Hi, this is a crosspost from the lemmy community. It doesn't seem that there is an option to crosspost to Kbin, so I had to manually copy the post. Also, the pictures are a bit of a mess, with most of them not showing, and the rest super big. Sorry for that.
I think it is important to have some coverage of a big tournament with players like Carlsen, Anand, Nepo, Rapport, Duda, Aronian, etc. I hope you don't mind the crossposting.
