Chess News. It’s rapid today, for tie breakers, starting with 25 minutes with diminishing time as games go on. Yesterday, Magnus pulled a victory out of thin air in a fantastic endgame. The turning point was a double-blunder. As I watch, Hikaru blundered in the opening via wrong move order. He was sort of blitzing them out. Prag has trapped his knight. Heh heh. Who was it that said that chess is a tale of 1001 blunders?
