I wonder why? He’s such a brilliant player and plenty young

 

I didn't watch the interview, but according to the article or was stated it was due to health issues related to stress.

Really sad to hear this, it was the Grand Swiss in 2019 that got me into chess.

I recall it was mentioned that he doesn't have much of a support team, I imagine the stress of preparing solo must be pretty overwhelming.
