respects other players in the tournament, and that’s why Vidit keeps pulling off upsets. He feels like he ought to win, and jumps straight into ugly positions without analyzing all of the threats super carefully.

Magnus must shake his head watching these mortals play
