Let's go Alireza!!
Give Ian back his point for blitz. His loss was entirely Wesley's fault. Have some self respect.
8 yr speaks English-great for her!

Alireza smarter than fabiano that match just proved who is better so excited IQ battle
Nassir hates on Fabi no matter what the situation is on the board. I’m very surprised he picked him to win.
Go alireza
