That's such a small drama though.
I was wondering if he meant something like Karjakin is a big Putin supporter.

the type of questions Norwegian reporters asked...I'm really surprised he didn't freak out on him. Nepomniachtchi is a nice person.
Nepo is a great person though
I'm sure Hikaru amplifies some of his "douchebag" personality traits for good entertainment value when he streams.

No... in fact I'm sure he makes a very conscious effort to limit how much he shows of those traits.

I don't think hes exactly the same anymore. Is he arrogant? Ya but very few of these chessplayers aren't. I'll tell you one thing, Hikaru has bought more people into the world of chess then Fischer and Magnus put together. He is also one of the few that I've seen playing on streams with amateur with chess clubs around the country like one of the boys. I've called him an autistic sociopath myself mainly cause I frown upon speedrunning, but I can't front on how good he is for the sport and I will still say he is a good guy that cares alot about it. Him and Magnus both are very conscious of the people and I feel that.
Who did he bring to chess that COVID, queen's gambit, or pogchamps didn't?
He's been playing online his whole life, but only just now became popular... he just rode the wave.

But being rude an arrogant is like almost every other chess player out there. Name your favorite chess player and I bet he is no different. Hate is such a strong word there must be more to this besides those videos you posted.
It was sarcasm. Even if I hate him...he will still be one of the richest chess players.
years passed... but he remained the same!
