Apr-11-24 World Championship Candidates (2024)

Apr-04-23 Nepomniachtchi - Ding World Championship Match (2023)
| |

Dec-03-21 Carlsen - Nepomniachtchi World Championship Match (2021)
| |
| in.Limbo: I don't think draws are a problem as such (also, games here have been pretty intense so far), but people trying to sell the game to wider audiences. You gotta truly love and enjoy the game in order to enjoy these protracted, less flashy outcomes. Also, it has to do with the ... |

Nov-12-18 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2018
| |
| in.Limbo: Maybe if the WCH Match was longer, say 24 or 32 games, they'd risk more each, since they'd knew they have time to catch up. |

Nov-10-18 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2018
| |
| in.Limbo: "How does Black make progress? I'm not trying to be smarmy, I am interested in getting educated...What are you seeing that I am not?" - zb2cr Take a chill, z. Nobody is implying that Caruana did actually miss something. It's just a suggestion of mine. (My point, by the way, had to ... |

| in.Limbo: I like the way Caruana handled himself throughout this rather complicated 1st game. He didn't came here to save face: he came here to fight. |
