Hungry Hungry Magnus Wins Another Chicken Dinner.

@hangrad It's just that there was more server-load than even during the last marathon. We do what's nescessary to keep the site running in the moment ... and now we have some time to analyse and prepare for the next time.
Magnus aime le poulet comme Napoléon Bonaparte. Puisse-t-il aimer aussi le champagne :
"En cas de victoire, je le mérite ; en cas de défaite, j'en ai besoin."
#15 its indeed no masterpiece it was a poor game from me mainly. forget about d4 instead of slow moves Nbd2 etc if i put d6 in its fine.

Titled 960 is a bad idea because of huge amount of time available before first move. It's enough time to go eat a nice dinner while opponent decides on first move. I don't see how this fits into bullet arena format. The Great Viking never plays anything slower than 1+0 so there is no way he would agree to participate in this titled arena.
#24 You don't need to be Ronaldo to criticize football players. Same in chess.
Have literally never heard anyone call this "the bullet World Championship" before this article. A monthly WCh is way too much, anyways.
