I didn't even know Hikaru was married. They have done a great job navigating the celebrity / privacy situations that can arise. She seems really classy. Total opposite to one couple I can think of, that shows it can be done. I don't think these two will be parodied on South Park anytime soon ! She looks madly in love with him as well, the way she looks at him from the start of the match, I didn't know he had a wife and/or girlfriend so I was instantly thinking "aye aye what's going on here then" !?! It seems mad to me this video is just being released now. Obviously not a pair of those "sell my soul for views" kind of people. I like that, it's very refreshing in these modern times. I'm happy they seem happy. Wish these two well.

I've just watched the first game, and it was going really well. The key difference in play was minor mistakes. What I could tell immediately from watching is that the two of you are serious about chess. I knew this of you already, but I'm still new to Hikaru, but I see here that he's a serious player like you, meaning, you both value the highest level of your opponent's gameplay. I stopped at 4:21 and I'll catch up with the remainder later. Thank you for this content 😊
