When chess.com said they were not going to cover the USCL this year, I thought they meant they were doing away with the Chess TV coverage and the live games...not ignoring the season completely ;).
5 weeks into the season, and not even a news mention. Hopefully they will at least run a story when it's over and give a rundown of the season's highlights...
Kind of sad that I am currently having to keep up with both USCL and TCEC directly on their webpages. It's not like there is too much news in the chess world to cover ;).
