Great commentary. Yasser, the old mentor, Katerina some great ideas and insights plus great style and smile, Christian classy as always and Anastasia as cherry on the top! Great stuff

[nomoreblitz]

need to know more about the alleged battery on the videographer

[eggie]

And Carissa Yip goes 5/5. Takes out the very dangerous Tokhirjonova.

Since they were talking about it at the end, Anna Akhsharumova won the 1987 US women's championship with a perfect score of 9-0.

Caruana was like "I gotta dip"

[MrSupernova]

Where is Carissa's round 5 interview??

[joep]

Love listening to your stories, Yasser. But your timing, while Fabi was about to checkmate Yoo? Not so good.

[sekk]

Sorry to tell ya, but as an Arbiter you have no right putting your hands on anybody, especially a kid. Some people have a major issue with being touched by people they are not familiar with, this could've ended much worse.

I bet Hans is glad it's someone else this time.

[Mikey]

The great Hans Niemann will win this tournament becoming US champion. The great Hans Niemann will avenge his losses to Hikaru and Magnus from last month. The great Hans Niemann will become world champion. The great Hans Niemann will leave behind a legacy rivaling even the goat Bobby Fischer. INEVITABLE

[joylife]

I think chess based india coverage is much better . But I appreciate you guys for giving a decent broadcast and reviews

[dumbfate]

Why cant men and women vs each other in chess?
