Rd 8 Since 2017 Ive known how extremely good a player Sam Shankland is but my respect has climbed even more viewing this game (Aronian vs Shankland) Purely delightful moves. The song sung by Elton John goes: He shall be Levon but maybe it should be: He shall beat Levon! This game in Mahmud's words is: Absolutely delicious!
One little mistake on a6. Chess is so hard.
Couldn't Shankland draw with 40....Bd5?Last edited by Hans Jung; Monday, 20 October, 2025, 04:59 PM.Comment

Rd 8 Dynamic yet subtle sparring between Caruana and Robson.Comment

and what is going on in the Woodward - Sevian game? Talk about subtle maneuvering. There must be something in the water in St. Louis
I've got only one prediction in this game. Hint: bishop of ops favours the attacker. Kudos to Woodward for seeing it through.Last edited by Hans Jung; Monday, 20 October, 2025, 03:57 PM.Comment

Liang - So Inspired play on both sides. Maybe its just the drugs Im on. I'm seeing more than I have in a long time.
Again - delicious play!Last edited by Hans Jung; Monday, 20 October, 2025, 04:00 PM.Comment
