Many people liked the decision. Some (especially Russian and Armenian) criticized it. Few even got personal with me. One thing I want to stress again. Sometimes there is no good decision. Dvorkovich's was probably the lesser evil. And it was made in a good faith.

Kudos to Magnus! In spite his great result, Norway lost nearly all chances to make it to podium, but he keeps on playing. Today his team is in the hall B, and the World Champion is there. I simply can't think of any other World Champion in the history who would act like that.

Praising young genius is a common place, but I would like to single out Armenian GM Gabriel Sargissian, who turns 39 next week. He peaks at 2711.4 at the age where many people stop playing, and chess fans casually write off their heroes. Not in Gabriel's case. Bravo!

Djokovic says he won't retire as long as he is no.1, neither did Roger or anyone in male's tennis after Borg. Ours Fischer and Kasparov retired, while Magnus gave away the title. Why Nole/Roger/Rafa kept the motivation, and chess greats didn't? Mental fatigue vs the physical one?
