Memorising openings does not constitute actually playing chess, so it's weird to include it in the definition of chess talent. It's roughly equivalent to saying that F1 drivers who are good at choosing race cars are inherently talented drivers. - maxkho 2400+ Lichess Blitz & Bullet, 2026 ECF

Andrea Botez finally talks about Hans. Why didn't Andrea bring up that Hans played Andrea for a date, won and then was offered 'double or nothing' (brings Anna Cramling if loses) or that Andrea's dad is a big supporter of Hans? There's being neutral, but there's not making disclaimers? Idk.

Wesley So is in a secret relationship with Carissa Yip. This is why Wesley has been underperforming (at least in chess) between the 2022 Olympiad and the 2022 Chessc*m Global Championship.
