Idk why but for some reason it felt like Hikaru today was alwyas in control of the match, even with that final close score. He was chilling on stream and dropped some games when he got sleep in font of the wheel, but never felt on a hurry. Meanwhile, yesterday against Fijrouza was a real struggle for him, and he even had an actual breakdown when the match was over.

He was in control most of the match, but watch the last 5 games (one regulation and 4 OT) with the score tied. Hikaru was totally lost in the first 4 and well down in the last game. Hikaru drew the 1st then went 3-1. His resiliency in bad positions is incredible.

yeah I have the same feeling watching that live. He seems to be relaxing, and always in control, comparing to when playing with Alizera, he kept saying he can't find a move... Always felt that he was very confident when playing that match with Magnus.

The speed on these matches is just at another level, even when these two play against other GMs on Bullet they still take some time to think, here I blink and half of the board is gone, not only they are going all out, you also feel like they are somewhat in sync, truly the greatest duo in chess.

What an ending. Similar to Ding beating Nepo. Obvious repetition turned into a win by a quick blunder in time control. Congrats Hikaru.

Along with Kasparov vs Karpov, these are the most iconic rivals in chess.

I don’t consider a bullet chess is a chess. Chess is a game of thinking and enjoying it. The bullet chess is like Brazilian street football (soccer). And the real chess like the classic real football (soccer)

The fact that Carlsen almost won this bullet match when it's supposed to be Hikaru's domain is just insane. Remember the time Carlsen beat Hikaru in 1 1 and people were saying "without that second increment Hikaru would wipe Carlsen off the board". Well, didn't happen.

It wasn’t close though, hikaru played far better and settled for draws when he didn’t need to. It’s also worth remembering that hikaru didn’t lose a single match this tournament. So even if magnus managed to beat him in this match, he’d had to win in another match.
