Peter Svidler is lovely and his comments are OP. Cheers form Mexico.

PANG BO interview tomorrow!! Bring on the legend!!

[TimeNap]

Salimova the real queen and she's on Hans team. Thats a fun team - I really wish the coverage was more watchable. So many interesting matches.

Can we please get a leaderboard graphic?

[macroma]

The question is: can Magnus Carlson beat Pang Bo??

[yesenadam]

Gareyev is allowed to play like nothing happened?! You expect me to look at his face, listen to you analyze his games?! I was a fan of his, but the sexual misconduct is wayyyy too much to ignore. :-( It came out and..nothing happened?

[PeterM]

Magnus's team is sub-par. The technical problems are embarrassing.

Magnus carrying tf outta WR Chess Team. Ian couldn’t have played for a win to get them ahead of china? Like what
