Magnus And Gukesh Neck And Neck In Croatia!

Post by towforce »

At time if writing:

* Gukesh well ahead in the tournament

* games get faster, and Gukesh might not do so well going forward

* Gukesh and Magnus both have a 43% chance of winning

Verdict: in recent times, Gukesh has been exceeding expectations whereas Magnus has been underperforming: Gukesh is the man.
Human chess is partly about tactics and strategy, but mostly about memory
