@middlewavemw @EmilSutovsky the voyager 1 spacecraft is currently 15 billion miles from earth, and routinely sends and receives data using 1970s tech, but there is nothing on the market today that can keep up with the unpredictable rigors of a chess tournament.

Exciting first day in New York.
So many great games, both in Open and Women sections.
We got a lot of feedback already.
Mostly very positive - everyone liked the venue a lot.
Players felt comfortable to play, regular spectators liked an opportunity to see the games that close, to have autographs and selfie with Anand and Ivanchuk.
VIPs sat right next to Take Take open studio with Magnus and many others visiting by...
But there are several issues related to broadcast to be fixed.
PGN - no single big tournament with a fast time control ever run smoothly 100% of the time. There is no technology on the market. We have bigger team than ever working on that, still it is not 100% of time uninterrupted. Doubling our efforts.
Board view - to be improved.
The focus was on players, but the board itself requires better angles and zoom-ins. Should function better already today.
Welcome to feedback - and if you are in New York, welcome to the venue. Games start in 8 hours!

@LouStagner Any reference, e.g. a cup or a ball, is a reference to an aim point a distance x from the edge of the cup. It can only be #2 - all the others have mathematical inconsistencies as you approach x=0.

@AntonSquaredMe Jeff Van Gundy has never sat opposite inspired Ding Liren💅

@peternewhall @fins0905 John and I are beefing. My birthday was 3 days ago and he forgot. 😭

@fins0905 Honestly, you just sound bitter that @AntonSquaredMe posted recently but didn't give you a public "hello" or shout out.

This narrative about Game 12 being some sort of game for the ages is absolutely wild to me 😂
If you subtracted 400 rating points from the players involved, I don't think any decent player would give this game a second play-through. Seriously.
I realize I'm going to come off as a hater here. But it diminishes true greatness - which both of these players are *definitely* capable of - when a fairly routine game for one side and a *terrible* game for the other side is declared to be brilliant just because of the players/circumstances and the fact that the game was decisive.

John Bartholomew@fins0905
Seeing all this commentary that this was a tremendous game by Ding, his best in years, etc. Winning in the WCh is never easy. But where was the brilliance of this game? It was completely one-sided, and primarily because Gukesh badly mangled a fairly simple middlegame.
