World Cup Wobbles after Covid-19 scare as Aronian and others withdraw; Concerns for Caruana

no Aronian withdrawed as I guess he is having high fever
I say lets get back to our international competition where people sit directly across from each other across a small table for hours and hours. I am sure it will be totally fine! No masks needed! (just kid)

I hope Aronian and the others are OK. It seems that FIDE is in denial about the pandemic still - this tournament is ridiculous. Coming to Caruana in the middle of the game with news his opponent has Covid?? Absurd level of disorganisation.

They need to take cues from responsible industries and use strict and proper safety protocols, or DON'T HAVE A TOURNAMENT at all....

If so many people withdraw, what is the point anyway?
Go away, COVID-19! GO AWAY, COVID-19! Hope that they start feeling better soon.

Anyways, as always, the games were awesome!

(Oh, and happy birthday to IM Volodar Murzin! 🎉🎉)
