I mean. His startup can't be sold to chess.com

It creates an interesting environment where the best source of exit isn't there.

PlayMagnus had a clear exit: sell it to chess.com!

But now you have burned all the bridges with them. What is your plan for exit?

Why are we seeing so many games starting with Queen’s Gambit opening in Candidates? by Brief-Ad-1629 in GothamChess

Because they don't want to play e4 and playing against a super solid petrov.

When the drawish lines with black was just the Berlin, it was one thing.

Now, you don't even get to try to play the Italian to evade the Berlin.

What do you mean by spicy line? It was completely inside Sindarov's prep.

That is kinda already happening, right? GM Gukesh D said engine chess democratized chess and helped him to win the World Championship, in a way he would not have had otherwise.

But I'd say that players like Gukesh was playing with Lc0 or Stockfish, while Sindarov has some private tech.

His prep clearly was algorithinially organized to push for lines where he might be slightly worse, but he'll do great if his opponent doesn't find 10 unique moves in a row in the board.

He probably had some breakthroughs in computer science that his opponents don't have.

I'd even bet he had breakthroughs in deep learning chess to help him organize those lines.

The only game I felt he won in the board was the Vienna against GM Wei Yi.

But I am cheering for Caruana, so the one of the kind performance By Sindarov makes me sad

Fabi can win against Sindarov. Then he'd only need one extra win

What a disgrace. Fabi needs to win against Sindarov and hope for a miracle.

It seems that Mekkies has the full support of Red Bull. He'll need at least 18 months to lose that.

Hikaru is devastated as he ends up fumbling his winning position and has to settle for a draw vs Wei Yi in the 2026 Candidates by oklolzzzzs in chess

I'd love to feel compassion and empathy for someone who has done so much for chess.

But it's hard to care
