"The true measure of a champ lies not in their trophies, but in the number of hearts they've touched...we love you hikaru

[LionidasL]

Your mental fortitude is crazy to play through losses and disappointments and then come back and record these clear-eyed recaps. You're a phenomenon and you should enjoy your vacay.

[John.B_Doe]

It's okay Hikaru we still love you

[tusharaesthetics]

Can't even imagine how sad hikaru must be right now but still posted the recap that shows how dedicated he is towards his fans and

We all love you hikaru

[bekelek_]

thank you for the games and the reviews, you played really well considering the situation.Wish you a great vacation!

[colonelsanders]

It’s crazy that at this level you can make an inaccuracy of a fraction of a point on move 4 and just never have a chance to come back. At my elo I could hand my queen to my opponent on move 4 and still have a chance of coming back for a win

[SurfCatten]

I was feeling bad for him until he said the second prize was $140, 000 😅

[RomaFan-il]

I watched every single game you played in this tournament, and You really fought like a warrior Hikaru. Even if it wasn’t the crown this time, the way you playedwith so much heart, brilliance, and resilience made this whole tournament unforgettable I’m genuinely so proud of you.

[seth]

Enjoy your vacation Hikaru, well deserved. We will be here when you get back.

Some win over other players in chess, some others win the players hearts in chess.

[otakuelement]

Raise your head Hikaru. You once again proved you are (and still are) one of the best in the sport, and congratulations on such a fantastic performance

every time i see hikaru's videos, my eyes just light up, he brings back to me the passion I used to have when I was younger, I keep watching him and I will never forget these days thanks to him.

[THEmass-qm]

I Wanted you to finish first but you got first place in my heart. You get the smile on your face after a disaster by yesterday. You are a tutor to me. From you only I learnt how to control emotions after something bad goes in life

[iangossett]

Hikaru you have nothing to be ashamed of my friend! You played amazingly and even beat the previous winner of the last freestyle tournament! You and Magnus playing 98% accuracy! Insane, you better not even think of retirement anytime soon!

[HermoineG]

Wouldnt have any finals the other way. You’re who we wished for! Congrats on finishing 2nd, Hika! See you next tourney! Rest well, enjoy your vacation

As someone said before, Hikaru is one of the only 2nd players in sports who will always remain a legend. Keep your head up Hikaru!

[slowcrescendo]

This is such an excellent example of sportsmanship and a learner’s mindset. Awesome to see. Kudos!

[MaanasEkkaldevi]

Hello man!! Don't worry about the loss, we support you!!!!Good wishes!!!

[thewizardmelon]

Freestyle is a fickle beast, even more so against Magnus. It was a pleasure watching and learning.

As always, thanks Hikaru for your efforts - enjoy the vacation time!

[SkepticMaestro]

You've made chess more accessible to all, including someone like me who only rediscovered my love for the game through your streams and analyses. Class act all the way, appreciate your brilliance and generosity.
