The Candidates is over so we have a new Challenger! And he's just as good as the old one! Ian Nepomniachtchi is the man, but will Magnus Carlsen defend his crown?
All of the Candidate's performances are discussed, along with the revelation that Alireza Firouzja has been working with a former World Champion...
Magnus Carlsen headed to Madrid to play some park blitz where he was joined by Judit Polgar & Anish Giri - they even played a local club blitz tournament!
Vladimir Kramnik ran into some clock problems on chess.com and had things to say.
Exciting news in the FIDE section this week as the Baryshpolets/Nielsen campaign announces their new website. It's so good it even impressed Laurent!
As always, we end with Chickens of the Week.
