Magnus is 98 in all of those stats. Not perfect for the 99 but as close as it gets imo.

I think Dash makes high level more approachable for lower elo players

Very good games. Everyone is getting better at freestyle chess. By the end of the year these games will be unbelievable. 🎉

As a 50 FIDE rated player myself I hope we can see magnus vs hikaru in the finals

[JadenYukiBruceLee]

Is there a 1 in 960 to get the normal chess position or is it excluded?

[patrice]

why Hess and Naroditsky no longer commentate?

[RVeda-vhon]

Do we really need over 75 minutes of filler b.s. before the chess starts?.... 😕
