@JomboyMedia I pitched, at higher levels. The expression, attitude of Valdez after the "cross up" is all U need to know. He meant it. If it was not intentional he would have paused, double looked, put up his hand (in apology), tipped his cap, or some signal. The expression and body…

If you are around 50, imagine beating the World Champion, a tactical and calculational genius of approximately Gukesh's age, 13-8 in a match, winning 10 games. That is what Botvinnik did to Tal. Never ceases to amaze me.

We can debate whether we communicated these changes well enough. I think we did, you may disagree. Fair enough. And I love you, Anish, but the implication that you are holding back or being censored in ANY way because "you're on payroll" is BS and not ok. Whether you make…
