And there’s me thinking Nepo would be like,
‘I’ve just lost another world final, I think I’ll perform a song and dance routine’

Re: TDF Chess Thread
There was a split in chess when Gary Kasparov created his own organisation to go against FIDE. I forgot what it was called. Similar to darts. Has anyone looked into that

Good article for those who take chess seriously. However I'm just an unambitious county jobber in chess.

Re: TDF Chess Thread
Looks good, I will try it tomorrow at the tournament I'm playing at currently. I need some tricks now for an easier win, I'm out of form now.
