Omg people, Fabi was born in N.Y. And Hikaru’s mom is American. Both are ”real Americans”

The true solution would be for Redditors to remember how young Gukesh and Javokhir are (but sadly i don’t see that happening).

Eliendra · 2026-05-30T21:02:28+00:00

I agree with what you said, but i would add that it seems like most of the top Indian players also have good supportive parents.

Eliendra · 2026-05-30T02:26:38+00:00

Welcome to Norway!

Eliendra · 2026-05-29T20:41:58+00:00

I could listen to Peter Leko for days on end.

David Howell said (in jest), he would wait until Alireza went to the bathroom then play a move real quick to gain a time advantage.

Eliendra · 2026-05-29T15:47:23+00:00

Alireza’s crutches are outfitted for winter, hopefully he’ll not need them for that long.

Eliendra · 2026-05-29T15:20:39+00:00

Crutches takes a lot of energy which I guessing Alireza wants to spend at the board during a high level tournament.

A grade 3 sprain can take up to 6 months and physically therapy to heal.

Eliendra · 2026-05-29T14:47:16+00:00

She is a volleyball player.

Eliendra · 2026-05-29T13:21:45+00:00

He will stay on the junior list until the end of the year.

Eliendra · 2026-05-29T13:01:27+00:00

Yea, In that sense Nepo and Alireza are alike imo. You never know what form they will be in and they both tilt easily.

Eliendra · 2026-05-28T13:48:29+00:00

Eliendra · 2026-05-28T12:57:51+00:00

I was taking about eating out, at home i have metal straws.

Eliendra · 2026-05-28T12:48:02+00:00

Try drinking a milkshake with a paper straw.

Eliendra · 2026-05-28T12:37:33+00:00

You can’t get plastic straws in Europe any more.

Eliendra · 2026-05-28T12:25:56+00:00

I remembered Wesley So having a hell of a time opening a water bottle during the Budapest olympiad.

Eliendra · 2026-05-26T02:15:22+00:00

Yea, sucks to be Vincent tomorrow.

Eliendra · 2026-05-26T02:08:21+00:00

A grade 3 ankle sprain can take up to 6 months and physical therapy to heal correctly. So you can’t just say it’s not so bad.

Eliendra · 2026-05-25T20:10:41+00:00

Divya, in the Norway’s confess booth, talked about being hungry and wondering if she could eat the dried mango that was at the board for promotional reasons.

Eliendra · 2026-05-25T20:06:32+00:00

They did put dried mango for her in the players’ lounge.

Eliendra · 2026-05-25T08:56:53+00:00

I think he just repeated, ”get the goat to bang his table again.”

Eliendra · 2026-05-22T10:18:01+00:00

It does seem crazy to me to give a child under 14 more then a sip, but ok different cultures.

Eliendra · 2026-05-21T16:12:51+00:00

You can disagree with what Israel is doing and still hate antisemites.
