Hikaru: "I'm actually winning here somehow." Gotham: "Uh, I don't know. I think Hikaru is just winning."

Hikaru is just too good. I'm in awe really. I'm speechlees. Esp around 24:20, a few sec before, he says "it's prolly a draw if i push the centre pawn. I'll just push the side pawn for a win". I mean how he knows all of that. It is really a honor to see such a legend play. And we get to see so many games for free on youtube. It is really a blessing. Thank you Hikaru ❤
