That broke my heart a little, but Ian is really impressive. Him and Fabi tomorrow will be a cool battle.

Pragg and Gukesh, though. So crazy good.

Lichess has pretty good commentary (Irene Sukandar and others, incl Eric Rosen sometimes). It includes women�s matches and isn�t quite as dynamic, without the video feed. Polgar and Leko add a lot of gravity while being fun on the main chess24 stream. Nice to have some alternate takes in the late games.

I wish there was another site to watch from. Even if lichess could get audio only to the page with the boards. I can't stand the advertising twitch enforces, they became such a miserable platform since amazon bought it.

When Twitch is a necessary evil, I find I have more luck with my phone's ad blocking. I use my phone to cast Twitch to my TV, rather than an app on a device connected to my TV. Sometimes I'll get 1-2 ads right off the bat, but after that they stop.

I think Bob Hess is sharing Ian's vodka. He gets gradually less well-edged as each broadcast goes on.

When playing over the board as a beginner make sure you're playing against someone better than you, because in my experience I really need someone to tell me when checkmate has happened.

I was wondering how many times I've castled through check.
