Hoist by his own racism.

I wasn't following Radjabov's withdrawal that closely. Did he drop out specifically because Ding and Wang are from China? If it was just out of a general concern over the coronavirus, I would say that he was entirely vindicated in that decision. As much as I enjoyed following the first seven rounds, the event should never have been held on schedule.

Candidates has been announced to resume November 1st in Yekaterinburg, with Tblisi as the backup venue. I'll believe it when I see it.

Still shocked that Ding is at -2.

I tuned in a little while ago and thought it was bold of FIDE to allow berserk mode in a classical OTB tournament.
