6:05 - this is why certain players are good. Hikaru understands that he is fortunate not to be playing against someone better than him, but realizes how a stronger player would go for crushing him instead of blundering in the same fashion - he doesn't self-depreciate with the thought of quitting, he self depreciates because "good" isn't "excelent" and he knows he can be excelent himself. Notice how he doesn't compare himself with the opponent or chat, he states that HE isn't up to his own standards, and I think that's amazing
