Round 8 of the #superchessclassicromania left the battle for first place completely open heading into the final round. Leaders Fabiano Caruana and Vincent Keymer drew their game, and remain tied for first place on 5/8. The winner of the day was Javokhir Sindarov, who defeated Jorden van Foreest with the black pieces to move to 4.5/8, just half a point behind the leaders. Wesley So also reached 4.5/8 after receiving a forfeit point following the withdrawal of Alireza Firouzja. Bogdan-Daniel Deac scored an important win over Anish Giri, while Praggnanandhaa R and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave drew their game. Going into the final round, Caruana and Keymer share the lead on 5/8, with Sindarov, Wesley So, and van Foreest close behind on 4.5/8. #grandchesstour

@MikeSandman62 @SmolaDS @Underdog What is it if you look at weeks 5-18 though? If you set aside the HOU game in week 10, everything after week 4 looks pretty strong to me.

@JoshNorris @Underdog It’s 2026 and somehow Derrick Henry still has the highest rushing yardage and rushing TD lines at Vegas sportsbooks

@NateSilver538 Do you regress the model toward the betting markets? I seem to recall you’re a fully independent model guy

Made a few tweaks to our PELE ratings as we finalize our World Cup model. Spain is a reasonably clear #1 now with ARG/ENG/FRA basically tied for second.

@durarbayli Seems like you answered your own question. If even their haters are already paying/upgrading, what is the incentive to innovate?

I don't know any professional who doesn't use ChessBase. I also don't know any professional who doesn't have complaints about it. I use ChessBase. Spent at least $500 and would have spent more if the features they promised actually worked. I remember when they introduced the cloud database function. I immediately upgraded, so my second and I could simultaneously add variations without sending each other PGNs. Guess what? When he analyzed it, I couldn't see it. When I did, he couldn't. I complained. No fix. We went back to sending PGNs. I didn't learn my lesson. I upgraded again when they introduced mining opening variations. Guess what? Didn't work properly either. Haven't upgraded since. It's incomprehensible to me. You have complete market domination where even unhappy customers like me can't leave, and you don't innovate? How is there still no MacBook version? Maybe now that they've been sold, this will change. Anyhow, the moral of the story: this frustration made me incredibly happy when we were polishing ChessEver Desktop. I was finally able to create the analysis board I actually wanted. It may sound like nothing, but dark mode, no clutter, clean interface. That matters. We're releasing the Beta version for subscribers on May 22.

They assume you’re too busy, too lazy, or too stupid to read the decision and learn that it explicitly deferred to VA Dems’ contention that the Court could not intervene prior to the referendum, citing precedent. They get what they want, and they complain about it. Because it is never about process. It’s only ever about outcomes.

It’s a repeat for Rachel!! Rachel Entrekin is now the first ever two-time champion at the Cocodona 250. She smashed the course record in a time of 63:58:15, crossing the line with a rush of emotion. Read our full coverage of this record-breaking race: bit.ly/3ROWSYj

Getting caught posting from an alt account that’s supposed to be your own mother. I’d feel sad for his loneliness and neediness if he was literally anyone else on the planet.

easy to forget, but Travis Hunter was on the right trajectory as a WR Jaguars don't beat the 49ers without his contributions as a receiver. Same vs KC And during the bye "WR1 treatment" and plenty of coachspeak was attached to his name Then the injury, Meyers trade & PWash emergence happened

that injury during the bye week - followed by the Jakobi Meyers trade 5 days later - is a wild sliding doors moment Travis Hunter, the WR, was trending up

If you want to stay at Caesars properties for WSOP or any other time, and the rate calendar wants you to pay for it, I am going to give you a SIMPLE TIP on how to save 7-12% on your room rates. Go on your COMPUTER (not the app), use INCOGNITO MODE on your browser, and log into your Caesars Rewards account. That's it. That's the tip. You will save somewhere in the neighborhood of 7-12% on each night. Why? Caesars uses something called "adaptive pricing" -- a scheme which essentially raises your price simply because you showed interest in browsing rooms there. Many large companies in the travel industry do this. For the same reason, you should use incognito mode when browsing airfares. Even though they could easily track you by your Caesars Reward number, it seems they use browser cookies to do it, thus incognito mode will appear to be your "first visit" to the website, and it will not have seen you looking at prices before. Below are the prices quoted to me for the Vegas market in early June. The first screenshot shows my prices logging in normally. The second screen shot shows my LOWER prices, simply by logging in via incognito mode less than 1 minute later. Go ahead... try it for yourself! Note that my prices won't be your prices, as they are based on my recent and semi-recent Caesars play. As you can see, it's a mixture of comps and rates, but my rates are about 7-12% lower on the incognito window. Yours will likely be, too, unless you haven't browsed the Caesars prices in quite some time.

@marcuslemonis @AnnCoulter There’s no such thing as redundant costs with a competitor. Perhaps you meant synergies?

This was a bit of a “blue press” of the button. Protect consumers and do the altruistic thing. Except it just “killed” all the people she convinced to press blue. It strengthened the remaining airline oligopoly that she was trying to weaken, cost a bunch of jobs, and now consumers lack a major budget friendly option.
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren

I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. @JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for flyers! apnews.com/article/jetblu…
