    What makes this truly special is that Weasley had just lost his 3rd place match moments before this. To put that huge disappointment behind, and help prep someone with nothing in it for you, shows what gem of a person Wesley is. No wonder many have said he is by far the most friendliest person in the elite chess scene.

    Hikaru has said before in videos / stream Wesley is a good guy. I believe Hikaru didn’t have a second or coach with him. He was largely prepping by himself for this tournament.

      If you make it a pattern or verbalize it, you will remember it for weeks without trying. for example (you can create your own version)
      (1) king is on c1 and both rooks are right next to the king.
      (2) both bishops are on corners
      (3) both knights are close to each close to kingside (h1) bishop
      (4) the queen is on the remaining square.
      Now that I wrote it like that, I am sure I will remember it next week.

    Wesley recognized that Harry, the dangerous H-pawn, was randomized to the B-file! 1.b3 thus became the obvious opener. Then Hikaru gladly gave away the fake H pawn in order to advance the real Harry to b4. It was mate in a couple of moves. 😁

      I stand corrected, I still feel the title is a bit deceptive as the game is merely starting and it was Hikaru amazing resilience to keep the imbalance in a must win but Wes is one of the nicest GMs ive met so he deserves plenty praise but kudos to him and the boys repping the U.S. in Iceland
