Anyone following the Chess Olympiad?
The best story was Magnus Carlsen’s team getting stuck in traffic and failing to pick him up, so he rented a city bike and raced through the rain making it with 3 minutes to spare before disqualification. Still won easily.
Also interesting that team China rested Ding Liren vs Gukesh in a must win game. Not a good sign for Ding’s confidence. He’s got two months to figure things out or their world chess championship match will be a blowout.
