Carlsen before #NewInChess R10: "In general the score is good. I feel like if I had played at the very top of my game, maybe could've won a couple more, but I think am in the lead so I am obviously am happy about how it's going.
It's been a great day for Liem Quang Le! (4 out of 5)
Carlsen remains undefeated in #NewInChess Classic after drawing Nakamura in round 10: "My day was a little bit worse than yesterday. I would've hoped to score half a point more, but still it's fine."
Magnus is currently on course to win a 5th #ChessChamps Preliminary stage in a row, but with 1 day to go Aronian, Duda & Karjakin are among the players outside the Top 8 who would be knocked out!
I can imagine Firouzja winning this whole thing, kid is a mad talent and finds wins easily even against the very best, probably the future world champion, no doubt!
Come on, we want Rameshbabu in the finals, please
omg, he's got some heavy schedule for the last 5:
Aronian, Christiansen, Carlsen, Nakamura and Firouzja!
