@AAMortazavi LOL I think in that case he might get blown away. We'll soon see #BluebaumSweep
English
@DanielKingChess He could do with them a bit more in the air to really succeed!

Nakamura on his draw vs. Wei Yi: "I'm disappointed but it's not an easy win... That's life!"

Nakamura still readjusting to a Classical time control. How many more games does he need?

The final moments of Hikaru Nakamura drawing his game against Wei Yi. After the game, a dejected Nakamura immideatly points out his missed winning opportunity in the Rook endgame. Both players analyze for a little while, and leave - Hikaru and Wei Yi are both on 1.5/4 points.

Sometimes you hit lucky with your prep; and it was in a type of position that was very difficult for Caruana to manage. Great choice. Here is my take on the game: youtu.be/RygzM0bZQ0o

Sindarov: "Of course I never imagined I will go to the rest day with +3, but today I think I played really very well the game & preparing fantastically, thanks for my seconds!" Javokhir said he repeated the line in the game around 10 minutes before the game! #FIDECandidates

@gmmds @GMPeteWells Intriguing. I just don't think he takes the GPA too seriously. Hehe. As a side note, Vaishali plays it regularly.
English
@GMPeteWells @DanielKingChess He’s actually playing a line that he warned against in his Najdorf course! (He recommended 10…0-0 instead of 10…ef)
English
Never underestimate the dangers of the English Chess School! You innocently visit London for an open tournament in December and by March you are whipping out the Grand Prix attack in the #FIDECandidates 🙂
English
@fergus_maximus @GMPeteWells Might do, but depends on what happens with Caruana-Naka which got off to a tasty start.
English
@GMPeteWells Love that he is playing this. Will @DanielKingChess be doing a recap video of this game?
English
@GMPeteWells I think it was a good choice regardless: Anish likes to have more cover for his king.
English
@DanielKingChess I thought so too although it looks now as if Anish was probably quite well prepared. I'm guessing you don't castle queen-side unless you know what you're about.
