Wow. Is Ne2 the key defense after h5?
I see that I should start with Qg3 which is actually more forcing!

h5? with the idea of Qg3 next if it doesn't take on g4 next move. After taking on g4, hxg4 and if the Q is on g3 we can play Rh2. In case of Q on h4, we can play g3.

The underlying issue is bigger than Musk. The question is how to prevent Bluesky turning into another X in the future. What would stop Musks from buying a powerful international company and making it work the way they want?

I have a feeling that we are witnessing the mirror of yesterday's game. I mean not even mirror if you just look at the colors!

I've also been following FIDE. I think they are doing a great job. Excellent choice of commentators.

I hope so. 1.e4 was interesting from him. I like his Italian choice

Yes, he is very good with that! It's gonna be very interesting. Maybe classical chess is not dead ;)

I am a bit biased. As much as I want Ding to win it, I am afraid of those moments that he freezes or loses control. I don't see him as a clear favorite just yet. nevertheless, I enjoyed the first game

Is it Qd3? attacking the N and offering exchange.
In case of
1. Qd3 Nxf2
2. Qxc3 bxc3
3. a5 .. and the pawn cannot be stopped
In case of 1...Qxd3, we take back with the N and the Black's N is trapped. The B cannot help fast enough and a pawn promotes.

Very interesting point. Do you think Ding will play safe and protect his advantage? He risked it today and got rewarded

Completely agree. The first game didn't disappoint!

Thanks Wayne, I hope so. Specially when it comes to the team matches, it hurts more

Fair enough. I was hoping to find Svidler or Gustafsson broadcast. Good old chess24 days!

I was convinced to do Foden to Palmer and now I have second thoughts. I think I will do Son to Palmer and then give Foden couple of weeks and then move it to Saka!

I agree! But I don't have Haaland. With Foden, I sort of cover the Man City attack. If it clicks Foden will get something

Exactly! Having both Haaland, Salah while Johnson is on your bench without compromising the defence! Looks good man!
