Guys, I'm so over the moon. This was my first time streaming this tournament on Twitch and had no expectations. But here we are, somehow at the top after many tense games (including ones against Jospem, Caruana and Bok) - will be hard to repeat that . And thx for all congrats! ❤️

Can't play chess well, so will try to focus on tweeting. What a great decision to give them two zeros. They could play any theoretical line and noone would care. Both this decision and seeing @sagarchess1 while walking made me feel slightly better after depressing day

@princesse_rasta For the top-tier events, yes. Once again, dress-code is implemented in nearly every sport. The one which is used here is the softest FIDE ever had - it was devised by Athletes Commission, consisting of active professional players. Ofc details can always be discussed and improved.
