I’m just trying to steal Ray Robson’s Chess Puzzle Champion title.

I need a podcast to process everything (World Cup changes, Total Chess Championship is it good? Should it give 2 candidates spots?) Where’s ChessDojo? Someone wake up chicken chess! Find me Ben Johnson, get him in front of a mic! FFS!

Such a loss though. Half the fun of the World Cup was watching players like Abasov and Lodici do well in it. You know how many times I’ve rewatched Esipenko vs Magnus 2021 tiebreak???? So many times I could imitate Esipenko’s pacing between games!! So unfair that we won’t see those moments.

Currently I’m not well. The changes to the FIDE World Cup have gut punched me. I’m in a period of mourning. I will seek solace in knitting my new scarf, and burying my head in my new Dune book.
