Well deserved. Hikaru is the biggest drama frog in the chess community, and never misses a chance to fan the flames for entertainment’s sake. He’s a bully.
I’d be lying if I said I never guilty enjoyed watching any of it, though.

I just started feeling bad for Hans eventually 😭
Getting tournament invites cancelled etc

Yeah, same. I’m glad they finally got everything more or less resolved. Incidentally, I lost a lot of respect for Danny Rensch and chess com for how they handled everything.
Hans definitely plays into being the Heel, so I get why some people don’t like him, but he’s also a genuinely very talented player. I look forward to seeing him succeed in the future.

May I interest you in our lord and saviour lichess?

But of course! Lichess is great! From a spectator perspective though, chess com is kinda unavoidable.

I never cared for chess.com or Danny. I didn’t think he was bad at dealing with it all tbh. It was an odd situation. Most sports are run by stupid dinosaurs, hes probably one of rbe better people around.
I agree with Hans liking the heel role. I can see him in the candidates in not too long.
