  offramp: On another board, MVL & Abussatorov, the first move was made by the 7-year-old <Victor Bojica>! He is a chess player. He shook hands with both huge players.

<SHAKE HANDS WITH THE HAND THAT SHOOK THE WORLD>!!

Do you know that famous phrase?

  offramp: C26: the Vienna Game. That is a bit weird. I always disliked that opening.
May-13-25  Retireborn: 2.Nc3 and then 3.d4?

I'd tap Mr Caruana on the shoulder and explicate to him "That's not how you play the Scotch Opening. You're doing it wrong!"

It is funny as <retireborn> says, it's like a Scotch where things have gone a bit wrong for White.

  perfidious: At first glance, this seemed to me to be a poor form of the Centre Game for White; after ten moves he already looks to have the inferior position.

  offramp: I really like Caruana, User: HeMateMe, but I don't understand him. He really looks like Barton Fink, and John Turturro was bought up in Italy (Sicily).

Caruana often sports a spectacular jewfro. Can I say jewfro? Apparently I am not allowed to use the word jewfro. Anyway. Fabbi's hair is great.

He is usually funny in interviews, <if you can bloody hear him>.

May-13-25  drleper: <perfidious: At first glance, this seemed to me to be a poor form of the Centre Game for White; after ten moves he already looks to have the inferior position.> Just curious, what makes you say that white's position is inferior?

  perfidious: <drleper>, my assessment was based on Caruana's queen being poorly placed and the loss of time he would have to incur to get her onside. This has happened, but now the rest of his development is a mess. Can White exploit ....g7-g5?

  offramp: The Vienna Game. Both players are thinking, "Hmm, I remember from a game from a simultaneous between Blackburne and Naylor in 1885."

I have a feeling that Caruana will rip 'er to shreds.

  offramp: This looks like a game between two 12-year-olds.

  offramp: When you look at Caruana you might think that he is a paper tiger. But he is a non-paper tiger.

Classical chess is SOOOOO boring.
🥱🥴🙄𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

May-13-25  Andrew Chapman: Patzer question: After 14.. d5, what does white do about the threat of d4, apparently winning the knight? If e4xd5 then Nxd5, and it looks like black is going to break up white's pawns around his castled king. a3 and b4 doesn't look great to me.

  An Englishman: Good Morning: A Center Game. A freaking Center Game in a Super-GM tournament. Me five remaining brain cells have experienced an electrical short. Guessing that White's pawn mass on the King side plus the limited mobility of Black's Knights give Caruana the edge. Maybe.

The black knights look much better than the rooks.

  OhioChessFan: Black to play his 43rd. I've given up trying to analyze it. I'd lose both sides, quickly. SF says it's equal. I'll just watch.
