The 'mysterious strength' is also a little self perpetuating, as it starts rumours and this undermines people's confidence. Throughout the whole pro exam we've seem people frightening themselves and each other over Hikaru.
Yes, I was just thinking this - the strangeness around his strength occasionally gives him an advantage. It's not quite a self-fulfilling prophesy, but it's close.
