fucks sake I forgot i was part of a quiz night tonight! argh!
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS MY FRIEEEEEND!
I like chess and I'm even playing competitively from time to time, but watching this is boring as fuck...
I'll nose around and try to find something a bit better. Didn't have enough time to sit down with it in the end, which I would have done happily, but agreed, I do want a bit more. When I went to see Kasparov v Kramnick all the audience had ear pieces and there were four GM's in the commentary box and it was like TMS - fantastic, and quite funny too. I remember following a big chess match years back and there was some commentary from an American dude coming out of what sounded like his bedroom - sounds of cans being opened etc - twas brilliant - so something like that. Apparantly you can watch the games in virtual reality? Might need exploring. And am hoping to find out if Mato Jelic is commentating somewhere... the only yootoober I know and like. Up yours Stampy. He's been very quiet of late tho.
But looks like a dullish Ruy Lopez in the 6th game... as football commentators lazily say... 'it's like a game of chess out there'. Tired after some lengthy draws in previous games perhaps.
3-3
Quite liked the story of Carlsen opening the competition with a Trompowsky Attack, partially inspired by Trump being elected. Even stevens... and yet to kick into life. Let's hope it does.
