| Shams: <Absentee> did write that comment. Nobody asked him about it. At the time I guessed he was coming from the left when he said that and was contemplating some sort of trotskyite galvanization of the global non-elites as a response to Trump. |

| Shams: <MostlyWatch> Another idea is to give her X number of free moves at the start of the game (six is a good number) with the caveat that her pieces can't cross the fourth rank. |

Jan-24-17 Wei Yi vs B Adhiban, 2017
| |
| Shams: Exhausting, yes, but if you have to play a marathon this is an opportune time: the day after a rest day, and with only one more game before the next rest day. Tomorrow Adhiban has White against an out-of-form Nepo. Will he take a short draw or try to jump into the pack just above him ... |
