Chess

Is anyone watching candidates live? I feel like classical chess is way too slow to enjoy watching live and I much prefer the more modern events with rapid time controls of around 15 minutes. For candidates I’ve just been watching the Gotham recap every day.

watching the stream when games are concluding(last 20-30 min) is really entertaining. the suspense and body language of players is something i miss in recaps

On the other hand in the recaps you get Gotham saying “And in this position… my man Gukesh… with his back against the wall… PLAYS ROOK TO C4 SACRIFICING THE ROOOOK!!!” 😂😂

absolutely! watching gotham recaps are the absolute highlight of my day :)
