This is an underrated comment. It's absolutely true. This guy is playing his best angle. Hikaru and all GMs practice this level of concentration that's really on the highest level of self awareness in the game. While it's unlikely to shake them the 5:1 time ratio is actually what makes it interesting. Under time pressure all players crack. This level of distraction is really the best chance anyone has to break a super GM. Unfortunately SuperGMs are the closest thing to the definition of unshakeable. I watch hikaru play online often but I always think it's unfair because he's allowed to turn a part of his brain off more that would have to ignore heckling. Great to see him out in the wild crushing it.
Yes but also no, because by the time Hikaru looks away, he's got the game up in his head instead and have already calculated most if not all most likely responses to his move, and how to beat them x'D
@@OneDerscoreOneder Well I guess you do gain some rough 0.2s extra on his clock. I mean the second Hikaru saw movement in his periferal he was eyes at the board instantly and made a move as though he never looked away in the first place x)

This guys should go on tour with Hikaru as a warmup for Hikaru’s opponents! His demeanor would have most opponents so shook that they probably wouldn’t know how to respond and wouldn’t recover for days! 😂 He is naturally hilarious!
