I assume you're all aware that the 2019 Sinquefield Cup starts today - in just under an hour and a half, to be more precise - and the St. Louis Rapid & Blitz finished a few days ago with Levon Aronian eking out a victory, finishing half a point ahead of Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Ding Liren, and Yu Yangyi. Most notable, of course, was the absolutely disastrous performance of Magnus Carlsen, who lost TEN games, went -1 overall, and fell from the #1 spot in both rapid and blitz. I won't be covering the Sinquefield Cup, but as long as I'm hanging around I thought I'd mention it, as a PSA.
