Kinda makes sense for him to say it. Gambits are losing with proper play 99% of the time. That's why they are almost never played in pro play. Queen's gambit declined and that's pretty much it

[@photonicpizza1466]

After Qe1+, king moves away from e8. If Kd8, then the next move, Qe7#, is mate. If Kf8, then 1. Qe7+ Kg8 2. Qd8+ Ne8 (knight blocks) 3. Qxe8# 1-0 (which is what happened). This line took Hikaru a second to calculate, you can see the tiny pause in his move input. The king doesn’t stay at e8, you need to keep that in mind when looking at premoves.

cows in india is a thing.. believe it.. i was sitting in a bakery in goa and a cow walked into the entrance and just stood there, nobody reacted in any way other than some tourists taking pictures. cows roam the streets and you just have to get out of their way especially in places with narrow streets like varanasi. its fun!
