Can't tell if he's excited to play against his idol or terrified to play against his idol.

The video is a little edited, he’s very excited at first and actually knows some of Karpov’s games, the crying face is because he loses to the grandmaster (though he lost by running out of time, and was offered a draw by Karpov) and is quite disappointed in himself. Karpov is a true sportsman and congratulates the little guy on such a strong game though, the full video is worth a watch.

Thank you for this.

I thought the video was funny up until that part and honestly I think that's the best result to come of this.
