[@_PikeWxRadio]

I've watched Hikaru's YT videos, live streams, and interviews, he doesn't seem like much of an introvert.. You're sitting across from someone at a table and you've done this for several years. Im not saying it should've been a stare-off to see who wins but it was like watching grade school children being shy at the lunch table.

[@vaguetti5977]

You realise he's playing black? white chose this opening. Safe result as he was the leader at the time, draw with black win with white.

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

@@vaguetti5977 That's exactly why he doesn't win tournaments. Or at least as many tournaments as he should, as his talent merits. You cannot "sit" on leads at the top level. Magnus had vanquished his lead within two rounds. By four rounds, others had caught up too. You have to be merciless at the top level and play for every point - especially in blitz. If this was the first time Hikaru had played the 14 move Berlin, I'd say fair play. But he's done it countless times with both colours. And in blitz does it really matter whether you play with white or black? it certainly doesn't matter as much as in classical. If he doesn't win either the world rapid or world blitz before he retires, his will be a career unfulfilled.

This move is called "En passant". Just basic rule. If the pawn move two squares from its starting position (which is also special move) it can be beaten by another pawn (only by pawn), which threaten the square that is skipped by enemy pawn.

@justinfloyd9657 in chess white always has a small advantage in the game since they make the first move. Here Nakamura is black and is leading the tournament at this round and is in great form. White player Richard therefore thought it is ok to make a draw against him, whereas Nakamura with black pieces against a strong player was also ok with the draw.

Rapport wanted a draw, Hikaru didn't want a not-draw enough to play from a disadvantaged position. After the Berlin defence, everything else was a known line which eventually leads to a quick draw. Breaking from the line leads to a slightly disadvantaged position.

[@brandonbuckmaster3077]

This is the ruy lopez Berlin variation where you can get equality early on. A GM Vladimir kramnic devised it when he had to play kasparov and knew he couldn't beat him. Gary was a strong attacking player, so he reduced his offensive fire power by giving queens off the board early. So he figured he would be less of a threat without the queens otb so this variation was his choice of weapon. It's pretty much the opening you choose when you want to draw. I'm fairly certain hikaru was just not in a fighting mood for black and decided to play it safe then chance losing for a victory. But this is my personal opinion. But I'm fairly certain my information about the opening variation is correct. It's discussed in a lecture by GM yasser.
