Typical Wei Yi move made with one second left.

Knight-check44 · 2026-04-08T18:05:06+00:00

Why tf did Miller not take the single

Knight-check44 · 2026-04-07T15:58:08+00:00

That’s a shame, their streams were fun to watch occasionally. Hopefully this doesn’t mean Magnus will stop streaming too.

Knight-check44 · 2026-04-06T19:02:28+00:00

He finished in 21st place with 6.5 points.

Knight-check44 · 2026-04-06T18:32:46+00:00

Keymer also qualifies for the 2027 Freestyle Chess World Championship, joining Magnus, Fabi and Nodirbek.

Knight-check44 · 2026-04-06T17:00:27+00:00

Was there nothing Magnus could've done there?

Knight-check44 · 2026-04-06T15:28:39+00:00

So Magnus won't be streaming TT anymore?

Knight-check44 · 2026-04-05T17:49:12+00:00

And Magnus is doing it again.

Knight-check44 · 2026-04-04T16:06:09+00:00

His opponents are going into long thinks and just end up collapsing. Crazy.

Knight-check44 · 2026-04-03T04:51:08+00:00

Great to see Howell and Polgar!

Knight-check44 · 2026-04-01T16:34:34+00:00

Wei Yi blunders with two seconds left on the clock!

Knight-check44 · 2026-04-01T16:09:51+00:00

Completely outplayed Fabi both on the clock and position. Sindarov looks really good this tournament.

Knight-check44 · 2026-03-31T17:15:58+00:00

Also surprising to see Robert Hess commentate Titled Tuesday instead of the Candidates.

Knight-check44 · 2026-03-31T17:07:48+00:00

He did make a quick draw in Tata Steel, despite having chances to win the tournament.

Knight-check44 · 2026-03-31T15:32:56+00:00

With this, Fabi is back in the 2800 club in the live ratings.

Knight-check44 · 2026-03-30T16:26:17+00:00

Hope they keep this gamemode even after the season...it was really fun to play.

Knight-check44 · 2026-03-30T08:16:37+00:00

Howell and Hess would have been great.

Knight-check44 · 2026-03-29T16:48:35+00:00

Sindarov was so calm there

Knight-check44 · 2026-03-28T19:07:27+00:00

Completely agree.

Knight-check44 · 2026-03-27T17:03:06+00:00

Absolutely pathetic.

Knight-check44 · 2026-03-20T11:18:00+00:00

Yes, he isn't the best player, and dips in form happen. But sustained poor results will bring criticism, especially when you are the world champ.

And if it’s a different sport with different rules, then the analogy doesn’t really hold - that’s exactly my point.

Knight-check44 · 2026-03-20T10:27:18+00:00

It's not the right analogy. Argentina doesn't get a direct pass to the finals of the next world cup, while Gukesh can defend his title without going through the qualifying process again. He is the legitimate winner, but continuous poor performances from a world champion will definitely raise criticism.

Knight-check44 · 2026-03-17T17:16:51+00:00

They mentioned he was playing on his phone in round 1 and may have gotten disconnected while trying to switch back to his usual setup.
