Watching this recap after everything that's come out gives it a different context. Waiting to see how it all unfolds

Hans is the ultimate troll in an unharmful way. Love it

17:09 I guess I got Wesley's soul in me today.. I usually play with 70- 90% accuracy.. but somehow I managed to play about 30 moves game today with 99.1 % accuracy and it was not even some line that I have memorized...if I remember correctly the highest accuracy I ever had was something around 93% ..

My tired ass watching this at 4 am: yeah I can analyse a chess game.
