| savagerules: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnn... Elvis and Cary Grant talk briefly at an after show party in 1970. Cary "You were hot tonight!" Elvis "I was a little too nervous at the start". Elvis and Grant both look a bit starstruck. |

Aug-01-23 Ulf Andersson
| |
| savagerules: I remember Korchnoi writing somewhere that in a game with Andersson in 1971 he was somewhat disturbed by the way Andersson was sitting cross-legged on the chair with both hands grasping a coffee mug and with a muffler wrapped around his neck. Korchnoi had lost the game so he had |

| savagerules: Wow, he is short. I wonder though if he's taller than Morphy or Paul Simon. |

May-31-23 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2023
| |
| savagerules: "Wah! Wah! Mommy, I lost. Caruana must be a cheater, just like that very bad man named Niemann. He should be banned from chess." -Carlsen (red eyed and stomping his feet) |

May-04-23 Hans Niemann
| |
| savagerules: So basically from now on if someone beats Carlsen in a slow game they will then be subjected to anal and oral probes as punishment in future games. Anyway, it's just a matter of time until China or Russia imbed a non- detectable implant of some kind in a chessplayer and they ... |

| |

Apr-16-23 Nepomniachtchi - Ding World Championship Match (2023)

| savagerules: Interesting match so far, not the best quality of play but still more watchable than most of Carlsen's WC matches which were mainly draws and then win in fast time control tiebreaks. Both of these players are not at their best when it comes to defending so having the initiative ... |

Apr-10-23 Ding Liren vs Nepomniachtchi, 2023
| |
| savagerules: Is this Ding A Ling so befuddled that he did a fingerslip on the 4th move? He had to be reaching for the g pawn for 4. g3. I didn't really care about who won this match but now that I see Nepo doesn't have the Russian flag I'll root for him and if his opponent doesn't wake up he |

Mar-26-23 Spassky vs Fischer, 1992
| |
| savagerules: 99% of GMs would have played Fischer's 29...b6 here, only Niemann (and all the whiny weak nerds on Stockfish ) would have played 29...Qxf4 |

Mar-23-23 American Cup (2023)
