As a Chinese I can confirm she was asking Ding what the Cuban Missile Crisis had to do with Australia losing a war to emus

[@madonbarma2531]

😂😂😂

[@crush_override]

Her Chinese was so bad, but very brave to speak it in front of so many people

[@ItsTerry69]

Bro tru

[@jonibravo99]

@@crush_override Im leaning towards stupid plus her question is stupid aswell.

[@crush_override]

​@@jonibravo99Do you speak a foreign language? Her accent indicates that she maybe speaks Russian as native, thus she speaks 3 languages (1 badly though haha).

[@Parth.Pandit]

0:04 Ding smiles as Nepo raises his trophy. Such a pure-hearted person Ding is! ❤❤❤

[@madonbarma2531]

Ding Liren walking away while being interviewed by Dina is classic Ding 😂😂😂

[@BeatrizToro-t4v]

Glad he did that. Dina thinks she's the shit.

[@potatoonastick2239]

I love Ding sm. There's this heavily underrated youtube documentary called King Ding & The Deep Dark Forest of Chess that made me appreciate the guy even more. Not affiliated but everyone should watch it, just look it up right now that shit made me cry like a baby with how well it was put together, even if I already knew all of the events as they happened.

[@VandanaBhanarkar]

​@@potatoonastick2239Yeah , its really good

[@indianfan1029]

Ding is the only thing or person Chinese that I dont dislike 🤐

[@drownedcreation]

she's pretty hot, makes sense

[@someonesomebody6148]

this is basically a funny Hikaru moments compilation

[@nealbansal1513]

[@GUTS.40]

@@nealbansal1513who cares when hikaru is there.

[@xedwyn6244]

Love or hate him, you can’t deny that Hikaru is entertaining

[@PleepusPlopus]

"Why would you ask this?"

[@incash-zm4rl]

did she actually say: "Have you ever fired a second?" 💀💀💀

[@ohno-wi1vb]

@@incash-zm4rlthat’s what I heard too, but I don’t get what that even means

[@remkoclam3597]

[@ohno-wi1vb]

@@remkoclam3597 thank you! makes sense :)

[@marioparramurciano4363]

wang hao's queen scrifice and ding liren's knight sacrifice are switched

[@stepanhrbek8151]

Exactly!

[@ThatOneGeniusGuy]

7:56

[@bug_nici]

These are such crazy moments

[@JokidouPGM]

The captions for Magnus reaction to knight sacrifice and queen sacrifice are reversed ! I was confused for a few seconds for both

[@tree9171]

Im gonna miss rapport in this candidates

[@josealbertocortesmunoz1383]

2:20

[@cosmovg9955]

Nepo mannerism r just too funny 😂

[@outis01123]

come on. hikaru is doing this for the memes haha.

[@WaranaSJ]

basically the craziest moments from Hikaru ig

[@ginskm8325]

They not only require the Kramnik module in their cheat detecting quantum computer but also in content editing. Mixing Hao and Ding Kd4!!!

[@MentokTheMindTaker]

Hikaru trying not to look smug in the background challenge? Impossible

[@sabalgaudel8217]

Ian is too adorable

[@aditya_1267]

Ian nepomniatchi isn't leading the candidates tournament anymore 😢😭😭😭💔

[@luwi8125]

The green text bubble is in the way.

[@benjaminewing3472]

Wow it seemed like the overall candidate was just not in Hikarus favor and he knew it

[@egh66]

4:13 bro is a cutie patootie

[@Tarif2809]

4:26 turn on subtitles

[@binks2413]

The many faces of Hikaru

[@jcbdwsn]

More Jan Gustafsson!!

[@TylerMorison]

I feel like although its kinda funny, its seems a little disrespectful the way Hikaru reacts so clearly in front of the camera during another persons game. Especially at 6:15. If he is reacting to poor play by rapport, I think it is a little uncalled for.

[@konstantinospalapanidis6414]

I think he literally doesnt care.

[@zoklev]

why was Ian reluctant to answer whether he has fired a second?

[@zoklev]

@@ayushjoshi7146 I think a second is like a chess assistant

[@carnivalism1042]

Just wanna say that I wanna see Anish Giri in the commentary section or something.

[@ChessExpressPro]

What question did Dina ask Ian? Whatever it was, "Why would you ask this?" is hilarious lmao

[@u.v.s.5583]

Have you ever fired a second? (Such a great question to ask!)

[@cainedavenport1187]

hikaru is secretly jesus lmao

[@u.v.s.5583]

Hikaru crucifies others though. On the board.

[@afaque9851]

They are so cringe always looking for attention and acting like babies.

[@kashikura9523]

Lol

[@ragnablade5397]

[@taliesine.8343]

How should top level players act? Be unnoticed and never heard of seems also wrong

[@shivanshpayasi3653]

Hikaru walking normally and giving meme expression to every camera

[@KofiAmpong]

Wow these moments are sooo “crazy”😮

[@milesreynolds4943]

Should be titled "Hikaru and Nepo emote irl"

[@flipina]

Ding took revenge for that declined draw 😂

[@anday7421]

I love how they take one look at the board and make a face. You'd have to make a feature film of me before I show understanding of the position at hand lol!

[@taebaeko2442]

Sameeeee

They could have just put this on Hikaru's channel lol
