If you think chess is complex, you should try to figure out this event's scoring system! But as long as the games are exciting, it's fine. Can't be worse than Olympiad tiebreaks! 🤯
Day 1 of the Clutch Chess Champions Showdown is in the books!
Hikaru Nakamura leads with 4/6 points, followed closely by Javokhir Sindarov with 3.5. Fabiano Caruana sits on 2.5, while Praggnanandhaa has 2.
Hikaru also leads the bonus prize standings with $2,000, while the other three grandmasters have each earned $1,000 so far.
But things are about to get even more intense! Day 2 brings double points AND double bonus money, with every win now worth $2,000! The standings and prize money could change quickly.
Tune in tomorrow at noon CT for more Clutch Chess Champions Showdown action!

Pleasure to finally speak with @GMJuditPolgar in person! I told her I started sacrificing 2 pieces in the Najdorf thanks to her and she seemed very pleased 🤣

People ask me to post more Studio screenshots. I usually don't, but for this post I will make an exception.
Here is one of my usual layouts. Very convenient.
Looks pretty too.
