Oh my god what is this 39:57 the disrespect my guy pulled
when is fide removing racist double standards? if russians can't play under their flag , usa, other nato countries(including norway), israel, etc, shouldn't either.
This commentry is so boring. I can't explain why. Maybe Vishy needs somebody who can complement him. Chess24 stream is much more engaging!
I'm not sure who runs FIDE, but after the absurdity of a couple of years ago of deciding a tie based on criteria rather than over the board, they set up a playoff with absurd time controls. If necessary, they should have another day to decide it, graduating down in time control. To go from rapid to 3-minute time control is absurd. It just randomizes the results.
Please don't let Vishy run the mouse, he is really really bad about leaving all his marking on the screen from one game to the next. If FIDE Chess can't coach him or replace him I will be leaving for other channels that have a level of professionalism that matches the players level. Not trying to bash him as he is a great guy and amazing player but his skills to be lead commentator are not up to snuff.
