@GMHikaru and @LevAronian played the final of the first Grand Prix, but now there is no chance that both qualifies for the Candidates.
Why? Because they are paired in the same preliminary group.@FIDE_chess has to stop its experiments without thinking through the consequences.

Since I answered so many of the questions I’m getting today on Putin and Ukraine, and more, in my book Winter Is Coming, I’m pinning it. I hoped it would be history by now, but thanks to Putin and free world apathy, it’s still current events. https://t.co/CygciuJkQg pic.twitter.com/T2TfnizP9Q

🇺🇦 Zapamiętajcie ten obraz: Mer Kijowa Witalij Kliczko – mistrz świata wagi ciężkiej, milioner, który mógł w dowolnym momencie wsiąść w prywatny odrzutowiec i uciec. Dziś stoi na straży swojego miasta i ojczyzny✌️

Regeringen arbejder for de hårdest mulige sanktioner overfor Rusland, også når det gælder idræt. Vi presser på for, at landet udelukkes fra al international sport. https://t.co/otT06sUBDR

This is the snake the free world nestled to its bosom, treating Putin as an ally, an equal, while he spread his corruption. Now he strikes again, proving that you cannot avoid battling evil, you can only delay it while the price goes up. Glory to Ukraine. https://t.co/9RMcEuOkgr
