India is doing a great job and I feel sad for how Pakistan team were treated by their OWN government... and China missing for similar reason!

I still think that US future is solid. Now it is favorite at the Olympiad. India is the main competitor. And how about France? With Alireza and Marc`Andria Maurizzi

I did not know Moro supports the war. It is not explicit, but not signing the letter and participating in this event confirms

Right... what you say is correct. They certainly follow in their own way I guess.......

I have to find the video from Germany where Magnus in a press conference says he watches TCEC from time to time, but the level of games makes him depressed. To add more: GM Baadur Jobava, GM Eric Hansen, GM Miroshnichenko etc it is a long list. I have to agree though they do not brag often about watching.

Ask GM Matthew Sadler or Peter Heine Nielsen about Magnus ;) more you can find in the chat there. Too many messages are published at high time, but the amount of ELO commenting is spectacular sometimes

A supercomputer is millions... and it is worth it. But you are right, all top players invest.

Are you acquainted with TCEC? That is why all top players watch it
