What Hikaru said at 26:00 was what I was thinking while watching the Magnus game. I like seeing these games with Super GMs against 2500-2699 GMs. Those are extremely strong players--Levy dreams to be one, for instance--so to see what a Super GM is able to do to beat one is very interesting.

The bravery of Hikaru is second to none, commenting the Olympiad games from home intead of helping the US team by putting his rating on the line. Let's be realistic, it would be a very hard task to keep his rating over 2800 (it's currently 2802), considering the form he's been showing lately, (age doesn't forgive). I wonder if he still thinks Niemman is an average GM who misteriously got to 2700 or he has changed his mind😂😂
