i knew it would be a draw; those names are both too easy to pronounce for a decisive outcome

[@yotoober1]

Speaking of candid dates, is Ms. Lagno second, Alex Grishcuk? 🤔

[@kmarasin]

I saw Qe8+ immediately, and Qf7 also was my first choice for the reasons given (black can't protect the pawns.) But it's totally luck.

I'm glad that Ben is doing candid dates and not lying about his past. 😂
Anyway I made a comment on the FIDE chess channel that I think that if Nepo wins the candidates but loses the WCC match for the 3rd time in a row, that he would surpass Korchnoi who surpassed Keres as the best player never to win the WCC match.
Wonder what Ben thinks about that? My opinion doesn't count as I'm only an Expert. 🤣

Winning with either color was easy, except for one thing.
