Yes, but that appears to only have current and upcoming events. If an event has just finished, and people are still talking about the games, how do you get to them on that site?Ian Thompson wrote: ↑Fri Feb 04, 2022 5:13 pmThere is still https://nxt.chessbomb.com/, as pointed out by Roger de Coverly in another thread.NickFaulks wrote: ↑Fri Feb 04, 2022 3:41 pmAs far as I am concerned, Chessbomb was the best and now it has been dismantled.

That's for sure, but how do you get on with Chess24 on a phone?

Apparently the position after 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.Be2 O-O 6.O-O is super dangerous and needs a ten-minute think.
(Grischuk, of course; who else?)

Ten minutes was quite a brief think if the thought process was trying to find a way to inject some life into the position without taking too many liberties.IM Jack Rudd wrote: ↑Sat Feb 05, 2022 2:23 pmApparently the position after 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.Be2 O-O 6.O-O is super dangerous and needs a ten-minute think.

I'd forgotten just how terrible comments sections get when Nakamura is playing. Especially when he's winning, which he is at the moment.

chess.com round 2 report
In the post-game interviews, the format of the event—where a preliminary group stage selects only one player from each group to advance to the knockout stages—is mentioned often. It is becoming increasingly obvious that almost all the players feel the importance of fighting for the top place in their respective groups, auguring well for the fighting spirit in the tournament.

Fedoseev-Wojtaszek repeats the opening line from Shirov-Dominguez yesterday. I approve of this.

Grischuk, Alexander vs Nakamura, Hikaru
I assume this position is straightforward as Grischuk only took 12 minutes over dxc5

Going into the last round:
Pool A: Esipenko with white needs to beat Nakamura to win the group. A draw is enough for Nakamura.
Pool B: Fedoseev (3) v Rapport (2.5) & Oparin (1.5) v Wojtaszek (3)
Pool C: Aronian has won the group with a round to spare.
Pool D: So (3.5) v Harikrishna (2) Dominguez (3) v Shirov (1.5)

Impressive results from Aronian so far; he's up to number 4 on the live ratings, US no 1 ahead of Caruana and So

Nakamura somehow survived against Esipenko to win Group A whilst Wojtaszek-Rapport & So-Dominguez play-off tomorrow to decide Groups B & D.
