    I saw you are interested in chess events, so let me post the link to the live relay on Lichess.

    Unexpectedly, Magnus plays the blitz world championship, after yesterday saying he won't. He is dominating his opponents, except overlooking a nice stalemate trick against Bok in round 3.

    Caruana has done a Caruana (= seven wins in a row) and is currently the lone leader with 7.5 points, Magnus, Nepo, So and Bortnyk following with 6.5 points.

    Five more rounds to play. Enjoy, if you have the time.
