Candidates Trouble, Wang Hao Edition
Monday, October 5, 2020 at 3:40PM
Months ago, Teimour Radjabov withdrew/was forced to withdraw from the Candidates on account of his concerns about COVID, and now Wang Hao is expressing his displeasure with the safety of the venue as well. (HT: Allen Becker) A few moments ago, I listened to Fabiano Caruana's interview after his round 1 game at Norway Chess, and it was clear that Wang Hao is by no means alone in his concerns, either. It is clearly premature to assume that the Candidates will occur on schedule on November 1 and in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
