amWhy

@user132081 What time is it for you now? Eat a nice supper, relax, and get to sleep at a decent hour!

Anish Giri - Post Round 10 Interview

►

user132081

@amWhy it's almost the one-year anniversary of when I visited Madison, WI -- last February

quid

The channel contains various other interviews.

amWhy

@quid Ahh, thanks for the link!

@user132081 Well, plan another visit! ;D

user132081

I stayed at the Madison Concourse Hotel

Yeah :) hopefully ...

I wasn't able to secure funding for my PhD at Wisconsin. But, who knows, maybe a strange detour will lead me back to the university in the coming years ... ?

g'nite @amWhy 😴

amWhy

@quid I Anish Giri the former Iranian who Carlsen helped prepare?

@user132081 Good night! Sleep well!

@quid oops, no I got that wrong!

quid

@amWhy IIRC Anish Giri by origin is Russian (mother) and Nepalese (father)

amWhy

@quid Yes, I just read up a bit on him.

quid

His wife is also a professional chess player.

amWhy

For a moment I confused him with alireza firouzja.

@quid Wow, nice!

Any feedback on the new rich text editor they are planning to switch to? This looks more like the editor in blogger which uses both rich text and html views. Why they do such changes? Replacing the better with worse.

Of course, if a man has success it is always the merit of his wife, what else ... @ParamanandSingh A phenomenon human beings having the power to change something apparently always exhibit. Change what is good, do not change what is bad. No chance for improvements. This site is no exception.

Apparently, I cannot watch the live-games on lichess anymore. Upto the last round this was possible.

In the last round, I wondered a bit why Caruana could not realize a clear better position against Carlsen.

amWhy

@Peter Are you following the Tata Steel Tournament?

Peter

I did, but today I apparently cannot, at least not at lichess. Do you know a site only exhibiting the games, and nothing else ?

amWhy

@Peter Not off hand, but @quid would be the one to ask!

@Peter Have you registered for an account on Chess.se? I've thought about checking it out myself, but it might be a good source to find what others are using.

@ParamanandSingh I wasn't aware of this change. Don't fix what ain't broken!

@amWhy: this is in alpha testing. You can test this by changing preferences. It will be rolled out after some time after their testing is complete. There is discussion ongoing on meta.stack

Q: Opt-in alpha test for a new Stacks editor

TL;DR: We are testing our new open source Stacks editor that offers both Markdown and rich text input options. If you’re interested in testing it out and giving us feedback, you can opt in by visiting your preferences page and enabling the Stacks Editor. You can opt out at any time but it will ta...

@ParamanandSingh Ah. Thanks for the link.

@amWhy Is a round in Tata Steel today at all ?

@Peter no it's a rest day

@Peter chessbase? live.chessbase.com/watch/83rd-tata-steel-masters-2021

Peter

@quid Thank you

quid

@amWhy personally I'm used to chess24, but I just recommended chessbase because it has a somewhat more pure interface.

amWhy

18:52

@quid Thanks for posting! I'm familiar with both, but I thought you'd be the better source to ask!
