In October, on HBO's Real Sports show with Bryant Gumbel they had a real good segment about chess in the US, commenting on this match, and the development of the St. Louis Chess Club where Caruana is headquartered.

Re: Chess
I read that article yesterday and was all ready to jump on here to make sure this thread got resurrected.
Looking forward to it. Carlsen may be on his way to GOAT status, but Fabi is only three ELO points behind him. And he has beaten the Norwegian more than once. The big advantage the defending champion has is experience in a tournament like this, which you can't get anywhere else.
(I can't believe my company blocks chess.com because it's a "gaming" site. Sheesh...)

They do speed chess if it remains tied after Round 12...which is probably more like 3x3 or 4x4.

Re: Chess
It's a stepped approach. So, first it's 4x4 then 3x3...
They do quicker games (I think 25-minutes) before they get into an all out speed game. Then, it's sudden death shootout style -- one five-minute game with white getting only four minutes. Seriously! A draw gives the defending champion the title.

Re: Chess
According to the FIDE match rules, this is how the tiebreaker will go:
- First, a mini-match of four rapid games will be played. Each player gets 25 minutes for all of his moves, plus 10 bonus seconds after every move played.
- If the players remain tied after those four games, they’ll play a mini-match of two blitz games. Each player will get five minutes, plus three seconds after every move. They’ll keep playing those, if the two-game mini-matches are tied, for up to five total mini-matches (10 total blitz games).
- Finally, if none of that settles it, they’ll play one sudden-death game using a format known as Armageddon. White gets five minutes and black gets four minutes, but a drawn game counts as a win for black.

Is that like "my wife's boyfriend"?
So THAT’S where Hopkins got their strategy for qualifying for the NCAAs!This is my new hero:
In 1920, Szmul Rzeszewski, age 8, played chess against eight grand masters simultaneously.
He lost every game.

I'm still a big fan of bughouse chess. Played probably a hundred or so matches. Once played in an 8v8 game where you had to have two people on the ends throwing and catching pieces. It's absolute insanity. Fast moves are rewarded.
