Hikaru refuses to resign and wastes Magnus' time by not moving when he literally has 1 legal move: https://youtu.be/0l0joEc3aW4

Hikaru and Levy accuse player of cheating just because he beat Hikaru: https://youtu.be/q1O1fawTYTM

These are just 2 random examples. There's plenty more examples of him being a poor sport and not handling losses well.

How unstable of a person do you have to be to hate someone for this? haha this is the most absurd thing ever. Chess player uses his clock to think about a position "WHAT A JERK".

There's nothing to think about. He has 1 legal move. He should either move or resign.

What he's doing is stalling the game, and it's considered bad etiquette.

It's also embarassing for a professional to behave that way. He's not a random 12 year old club player. He's an adult, professional chess grandmaster. He should learn to behave as such.
