Sopiko Guramishvili is cute with Svidler but no Jan Gustafsson.

They've sorted most out now, sticking with camera 21 for comms.

Anyway, back to the game. Hate Sicilians so out of my book already.

[Jock Bauer]

Yeah, he's my fave. Grishy gonna be on soon and he's very entertaining.

Interesting position. Looks like it could get fruity.

I check the openings on this. Looks like they are out of book!

Ha. I was just reading this: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess- ... te-players

One good thing about the live feed and for just over a quid a game is actually seeing there faces. Magnus has his confused look and is blinking a lot.

Yeah, wouldn't mind seeing the playing hall tbh.

Gonna read up on the rosso. Ta for the linky.

I reckon Carlsen is gonna win this. He likes these kinda positions.

[Jock Bauer]

Magnus is gonna crush him up his f file.

[Carlos J]

Ha, I've read enough and still don't like the Sicilian. As you know, give me a dull Ruy Lopez or Italian.

Judit and Anna are in front of an audience doing their analysing and taking questions (cunt Nigel Short spoke up) and just said it is a better venue for the public than NY was. Can't wait for tomorrow.

Yeah Magnus loves these positions but Caruana looks positionall and developmentally better, but Magnus knows this. Could be a cracker first game.

[Jock Bauer]

Surprised Nige spoke to Polgar. Don't they hate each other?

Love Anna. Very cute.

[Carlos J]

Ha. Well he more gave his opinion aloud that Rook would take f4.

Sad but good times. Listening to one stream, pausing the other, then catching up on both. Grischuk coming in soon.

Short giving his opinion again.

[Jock Bauer]

Bugger. They've fucked off on a break. No Grishy yet.

[Jock Bauer]

Chess Brahs coverage - which I usually like cos they have Yasser Seirwan on there but not today - not quite cutting it -

[Jock Bauer]

I can see them now! - https://www.firstonetv.net/Live/Norway/NRK-1-4

[Jock Bauer]

Grishy here!!

[Carlos J]

Nice and good Norweigan link. Sticking with the official and Svidler as enough tabs open. Even though inactive, Polgar's rating is 2675 compared to Short's 2645, but I think he is trying to rile her.

Woody Harrelson is on stage with Judit and Anna. He was at NY as well. Quite a funny interview.

Think need to concentrate on the game for a bit.

[Jock Bauer]

g5 ! Fuck yeah!
