Thanks for the response. I phrased the original question rather poorly, but I was glad to learn a bit about the FIDE World Cup. I hope for the safety of this year’s Cadidates’ tournament.

Thank you. A few of the responses made me realize that I didn’t phrase the question very well initially. I appreciate the response, and I think the sentiment you shared is at the center of my question.

I phrased the question poorly, and should have clarified that I was asking if anyone that had planned to attend a match was reconsidering. Maybe I’ll edit it later, and I appreciate the response.

Of all the promises Trump has made, I bet this is the one that he actually intends to keep. /s

Screenshoting this thread to burn it onto a disc later.

I can’t remember which movie, but some basic rom-com. Girl was in a fight with her ex and trying to make him feel bad said, “I gave you the best years of my life.”

And dude, utterly confused, responds, “those were your best?”

The movie was forgettable, but that absolutely savage line stuck with me.

I don’t know why these are asked in the past tense like I don’t still do these things.
