I mean because he understands his position compared to hikaru. When it's hikaru, you just agree. Besides, it's banter.

[@elipersky1591]

I wish this event was better organised, no one seemed to understand the rules, even the casters, and people were constantly confused. Could have been a really exciting format but as the rules were poorly explained it was hard to tell who was winning/what had to be done to win.

[@Philgob]

Exactly. Twitch Rivals is an interesting concept but literally all their competitions are badly explained

[@ulissemini5492]

lol watching this i'm thinking the main reason IM Eric Rosen and WFM Alexandra Botez won (instead of hikaru) is because they understood the rules

[@AZCaveMan480]

Amazed at how fast Hikaru is... If he is this good playing so fast I can only imagine how many lines he thinks of in more classical games

[@EGarrett01]

Not that many more. Apparently he doesn't like spending time calculating anymore which might also be why his classical rating is out of the World Top 20.
