And that’s it. Magnus Carlsen wins #ClutchChess with two games to spare.

There’s still something to be played for as a win is the equivalent of 3k$ but Magnus dominates against WCC, No. 2 and 5-time US Champ.

And yes, I made a photo of TV cause I’m lazy. Reflected lamp gives it something extra ❤️

Well, it is not much, but maybe someone will use it.

I’ve sent email to FIDE office reporting violation of Ethics Code by Kramnik, article 11.7 (f)

Raising awareness is necessary. It may not be much but chess world cannot be indifferent.

I can’t process it. I was so happy seeing Danya post new chess video 2 days ago and now this?

He was one of the reasons that chess boom had good retention numbers. His commentary insightful and fun.

May the business lounge serve you well at St. Peter’s gate. You’ll be missed.

Rarely I get something in my games, but we got here with my opponent out of the French. White to play and win.
