Re: ECF AGM 2022
I don't seem to have received either of these emails, which is a good way of having it brought home to you how unimportant you are as an ECF member.

Re: 2022 US Chess Championship
Moradiabadi doesn't really play the Petroff as I could only find one game of his with it. Guess he was trying to catch his opponent in an opening he didn't expect but playing an opening you clearly don't know that well against a 2747 is asking for it. Caruana says that winging it against Domínguez,...

Re: Four arbiting queries
The correct course of action is not to use witless terms like "woke".

Re: 2022 US Chess Championship
Caruana well worth a look: ....h5-h4, ...Rh6 and ...Kf8 and a chunky advantage to show for it.
EDIT: Eswaran, who has had a poor tournament up to now, should beat Abrahamyan shortly.

Re: 2022 US Chess Championship
Fans of Swiercz's clock handling may like to know that he appears to have taken 44 minutes over his eighth move, though I'm not entirely sure that the Chess24 records can be regarded as entirely canonical

Re: Carlsen resigns on move 2
Incidentally Liang discusses the opening of his game here and there's nothing about Anand's game at all!

Re: Carlsen resigns on move 2
The amount of online chess in the world must exceed the amount of OTB chess by a fantastic margin, and ditto the number of online players.

Re: 2022 US Chess Championship
I think Corden v Smylov is a bit different - I wonder if Smyslov knew that 5...d6 was likely inferior but was avoiding 5...Bc5 (and 5...Nxe4 which is relatively drawish) precisely because that was where you were likely to get caught out by home preparation. Instead he got himself a Philidor with ......
