Carlsen, Dvorkovich & Kramnik on ending the Candidates
Instead of Round 8 of the Candidates we got the bombshell
news that the tournament was being stopped, with the players, their teams and
others involved scrambling to get flights home. Rather than commentary on
Caruana-MVL there was a post-mortem on the decision to start and end the
tournament, with Arkady Dvorkovich joining to explain FIDE’s actions, while Magnus
Carlsen shared some strong views on the suggestion by Vladimir Kramnik that
Teimour Radjabov should get the wild card to the 2022 Candidates.
