    Plot twist, he's French and doesn't see kings as necessary

    In all seriousness, this is a genius move by Vidit. He’s down to his final seconds, and in such a simplified position, he needs time to calculate if there is any opportunity to save the game. As penalty for the illegal move, the arbiter comes and gives Hikaru an extra minute, but that hardly matters. What matters is that in the time it takes to do this, Vidit is free to look for a draw on the board. It doesn’t ultimately change anything (the position is lost), but it’s still a loophole in the rules.
