7:56 Hikaru carrying around a plastic bag like a true chess player

[@theartofgiving]

I think it's a coop bag too. Coop is a low end grocery store.

[@Theo12900]

In Hikaru's post-game interview on his stream, he said they were joking that without context, someone could look at their game and think it was some sort of long pre-arranged draw.

Why Andrey just want a draw?🤔 Is his position bad? He lost his chance for 1st place.. Maybe bcoz there's still many game left?? Idk

[@LordElwe]

He is still in shared first place. There are 5 rounds left in the tournament. He probably did not “want” a draw but at this level when both players are playing well it’s typically what you end up with. Also he was getting low on time and likely did not want to risk getting into time trouble with Hikaru being his opponent

[@mokshshah5256]

Reason for draw is the insanely strong biships

[@highongaming2553]

He was down a piece also He is still in the top

[@Youtube_Police_Goku]

Hikaru is in good form andrey was down a pawn he will lose if continues Hikaru being hikaru don’t miss a chance of any slight advantage that’s why he always beats magnus in bullet chess

[@dfwatwrmelon9497]

@@KZbin_Police_GokuHikaru was up a pawn temporary, there are many ways to recapture the pawn on d4. Don't talk like Hikaru is a God, there are still many good GMs on top

[@Levhart1]

Why did he call the arbiter

[@LordElwe]

Rules require it for draw by three-fold repetition.

[@Levhart1]

@@LordElwe Yes, but he could have offered a draw directly to his opponent because clearly that's what his opponent was aiming at and his opponent would have accepted, I'm sure

[@brainjustin5250]

​@@Levhart1Pro player offer draw in their games

[@LordElwe]

@@Levhart1No, because according to the tournament regulations, draws by mutual agreement are not allowed before black's 30th move. This game ended on move 27, including the repetitions.

[@vercot7000]

@@Levhart1 No I had to do this one time. Basically some tournaments will have restrictions on what move you can draw on. In this case, you just flag down an arbiter nearby to claim draw

[@dhirajsahare4045]

Who won?
