I'd argue this was met by him having <6 min when he played 35.Be1, but due to the wording it's not obvious to me if move 40 counts or not.

@Sindre hm true, sorry, I missed that, I will send you mana back

Commentators predict 3-4 decisive results... But something tells me they have different incentives than making best predictions.

@Weezing I was thinking this when I heard them say that haha

Firouzja wins against Nepo
opened a Ṁ50 Firouzja wins agains... NO at 45% order

Limit order at 45% if you want it @jaseMalinowski

@Weezing Lol, tempting. I've bet enough for now though I think. I've seen Ian defend some pretty unpleasant positions.

Also Alireza's very slow.

bought Ṁ10 White wins more game... NO

@jaseMalinowski Yea, it does not look pleasant, but I think Ian defends it.

@diadematus what depth? Or using post game analysis?

@Weezing at least depth 30 on lichess...
