Lawrence Trent is an English GM rated 2435, but who is Tania?

Aha ok, thanks!

They´re both wearing incredibly ugly shirts - either they both have no say in the design, or they both have no taste Tongue Out  ... or maybe they´re both trying to shock the other optically as a psychological tactic.

Is there any way to disable public (or whatever) chat when watching the World Championship game? I don't care at all for comments like "Go Vishy" or "Carlsen will win for sure" etc. I think they are just there to distract me.

McHeath

Do you mean on chessbomb? I can´t find a way, but you can drag the border of the window to the left and then you hardly notice the chat.

Just saw Anand staring hard at Carlsen, but as Carlsen looked back at him,  he quickly began gazing back at the board lol

He´s not Tal, in more ways than one ...

I meant right here on chess.com. That's what I've been doing up until now, just thought maybe there was an official way. Thanks!

Thanks, I know about the official site but it doesn't seem to work for me today..

Also, could we also have the clock times shown here on chess.com? :)

There is a "pop video out" option as well.

Anand with his widom and experience or Carlsen with his powerful style who‘s win?
