They've been trolling each other hard leading up to the event so the next few days should see an escalation of the tweet war as we start on Tuesday with Giri-Carlsen. Other matches are Kramnik-Nepo, Anand-Svidler, Leko-Ivanchuk & Gelfand-Ding.

Anand sounds like he's fed up with the trolling: "The Cold War, you can't make that up - it was there... Look, Giri-Carlsen on Twitter is not Fischer-Spassky!" https://twitter.com/i/status/1284489256908587009

Anand making a decent fist of today's match so far, White in the fourth game having drawn the first three.
