Fabiano Caruana and Cristian Chirila have published a new episode of the popular C-Squared Podcast. The top subject of the episode was the St. Louis Chess Club ban for GM Hans Niemann, after he was accused of vandalizing a hotel room during the US Championship.
However, leading into the hot topic, the hosts discussed a variety of other stories – Freestyle Chess Challenge, The GOAT Debate, Fabi’s Haircut, and a super-secret Bughouse event on the sidelines of the German Bundesliga.
Fabiano reported that Dutch GM Jorden van Foreest had won 2800 USD betting on bughouse matches. He also said that the reigning World Champion Ding Liren decided that he doesn’t like the bughouse.
