Did this game give you some thoughts on your lines? You mentioned you play this sort of stuff as black.

Ding-Caruana is absolutely wild. Caruana is playing like he's still in prep and has a huge initiative, but Ding has two pawns for his pain. If Ding can stabilize he's probably winning but that's going to be a hell of an ask down a full hour in a position like this. (after 19 moves)

Jesus, the engine is giving wild swings on every move because it can't read ahead enough.

Opening choices today have strong "four draw" energy. I look forward to being wrong.

That'll help the giri bettors for chess24 premium or whatever.

Any position that is not won is drawn but, uh, I feel like Caruana is gonna have to put in some work to get there.

That bishop pair, despite being on the back line, are sending some serious domination towards the queenside.

Doesn't look lost, yet, but not good, certainly.

"How has the first half of your tournament gone" was not the right question to ask there. Alekseenko looked like he was on the verge of tears.

Wang finished in last place and has promptly retired from professional chess altogether. Meanwhile Giri also lost in the last round to let Max slip into second place, not that it really means anything.

Ouch, that's pretty rough for Wang.
