Highlight of yesterday was definitely Grischuk going on like a 20 minute tangent about bullet arenas just to make a "Giri Draws" barb.

I think 24 game matches and less frequent rest days would reduce the overwhelming amount of computer prep, and also make 'just draw forever' a much riskier strategy. A rest day after every 2 games and an extra rest day before the last game seems excessive, and like it takes some of the question of stamina out of the equation, which ought to be a part of chess I think.

Inferior Third Season posted:He's on a 96 game unbeaten streak, with 28 wins and 68 draws. That's not an unusual amount of draws for high-level play. He finally lost to MVL at Shenzen a little bit ago but he's been generally playing amazing chess. His showing at the Candidates was better than the +1 he ended up with--he was almost never worse in any game and just barely missed at least one other win (against Caruana even, I think? I can't remember). He plays really exciting attacking chess and is Feingold's favorite to win the next Candidates' cycle.
