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]

😂😂😂

[@NhatLinhNguyen-ru5lf]

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

[@ItsTerry69]

Bro tru

[@ekaputra5280]

@@NhatLinhNguyen-ru5lf Im leaning towards stupid plus her question is stupid aswell.

[@NhatLinhNguyen-ru5lf]

​@@ekaputra5280Do you speak a foreign language? Her accenr indicate that she maybe speaks Russian as native, thus she speaks 3 languages (1 badly though haha).

[@madonbarma2531]

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

[@user-dj4pq1sh6o]

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

[@shivanshpayasi3653]

Hikaru walking normally and giving meme expression to every camera

[@milesreynolds4943]

Should be titled "Hikaru and Nepo emote irl"

[@Parth.Pandit]

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

[@diwataluna]

Ding took revenge for that declined draw 😂

[@xedwyn6244]

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

[@QuinnMakesGames]

"Why would you ask this?"

[@incash-zm4rl]

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

[@ohno-wi1vb]

7:56

[@bug_nici]

These are such crazy moments

[@cosmovg9955]

Nepo mannerism r just too funny 😂

[@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

[@tree9171]

Im gonna miss rapport in this candidates

[@JokidouPGM]

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

[@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!!!

[@benjaminewing3472]

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

[@MentokTheMindTaker]

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

[@rakshanm834]

Ding is too adorable🥰

[@luwi8125]

The green text bubble is in the way.

If I was WCC and they asked me "Who do you want to face?" I would just say "You."

[@yashbudhane6343]

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

[@zchesiq]

honest to god, i'm so in love with Nepo. It's like a chess nerd package

[@Tarif2809]

My friend who is better than us all at tournaments does the Hikaru face all the time

[@jcbdwsn]

More Jan Gustafsson!!

[@zoklev]

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

[@zoklev]

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

4:13 bro is a cutie patootie

[@NormChess]

04:12 bravo sabo paşa

[@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.

[@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!)
