Craziness in Round 8: FIDE Chess.com Grand Swiss
In Round 8 at the FIDE Chess.com Grand Swiss we had just about everything! To start, the main topic of the round was that we had two players "copying" each other, one removed from the playing hall, and all four players involved playing terrible chess! 
Of course, we also had intrigue when Wang Hao and Magnus Carlsen drew their game quickly. Was there more to it than that? I tried to prove as much in my analysis below! 
We also saw a brilliant attack from one of the top female players from India, and unfortunately, a loss for my broadcast soul-mate, Grandmaster Robert Hess.
Hope you enjoy the games and the notes.
