FIDE Makes A BOLD Move, Anti Cheating Proctor Goes Live

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.
