Yay first
I hope fabi wins the tournament

Now we would be seeing the leaderboard on 5th gear speed....! Bcz now, both the leaders are having the battle for #1 leaving the others behind which would now have the Battle for #3 position!

1 GM Ian Nepomniachtchi (2766) - 5,5
2 GM Fabiano Caruana (2783) - 5
3 GM Hikaru Nakamura (2760) - 3,5

GM Richard Rapport (2764) - 3
7 GM Radjabov Teimour (2753) - 2,5 tied for
GM Alireza Firouzja (2793) - 2,5

I am kinda rooting for hikaru since he is the underdog, if he wins 3 games in a row he might catch up

The crystal champion cannot refuse to play against Nepo or Fabi if either of them wins. It would be pure arrogance of Magnus and contemptuously forgetting the innumerable matches between Kasparov and Karpov

isn't he a bad person though? all the past incidents...bad reputation

good

Well, I want a new opponent for Magnus everytime until he gives up his title, because he's undefeatable

Fabi is the only one with any chance against Magnus

nepo will win
