At 13:54 someone commented that Nepo had the plot armor LMAO
Wow
Crazy game
NEPOOOO
Hikaru was winning and spent like 40 minutes on a blunder
Nepo shall win it yet again this year
What a game! If draws then only like this! Brilliancies on brilliancies, only correct moves, dynamic positions with incredible complications
Too much for my 2 bit brain cell.
lets go HIKARU!!!!!!!!!
Nepo is a mad man !!
This title made me think something really dramatic had happened but it was just a draw by repetition lol
Such a great game, and loved the sportsmanship and mutual respect evident between Hikaru and Ian in their immediate post-game chat.
Always love when these two play
ngl hikaru deserved the win
This one hurt
Why does the chess board always take a background role in these broadcasts. Show the fkin board, I don't care about Nepo's nose hair
Pls zoom in on the game. Although they are handsome, I’m here to see the game pls. Ty
Just so you know these guys hate each other
We don’t need Nepo winning again just to lose in the Championship… again
Very tough battle, here!
At 2:02 he tried to grab the mouse again!!
Hikaru in Online chess: 😎
Hikaru in Board chess: 🤡
We all know that Hikura is a genius, but he's also a bit of a drama queen.
lol around 2:02 nakas hand that is crazy!!
Hikaru missing a4 idea.And he drew.😢
Hikaru should make emotes of himself and sell them. He has a face for everything. I was hoping I would just see the board here but he's wincing and groaning for the camera as usual.
hahaha these camera angles
You know, i'm just going to say it, I think Hikaru maybe cares a little!
Somebody check Ian for beads
Hikaru is the most emotionally transparent player in all of chess.
welcome baaaaaaaaaaack to today's video
nepo vs hikaru is always a battle of facial expressions 😂
Long think wrong think
Love Robert's enthusiasm for the draw!!
Amazing game i love it game attack attack attack …goodjob ian nepo and hikaru
Hikaru really looked like he DID care.
Why is the Russian flag banned in this competition?
This draw is a win for Black and lose for white. With those much materials, white should have won. Credit to Nepo.
Facial Expressions from both players is just so funny
Action, suspense, and sportsmanship.
Hikaru was probably really relieved when he got the draw.
Whatever He literally doesn't care.
Why they don’t put a Russian flag for Ian ?! Because all the organization are controlled . Ofc
Hikaru always more busy with how his face looks on cam, instead of focusing on chess
I like how Hikaru is going all out against everybody. He is the most exciting player so far…
Nxh3
just spectacular
HIKARU
Nepo is always gangsta until Magnus enters the room
What a fantastic game. My two favourite players playing accurate yet swashbuckling moves all the way through. Superb fun, a draw is the right result with both operating at such a high level.
