Dec-31-21  Atterdag: Sadly true, <metatron2>. Too much nut nut, nok and child messiah.

The only way is following the <piltdown man> and put this pathetic trio on ignore.

  perfidious: <not not> is harmless; <messiah> is a noisome <point of sale> whose banal, negative content is not worth perusing.
Dec-31-21  SkySports: Now that there is a specific section for the blitz tournament, maybe this should be renamed World Rapid Championship Tournament...

1) Will Magnus win at least one title?
2) Will Nakamura win at least one title?
3) Will Alireza win at least one title?>

<<MissScarlett: Yes to questions 1-3.>>

<Diademas: I'm guessing <Missy> will get at least one point.>

Worst prophetic duo ever.

  chancho: Abdusattorov lost 8 blitz games while Carlsen lost 6.

Both finished +7 -1 =5 in the rapid event.

These things happen.

My hopes for him that he can come out on top when it matters a little bit more.

  perfidious: Results from all this will provide even more fuel for those who would wish to slag Carlsen as something other than the strongest player in captivity.

Line forms to the right, <anti-messiah>.

Jan-05-22  Albertan: 17-year old World Champion gifted flat by Presidential decree:

  Williebob: If more World governments engaged in such behavior, then more top players would be forced to become apologists for whatever their governments are doing to the rest of us.

  MissScarlett: Noddy becomes the most famous - and most unspellable - Uzbek since Djamolidine Abdoujaparov.
Jan-05-22  Atterdag: And that's why I hope Yip will grow to become the strongest woman in chess ever.

And so on. Discuss.

Jan-08-22  Atterdag: May we hope to see a front page display of Tata Steel soon?

After all, this important super tournament commences 14 January.

  moronovich: Yes, let us have a front page !

First round starts saturday the 15th.

Jan-10-22  Sally Simpson: <' May we hope to see a front page display of Tata Steel soon?'>

One of the enticements for becoming a paying premier member is 'turn off advertisements.'

Tata Steel is a registered company and using it's name will renege on C.G's. agreement to show no adverts.

The will have to call it 'A chess Tournament Somewhere in Europe.' else the sub payers can demand a refund.

Posting that on the chessgames.com chessforum might be more fruitful than here.

Maybe. But given recent history, maybe not.
