| fisayo123: <Qindarka> I don't know what you're counting but the only victories I've seen since 2017 for Caruana are : Norway Chess (2018) (a reduced 8 rounder in which Ding had to drop out because he hurt himself) GRENKE Chess Classic (2018) London Chess Classic (2017) (the most ... |

Nov-02-19 Wesley So
| |
| fisayo123: That was a sensational performance from So which lends some credence to the theory he might be the most talented player of this generation (for the players age's 20-30) |

Nov-02-19 Magnus Carlsen
| |
| fisayo123: <I am fully and sincerely aware that currently he is the best chess player in the world, and I don't think at all he is going to be dethroned in the next 8-10 years, > I'll be amazed if he doesn't get dethroned sooner. This isn't the 1980's. There's just far too much talent ... |

Oct-19-19 Isle of Man Grand Swiss (2019)
| |
| fisayo123: Nakamura has faced an average rating of 2644 and has by far the worst tiebreak of the leaders. Still hasn't beaten a super GM in over a year. I won't be calling it a return to form yet. |

Sep-28-19 World Cup (2019)
| |
| fisayo123: Ding Liren is the LAST player Carlsen wants to see in a World Championship match. Let's hope Ding wins the Candidates and we get a match between two of the very best in the world. Match victory for either player; For Ding to confirm his standing as one of the greatest talents ever |

Aug-29-19 Sinquefield Cup (2019)
| |
| fisayo123: To be fair as long as So , MVL and Nakamura some favourite clients are still competing at the top, Carlsen will always have a chance to finish close to the top in any tournament standing. |

Aug-29-19 Carlsen vs Ding Liren, 2019
| |
| fisayo123: The commentators were a bit critical of Carlsen giving away his light square bishop but he had to because he just loses a pawn to 18. Bc2 Ncxe4 and his position is collapsing. |

Aug-01-19 Mihajlo Radovanovic vs Wei Yi, 2019
| |
| fisayo123: This seemed to be a very fortunate win for the Chinese. He was outplayed for a decent duration of the game after 25. Rf1! black has to compromise his kingside as he's just worse after 25...Rd6 26. Qxd5 Rxd5 27. g4! Wei Yi's opponent seemingly played Qxg2 very quickly and didn't ... |
