Sep-03-22 Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi, 2022
| |
| beenthere240: According to the computer Blacks best option at move 28 is Kf8 and concede being a pawn down. Contesting the matter just loses faster. You can see why Carlsen did not want to go into a long hibernation preparing for a rematch with this guy. Life is too short. |

| |
| beenthere240: Black to play �24 is tough enuf since it seems to call for heroic measures whereas a retreat to the back rank is the killer. |

| beenthere240: MC has an excellent point. The WC title and process is obsolete and boring. The pro tennis and golf models are much more interesting. |

Jun-25-22 Nepomniachtchi vs Duda, 2022
| |
| beenthere240: I think it would be a class act for Carlsen to step aside and let Nepo and Caruana duke it out. |

| beenthere240: Magnus won’t play Nepo. I see no reason to doubt his assertion that playing another same old same old WC has no appeal for him. |
