Bizarrely I am now getting the German commentary on Chess24. I'd be all right if it was the Spanish...

Who on earth is this hateful twerp running the press conferences and co-commenting with Ian?

Gustafsson is saying that they're both in time trouble. They're not, really.

No idea about the offical co commentator (I think I saw Dylan McClain just now) but he doesn't seem terribly objectionable to me? The Russian(?) person they had for the earlier rounds was very good mind.
Press conferences great and all, but it is a little bit annoying to have the main bit of the critical game littered with them/ad break/whatever
At least they're getting the finish.
Oh, Giri doesn't seem to mind as long as people are good natured about it. Not universal that it seems.

I have absolutely no idea, just find it odd and would like to know where and to whom he is claimed to have said it.Jonathan Bryant wrote: Is it your contention that the arbiter *didnt* say what was attributed to them by Chess Vibes?

My God, the man is an utter moron. Talking about how at least the tie-break system hasn't been decisive.
So why are we being subjected to FM Dylan Maclain from the USA? It's not like there aren't people who can do this job competently.

Because AGON hired him some time last year in order to head up their media operations (or whatever the phrase might be).

I know not everybody here or elsewhere will be delighted at that, but he was probably the best player overall and performed impressively.JustinHorton wrote:Karjakin wins and is the Candidate
He did not let his one setback (against Anand) faze him.
Meanwhile, I suspect Fab will be kicking himself about failing to put away the tournament bunny not once but twice, for some time to come.
Oh, and you know who was the only undefeated player
