Hikaru, Fabiano, Grischuk? Who’ll Qualify For The Main Event? CrunchLabs Masters 2024 Division Stage
The CrunchLabs Masters is the third tournament of the Champions Chess Tour 2024. Based on their performances in the last CCT event, some players get to skip the first two days of this tournament. GMs Alireza Firouzja (Division I winner), GM Magnus Carlsen (Division I runner-up), and GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (Division II winner) are already in Division I and will start their tournament on July 19, with the other five players still to be determined.

as usual, Tania is horrible to listen to, rambling on and on and on and on, saying nothing
Guys i missed the stream
i like the idea of an open format but it seriously needs to be improved a bit here. one thing about the former invite format is that it ensured highly anticipated matchups every single time. to get the best of both worlds, create a season long point total. the top 8 players on season points are auto qualified to d1. to make sure d1 isnβt entirely closed, d1 should be expanded to 16 players

Hikaru was crushed like a bug

Kramnik brings so much shame on his own reputation. Itβs his own fault his pathetic ego doesnt match his skill. I feel like every time he does this it discredits his world championship win awhile back.

Kramnik is a legend
while i get it, i'm tired of people talking about Fabi's "improvement" at fast time controls. he has at times been #2 in the world at rapid and blitz. people need to understand the variability in Elo at those time controls
"There is a problem with Kramnik's account: The owner is a psycho" – from chat. Had a good laugh π

Until the GOAT says he's done all these players are just pawns for the slaughter. Magnus wins damn near every event he plays in.
