Don’t forget John Bartholomew. Not a GM yet, but he will be someday IMO. Oh, and Ben Finegold (who is a GM). I found them more informative than Hikaru and Botez by far.

Magnus Carlsen is obviously insanely good, that goes without saying. But he tends not to explain what he’s doing in the same way other streamers do. I find it more fun to watch when there is commentary on the reasons behind the moves being

Asian, Arab and Hispanic all come from place names (Asia, Arabia, Hispania). This is why they are capitalised.

I’m not sure if the low-dose dexamethasone treatment really is that “dangerous”, frankly. Steroids do have side-effects, but this drug is quite well-known and used frequently. Under medical supervision, and especially if the dosage is low,

Oh yeah, we should just let the rioters destroy public property. If the police just didn’t enforce the laws, there’d be no problems!

I can see the arguments for why this might be advantageous security-wise. I just hope they make it easy to disable (and it remains possible to disable in future) for those of us who are technically minded and are able to read URLs.
