There GM Johan-Sebastian Christiansen expresses his disappointment over the changes made to this year’s World Rapid and Blitz Championship. “I am extremly disappointed of how things have turned out. Recently they announced this weird thing that they are having a random free day between the rapid part and the blitz part which I do not see any reason at all why we should have this.” GM Johan-Sebastian Christiansen continued, “New York is a nice place, but it is a very expensive place to be during this time of the year” See his full statement here
