It's a game, not a sport.

given the interest...

caruana lost a rook ending in which he was slightly favoured in game 1. should have at least drawn, but lost.
a blunder in game 2 suggests he didn't recover from that ending.
game 3 was just a formality, with magnus only needing a draw, and finishing with two queens on the board.


a hammer winning something!

It was mental. We had a proper knees up. Shots every time a pawn was taken and lines of chang every time any other piece went. Proper bender, we were all smashed. I've not been to sleep yet. Better than a night with warps mum!

Hi there!
I have been playing chess since childhood. My grandfather taught me when I was 6 or 7 years old.
Then we often played with him, he succumbed to me.
Now I'm teaching my son. He is only 10 but plays very well. I think he will grow to be a true champion.
And I don't play that often because I started playing casinos sometimes.
Interestingly enough, I like it. I'm not a good player, but I still make a small profit.
Here's a good list with no deposit casino bonus from free spin
I think it will be useful
