    I can't believe you managed to draw GM Hikaru. Are you sure he wasn't letting his puppy play while he was using bathroom? I have hard time believing he played this and couldn't win. Seems like your anti-Hikaru/GothamChess agenda is fueled by elo jealousy. Maybe if you work really hard you might be able to draw GothamChess or the real Hikaru...

    New chess fans are so unaware of the years that Hikaru was thoroughly disliked for his attitude/sportsmanship. The famous saying "everyone has a Hikaru story" still holds true today. What a tool. Edit: Not advocating the "hatred" that some seem to be freely expressing. Its still free Super-GM level content. There's far more dignified streamers to support though!

    You’re spot on. I came in during the initial chess boom, but slightly later than most during it. I had seen snippets or heard about flagging situations etc., but when done against him it’d be hypocritical. I’m not a psychiatrist, but I think Hikaru has some Asperger like qualities. I recognize it because I have some slight ones at times too I feel like.

And a draw with lower rated player hurts him. But here it was just unnecessary

    When Hikaru was 12, he slapped another player named Akeem Gregory Thompson who retaliated by decking him in the face. Hikaru then cowered into a ball and later got his stepdad to formally intervene to have the kid Akeem kicked out of the tournament. You can look this story up. What a gigantic tool.

    And then you actually look the story up and see that you twisted facts and don't take into account that Akeem was provoking him with a ball to piss Hikaru off. But since you are probably a 400elo Levy fanboy, you likely assumed noone would eventually look it up. And to add on this... he was TWELVE at the time and you judge him about it, lmao... 99% of people probably done worse shit than Hikaru at that age. It just shows Hikaru isn't as bad of a guy as you clowns want him to be if you need to dig around in his childhood to find some stupid "gotcha" moment. Hikaru is a bad loser. So what ? Most people are. They are all here for the money. People don't (try) become chess masters for the fun of it. Levy, Botez, Hikaru etc etc are all here because it makes them bank.

    I get what you're saying and Hikaru really is quite immature and cocky. But uh he reached # 2 in classical chess in the world during his peak, is a 5 time US Champion and the 10th highest rated player in history. He might be considered the best short form chess players of all time, especially bullet. He just beat Magnus in the Chessable Masters Champions Chess tour and won the American Cup. He also won't improve much more because he is already getting "too old." It's kinda hard to make the argument here that the player who throws tantrums is not going to be as good as the calm and professional one
