Until he appeared on the chess24 broadcast yesterday I don't recall him saying anything publicly on the subject.

Erigaisi wins with a round to spare; very impressive, so it will be interesting to see how he goes in the Masters next yearJustinHorton wrote: ↑Sat Jan 29, 2022 12:25 pmJust checking out the Challengers (which I'd like to have looked at a bit but the chess in the top tournament has been too interesting) I see that after losing to Erigasi in round eight Bjerre has won three games in a row and is a point and a half behind, so it's not yet over. Nguyen is also on the same score, and is black against Erigasi today.
(I am probably going for a walk this afternoon, by the way, so probably no updates from me.)

Did he make a big fuss? He exercised his claimed right not to play rather than play in a mask.
Actually if he was considered a risk to other players then not playing actually reduced the risk in comparison to the organisers’ suggested “solution”.

My favourite quote from the article above, Dubov talking about for how long he will have to self-isolate:Peter Shaw wrote: ↑Sat Jan 29, 2022 11:06 amSome actual quotes from the man himself here. His comments make perfect sense to me.
I haven’t looked at the Dutch Covid rules but looking at the UK rules and for few trips in Europe in the last 2 years, I never came across “flexible” rules where you could decide yourself when to test or how long to self-isolate for and that would allow to “find ways” to do what you want."Dubov" wrote: It really depends on where you start counting, and it seems to be a very flexible thing. I will not pretend I learnt all the details, but it seems to be very flexible, … It feels like you can basically find ways.

Meanwhile, in the chess....I'm speechless, nearly speechless anyway, having exhausted my stock of superlatives to describe Carlsen's play against Caruana today. He & I play the same game, to the same rules. But it doesn't seem so. Just calm, unfussy jaw-dropping perfection

Interesting battle for 2nd and 3rd, anyway. Perhaps that was always likely to be the case.

He's quite good at this chess lark, no doubt about that.

An early start today (11:00) and an early finish in two games in each section.

Heh, I'd missed that. Can't say I'm expecting a hard-fought day though (Sergey must be disappointed he's still playing).

Amusingly he actually seems to be grinding out a win from a level ending, who'd have thought it

In the end quite an eventful final round in both sections - overall the tournament has been very high standard despite the Dubov thing.

Great finish (and play) by Carlsen.
Why does chessbomb redirect to chess.com?
I liked the low-graphics interface at chessbomb. Chess.com is slow and clunky on slow computers and slow internet connections.
It seems Carlsen gained 3 rating points. Not helped by the win by default over Dubov in the final round. So he really got 9.5/12 for rating purposes, is that right?
EDIT: Dubov, not Duda!
