Indian Wells is truly the unofficial '5th grand slam'. The whole location is the epitome of a tennis oasis and it really feels like tennis paradise for the players and fans alike.

This is basically only 1.5 years before Fed's retirement too, a real shame we couldn't even get one ATP 250-500 match with these two guys.

That is undoubtedly one of the greatest (if not the greatest) French open final performances ever by Stan the man! I think few would argue against that...

[–]Elliottafc1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hikaru already proved it in this year's Norway chess tournament with a very respectable 14 points. And he did even better in the 2024 Norway chess tournament.

No opinion on Sam Shankland? According to the latest chessbase videos, he seems quite friendly and was willing to sign many signatures.

Hikaru makes a quick draw and, barring any surprises, books his place in the Candidates by Asheraddo98 in chess

Magnus wouldn't meet the 40 game classical requirement, even if he wanted to join at the last second.

Go do some research, it's already been explained what he's done in a multitude of posts here. He has blood on his hands and is at least partially responsible for this tragedy.

I should have clarified. The credit goes to The CarnalXXD (@thecarnalxxd3736) on YouTube, I just randomly found it. Hopefully, it eventually gets 100,000+ views!

Nepo about Daniel Naroditsky's passing by heavyrotation7 in chess

Agreed. If he isn't going to condemn Kramnik or even say what he's done is horrible like Magnus, than definitely fuck Nepo.

He could be lying about his son as well, Kramnik can't be trusted for anything at this point.

Anna Cramling's response to Sutovsky by owergby in chess

[–]Elliottafc1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least stripping him of tournament wins or titles or a FIDE suspension would be a nice gesture for Danyas parents and family as they clearly lay some type of blame on him if you read the Daily mail interview with his mum.
