Some impressive scalps there!
Yes, Hikaru is quite resourceful. He has a knack for changing the position in a way that makes it look easy (when seeing from his POV). When watching from the other side of the board, though, his moves (and speed) resemble an engine.
I actually wasn't aware that his fans were known for that. A shame. Though I suppose it's not surprising.
Now all you need is to be featured on a Magnus video, and you'll earn a GM norm by default. 
I watched that video too, 4 minutes after release.
I remember when he was obliterating the 1500 pool, and I was thinking that it would be so easy for me to beat him, as a high and mighty 2000. It still kinda feels that way in my mind, especially if I know I'm playing him specifically, but when I see the newer videos, I know that realistically it would be much more difficult. He manages to close the position and build a clock lead without allowing any decent trades in a way that's hard to to understand until you are actually playing him.
There was a sniper earlier in the speedrun that used multiple different accounts. He would troll during the games, and every time he was blocked he would return on a another account with a similar name. Maybe that's why people messaged you, although of course there's the possibility of it just being dumb kids. Every large fanbase has dumb kids.
It was interesting that he responded to the chat messages encouraging him to block you by saying that blocking doesn't prevent you from matching with players in the pool. This is weird on multiple levels. Firstly, it implies that if he could, he would. There was absolutely nothing suspicious about the games, so it's wild that he would be that salty. Secondly, as is commonly known, blocking does prevent you from matching with that user in the pool. Third, Hikaru isn't ignorant of that, as evidenced by the fact that he blocked 6 or so accounts used by the sniper mentioned above, with the purpose of preventing them from pairing.
The tilt was funny. He repeats "my mouse is getting stuck" but it's not actually getting stuck, he's just premoving into checks, which obviously doesn't work. He does this a lot when losing.
GG on the games. Beating Hikaru, even without a queen, is a monumental accomplishmet.
I saw a lot of his games with the anthonychess69 person and i really can't understand why a 2900 rated player would blunder so much. That account really looks like an alt to me.
He's currently 1st in bullet here, i'm still confused as to if he's cheating or not.
I see he's played alot against @anthonychess69 which looks like a suspicious account, or even his alt (they play the same 1.d4 2.c3 as white and 1...g6 as black). @pawnprabu321 seems to also be involved in the rating manipulation. It's a shame, but I'm going to have to report him.
But both accounts are from different countries.
I can set my flag country to anywhere I want.
He should be banned, he probably has multiple accounts that he just wins from. How come he hasn't been banned. He isn't even a titled player

I think ehs a legi t player, daniel Naroditsky Knows him, he says he's a rising talent.
As I saw, he has not been playing in his lichess account since august, I think he was doing such strange things because of the red message that says he doesnt follows the rules; really strange.
Arkadiy is banned on lichess though...
Hi guuys
happy thanksgiveing tomarrow
He has a Fide rating on his account now. Apparently, he's 2777? Idk how I haven't heard of him.
He played against Andrew Tang recently.
I'm pretty sure he is anhghOst24 from lichess; both of these accounts farm from different accounts. Also, anhghOst24 just got banned from lichess, so he is moving to chess.com
nah bro he is still playing

Dude I am 9 years old that's offensive to kids like me
He had your number in the first two games, unfortunately. (I imagine these queen-sac games can be quite tricky to manage in bullet, due to how unusual they are.)
When I got matched with him I expected to crush him easily. I honestly couldn't believe how hard it was to beat him. Even down a queen for a piece and pawn (so 5 points of material) he somehow found ways to cause me all sorts of problems.
I've beaten Hansen, Bortnyk, Erigaisi and a bunch of other 3000+ monsters, but Naka's power was on completely another level.
In blitz or rapid it probably would have been a different story, but with only 60 seconds on the clock, playing against an opponent who is moving instantly and has absolutely no respect for me, it is a terrifying combination.
By the way, after that video went up, I got a few messages from Naka's fans calling me a cheater, stream sniper etc. which supports the well-known rumor that whenever Naka loses his fans will harass the person who beats him.
