The FIDE Candidates rumbles on and after 9 rounds, Ian Nepomniachtchi is the man to beat. He's a full point ahead of Fabiano Caruana with Ding Liren & Hikaru Nakamura trailing on 50%.
There's a lot to discuss at the Candidates from Nepo's impressive performance to Rapport's risk-taking.
"What are you going to fix in FIDE this week, Peter?" continues to provide few answers on what Peter will fix. This week Emil Sutovsky was challenged to a debate and there will now be an epic battle to find a suitable date.
Nigel Short has resigned as VP of FIDE and has gone to war with (one of) the US Virgin Islands Federation.
Dvorkovich has a new website and was recently interviewed for chess24 but have we learned anything new?
We end on Chickens of the Week, with a special birthday chicken!
