A beautiful attack from Matthew to take down Jules Moussard, who sportingly gave him mate on the board. Congrats to him.

There was a time when it was far from unknown even at master level.

Well played Matthew, I think that takes his rating back above 2470Colin Patterson wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:57 pmA beautiful attack from Matthew to take down Jules Moussard, who sportingly gave him mate on the board. Congrats to him.

Probably no opt-out as the tournament regulations sayLawrenceCooper wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 7:36 pmI'm not sure about this specific event but, in general, opponents of streamers can ask not to be on camera and I can remember at least one case of a streamer's game not being broadcast because the opponent requested it not to be.Ian Thompson wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 6:46 pmShould he have the right to refuse to take part in that?

He now finds himself facing Andrea Botez so his game is being streamed to more than 15000 viewers on the BotezLive Twitch channel with commentary by GM Jon Ludvig Hammer.
"Photographs of players may be taken during the tournament. Additionally, players can expect to be on camera while playing on live DGT boards. By participating in the competition, players acknowledge and agree to these conditions."

Hmmm. Whose camera, and for what purposes, though? I don't regard the clause above as readily applying to one party to the game seeking financial profit.
