E. l'Ami - W. Hao
J. Smeets - V. Kramnik
M. Carlsen - I. Nepomniachtchi

Anand should bulldoze Shirov. Mags and Nepo should be an interesting game but to me, the key game today is Naka and Lagrave. If Naka won this tournament he would be the first American EVER to do so. I hope he doesn't buckle under that weight. Enjoy the show everyone!!
yesterday's games were bloody, but i predict even more decisive games today. Elliott can't make it, but hopefully I have a good special guest to take his place.
Good morning everyone!!
