[tryreadingmore]

It seems to me that the sound was was off a split second when each hit his clock…weird.

[denogray]

That was so hot. That math he did was crazy I know he knew it would have to be a dark space but that was nuts.

[MasterMoose]

I want to see all of the players reaction to a super loud fart

[aaron]

Why Bc3 if only to move it right back to d2?

[sirlaughsalots]

Hikaru dropping his paper at the end is pure comedy lol

[euaggelionmartinus]

How long did they play? I can't read the clock

[ChaleZheng]

He could promote to knight instead of queen

[pepechad]

why hikaru didnt take the knight? 7:26

[ArthurBalfour-rqew]

Where did GM Sarana make his crucial mistake ? Anyone?

[joseeduvigisdiaz]

Call an ambulance... but not for me!!!

[stagna]

Knight endgame is always a bitch. Makes players brain hurt .
