Nov-18-22 Meltwater Champions Chess Tour Finals (2022) 
| |
| tamar: Carlsen seems in a zone where if he was playing classical time controls, he could reach 2900. But rapid and blitz events have superseded the classical circuit. |

Nov-15-22 Duda vs Erigaisi, 2022
| |
| tamar: 23…Nxd3 threw away the advantage that Erigaisi had carefully built up. Duda cleverly turned the tables with 25 Bd5. Instead the simple 23…Bb3 24 Rd2 Nd7 puts Black in the driver’s seat, a piece up, and the a3 pawn very weak. |

| |
| tamar: Who knew? It was the sponsor cheating at Miami. |

Oct-24-22 Four Nations Chess League (2022)
| |
| tamar: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, but judging from the names of the participants, other nearby nations are allowed to play also. |

Oct-24-22 Jeremy Lim
| |
| tamar: Unfortunate for Green, as he has earned a max contract given his 4 rings and his Chris Paul-like attention to detail, but it is difficult to see him lasting out this season healthy with the seriousness of his back injury last year. Management is in a tough spot, though. Curry and Klay |

Oct-05-22 Hans Niemann
| |
| tamar: Hans Niemann will surely be asked if he cheated more, and past the age of 16 as chess.com asserts. Looks like tomorrow afternoon will be more drama. |
