hope you will thrill this forum with games analysis and general discussion :))

if there is a voting function I would post one here, nevertheless , whom you are voting for ?
i would love MVL to win, however that is unlikely.
if i was a betting man i wouldnt look past carlsen tbh
best game today was So against Giri where Anish had moved his bishop 6 times before he got it exchange ! violating the basic rule of never move your pieces twice in the opening !not surprising that he got himself punished for that !
I think i have to get up at 3 am to watch it live. I like to watch the best, but that's a little too early for me.
wow !Anand is now winning against Wesley So after an early knight sac in move 14 in a Ruy lopez line ! what a game !
