Premium Chessgames Member		  Tabanus: Prelim games added. Eight short GM draws (of which five by Nakamura) were rejected by the settings, hence 112 not 120 games.
Apr-28-21  Messiah: I don't like Radjabov, but I hope he will destroy Justin convincingly.
Apr-28-21  fabelhaft: Karjakin at least used to do well in speed chess events, but 14th of 16 here and 15th of 16 in Skilling Open etc makes it seem as if he dropped quite a bit in playing strength lately. He didn't reach top 30 in the latest World Rapid or Blitz Championships either, that both were won by Carlsen.
Apr-28-21  SkySports: It seems that Radjabov didn't deliver Messiah...

Premium Chessgames Member		  perfidious: <messiah> will get over it. Or not.

No-one cares about his constant whingeing when his version of the Antichrist comes out on top, or his catcalling those times Carlsen loses.

Apr-29-21  Messiah: Hopefully Aronian will emerge as one of the finalists.
Apr-30-21  macer75: <Messiah: I don't like Radjabov, but I hope he will destroy Justin convincingly.>

Who tf is Justin?

Also, why isn't this tournament on the home page? Come on Chessgames!

Apr-30-21  Kurakotsaba: <Who tf is Justin?>

Hehehehe...wholly faxs! Who the hell really is Jazztinge???? It keeps tinge-ing me to no end...🎯👹😬🤔😳😀

Premium Chessgames Member		  Tabanus: <why isn't this tournament on the home page?>

Maybe they think the intro is too snobistic. Or they don't like Magnus. Perhaps later, if Naka wins.

May-01-21  macer75: <Carlsen ½½10 ½½11 -- - 2 Aronian ½½01 ½½00 -- - 0>

Should be Carlsen 1.5 - Aronian 0.5.

May-02-21
Premium Chessgames Member		  Tabanus: Fixed. And KO games added.
May-02-21  Messiah: I have all the hopes Naka will finally make it.
May-04-21  macer75: <Messiah: I have all the hopes Naka will finally make it.>

Fingers crossed that Naka wins!

In all honesty, I did not track it. Who won?

(oh yes I know)
