YouTube chess is also massive these days if you're interested in watching recaps and live games.

Play safe against Carlsen and you'll lose. Play sharper lines and take a risk and you'll still lose.

It's even worse on chess.com with stupid "holiday time" so even after their time runs out they still get to come back and play.

It would be cool if a Ding victory would cause a Chinese chess boom like with Anand and India. Personally I would bet on Nepo though.

Chess is already pretty big in China. There are 5 Chinese 2700 GMs. But yeah the PRC will make a huge deal out of it.

So Carlsen is happy to ruin this guy's chess career by insinuating he cheated, but not prepared to actually back it up. That's pretty lovely.

Actually Magnus was cheating in that match, this is all misdirection.

7. Hans admitted to cheating before but says he is now clean which in every sport is lolworthy.

I used to cheat. I mean I still do, but I used to, too.

Too little too late. Carlsen should have not played the first game. Or said something at the time. Instead he was happy to sit back and let everything implode based in rumour and speculation. And then agree to play Hans again and withdraw just made it worse.

E. Basically this

So if Ding does a Magnus and decides not to contest, who was 2nd if Ian, Fabi and Hikaru are all on 8.5 pts?
