to be fair he'd just beaten Magnus carlsen, OTB, in calssical chess. either way you look at it, cheating or not, dude had to be feeling some kind pressure there.
I'm a lot more familiar with the e-sports medium and it's fascinating how much in common it has with chess. The awkwardness, the body language, players and interviewers, everything and everyone behaves so similarly. If you told me this was all from Counter-Strike tournaments it would make perfect sense.
Maurice got criticized for being the "engine guy" but he was ahead of his time, nowadays you have the 'evaluation bar' in every game. But Maurice seems professional and I don't think he would care too much about MC being testy. Chess is a game of nerves and as a GM he knows that.
Ian Nepo throwing shade at the interviewer for not saying his name with perfect pronunciation and then immediately butchering English is freakin hilarious
I believe Grandmasters’ brains work differently from ours. They’ve spent their whole lives training their minds, so their brains don’t engage with silly questions.
Most of that was funny, not bizarre! As for the testy answers--Either they are upset they lost or the interviewers ask dumb questions (or both like Anand's answer). Then there is Hans, okay Hans is bizarre sometimes.
