A Double Dose of Sam Shankland today on Chess.com/TV!!!

  What a treat today for everyone on Chess.com!!!

   Today, GM-Elect Sam Shankland, fresh off of his 3rd GM Norm performance from the Berkeley International, hosts not one but TWO Chess.com/TV shows for all of us here. Both broadcasts are for Platinum/Diamond members.

   First, at 6 AM PST/9 AM EST/2 PM London, Sam brings us LIVE Coverage of the 3rd Round of the TATA Steel Tournament. There are some interesting matchups for Groups A and B today, and here are some of them below:

Group A

Magnus Carlsen vs. Anish Giri

Hikaru Nakamura vs. Alexei Shirov

Maxime Vachier-Legrave vs. Levon Aronian

Vladimir Kramnik vs. Wang Hao

Ian Nepomniachtchi vs. Alexander Grischuk

Group B

Jon Ludvig Hammer vs. Wesley So

   This should be a great broadcast this morning so I hope all of you will give Sam a great audience to talk to. His analysis should be spot on and I am very interested to see just what will happen today!

   The 2nd half of the Sam Shankland double-header is Your Games Analyzed at 3 PM PST/6 PM EST/11 PM London Time. For all of those that might not know, the regular Host of this show, FM Elliott Liu, is in Italy for three months and will be back at some point in the springtime, so until then, there will be special guest hosts, and today, that host is Sam Shankland. Those who might need a YGA fix, here is your chance. 

   So, enjoy the day's programs today everyone!! It should be a great pair of broadcasts!!

Better than a double dose of Fokker!
