 David a draw with the black pieces against tournament leader Hikaru Nakamura your thoughts. I Guess I shouldn't complain Before the game. I mean I play these guys so rarely these really top guys I wanted to give it everything. I wanted to at least make it interesting for the fans. No matter what happened and Very interesting game. I spent far too long as usual, but And I had my fair share of the chances apparently I missed one big chance in particular, but yeah interesting game You took a long think in the opening especially when he played f3. What was it? Were you surprised? What was going on in your mind at that point? Yeah, I mean partly I was surprised But it was a lot of calculation. Actually, I saw this I mean I saw at least seven or eight moves down into this variation We got in the game and I was trying to evaluate whether I was in trouble or whether I was better I didn't I mean I still don't know Objectively what was happening. I just had so many options in every move as well I can throw in Bishop b4 check on virtually every move. I can throw an a4 on every move I Don't know why I spent so long. It's inexcusable. I mean if I had that 20 minutes later on then I Might have all been different, but yeah, I got to change this. Were you expecting the scotch today? No, but Yeah, I just did the commentary and I mentioned that it was top of my to look at list for the second day in a row My opponents play something that I just forgot to look at so I was kicking myself part of my long think was me kicking myself again, but No, I mean actually the scotch is maybe one of the only places where I'm predictable these days in my So that must have been his thinking and I tried to surprise him as well with Queen f6 And that's why we were both out book on move for so Right now We looked it up in 2015. It seems when Hikaru was at six out of six You played him in round seven and then you stopped him then and now when he seemed unstoppable again in Today's game you had a draw. You're the one who stops him every time Yeah, but I mean last time he ended up winning the tournament So we're gonna make sure that that's different this time, but now I can't complain. Yeah right David I remember in 2015 Now there was a little bit of an incident that happened at that game at the very end Is that something that plays on your mind when you play Hikaru again? You guys drew and there was a little unpleasant exchange. Tell us a bit about that I mean, it wasn't so much as an exchange as him telling me I had terrible chess understanding I didn't get a chance to reply but I don't know. I try not to think about it too much. That's always a good idea What about last night battle of the sexes had fun? I had fun and the guys won so double bonus Yeah, I did get booted out after the first game though. So I was a bit upset. I did cry myself to sleep But no, it was a good night. It's a good night. Nigel kitschy out of the team Are you gonna hold it against him? Of course, of course All right. Well, we wish you all the best for the remaining rounds. Thank you. Thanks for being here. Thanks, Tanya
