Everyone doubted me when I put Nepo high on the rankings at first. For the most-part, the tournament is so far going as I've been telling you all: Fabiano and Nepo in the lead, and mostly draws.

I think Nepo is the most exciting chess player there is outside of Magnus right now. Has he learned his lesson about stamina and endurance? Does he have the confidence to push forward now?

Let's hope so. Get ready to go Nepo!

Ian CHAMPIONiachtchi!
Ding has really been a big disappointment considering his great form going into this tournament and his overall ability and rating

Neop might actually be a Chess genius
If Nepo wins the tournament, Big Bad Putin will be all smiles. Team World can do the same dirty tricks Team USSR did to Fischer. Let's go Team World!
TYPO: "Rapport played [7]. Bg5," not "5.Bg5" against Nakamura. Great coverage!! Keep it up please!
