GM Ivanchuk is streaming on Twitch and he is a real gem 😍 Amazing games and stories from a legend of chess. It's a real shame his viewership is so low, his channel is massively underrated. Please spread the word and subscribe 🙏🏻

@SergeyKaryakin Dubov is higher rated than Esipenko. Also, given that Dubov has a plus score against you and took away your chances at the Russian Championship title last year with an immortal queen sac game, I believe it's inappropriate of you personally to keep raging against his nomination.

@anishgiri It's shown over and over again that classical tournaments are captivating and have a huge positive response from fans. Rapid and blitz formats, especially online ones, are artificially hyped up by players and companies with interests to do so.

@VBkramnik Sadly, just because someone else does it, it does not absolve us of legal issues. I believe that cheating is ONLY when an unfair advantage is gained in the game. However, one can argue that using another player's account can mislead opponents on opening prep and playing style.
