Critical underperformed. Stressed himself out.

Annoyed me how much Hikaru and Levy were hoping for Ludwig to win and ignoring Logic. 

Wonder if there's any engine use!

Yeah, Critikal’s games were frustrating to watch. He had imo the best public chess teacher on the planet right now in Daniel Naroditsky, and performed very well with him in training at a level well above 1000 ELO, but panicked and forgot everything he learned once he stepped into games.

Don’t like listening to Hikaru at all imo, and Levy’s a little stuck up for my tastes too. Ludwig’s my pick to win the whole thing though - the speed and determination with which he picks new things up is crazy

edit: two hours later and Ludwig's eliminated...
