This is presumably of interest to very few, but we have had some serious chess players post on BBI during previous championships.
Fabiano Caruana is trying to become the first American to win the World Chess Championship since Bobby Fischer in 1972. Magnus Carlsen is defending his championship for the third time.
Game 3 about to get started. The first 2 games were draws.

It will distract me from worrying about the Giants for a while :)
Woody Harrelson knocked over the American player's king in the first game which is the universal chess acknowledgment of capitulation.
Then he moved the wrong pawn.
Not a very good way to represent American chess imo
I'll make it easier for you:
I remember Fisher in the WCC as a boy, and maybe since my dad was into chess, and the event, it captivated me.
GO USA!
