With all respect towards Nepo and amount of work he puts into top level chess, any real chess content is replacing and displacing popcorn stuff and this is just terrifying.

Unfortunately my
#ChesscomGlobal
run came to an end. GGs, Jeffery - he just played better today. Thanks everyone for all their support and thanks to
@chesscom
for setting up this event and giving me the opportunity to play the best in the world.
It was great to be back competing in a classical over-the-board tournament again. Even better to win of course! Thank you to everyone who supported me throughout the event! Donβt know yet what will be next, but I will be back.
Congratulations to
