Drama in Bullet Chess Championship Final | C-Squared 

Both trying very hard not to upset Hikaru. Awful!

How can you be this biased towards Alireza. Imagine Hikaru calling ur dad crazy, would you have let that slide? Just because Hikaru has more followers doesnt mean you should keep to his good side. What disgusts me is why did he even posted a fake congratulatory video on twitter

Alireza wanting a short break in between matches that dragged on because of server issues isn’t unreasonable. Hikaru having a meltdown because of a short delay is unreasonable. Hikaru is a diva. That’s why he deleted the Kick VOD. Alireza was better end of story.

Thankyou other commenters for warning me that this was going to be ‘Biased’. You saved me 17:25 minutes of my life 👍

Why are you trying to Water down Firouzja’s victory. So obvious you want to make sure pleasing Hilkaru.

There is zero excuse for Hikaru calling Alireza's family crazy on live stream. Cut the bs.

Hikaru “the jealous child” Nakamura

Both christian and Fabi seemed biased over Hikaru

You may "objectively" calls his victories luck. But obviously there are like 3 players mastering all formats in chess and firouzja is absolutely one of them.

Sad to see the huge lack of objectivity from Caruana and Christian...Alireza had a right for a 20 mins break cause the previous match was delayed. Definitely an overreaction of Hikaru

Firouzja ❤ Bullet God ❤

You both are biased. Beacause of server problems Alireza's previous match took more time. He deserves the rest. Hikaru first agreed but when he started losing he acted like a Devil

Please note those personal insult that hikaru made on face! was at score 4 to 9 on middle of games. So hikaru should apologize right at that moment or being banned immediately. Personal insult is NOT part of normal chess reaction!

but didnt he literally say, that either he takes a break, or he gives the win GIVES THE WIN?, yeah so just take the win and why complaint ? hikaru had the chance to take the game... also man it takes energy to play such intense speed games..

Idk why some ppl is still defending hikaru about his attitude saying its justified. 1st of all i will agree the break Alireza demand was unreasonable given its not following the schedule. But calling some1s family crazy along w the f and b word?? For some reason Hikaru also decide to called out chessbrah just because they are commentating. IF U GUYS STILL THINK HIKARU IS INNOCENT, just remember he actually deleted the vods from that stream JUST so most ppl cant see the clips. Hows that for innocent? Hes literally deleting proof. If some1 callled ur dad n brother crazy what would u have felt?

I don't understand Hikaru's 'side' at all tbh outside of one minor detail. From everything I've read upon this. There was supposed to be approximately a 20 minute buffer between when Ali's prior match ended and the final starts. The website they were using was fucking up and caused the match to go longer than it should have (Not Ali's falt) so therefore, he should absolutely be afforded the 20 minute interval in between games. No one should have had to 'ask' Hikaru if he was okay with it, but they definitely should have told him what was going on. Idk why you're ever let someone sit there for 20 minutes. We're all online and on the internet, we're not having to send physical mail across the country. It takes literally seconds to let him know what was going on. As for tournament sponsors, if you can't wait 20 minutes to protect the competitive integrity of the tournament you're sponsoring then idk what we're even doing here. On a similar note, fuck Hikaru's stream? I don't say that with anything against Hikaru. No issue with him streaming the event obviously, but that doesn't mean we're now making tournament decisions based off his stream.

Why are you condoning Hikky's bad behavior

Nakamura should have taken the higher moral ground and allowed a one hour rest to alireza so that the match would be fair. Alireza was brought in a coffin for the final. Yet he won. Kudos to Alireza. Also it was so un nakamura like to do that disrespectful rant on the phone.

What you do with your kick sponsorship with main page is your business. - Above all players should be given equal opportunity to win. It's a common sense - if one player has already played two matches - then obviously they are more tired then the other. It's not too big of a request to delay the match by merely 20 minutes. Online matches allows this flexibilities then we should use it. (Similar to how letting your clock run out in this format while would be considered very rude in on board tournaments - is acceptable in online matches.) On the other hand verbally abusing/insulting someone and ranting and stopping the match while in progress as a dirty trick to change the momentum during the game should NOT be acceptable. And to complain about other person destroying you 9.5 to 4.5 after 20 minutes rest is just immature.! Ultimately, result speaks for itself.

First bad video from this channel..

This is what happens when money gets in the way of the chess. But chess is not a money sport to begin with, so there's that. Oh well...

Just shouldve said what everyone else including yourselves were thinking. Hikarus a big old crybaby

This chat is biased. Rules are rules. One player shouldn’t be able to unilaterally make changes. Time management is obviously very critical for bullet. Hikaru will look like a jerk if he rejects the delay. That gives Alireza an advantage.

Biased take…

Disgusting behaviour by Nakamura

Hikaru will forever be considered the GOAT of bullet much like how Fischer held GOAT status in classical for several decades and will remain a legend for eternity. It will be at least 20 years before we see a player who statistically dominates bullet as much as Nakamura has. Just wanted to say this for all the haters in the comment section simping for Guccireza.

I'd rather deal with a brown recluse spider than Hikaru Nakamura.

Not so biased like what the comment said. I understand Hikaru. For a player to make demand... it is annoying... Although hikaru did made some mistakes which is not good after tilting.
