The boys get back together in St. Louis to recap the 2026 U.S. Chess Championship in St. Louis, breaking down how Fabi went from giving himself a 0% chance before Round 11 to forcing a tiebreak playoff against Wesley So after Wesley's final-round loss to Sam Sevian. We also discuss Hans Niemann's comments about shifting focus toward other chess formats, whether classical chess is still king, who belongs in the current Top 5 in the world (and where Hikaru Nakamura stands), the new "Total World Chess Championship" format, the Magnus Carlsen and Bobby Fischer world champion paradox, and behind-the-scenes stories from the Chess Olympiad.

Cristian sits down with one of the most underrated chess legends of all time. Grandmaster Peter Leko was a prodigy who sacrificed everything to become a professional. He left home at 9, dethroned Judit Polgar to become the youngest Grandmaster in history, climbed to World #4, and came within ONE GAME of becoming Classical World Champion against Vladimir Kramnik in 2004. Today he's the coach behind Vincent Keymer, one of the most exciting talents in modern chess, and in this conversation he holds nothing back. Peter takes us through his entire journey: the early Hungarian prodigy battles with Polgar, his coaches and his switch from football to chess, his legendary Linares 2003 performance, the preparation behind a World Championship match, what really happened in his unforgettable match against Kramnik, his work seconding the world's best players, and lastly, what makes Vincent Keymer one of the most special talents in chess. Subscribe for more conversations with the biggest names in chess.

Right after the Sinquefield Cup, where Fabi tied for first but Wesley So won the playoff, Fabi looks back on that event and on a strong rapid but rough blitz showing at the St. Louis Rapid & Blitz. We also discuss FIDE's announced appeal decision in the Kirill Shevchenko case, which upheld his ban and revoked his grandmaster title, and chess.com's new proctoring requirement for Titled Tuesday, including the back-and-forth with Hikaru. We finish with the new names in the world top 10, Vincent Keymer's rise and our Grand Swiss predictions.
