Fabiano Caruana on Magnus' suspicion of Hans: "If we're talking about Magnus' Involvement and culpability...it's clear that it came from a place of genuine suspicion. People might have a problem with that, but honestly you can't really control whether you're suspicious or not. You can control if you act on it, and he did act on it...which caused him more trouble than he probably wanted."

Did Erdogmus pick Topalov specifically to farm him? Fabiano Caruana: "Topalov was a juicy opponent...he was significantly overrated. When you haven't played for a decade, that's simply the reality of it. You can't keep a top level without playing."

There's a war between Take Take Take /lichess.org VS Chess.com brewing below the surface. What exactly is the playbook here ? Caruana : "lichess has a very different business model than chesscom, which is much less aimed at trying to make as much money as possible... They cohabited pretty peacefully up until now, so this is a bit of a change. Now it's a bit less peaceful. For me the interesting thing is, from a broadcasting perspective, what will Take Take Take actually broadcast now?"
