Did y’all know Tepe Sigeman overlaps with Super Rapid and Blitz Poland? Maybe I should clone myself so I can tune into it all. But what if she’s better at chess than I? I can’t allow that.

Only one way to find out…

He didn’t include himself, well that shows a lack of self belief.

Finally you’ve admitted it was an addiction.

Well then you’re not trying.

With Roman Vidonyak’s 54 step plan, we can all reach 2900.

Even the blooming azaleas can’t take my mind off the candidates.

It’s that time of year. *inhales cigar and coughs profusely. Wait is inhale the correct terminology? I’m not a smoker. Ohhh it’s smokes cigar!

Well that’s what they want you to think!

If I had the motivation to learn distant opposition it would be over for all of you. I would eat your rating like it’s a Milano cookie.

My half Filipino heart would be so happy to move there.

I would give up my whole Lego collection for a 2pm est start time for the upcoming world championships.

The depth of my denial that it’s over could rival Mariana’s Trench.

Lololololol Naka did come in 5th 😂

It’s terribly on brand for me to jokingly predict Sindarov to be the candidates winner and for him to win it.

@peterhassett.net quick suit review? Is the all black look intimidating or more appropriate as funeral attire?

Sindarov has a heart and Giri won’t shut up?

It’s vintage! Leave my state alone! 😤

Pshhhh when am I NOT on chair watch is the question. Grischuk is gonna have a bad back in a couple years.

Over the years I’ve noted every players choice of drinks at the board. And after Magnus stopped drinking orange juice after August 2018, his play went downhill. Don’t even get me started on who plays worse when they bring chocolate bars.

Well I was having a good day…

A disheveled Camillia still in pajamas, and going on a Target run while chugging caffeine.

A live look at me trying to finish running my errands before round 9 starts.

Gusti and Svidler’s first commentary was on ICC?? That creaking you’re hearing are their bones.
