This kid is all business. He's not into celebrations, or displays of euphoria, he’s not even into laughing much for that matter. A pretty serious, executive approach. He is just here to win. Period. He'll be a huge star one day, most likely, a world champion in classic. Idk if that will be good or not for the popularity of the game, after an era of big chess personalities, like the Carlsens, the Nakamuras, the Ivanchuks and company; but at least for me, it'll be just fine. Probably more than fine, it'll be great!
