A quick rant about the friendly World Championship. What are your thoughts?

Incredibly short sighted comments from Fabiano, thinking of it only from the perspective of chess as a financial event for the players, as if it is the last tournament. The damage to chess as a sport from this, is immense.

It will be exciting 😬 The next international break is just around the corner. In the individual continents, the countries are battling it out for participation in the 2026 World Cup. Follow all the matches live with us. Try Soccer Bot™:

Why not fair to fans? I'm a fan & I'm perfectly happy.

I get more and more in line with fabi and less and less in line with Kristian for every video that passes. But I love the IRL-streamers giving live takes. 😂

We need Hans on the pod🙏

I'm a fan and I don't see any reason why should have been decided by Armageddon or they should have continued to play all night long. To please whom? Absurd logic. Magnus is smart and proposed a solution. If some fans don't like it, they can qualify next time.

Have you both ever checked how long in wimbledon the longest match was? They changed the rules after it. But not this way...players cannot decide about rules. Why not agree forehand with the organizers?

Cristian not afraid to speak the truth...

The fact that Caruana alings with everything Carlsen does, makes me believe he's having the same kind of ideas Carlsen has. Cristian a lot of respect for you for challenging Caruana.

I just have one question to @FabianoCaruana (being your biggest supporters) Just imagine in candidates in a situation where you need a loss from one of 3 players last 3 rounds. But they openly joke about making draws on camera all 3 rounds. How's it not against integrity

Hot. Raw. Chaotical.
