I still can't see any comparison between these 2024 players & the FIDE Candidates GM's of the 1970's. These 2 love to make expressions for the camera, but simply aren't playing stunning chess as we saw during the Fischer era. Why? Superb post & camera coverage...3rd rate actors, nonetheless. Any one care to comment? Thank you for the coverage ~

Draw. ✍️ It actually was a lost opportunity for Hikaru in my opinion. GothamChess will definitely let us know!! 😅
