My question is about if I'm reading that right. Does that mean Stripunksy and Nakamura will be playing each other? And Bhat will play Schulman?
Also, I understand that the championship will be taking place from 2 pm to 8 pm, each day throughout the championship. Will these games really take 6 hours? What if one finishes before that? What do the competitors do?
