    No. Let’s be very clear. Hikaru only complained after he lost six games in a row. That has zero connection with the start delay. It’s pure gamesmanship. And it does Hikaru no credit at all. I’ve defended him a lot but I will not defend this. It’s very poor behaviour, and I bet he knows it, and I think you do too.

      @@spnhm34 It's not "nonsense". It's literally just objective reality. He openly stated how angry he was multiple times before the match started. That's simply what happened. There's no room for opinion there.
      He managed to control himself to start with, but after losing one or two the anger boiled over and he tilted. He almost certainly wouldn't have tilted if the match had started on time, or if he had been properly notified in advance instead of being left confused and in the dark.
      Alireza won the second match fair and square. And Hikaru ended up looking like a petulant child; I lost a lot of respect for him after all the things he said. But don't rewrite history just because you don't like the guy.

    Hikari vs Alireza event order:
    1. Hikaru was not happy with Alireza resting
    2. Hikaru agreed for Alireza to rest for 20 min
    3. They played the matched
    4. Hikaru lost 5 or 6 games in a row
    5. Hikaru started throwing tantrums and acting like a kid (at this stage if Hikaru was ahead 5 or 6 games he would have never flinched) The fact that he saw he is being crushed, he started throwing tantrums
    If he agree to the rest and played in the beginning he should stay quiet, focus on the game and move on. OR he shouldn't have agreed. Throwing tantrum like a child when losing just gonna make you look like a child.
    Specially how he went on and did a personal attack and called his family "crazies" like is this how world number 2 should act?

    • @ADNAN0MNM
      @ADNAN0MNM 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +14

      Want to add that Alireza already played Sam And Naroditsky before his match against Hikaru. There was supposed to be a 15 minute break before the start of the first match between him and Hikaru. But, due to a technical issue occuring during his match against Sam the match ended a lot later than it was scheduled to. And Alireza didn't get the break he expected and requested that a break be given.
      Also, Hikaru didn't exactly mind the delay. His whole complaint was Alireza feigned tiredness before the game yet went on to embarrass him like he was in peak fitness. 😆

    Imagine being in your 30s and having a temper tantrum on stream that a 5 year old would be ashamed of, calling your opponent's father and brother crazy, insulting your opponent to his face (virtually) and cussing him out too. And after all of that, you still have people that defend you. Alireza asked the organisers for a break which he should have been given anyway. If Hikaru had a problem he should have spoken to the organisers about it, not be a sore human being and insult his opponent who didn't say one bad thing about him. But hey, Hikaru's American so everyone will turn a blind eye to whatever he does.

      Maybe reading a little too much into this, but maybe Fabi sympathizes with Hikaru because he's a top level competitor. He probably cares more about Alireza saying he's going to forfeit the match unless he gets his break than he cares about Hikaru losing his temper and acting poorly. Just a guess though. Won't know that unless Fabi comes out and says he supports one side or the other.

People keep saying that Hikaru agreed to the break, but at the end of the day, what choice did he have? He was very clearly arguing about it before hand. It's not like anyone was ok with losing money by not having grand finals play out, when they have the most viewers. In fact, I don't think it'd be a stretch to say that if Hikaru refused the arbiters might have just said get bent, he's getting his break, deal with it.

Once when he was asked to switch boards at a tournament and once at the candidates when the arbiters politely told him he was walking too loud. Also, his dad was thrown out of the playing hall during the candidates for arguing with arbiters. Everything Hikaru said about him is true, although choosing to bring it up after a loss does make him come off as a sore loser, but that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who follows Hikaru.

      If it was gamesmanship by Alireza then that’s poor form from him I suppose. He can be quite immature, even though I am one of his supporters. It’s hard for me to buy that Hikaru was somehow impacted by this, however. Was Hikaru expecting a weaker performance and let his guard down? Did he feel that a slight advantage was taken away from him?
      At the level these guys play at, and with someone as notoriously tricky and talented at bullet as Alireza, Hikaru was never going to have an easy time of it so his surprise about his opponent’s level of play is foolish and arrogant.
