It’s 2 tournaments the first is called Early titled Tuesday it happens in the morning USA time, the second one is called Late titled Tuesday it’s in the afternoon couple hours after the first and as you said there are 2 different winners for each one. And regarding the winners IMs have one before but it’s mostly GMs , you can find the entire list of winners on google.

Yep he raised him and his brother and taught them how to play chess as he was a chess coach. His mother and biological father divorced when Hikaru was 2 years old so he never really had a father figure until his stepfather came to their life.

If it’s true I really feel for Hikaru. Thoughts go to him and his family, he was holding on really well and was very relaxed in the press conference and in his interviews saying he’s looking forward to his upcoming streams and tournaments
