I watched a Hikaru video where he was saying he was getting it tough from the English net and the Russian net too. And Russian is his first language, though you wouldn’t know it. As Hikaru said, or tried to say😄, he was easily one of the most erudite guys in chess too.
Had a bit of a moment when Hikaru was talking off the top of his dome about Danya’s knowledge of the history of the game and he dropped back into present tense unconsciously.
He treated Kramnik genuinely at first, and just the continued sewer trawl from him must have hurt so much. It’d be like Wynton Rufer constantly chipping someone for match fixing with zero evidence. But worse than that.
Couldn’t believe he was only 29. Didn’t look young and spoke with authority.
I…err…watched his commentary more than his lessons. Or occasional vids or pods . Tend to do a lot of v bad bullet in spare moments.
