Google translate gives me
Vladimir Kramnik: “To earn the right to a world championship match, it’s not enough just to play chess well, you must also serve chess. I don’t have the feeling that Vachier-Lagrave worked hard this year and that he is a professional in his business”.

Pete Doggers round 9 report
The report also says Grischuk recently broke a finger"It was very important for me to win this game to realistically stay in the race, otherwise it would have been really hard," said Giri. He reminded everyone that he drew all his games in the 2016 Candidates tournament, and added: "It's not enough that the tournament goes well and nobody is pulling ahead; you also need yourself to win games at some point."

Grischuk blamed the wall for 6 months of wasted work.

Re: Candidates Tournament 2020
Alekseenko seems to be surprised by what looks like a very normal and standard line of the Reti. Carlsen is just commenting on that French that it's quite unusual for White to get in Be3 in these positions.

Re: Candidates Tournament 2020
Grischuk seems to have been considering his eleventh move for more than fifty minutes.
EDIT: up to an hour now.

Re: Candidates Tournament 2020
According to chess24, it took him 1 hour and 12 minutes to play the move that Magnus thought was obvious
I know Grischuk has form for this sort of thing, but I really can't see how he benefits from burning so much time

Magnus also reckons he's quite likely still in preparation

Re: Candidates Tournament 2020
Alekseenko, not to be outdone, is down to his last three minutes with nineteen moves to go. He's also even more busted than MVL was yesterday.

Re: Candidates Tournament 2020
Something of a companion piece to the game he saved yesterday (albeit not remotely so drastic).
Good result for Nepo.

Caruana v Ding is drawn, perhaps to Fabi's relief after he went astray in a strong position
