That was more or less the same reaction from Fabiano and the Chess.com team.

Yeah, except Fabi actually suggested c6-c5 for white initially

I met some chess enthusiasts in a hotel lobby recently.
All they did was brag about how good they were at the game.
There's nothing worse than chess nuts boasting in an open foyer!

Agadmator is having an open tournament tomorrow on lichess.  2 hour long 2+0.  Eric Rosen, Erik Hansen, and Hikaru playing, Magnus rumored to be playing as well.  You might luck out and get a game against one of these heavyweights.  $58,000 prize pool.

Apparently Magnus said he won't defend his title in the next cycle unless Alireza wins the Candidates

Pretty great back and forth between Ding and Nepo so far.

Good fun following this even as a terrible chess player myself.

Magnus is just a machine. Amazing.
