Hikaru is an absolutely brilliant chess mind, who can destroy basically anyone outside of the world top 100 while eating a burrito and talking about Spaghetti westerns, while his opponents are deep in concentration and giving 100% of their effort. Meanwhile, Magnus seems to always get the best of Hikaru, and even Nepo. Hikaru is a genius, but Magnus is Stockfish.
