Condolences to Magnus and family for the passing of his mother!

[@Gunjanjha-G13u]

Congratulations Gukesh 🥳

[@pakingwetpu7019]

Gukesh seems to be a hardworker. Always stay focus and doesn't seem to get bored! thats why he is lucky., if you are a hardworker then luck is at your side!

[@ScarfBuzzer]

Fabiano crushing it!

Funny refusal of claiming repetition by both sides

[@DavidSchilter]

Is the intro montage AI-generated? Whatever the case, it doesn't make sense ("chomping at the bit" should be "champing at the bit", MVL is the Frenchman with THREE names, not two).

[@Jordan-ud4qv]

Hmm? Chomping at the bit is the proper phrase so were you making a joke or did you just misunderstand?

[@raymondng1601]

Condolences to Magnus and his family. RIP

[@31redorange08]

Day 2 of Jovanka and Yasser trolling Šarić.

[@oswaldocaminos8431]

It's time to change commentators!

[@noahbaker-kang5148]

15 seconds left! 14 seconds left! 13 seconds left!!! So annoying

[@budziapudzia]

Why nepomiachi is playing roussians should not play

[@junksails814]

Why?

[@dank2476]

Hans should have replaced Magnus instead of Aaron.

[@razen4758]

no Magnus no Hikaru .. no chess

[@nomoreblitz]

Isn't it time to let go of the shameful abuse of power and bring back Hans Niemann? please.

[@Saabshir]

What, with a rating like that? This is GCT not a random open tournament. Even Arjun is not invited. First he needs to be a consistent 2700 players, then to around 2750, then maybe he can get a chance.

[@nomoreblitz]

@@Saabshir Well, SLCC kinda screwed him out of higher rating by forcing him back to open tournaments.

[@blue_red_screen]

He's admitted to cheating twice. He can only blame himself for his current situation ​@nomoreblitz

[@nomoreblitz]

@@blue_red_screen he's more than paid the price for admitting what he did as a kid, online. And that's NOT why SLCC is screwing Hans.

[@blue_red_screen]

@@nomoreblitz so what is the reason

[@adriantovar9122]

this is sooo boring, where are pepe y el divis to comment?
