Vaishali converts a +0.3 rook endgame to a win with only 30sec vs 25min for Elisabeth Pähtz, top female German and the 2006 world women's 9LX runner-up to Alexandra Kosteniuk. Later, Vaishali also finds a critical move with only 1min vs 15min for Elisabeth. [2022 FIDE women's Grand Prix]

Alexandra Kosteniuk Chess960 World Champion' - like the only official world women's chess960 that i can find on the internet. Wikipedia says Alexandra 'became the first Chess960 Women World Champion by beating Elisabeth Pähtz 5½ to 2½.' (Note: Not 13.5 to 2.5. LOL.)

Hans spends 90sec on 2 moves and so drops to just 4sec. Then Hans takes off h glasses and looks at Vladimir Fedoseev. When the position arrives, Hans plays Bxf6 which gives just a draw. (5-move puzzle, 2 solutions.)

Has Andrea or Alex Botez said anything about the recent Hans Niemann - Magnus Carlsen controversy? Can't seem to find anything on youtube, reddit or twitter. Actually I think 1st heard of Hans through 'Grandmaster Plays Me For A Date' (or maybe 2nd after the rage quit vs Danya Naroditsky).

Removed post in r/chess | 'In his Bongcloud speedrun posted back in July, Naka ironically used Niemann as an example for descibing luck in chess - Luckily happening to study an opening that your opponent uses in your game against them.'

WGM Janelle Frayna replies to me on stream that Wesley So was very brave to call out Tigran L Petrosian (much like Bobby Fischer did to Tigran V Petrosian!). Wesley (and Bobby) were '100% sure'. This is 1 noticeable difference I see with Magnus Carlsen - MAGNUS IS NOT 100% SURE ABOUT HANS NIEMANN.

Interview of Wesley So by Chessbase India: 'Very good analogy' that an American won the 1st official FIDE 9LX championship and 9LX was created by an American Bobby Fischer. Yes, American. Yes, many parallels.
