    as usual, Tania is horrible to listen to, rambling on and on and on and on, saying nothing

    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 isn’t entirely closed, d1 should be expanded to 16 players

    Kramnik brings so much shame on his own reputation. It’s 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.

    Tanya Danya are a treat to watch chess with

    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 πŸ˜‚
    44:17 onwards

    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.
